In this short clip from Live Trading Room (Jun 30, 2026), Samantha LaDuc notes that investors are becoming too comfortable with the bullish consensus.
While the market could still continue climbing toward higher long-term targets, she sees multiple hidden risks building simultaneously: a strengthening U.S. dollar driven by the weakening yen, the potential for negative gamma to amplify downside moves, unusually heavy institutional selling beneath the surface, and historically stretched semiconductor valuations.
Rather than assuming the rally will continue uninterrupted, she expects the market could experience a meaningful “shake-and-bake” correction during July or August before any longer-term advance resumes.
