- The bull market is turning four years old, marking one of the longest-running U.S. equity rallies in recent memory.
- Barron's frames the rally as AI-fueled, with roughly $40 trillion in cumulative gains, and argues the bull market "has room to run."
- MarketWatch warns that rising yields could "crash the party," flagging the bond market as a specific risk to the equity rally.
- I/O Fun projects that a correction comes first before the "greatest bull market in decades" truly begins — a two-stage thesis.
- The Wall Street Journal marks the milestone with a celebratory "Happy Birthday, Bull Market!" framing, staying neutral on direction.
Why it matters: The four-year mark puts the rally in rare historical company, but the coverage split is the real story: Barron's sees more upside on AI momentum, while MarketWatch and I/O Fun flag near-term correction risk from yields. For investors with four years of gains on the books, the disagreement centers on whether to hold into yields or reposition before a pullback.
