The optimism in the stock market returns after tech’s downturn, however, Wall Street wobbles as major indexes rise through 2025’s last trading week. It is reported that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged up on Monday, following last week’s tech-driven AI crash washed out gains, driven by the prospect of a rate cut and strong earnings. However, the fading in the late session highlights investor anxiety over inflation data as well as employment reports that are expected to be a major factor.
European markets dominated the rebound in interest rate bets; however, U.S. momentum stalled as tech giants such as Meta were lagging 19% from the peaks. This push-pull indicator shows confidence in stocks has returned following the tech selloff, but remains shaky amid fears about valuation.
Tech Sector’s Rollercoaster Ride
Tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.3 percent midday following an extremely rough week prior, and AI stocks absorbed the majority of the profit-taking. The big names remained stable due to Nvidia’s strong performance and Fed signals of possible cuts in December; however, the frothy multipliers create “wobble” concerns. Broader Dow gains remained firmer and underscoring the shift between megacaps and value plays.
Reset expectations, but do not derail the bull run fueled by AI equipment and beating earnings.
What Drives the Optimism Shift
Fed doves signal an ease in policy, which could help counter the noise from the earlier 2025 volatility. Small-cap stocks attract buyers in a time of shrinking growth and offer diversification that goes beyond the Magnificent Seven dominance.

This recovery shows markets can adapt rapidly. Resolutions for shutdowns and AI improvements keep bulls roaring.
Smart Plays for Wobbly Markets
In stocks, optimism about the market returns after the tech market selloff; however, Wall Street wobbles mode prioritizing earnings stability over speculation. Mix AI leaders with sectors undervalued. Set stop-losses at 10% lower than recent levels to manage risk. Long-term, AI’s growth continues to grow despite declines. Plan for 2026’s upside now.
