Stock Market Rally Faces ’Buyers Fatigue’ Threat, RBC Warns
Wall Street's bull run hits a wall as investor enthusiasm wanes—RBC spots trouble ahead.
The Fatigue Factor
Buyers are tapping out after months of relentless gains, creating headwinds even traditional analysts can't ignore. No fresh capital means no momentum—basic math that still catches portfolios off-guard.
RBC's Reality Check
The bank's warning underscores what crypto natives already know: markets breathe in cycles, not perpetually. Greed has a ceiling—even for suits who still think 'blockchain' is a spreadsheet upgrade.
Looking Ahead
If equities stutter, watch for capital rotations into digital assets. Because nothing fixes buyer fatigue like an asset class that never sleeps—or asks for a broker's permission.
Maybe the real fatigue is from waiting for TradFi to admit decentralized markets nailed this volatility thing years ago.

“When we zoom out, we think this is evidence of buyers’ fatigue,” wrote RBC head of U.S. Equity Strategy Research Lori Calvasina in a note to clients.
Retail Hesitates amid High Valuations, Seasonality
Calvasina added that the FLOW of passive investments from retail investors has begun to turn negative. She noted that elevated valuations and September, historically the market’s weakest month, are also risks.
That echoes a warning from JPMorgan Global Head of Market Intelligence Andrew Tyler, who said that the market could face pressure from “potentially stretched positioning” and waning retail investor participation.
