The S&P 500 is heading toward a 17% finish for 2025, marking the third consecutive year of gains as the bull market rides strong on AI-driven momentum. Beyond the headline gains, the disparity is striking—tech leaders and AI beneficiaries have soared while traditional sectors lag considerably. For investors tracking both traditional equities and digital assets, this sustained rally reflects broader confidence in innovation-led growth. The divergence between winners and losers becomes increasingly important as markets reassess valuations amid shifting economic expectations.
