Buffett Indicator Reaches Historic Highs Amid U.S. Stock Market Valuation Concerns

According to BlockBeats, as of January 11, the Buffett Indicator, which measures the ratio of the total U.S. stock market valuation to GDP, is approximately 223%–224%, with some sources indicating it is nearing 230%. This marks the highest level in history, surpassing the peak of the internet bubble in 2000, which was around 150%, and the post-pandemic high in 2021. Historically, the long-term average of this indicator has been approximately 80%–100% since 1970, with a range of 100%–120% considered a 'reasonable valuation' zone. The Buffett Indicator is one of the key market valuation metrics favored by Warren Buffett, who has described it as "the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment."
