The thing is, the “people” propping it up, are massive tech companies with collectively trillions of dollars to burn on this thing that is making their stock prices soar.
They have no incentive as the primary investors doing the circular buying to stop. The big problem here is the stock market provides awful incentives to everyone.

This bubble is largely self dependent with all invested parties incentivised to prop it up. Completely different type of situation.

so, still a bubble like the housing crash?

No. The housing crash really started to go off when regular people could not pay their bills. These arent regular folks here. These are mega corporations.
