“Tops are a process, lows are a moment” Rates falling, EPS rising, AI bubbling, expectation of Trump/Fed/Gen-Z puts…what’s not to love - BofA's Michael Hartnett 7/11

LOL! This is so fkkd up, backtracking after asking for government guarantees... "backstop" is still a sign something is not going right!
OpenAI wants US govt to provide loan guarantees for its massive infrastructure expansion Nvidia's Huang says "China is going to win the AI race." So... is everyone sounding more skeptical now? $NVDA #openai
BlackRock's big plunge into crypto isn't exactly going the way investors expected? $IBIT was getting massive inflows like Gold didn't exist, now compare the returns on this ETF with the S&P 500 $SPX and gold $XAUUSD ...
China bans foreign AI chips from state-funded data centres - Reuters $NVDA $AMD

Not red enough? Look at S Korea, bleeding big time. Rolling selloff or one-off?? Some of them deserved to drop, like $PLTR $NVDA...
Palantir $PLTR is sinking now. Down >14% from postmarket highs last night. Nothing wrong with their numbers, it's the stupid rally to levels that saw P/E hit more than 600x?

We need Trump or OpenAI to say something to stop markets from bleeding. Are there anymore big tech companies that haven't signed a datacenter deal? You might help the border market to bounce back. $NVDA $AMZN
The battering they had overnight deffo explains why Quantum is not ready to shine yet. Do watch this explainer!
Everyone’s hyping quantum computing like it’s the next AI revolution. But the tech barely works, the valuations are insane, and the quantum bubble might burst before the tech even arrives. So is Quantum Computing really the future? $RGTI $QBTS $IONQ $QUBT
Wall Street futures anchored crypto down quite a bit this morning, maybe because of: 1. Travel and arrive in hyper momentum trades 2. CTAs want to sell no matter which way markets go 3. $NVDA $PLTR and the Big Tech complex needs cool down a bit
Market breadth remains narrow: $SPX closed higher y'day, yet over 60% of its stocks finished lower. The Mag 7 single-handedly propped up the action amid yet another AI announcement. $AMZN #openai
No matter which way markets go, CTAs are seen selling in EVERY SINGLE SCENARIO over the next week.
Retail Investor Momentum is crazy, JPM desk says October saw ~$27bn in purchases vs. $22bn average from May–Sep. Everything from $BYND $OPEN $NVDA $TSLA have been exploding...
Nvidia $NVDA higher premarket as U.S. allows Microsoft $MSFT to ship Nvidia AI chips to use in the UAE for the first time.
I came across this handle @mikealfred only yesterday. He gave a shoutout to both $IREN and $CIFR well before the deals that got signed today. One's up almost 500% YTD and the other one nearly 300%. He's either god or knows something about this. Does anyone else follow him?
Mag7 put-call skew inverts for first time since Dec. Calls over puts signaling peak optimism. History screams short-term consolidation or reversals ahead. Amid mega-tech earnings, Nasdaq soars while Russell 2K shorts pile on, ROTATION ALERT! $NVDA $AAPL $MSFT $TSLA $AMZN $META

US equities net sold last week, gross trading spikes to 7-month high! Shorts surge in Macro Products & ETFs (+7.3%), but Info Tech sees massive short covering post-earnings. Financials flipped to net sold—time to pivot?
🚨 Trend followers dumping gold longs amid back-to-back declines—risk-averse models already out, but high-risk CTAs still holding bullish. Meanwhile, aluminum longs exploding after 5 straight weeks of gains, now the most stretched commodity play. Watch for soybean & meal buys next!
