On one side, Mike Wilson, Chief Investment Officer at Morgan Stanley, warns that the S&P 500 could drop another 5% to 7% in the short term, stating the correction is far from over.

One Word to Describe My Trades This Week: Rotation
$Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ $Strategy(MSTR)$ $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ This week felt less like a rally and more like a capital migration. Money was constantly moving from one pocket of the market to another. Traders who chased yesterday's winners got chopped up, while those watching where liquidity was flowing next had the advantage. The key word for this week's trades? Rotation. Macro Shockwaves Set the Tone Several macro headlines shaped the market narrative. Oil surge
Option Focus | Institutions Make Two Moves in Broadcom: Buying $280 Puts for Risk Protection While Selling Medium-Term OTM Calls for Premium
Shares of $Broadcom(AVGO)$ closed at $322.16 on Friday, down 4.11%. Earlier reports said Microsoft, Meta Platforms and OpenAI are working with chip designers including Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom and Nvidia to develop a protocol-agnostic scale-up interconnect technology designed for artificial intelligence clusters. Options Indicators Analysis 1. Implied Volatility and Market Sentiment Broadcom’s options currently show an implied volatility (IV) of 52.67%, with an IV percentile of 60.16%, placing it in the mid-to-upper range of its historical distribution. This suggests options prices reflect elevated concerns about future volatility, though not at levels typically associated with extreme market stress. Meanwhile, put option volume slightly e
For years, investors have argued over a simple question: Is Tesla just a car company? $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ On March 12, the market received another clear signal that the answer is increasingly no. Britain’s energy regulator, Ofgem, granted an electricity supply license to a subsidiary of Tesla, allowing the company to sell electricity directly to households and businesses across England, Scotland, and Wales. According to reporting by Reuters and other financial media, the license enables Tesla to compete directly with established suppliers in one of Europe’s largest power markets. At first glance, this might sound surprising—a company known for electric vehicles entering the electricity retail business. But if you look at Elon Musk’s long-term str
Major Indexes Signal Tops with Multi-Month Correction Expected
I'm leaning the tops are now all in for $S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ 100(NDX)$$Dow Jones(.DJI)$$iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ SPX, DJI, and IWM all sent SELL SIGNALS this week while NDX rejected at resistance. SPX topped Jan 28 NDX topped Oct 29 DJI topped Feb 10 IWM topped Jan 21 Expecting a multi-month correction in 2026 with 20–25% drawdown across the board. The path of least resistance is DOWN. SPX has no support until the Monthly FVG at 6,550–6,500. The 3rd wave is confirmed and I'm firmly bearish until NDX, SPX, or DJI crosses their November lows. No reason to be bullish right now.

Citron Targets $MU $SNDK: Is the AI Memory Boom Peaking?
The bulls have been running wild on memory chips for months, fueled by the AI gold rush. But today, a cold bucket of water just hit the market. Citron Research—the short-sellers who love to crash a party—just dropped a bombshell report challenging the entire "Super Cycle" narrative. The result? $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ are bleeding red, and investors are left staring at their screens wondering if the peak is already behind us. The AI Hype vs. The Inventory Reality Citron isn’t just throwing shade; they’re pointing at the numbers. While everyone is obsessed with HBM (High Bandwidth Memory)—the specialized chips powering AI giants like $NVIDIA(NV

SpaceX: The Largest IPO in History Is Finally Here. Are You Getting In?
😀Hi Tigers, SpaceX has quietly become the most anticipated potential IPO in global markets. With a private valuation around $350 billion, it is already the largest private company in the world. Demand for its shares is so strong that investors are buying into private-market SPVs, and some deals have reportedly cleared 30%+ above previous tender prices. If SpaceX eventually goes public, it could easily become one of the largest IPOs in market history. I. Private market demand Because SpaceX is still private, most investors cannot buy shares directly. Instead, access usually happens through secondary transactions or SPV structures that pool capital to buy shares from early employees and investors. What we are seeing in the private market: • Secondary transactions remain heavily oversubscribe

The stock is now 14.9% below its 52-week high of $28.71. Core Market Drivers Specific news catalysts for today's move are not immediately apparent in the provided data. The rally appears to be a technical rebound, supported by a positive net capital inflow of $2.5k for the day.

The Longer Oil Prices Stay High, the Worse It Gets: A Dollar Rebound Adds to the Pressure!
Trump ultimately opted for the "Winning Strategy" we predicted to try and defuse the situation in Iran. While this somewhat delayed move briefly pushed oil prices down from $119 to below $80, the unresolved issue in the Strait of Hormuz has kept oil prices firm, preventing the situation from returning to an ideal state. As the Middle East narrative is likely to stretch into a significantly longer cycle, the risks of high oil prices transmitting into broader inflation will materialize. One thing is certain: the longer this drags on, the bigger the trouble for financial markets. From a technical standpoint, oil prices printed a massive Doji star last week, characterized by exceptionally long upper and lower shadows. Typically, after such a structure appears, the market requires time to dige
