Buying the dip after a 50% YTD drop can be tempting, but it’s risky. A rebound only works if the company still has strong fundamentals, clear catalysts, and valuations that overshot to the downside. Otherwise, you risk “catching a falling knife.” Names like Oklo (OKLO) and MP Materials (MP) benefit from secular tailwinds (nuclear microreactors, rare earths) but remain volatile—Oklo is still pre-revenue, and MP’s earnings are uneven despite U.S. strategic demand. CRCL, IREN, NBIS are higher-risk plays with less visibility; momentum could flip fast. Meanwhile, the top gainers (+200%+) are already extended—buying now means chasing momentum, not value. The smarter approach may be a barbell: keep exposure to proven winners while taking only small, sized bets on select dip plays with credible t
Nvidia Nears All-Time High, Then Retraces: Lessons from the Dot-Com Crash
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The All-Time High and the Sudden Retreat Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) recently captured headlines after reaching an all-time high before pulling back sharply. For investors, this price action represents both a milestone and a cautionary tale. Those who have held through Nvidia’s meteoric rise must ask themselves: have you locked in gains, or is this retreat an opportunity to buy into the AI revolution at a more reasonable level? The stock’s rollercoaster ride is being shaped by the growing narrative around AI, particularly the so-called “Oracle → OpenAI → Nvidia” cycle, where enterprise AI adoption accelerates demand for Nvidia’s GPUs and accelerators. While the AI growth story is compelling, rapid swings in Nvidia’s valuation
Is the Fed Chair Sounding the Alarm on Stocks – Or Setting Up the Ultimate Year-End Surge?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Jerome Powell dropped a bombshell, calling U.S. stock valuations "quite high" by multiple metrics, sending the major indexes into a quick retreat. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all erased gains and closed lower, with tech giants like Nvidia leading the slide amid broader concerns over inflated asset prices. This isn't just chatter – it's a direct hit on the investor confidence that's propelled markets to record highs this year. But here's the twist: history shows indexes love to climb into the final stretch of the calendar, often ignoring short-term jitters for a seasonal boost. So, is this pullback the start of a deeper correction, or merely a speed bump before a f
Market's Stealth Rotation: Tech Dips, AI Defenders Charge – Your Playbook for Today's Volatility Vortex?
Futures are teasing a rebound with Dow contracts up 0.2% and Nasdaq 100 gaining 0.1%, shaking off yesterday's tech-led stumble where the S&P shed 0.55% to close at 6,656 and the Nasdaq cratered 0.95% to 22,573. The pause feels like classic profit-taking after a blistering run, but whispers of sector rotation are heating up – aero, defense, and quantum plays stole the spotlight, shrugging off broader jitters from digested Fed rhetoric on sticky inflation and potential cut slowdowns. Dollar's flex against the yen adds currency crosswinds, while overseas, Alibaba's 9% premarket pop on AI cloud bets signals a China thaw amid typhoon recovery. Broader tape?

$Alibaba(BABA)$$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 🚀📊🔥 Did You Know? BABA +112% YTD vs NVDA +33%… Let That Sink In 🔥📊🚀 🧩 Relative Outperformance I’m looking at the divergence that few are talking about. Alibaba ($BABA) has surged +112.83% year-to-date, dwarfing Nvidia’s (+32.87%) performance. That chart doesn’t lie.

🌐 Alibaba × Nvidia: Can This AI Partnership Spark a New Era for BABA? 🔥 Introduction – A Forgotten Giant Awakens For years, Alibaba ($Alibaba(BABA)$ ) has been viewed as a fallen star. Once hailed as “China’s Amazon”, the company’s stock collapsed under regulatory crackdowns, slowing growth, and fading investor trust. Many long-term holders gave up, calling it “dead money.” But in September 2025, the narrative shifted. At the Alibaba Cloud Summit, Alibaba announced a partnership with Nvidia ($NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) to integrate “Physical AI” into its platforms. Within hours, BABA shares surged 10% in after-hours trading — their sharpest single-day jump in years. At
⚡ ETH Breaks Down! How Low Could BMNR Go This Time? 🚨 Introduction – Sentiment Turns Sour After months of resilience, Ethereum ($ETH) has stumbled. Despite strong fundamentals, ETH is down ~5% this week, with trading volumes plunging more than 30% to $18B daily. Market sentiment is sliding toward caution, with traders leaning into low-volume consolidation rather than fresh breakouts. At the same time, crypto-related stocks haven’t been spared. BMNR fell 10% in a single session, while Coinbase ($COIN) dropped 3%. The big question now: Is this just a healthy pullback — or the start of a deeper correction? --- 1️⃣ Why ETH Struggles Despite Strong Fundamentals Ethereum still has several tailwinds — from Layer-2 scaling to real-world adoption in tokenized assets.

US Stocks Overvalued?! How to Allocate Portfolios?
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in a speech, “US stock valuations are quite high.” Following this remark, the three major U.S. stock indices turned down and extended their losses. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is indeed expensive now. Its NTM (Next Twelve Months) P/E has now reached 23.64, approaching historical highs. It’s close to last December’s level and not far from the 27x mark in 2020. With valuations at such high levels, any small disturbance could trigger a downturn.However, some believe yesterday’s drop was merely a healthy pullback in a bull market. Against backdrop of heightened sentiment of rate cuts, Powell’s remarks acted like an emergency brake on a rapidly moving market.Powell previous speeches mostly led to sideways movement. Nowa
Powell says the stock market valuation is too high, how should option protection be played?
In his first public speech after the Fed announced a rate cut last week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell continued to leave room for further rate cuts as he did at last week's press conference, hinting at cautious rate cuts in a challenging risk environment. During the question-and-answer session, Powell warned that the stock market valuation was too high, triggering a decline in the U.S. stock market.In his speech on Tuesday, 23rd Eastern Time, Powell once again warned that the Fed's dual missions-full employment and price stability are both threatened, and the risks on both sides mean that there is no risk-free policy path. If interest rate cuts are too large or too fast, it may not be able to limit the control of high inflation and keep inflation above the Fed's 2% target. If monetary tighte
Is a Recovery Rally Coming for the US Dollar? Opportunities in Non-Dollar Currencies
Last week’s Federal Reserve interest rate decision went as expected, with no surprises, following the usual course. This resulted in some assets experiencing opposite swings after initial reactions to the news. The US dollar index briefly hit a recent low but then stabilized and rebounded at a key long-term trendline. If this rebound can hold through the rest of the month, the dollar is likely to see a phase of upward repair rally, though the overall large range is unlikely to be broken.The nominal interest rate cut is theoretically bearish for the dollar, but its actual impact has been limited. On one hand, most other central banks are also in the process of easing, so there is no real interest rate gap expectation. On the other, the market had already priced in the Fed’s actions well in
Here are 10 High-quality Stocks Having Their Largest Drawdowns
The market is near all-time highs, yet there are still many opportunities.Here are 10 high-quality stocks having their largest drawdowns: 🧵1. $Novo-Nordisk A/S(NVO)$ Forward P/E: 155-year Revenue CAGR: 17%Year-to-date Drawdown: 33%NVO is having one of its largest drawdowns.Three factors contributed to this:- Competition in the weight-loss segment.- Danish Krone's decline against the USD.- Worse than expected trial results.All these factors are about to reverse.Its oral Wegovy performed better than Eli Lilly's oral weight-loss pill, and it'll be launched late this year. USD is also weakening as the Fed cuts rates, which means that the Danish Krone will recover against the USD.I expect it to recover and climb above $100 within the next twelve months.
