AI infra and semis were slammed over 7-10 days while hyperscalers kept printing highs, and the setup is framed as a rotation within the market rather than an outright risk-off exit. Midterms, Texas data-center risk, falling oil, and a lower 10-year yield are tied to the move, while Bitcoin reclaimed the 80K-81K area and is treated as the cleaner crisis hedge than gold. The scorecard is mixed, roughly 65% right with partials, and the sharpest calls now are concentrated in NVDA, AMD, AVGO, MU, PLTR, TSLA, and the crypto complex. SNDK is the newest AI-chart example: it is back at its July level and is expected to turn up from 10.37, but it is still not preferred versus Samsung, MU, and SK Hynix on HBM.

  • Markets were "absolutely brutal" over the last 7-10 days, but AMZN, MSFT, AAPL and other hyperscalers hit new all-time highs while AI/semis were "smashed," framing the move as rotation inside the S&P 500 rather than money leaving the market.
  • A "Democratic blue wave" carried even Nevada and Texas blue; Texas is flagged as a data-center moratorium risk, while gridlock is cast as bullish for hyperscalers with large free cash flow.
  • Oil fell hard: Brent dropped more than $10 to the lowest since September, and oil was described as going from $105 to $88 in two days on midterms uncertainty and hopes for normal conditions in Iran.
  • The 10-year yield fell from nearly 5.35 a week or two ago to under 5, while volatility spiked above 20% yesterday, the highest since June, then faded back.
  • Bitcoin moved from a low around 75.6K to above 80K-81K in 12 hours, with $55,000 of movement cited, while ETH, BTC, IBIT, SOL and COIN all rose exactly 3.5% on the same day.
  • The crypto read-through is bullish on BTC versus gold: BTC is expected to outperform gold over the next 1-3 years, and the notes say somebody is buying BTC, with Tether buying too.
  • SOL printed a clean buy signal and bounced off the 200-day at $89; the model is said to be right 82% of the time, with the prior August buy now validated after the fake-out signal.
  • ETH bounced off its 200-day after hitting the buy-signal kill zone around 2220, with the first buy signal since June 12; SOL had been beating ETH for 3 months, but ETH had been flat since August and then caught up.
  • MSFT regained above the 200-day, and if BTC stays back above 82K the upside target is back above $150.
  • TSLA was sold down again to around $384 after a sell signal at 404, with the note not to chase the breakout because midterms risk should digest; the risk is said to be lower than people think.
  • NVDA pierced the 200-day at 204, $199 is framed as a killer deal, and the key message is not to fade the 200-day; NVDA is also described as sold out for 2027.
  • AMD closed at 488, was up $4 in after-hours at 493, and level five is 505; it is said to be weathering the storm because demand is "infinite" and it should go up from the 490s next week.
  • AVGO is around 326, with a kill zone near 330 and a big buy signal at 321 this week; the buy signal is said to be right 100% of the time.
  • MU is described as super cheap, falling to 782 then nearly back to 780 in a picture-perfect bounce off level five, with support usually holding; it is also said to trade at a P/E of 7 and is "falling bonkers."
  • PLTR sold off from all-time highs into a mean-reversion setup at 2.3 standard deviations, a signal said to be right 84.8% of the time and not seen since March 2026; the notes put PLTR at 170 in real time, 164 intraday, with a sell at 213 and a bounce target back to 162.
  • SNDK is back exactly at the July level, at 10.37, and is expected to go up from here; it is not preferred versus Samsung, MU and SK Hynix for HBM exposure, and the AI trade is said to have about 10 charts back at the July level on the dot.
