Pre-market observations for U.S. stocks: Aside from all the rumors surrounding NVIDIA, the biggest concern remains Iran being bombed for several days— oil prices have risen again in pre-market trading. I scrolled through a few short videos— all Americans complaining about inflation: just buying a few items at the supermarket costs over a hundred dollars, and a simple breakfast runs dozens of dollars. Is this really true for those living in LA and SF? If inflation keeps surging like this but rates still get hiked by year-end, the U.S. stock market is likely nearing the bottom of its final plunge. 😂 But what will drive the next upward movement? Previously, NVIDIA served as the engine— we could hype up its upstream suppliers. Now that the speculation has ended and indices have entered a technical bear market, what will carry the market forward? It still feels like we can only generate a three-wave rally— it’s hard to create an entirely new sector. Today’s open, I’ll be buying some NVDA on the dip. I haven’t seen any new technological pathways emerge from humanity yet. Google and SpaceX are rebounding nicely. Also, Anthropic’s pre-market price is already approaching my personal buy zone. I don’t think its IPO is a negative— it might even be a turning point. After all, they’ve been hoarding a massive new model without releasing it. Other news suggests the crypto space is truly done for. Stocks tied to crypto are best avoided entirely. Shift focus fully to AI, energy, and other industries. Humanity’s technological trajectory will be set over the next two years.
