The AI Trade Fades, But Rotations Hold the Market Together
https://youtu.be/pqpxJaZ2h7I The AI trade is fading. Big tech got pummeled this week. Not even Micron could save the semiconductors. That kind of damage should have cracked the whole market. It held instead. Rotation is the only reason why. I call it musical chairs. Money fled tech and rushed into financials, healthcare, retail, and utilities. That shuffle kept the advance decline line positive while the index quietly bled. The market is still slipping underneath all that movement. We dropped 120 to 140 points on the S&P 500 this week. This entire week came down to one level. The lower edge of the expected move. We pegged it Wednesday night at 7380. Price traded right there all day Thursday and all day Friday. The expected move is not some pie in the sky line. It is the options market handicapping forward risk with real money. Everyone on the professional side watches it.
