12:01 11/07 UTC — Bearish
Broad equity sentiment remains cautious as SPY and QQQ experience elevated put options flow amidst a four-week tech sector decline. While individual names like AMD and NVDA saw Friday bounces on data center growth narratives, social and market chatter remains skeptical of AI capex returns. Traders are closely monitoring key support levels like SPY 750 to determine if market correction momentum will persist into next week.
Equity markets face pressure following four consecutive weekly losses in tech indices, driven by growing skepticism around AI capital expenditures and potential circular revenue models across Big Tech (MSFT, AMZN, META). Despite relief rallies on Friday for chip leaders like NVDA and AMD, derivative markets display heavy put activity across major broad-market ETFs like SPY and QQQ. Market participants remain split between panic-driven hedging and opportunistic dip-buying calls from macro analysts.
