Is this the reset before the next big run?

The Market’s Breaking Point

Fear is in the air.

Tech stocks are unraveling, sentiment is at multi-year lows, and the S&P 500 is hanging on by a thread. Nvidia’s post-earnings sell-off, extreme bearish sentiment, and whispers of recession all point to a market in transition — but to where?

Here’s the thing: markets don’t die when fear is high. They reset.

If you know what to look for, this isn’t chaos — it’s opportunity.

Let’s break it down:

  1. Why this sell-off could be a setup for the next leg higher.
  2. Where the money is moving, and why tech is getting wrecked.
  3. How to position yourself when markets are in a fear cycle.

The Fear Trade: Why Markets Are Bleeding Right Now

The S&P 500 just lost a critical level at 5700. If it doesn’t reclaim it, we could be looking at a deeper correction.

Tech is leading the way down. Nvidia, Tesla, and semiconductors got destroyed. The classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” playbook is in full effect — investors ran up these stocks for months, and now they’re cashing out.
