Proflex Market Update - Wk 10
Welcome to another weekly update from Proflex!
Markets remain highly volatile, with momentum turning negative over the past week. Investor sentiment is shifting as multiple risk factors have emerged, and the overbought conditions that we discussed in our community call last week have started to impact equities.
GDP Growth Estimates Revised Sharply Lower
• The Atlanta Fed GDP estimate was revised downwards by a significant margin, highlighting the steep slowdown in economic activity.
• This is in contrast to the recent market euphoria, suggesting a disconnect between economic fundamentals and investor sentiment in recent times.
 Euphoria & Retail Investment Surge Created Overbought Conditions • Record retail investment has flooded into stocks over the past few weeks. • Sentiment indicators had hit extreme greed levels, setting up the market for a correction. • We talked about this in last week’s community call, and we are seeing profit-taking and rotation play out in markets. 📌 What This Means: Markets appear stretched and technical correction is ongoing, and we maybe entering a phase of heightened volatility. Tariffs and economic slowdown signals are the biggest risks ahead, and we will be closely tracking how markets digest new data. NVDA Earnings – A Strong Report but a Weak Stock Reaction NVDA reported strong earnings, beating expectations and raising forward guidance to $43B, confirming that AI demand remains robust. However, NVDA’s stock tumbled post-earnings due to: • Extreme options market leverage, which led to sharp unwinding. • Market struggling to find new leadership, causing large swings in mega-cap tech stocks. • Pattern repetition: We have seen NVDA dip after earnings almost every quarter before recovering strongly. The AI Trade Remains Intact: • NVDA’s earnings confirm that AI spending remains on a strong trajectory. • AVGO (Broadcom) reports earnings this week, and its commentary on AI demand will be another critical data point for investors. 📌 Key Takeaway: Earnings season has proven that AI spending is NOT slowing down, but market structure issues are causing short-term mispricings in AI stocks.

Get This Analysis Every WeekJoin 250+ investors at Google, Amazon & Apple who start their week with Proflex. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime. Crypto markets collapsed last week, breaking key technical levels and triggering forced liquidations. Bitcoin took support on its 200DMA, but sentiment remained fragile. Donald Trump tweeted over the weekend about adding Bitcoin to the U.S. strategic reserves, causing a bounce above $90k.
Our View: While this boosted sentiment, Congress is unlikely to approve any government Crypto purchases beyond Bitcoin which has digital gold narrative as well as bipartisan support. Also, there are significant hurdles in getting this bill approved in congress even for Bitcoin reserve as we have seen with various state legislative efforts. However, Trump’s endorsement of Bitcoin continues to strengthen the narrative of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for nation-states and corporate treasuries. This is long-term bullish for Bitcoin but should not be overestimated in the short term. 📌 What This Means: Bitcoin remains a long-term buy, it is getting closer to live up to its digital gold narrative, but traders should remain cautious with high leverage. 📢 Join the Discussion in Our Macro WhatsApp Group!
