What are people trading in the US stock market lately?

There's something you might not believe —

A lot of folks trading US tech stocks aren't really focused on the company's performance; they're actually trading based on "the Fed's mood." To put it simply, whether a company's earnings report is good or not doesn't matter much; what matters is if Powell's next statement will make money more expensive.

Last week, a few signals were quite interesting. The AI concept in tech stocks is still hot, but it's clearly losing steam, and funds are starting to move elsewhere. Big companies keep saying, "AI can save money," but whether that saved money will turn into real cash is still up in the air. Chip stocks were strong for a while, but recently they've been lagging too.

Now, let's talk about the crypto market; the overall market cap is about $2.67 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of only $80 billion. To be honest, that number feels a bit cold. The Fear and Greed Index is at 28, showing that market sentiment is still fearful. BTC's dominance at 58% is pretty solid, indicating that people still recognize this "digital gold."

Let me highlight something for you:

In times like these, patience is more important than anything. Don’t chase after a sector just because it’s up, and don’t panic when it’s down. I've seen too many people lose money, not because they were wrong about the direction, but because they couldn't control their hands.

And then there's position control. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket; this old saying, if only more people took it seriously, they wouldn’t be losing sleep during a bear market.

Are you currently paying attention to both the US stock market and the crypto market?

A. Only watching crypto, focusing on one lane
B. Watching both, with a 50/50 split in positions
C. Mainly US stocks, treating crypto as a side hustle
