Futures were all over the place this morning, but to be honest it just feels like everyone is waiting. Right now, the entire market is basically watching the Middle East, as well as every post on reddit right now. If peace talks keep moving forward, risk appetite probably comes back. If not… different story.

    What’s interesting is underneath all that noise, there are still some strong signals: AI keeps winning, Broadcom just expanded its chip deal with Meta, GitLab is teaming up with Alphabet on cloud stuff, & Big banks like Bank of America and Morgan Stanley are quietly posting strong trading numbers.

    Meanwhile, the 10-year yield is creeping back up (~4.27%), which usually isn’t great for stocks. So now we’ve got this weird mix of: geopolitics driving short-term moves, AI + earnings still strong underneath, and rates slowly rising in the background.

    Feels like the market wants to go higher… it’s just waiting for a reason.

    Curious what everyone on here thinks, are we about to break out, or is this just a pause before another drop??

    The Market feels like it is holding its breath right now…

    1. I am voting for a drop with a breakout following said drop, because I want to dump more into the next drop.

      What is wrong with waiting? You don’t have to rush it and it’s not a contest.

    4. >Right now, the entire market is basically watching the Middle East

      What are you talking about? The market hasn’t cared about the conflict since April 2.

      >Feels like the market wants to go higher… it’s just waiting for a reason.

      Waiting? The S&P 500 is up over 9% in 10 days!

      Even the bots are getting dumb.

      GitHub goes extremely slow, Claude down. Market triple topping. Puts values increasing already +3% despite market +0.2%. sell everything NOW. Circuit breaker imminent as well as boots in the ground announcement

    6. Every fucking dip on SPY is bought.

      Down $0.10, goes up $0.20. And this dumb shit keeps repeating.

      Even with the US blockage there is not much reaction from Iran. You can tell that Iran simply runs out of missiles and drones for large-scale attacks on the region. Blocking the flights and ships into Iran also cut off the weapons supplies from China and Russia. I do believe that the worst of the war is over. A lot of stocks are already at their 3-month minimums and starting to bounce back.

      I personally have no idea what the market ‘feels’ like

      And don’t care to wager a guess

    9. I’m thinking we’re poised for a great summer, and the typical selloff in September/October—back to fear in November, and kick up the next leg in December/January where we should really be getting a glimpse of how AI is moving markets up. Good time to get in.

    10. What are you talking about? Markets not waiting, it’s moving up every day. What an idiotic post lol

      feels less like waiting for a reason and more like conflicting signals canceling each other out

      Told yall 2 weeks ago that Friday was the bottom. Good on yall who caught it and loaded up like I did

      These posts are getting sad and pathetic. Mods needs to start removing these low effort cry baby posts.

    14. It’s all irrational and stupid. But so is the US government and all the geopolitical and economic chaos it’s been sowing.

      At this point the market has their Trump trade down pat. Sell the bluster and buy the inevitable TACO.

      You can argue the short term fundamentals are therefor them to push a bullish narrative.

      But something will give eventually.

    15. Are we ever going to get a day where one of these stupid posts doesn’t pop up?

      Don’t see how the indexes blast thru the ATH like they look ready to before there is more certainty in the ME. What do I know, but this just seems like a trap. Not saying we crash but I think we pull back a tad before or shortly after ATH without resolution in ME.
