$Broadcom(AVGO)$ $ARM Holdings(ARM)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Iām calling it. The OpenAIāBroadcom custom silicon partnership is not just another deal; itās the ignition point for the next infrastructure cycle. Iām extremely confident this marks a structural shift in how hyperscalers build compute at scale. $AVGO ripped +10.6%, its biggest single-day gain since 09Apr25, on staggering institutional flow. At the same time, $ARMās $180C line exploded with millions in premium, signalling where speculative capital is rotating next.
š Chart Breakdown
$AVGO closed at $356.70, breaking cleanly through multiple Keltner and Bollinger resistance bands on the 4H chart after a long period of compression below the EMA cluster.
Key levels: breakout pivot $356.70 (intraday anchor), momentum zone above $360, liquidity flush zones $351 and $347.50, deeper support $335, invalidation on daily close below $320.
The S&P 500 closed at $6,654.72 (+1.56%), Nasdaq at $22,694.61 (+2.21%), and Russell 2000 at $2,461.42 (+2.79%). VIX collapsed ā12.14% to 19.03, fuelling a classic risk-on breadth surge with 3,271 advancers vs 909 decliners on NYSE and 8,663 vs 2,296 on Nasdaq. This is the tape you get when volatility sellers regain control.
š¼ Earnings Snapshot
OpenAIās deal with Broadcom covers a 10-gigawatt build-out of custom ASIC accelerators, scheduled for deployment between 2026 and 2029. Estimated value: $150Bā$200B over multiple years. This joins OpenAIās recent commitments to Nvidia (up to $100B for data centres), AMD (multi-billion chip deployment), CoreWeave (up to $22.4B for cloud services), and Oracle ($300B cloud agreement). Every dollar of AI capex now flows through this silicon and networking stack.
š Segment Revenues
Broadcom generated $51.6B in FY2024. Semiconductor Solutions contributed $30.1B and Infrastructure Software $21.48B. In Q3 FY2025, revenue reached ~$16B (+22% YoY), with Semiconductor Solutions at $9.2B (+26%) and Infrastructure Software at $6.8B (+17%). AI semiconductor revenue alone was $5.2B, underscoring its strategic positioning.
š° Flow & Institutional Moves
š $AVGO led todayās unusual options activity, dominating the tape. A $1.01B dark pool block printed at $356.70. Key prints included $500M (1,401,738 contracts), $350.4M (982,418), $90.9M (254,821), $42.2M (118,333), and $30.1M (84,319).
$ARMās $180C expiring 24Oct25 traded 3,782 contracts between 9:30ā10:00 AM, with a $2,165,847 daily premium and an average fill of $5.73. It closed at $6.72, up $4.29 (+176.18%). This aligns with OpenAIās CPU collaboration with SoftBankās ARM to complement AVGOās Titan ASIC rollout. Pelosiās July 2024 $AVGO disclosure remains the political tailwind gift that keeps on giving. Her $5M buy is now up over 110%.
š§® Valuation Check
Broadcomās multiple is expanding because VMware integration and AI networking are compounding free cash flow growth. This is not froth; itās a credibility reset. Margins remain exceptional and hyperscaler dependence is diversifying as custom silicon becomes core architecture.
š§ Analyst PTs & Sentiment
The Street lit up instantly. Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ and AP framed the deal as a structural regime shift. Analysts emphasised Broadcomās Ethernet-first approach as the backbone of future AI fabrics. Price target consensus sits at $420, implying +25.55% upside from current levels. ARM sentiment is being driven by its CPU design role in OpenAIās ecosystem. This isnāt divergence; itās detachment.
š My Trade Plan
Iām long bias $AVGO above $356.70, adding at $351 and $347.50. Targets are $385, then $420, with a stretch to $450 if options flow persists. Stop: daily close below $320.
Iām tracking $ARM for momentum continuation above $182 spot, using the $180C line as my signal. On indices, Iām tactically cautious after a breadth surge of this magnitude and watching for a potential liquidity flush into the next open.
š Conclusion
This is not just another rally; itās a market reckoning. OpenAI has redrawn the semiconductor power map. $AVGO and $ARM are now at the centre of the next AI infrastructure wave. Todayās flows, breadth, and volatility crush confirm it. Prove me wrong.
