      One thing I keep coming back to: The trend still looks strong, but this feels like a much more selective market now. Earlier in the move, it felt like momentum could lift almost anything. Now it feels more like the market is rewarding quality, earnings strength, and real leadership. I’m not in the camp of blindly shorting strength here, but I’m also not chasing every breakout like it’s early cycle. Main question for me: do leaders keep leading, or do we finally get rotation into laggards?

      The markets have been rising and the party is on. However there is a dark side to all this.  As I like to say,"Every trend has an end" so we should look at the case when the trend reverses. Big players are already leveling up the contrarian bets. There is a call wall according to GEX data which was the highest OI for the SPX at 7400 but that has been broken. Smaller walls exist at 7425 and a bigger wall at 7450, and a greater wall at 7500.  Every time these levels are tested, big players will sell actively to reduce their Gamma Exposure and to avoid being trapped until they can move their positions higher.  So think of the contrarian scenario so you are in the right side when the trend ends!

      I would lean toward staying invested, but trimming selectively rather than going “all in” after six consecutive weekly gains. The structural AI thesis still looks intact: Hyperscaler AI capex remains enormous and multi-year in nature. Memory/HBM, networking, power, cooling and semiconductor supply chains are still capacity constrained. Earnings revisions for major AI beneficiaries are still trending upward rather than downward. That said, valuations are undeniably stretched. Historically, when the NASDAQ-100 enters upper percentile valuation zones after a rapid melt-up, markets become highly sensitive to: earnings misses, weaker forward guidance, capex ROI doubts, or macro surprises from rates/inflation.

      The Nasdaq hitting highs again looks strong on the surface, but I think this is where discipline matters most. I’m not automatically bearish here, but I also don’t think “market making new highs” is a reason by itself to chase. For me, the real question is whether leadership is still broadening, or if money is just crowding harder into the same quality names again. If breadth keeps improving, dips may stay buyable. If it stays narrow, I think chasing gets riskier from here. Are people here still buying strength, or starting to wait for better entries?

      There must be something that the smart money knows. Not sure why Goldman is going against the general flow. As usual, the smart money manipulates the market and we never know if goldman is trying to trick retail investors to pour money into the stock market. I don’t dare to chase the highs at this current level. It looks over extended though valuation is near the past 5 years. Technology and AI has driven the gains. Considering that it is driven by specific sectors rather than market as a whole is concerning even with strong labour reports. AI and technology could go higher but I prefer to wait for pullbacks to give me bigger bang for my buck. There is no hurry to jump in with my investment horizon of at least 10 years.

      The Case for Momentum (Why it might keep going) • Earnings Inflection: We aren't just trading on hype anymore. Q1 2026 earnings are exceeding forecasts by 20.7%—the strongest upside surprise since 2021. The "AI infrastructure" trade (NVDA, AMD, MU) is actually delivering the cash flow to justify these prices.  • Lack of "Exhaustion": Technically, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the "overbought" zone (above 70), we haven't seen a bearish divergence (where price makes a new high but RSI doesn't). This suggests the trend is still "healthy" for now. • Broadening Leadership: It’s no longer just the "Magnificent Seven."

      My take: Goldman vs hedge funds? Both can be right. Goldman Sachs is looking 6 to 12 months ahead on earnings and liquidity. Hedge funds are trimming because positioning is crowded after a vertical run. Strategic bull, tactical caution. AMD / ARM upside? Advanced Micro Devices still has runway if AI GPU share keeps rising, but valuation is no longer cheap. Arm Holdings has strong AI CPU tailwinds, though much optimism is already priced in. Upside remains, but multiples are stretched. If Iran deal + Fed cuts? Money likely rotates from crowded leaders like NVIDIA into: 1. small caps 2. financials 3. REITs 4. industrial cyclicals 5. software / AI infra second-derivative plays Next leg broadens, not narrows.

      My call: stay invested, but trim selectively. This rally is not purely speculative. It is backed by real capex, strong earnings breadth, and a sharp repricing in AI infrastructure names like Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Micron Technology and Sandisk. The semiconductor index is up sharply, and earnings have broadly beaten expectations.  That said, six straight weekly gains + elevated valuation percentile = thinner margin of safety. Forward returns from here are likely more volatile. My positioning: Core compounders (60 to 70%): hold High-beta runners (20 to 30%): trim into strength Cash (10 to 20%): rebuild for pullbacks Next week matters. If Alibaba Group, Tencent and Cisco Systems confirm AI monetisation, networking demand, and enterprise spend, the bull case extends. If not, the

      Over the past week, the situation in the Middle East has presented a state of "extreme stalemate, neither war nor peace." Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the United States briefly initiated "Operation Liberty" in an attempt to escort trapped vessels out. However, following a strong response from Iran, US President Donald Trump officially announced the suspension of the plan on May 5, citing the "acceptance of Pakistani mediation." During this period, Iranian officials reiterated that the strait would not reopen unless dictated by national will, leaving energy supply chain risks elevated. On May 7, local time, a new round of military conflict erupted between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the sudden outbreak of hostilities, US President Donald Trump insisted that the US-
