S&P -0.49%, NASDAQ -0.9%. Yet Fear & Greed sits at 33 — fear and reality seem to have scheduled a meeting today.
Today was one of those days where stocks decided to remind investors that upward trends aren’t a given. The S&P slipped by 0.49% and the NASDAQ took a more significant hit at -0.9%. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 nosedived by 1.15%, just in case small caps felt left out of the misery parade. AMD took center stage, shedding a hefty 3.41%. After recent gains, this pullback feels like gravity reasserting its natural order — not that anyone’s thrilled about it.
With VIX sitting comfortably at 17.8 and the Fear & Greed Index entrenched in fear territory at 33, there’s a lot of nail-biting going on for what seems like minor market dips. It’s almost as if investors are hedging against their own shadows while stocks remind everyone that no tree grows to the sky indefinitely. Someone’s math is off because they can’t all be right: fear or data — pick one.
On the crypto front, BTC dipped by another 1.3%, resting at $76,384, with ETH down slightly by 0.5%. Interestingly enough, crypto didn’t stray too far from equities today; perhaps they’ve started sharing notes on bad days too? It’s ironic how both move in tandem when traditionally touted as uncorrelated assets. In other news nobody’s talking about: Cramer rang the bell today — make of that what you will.

💩 Loser of the Daily
AMD fell by a painful 3.41% today, sticking out as the sore thumb amongst tech stocks getting slapped around by market jitters. With competition stiffening and ongoing supply chain challenges, AMD must’ve mistaken ‘going under’ for ‘going up.’ A chip company on a red day is just asking for blue screens everywhere.

The Oracle Speaks
"With VIX at 17.8 suggesting mild unease and Fear & Greed stuck at fear levels, expect some more tremors in either direction soon enough — though if I were clairvoyant I'd be retired already instead of narrating market moods."
