.@lale_akoner of @eToro says earnings remain the key driver for stocks, market leadership is broadening beyond Big Tech, Fed tightening fears are overdone, and weaker corporate guidance is the biggest risk ahead.

"Retail traders are still willing to swing the bat, but they are less likely to throw the whole portfolio at one pitch...The opportunity is still there, but today's retail investor seems more aware that these trades require tighter risk management, smaller position sizes, and a clear exit plan." @BretKenwell, US Investment Analyst, in @BusinessInsider via @SamuelCObrient.

“Almost half of respondents said that they’re more likely to invest in a space that’s been beaten down by AI — the main reasons being they believe they’ll eventually benefit from AI and they believe the underlying business is strong” @BretKenwell US Investment Analyst, in @MarketWatch via @GGottsegen.

$XLM has been a volatility machine lately.
After nearly doubling into late May and pushing toward $0.30, Stellar pulled back to the $0.18 area — right near its 200-day moving average and a level that had capped it for months.
More retail investors are buying the "5 to 10%" dip.
@BretKenwell of @eToroUS tells @RemyBlaireNews it signals growing comfort with mild volatility, with nearly a third of investors now automated or systematic, focused on "time in the market, rather than timing the market."
US Retail Investors Call Tech Most Overvalued Sector, but Still Back AI for the Long-Term.
Our latest Retail Investor Beat survey found that retail investors are looking beyond big tech for the next AI trade. Over the next 5 years they expect the strongest investing returns to come from:
🟢Specialized AI-first companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI (30%), tying with semiconductor and chipmaking companies such as Nvidia and Intel
🟢AI software providers & cybersecurity companies benefiting from AI adoption (26%)
For more on the next phase of the AI trade, check out the survey results below.

"The Fed came out more hawkish than expected, and that's sort of been glossed over at this point. So I do think we have a couple weeks here where markets might take a bit of a breather" @BretKenwell, US Investment Analyst in @BusinessInsider via @jennifer_sor

Can you have a bull market without the financial sector?
Well, financials are finally coming to life.
$XLF just hit its highest level since early February, giving the rally some much-needed breadth beyond AI, semis and mega-cap tech.
Banks waking up could be a big deal.
“It’s clear that Chair Warsh plans to run the Fed differently than what Wall Street has grown used to over the past eight years (under Jerome Powell)...Investors will adapt, but there may be some growing pains along the way.” @BretKenwell US Investment Analyst in @CNN via @johntowfighi

$BTC is trying to stabilize after getting smacked around by macro, ETF flows and risk-off headlines.
Can Bitcoin hold support and rebuild momentum, or was the bounce just another, lower high?
Crypto needs $BTC to stop wobbling first. For now, it’s stuck between the 200-DAY and the 200-WEEK moving averages.
The Fed may not hike this week, but the bigger story is Kevin Warsh’s first major appearance as incoming Fed Chair.
Stocks are near highs, jobs still look solid, and inflation is reaccelerating.
The market has gone from “how many cuts?” to “how many hikes?”
That’s a huge narrative shift for $SPY, $QQQ and $TLT.
Good news is…bad news?
Markets have been volatile since May’s strong jobs report.
With a solid labor market, that leaves the Fed to focus on one thing: Cooling off hot inflation.
How will they do it? One way is to raise interest rates.
Wall Street loves a strong economy right up until it means higher rates, for a longer time.
“In a matter of months, the narrative has shifted from ‘how many rate cuts this year?’ to ‘how many rate hikes are on the table?’....That’s a big swing, and it puts Warsh in a difficult spot: He can acknowledge the recent pullback in oil prices and sound patient, but he can’t afford to look complacent if broader inflation pressures are moving the wrong way.” @BretKenwell US Investment Analyst in @Bloomberg@business.
