Momentum Monday – We Have Been Deepseeked. What Does It Mean?

As a reminder, MarketSurge (by Investor’s Business Daily) is now a sponsor of the weekly show. All the charts you have been seeing in the videos and will continue to see are from MarketSurge. They are offering my readers 2 months for $59.95 – save $239. That’s 80% off the most powerful stock research platform for individual investors.

Happy Monday…

The market was Deepseeked this weekend and you will see it in big declines in many semiconductor and tech stocks. Apple will likely sidestep – at least it has so far – the first wave down as they never went crazy spending on $NVDA chips and love having opoen source models to run rather than paying up the venture backed monsters. Probably relatively OK for Google too as they own their apps which runs their Gemini AI.

One sector Ivanhoff and I were touring was alternative energy and this morning they are getting hammered and I’m sure it’s related to the fact that maybe we need less power if an open source LLM is now the favorite for machines. Anyways, the tickers we covered today $NNE $CEG $OKLO $NNE seem interesting to me as trend stocks but for now I am watching.

I doubt this really affects $NVDA long term but the media will be breathless all week so expect much volatility.

Note all this drama is coming while the S&P and The Nasdaq 100 are at all-time highs so expect lot’s of volatility.

The show is below:

Also – hats off to our Stocktwits.com friend Larry who is one of many of course that does the work…day in and day out going therough the indexes and the charts and the patterns to try and stay one step ahead of the machines and the rest of the world chasing alpha. We really like this new thing he is doing called ‘chart bonanza’. Geek out. I did.

Here are Ivanhoff’s thoughts:

SPY recovered to new all-time highs as rates and the US Dollar pulled back in the last couple of weeks. Bitcoin is building a new base near its all-time highs. Most megacaps stocks are off to another strong start of the New Year. META, AMZN, and GOOGL made new all-time highs. 

AI remains the hottest trading theme. The obvious plays like NVDA, ARM, AVGO, and MRVL have done well but their performance pales compared to energy-related plays like VST, CEG, GEV, OKLO, etc. The AI group is a bit extended. A normal pullback or consolidation through time would be normal.

In the meantime, Chinese stocks are also perking up. Trump hasn’t raised tariffs yet and the market is reading it as a potential opportunity for a constructive dialogue. Owning China comes with a big headline risk. There are plenty of other stocks to consider.

The next FOMC meeting is around the corner. It usually brings extra volatility. It caused a significant selloff in December, so the market might pull back in anticipation of another rug pull. If this happens, it will likely create better risk/reward entry points for longs.


And here are the charts discussed:
