The market fell slightly, while tech stocks flew after Nvidia said it would be able to sell H20 chips in China again, taking back potentially $15B in revenue, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
It’s a sign the betting chips are coming home after harsh negotiations between the U.S. and China, at least according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

STOCKTWITS RETAIL RADAR
Small-Caps Succumb To Souring Sentiment ($IWM) 🛑
Last Friday, we showcased Stocktwits Sentiment and Message Volume data that suggested retail’s enthusiasm toward small-cap stocks was waning. Now that prices are starting to turn lower, let’s see how retail is positioning itself. 👇️
In mid-June, $IWM sentiment peaked and signaled a divergence after failing to reach new highs alongside prices. Last week, sentiment pushed firmly into ‘Bearish’ territory, suggesting retail expected a pullback after this record run.
With today’s move lower, sentiment touched its most bearish level since April, but message volume remains subdued. This could signal that more downside is needed to reach “peak fear” levels. 😬
When combining this with the technicals, Russell 2000 futures are pulling back from a key area of support/resistance near 2,300. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirmed a divergence, and today’s fall was the largest since May. 🧐
The long-term trend remains intact for investors, but retail is positioning for a ‘pause that refreshes’ after a record run. We’ve shifted from an environment where broad-based index exposure dominated to one where retail participants are becoming more selective in the stocks they’re playing. At least for the short term.
