Spooktober Is Here đ Hot CPI, Red Screensđ©žDo We Buy the Dip?
The market experienced a brutal selloff on Spooktober 14th, triggered by a hot CPI print of 3.7% (above the 3.6% estimate) â the highest since September 2023. This dashed hopes for a 2% inflation target and reignited rate hike fears. The S&P 500 lost $1 trillion in value, the Nasdaq fell 2%, and oil (UK Brent) surged above $106/barrel. Even gold dipped below $4,100, losing its inflation hedge status. The USD index (DXY) hit its highest since April, putting pressure on risk assets.
Key Charts & Trading SignalsMacro & Crypto
- Bitcoin: Held up better than gold. Bounced off $82,000 support and is now $220 away from reclaiming it. Weekend spikes are expected. BTC still tracking to outperform gold (current ratio 20 oz gold per BTC, target 38).
- Solana: Rejected at $118, now at $103.89. Needs Bitcoin to reclaim $82K to follow upwards to $110-118.
- Ethereum: Strong support at $2,400, resistance at $2,700. Expects a move back to the yellow line.
- Gold vs. BTC: BTC fell less than gold â reinforcing the pair trade thesis.
AI & Tech â Oversold? Buy the Dip?
- Nvidia: Clear sell signal on Oct 6th; dropped from ATH $243 to $221. Still expects $260+ by year-end. Volatility makes it ideal for selling calls at tops and buying dips.
- ALAB (Alphabet? Actually ALAB is a semi stock?) â Correction from $500 to ~$300 is a killer buy zone. Expects rebound to $500 in 1-2 quarters. Premiums for covered calls are excellent.
- Broadcom: In the kill zone at $345 (round-trip from $381). Upside to $490 greater than downside to $309.
- Marvell: Not yet in buy zone, but follows ALAB pattern.
- AMD: Buy signal triggered early, but oversold at $571. AI selloff overdone â expects rebound.
- Google: Up intraday, then fell; still on trajectory to $400 by Christmas.
- Palantir: Already doubled in 3 months to $200. Do not chase â too late.
- SK Hynix: Hit 200-day MA for first time since May 2025. Green buy signal about to flash. Expects bounce back to at least 1.6M (Korean won).
- MicroStrategy (MSTR): Dilution concerns from ATM and STRC. Net zero BTC bought this year. Prefers other names.
- STRC: 12% dividend but undercut by competitors offering 15%. Risk of selling to rotate into high-alpha names.
SpaceX & Tesla
- SpaceX: Sell signal from $176. FUD from environmental issues and unlocks. Waiting for a deeper dip (kill zone).
- Tesla: Bouncing in a box ($356-$380). Earnings on Oct 21 could be hot (FSD take rate). Expects break above $400 if results blow out. Pair trade: buy Tesla when trend blue, SpaceX when orange â currently blue (Tesla preferred).
Others
- Copper: Steady, no strong signal. For LEAPS, ticker HG1 (futures) offers best liquidity.
- CleanSpark: Kicking himself for not selling. Miners are unpopular; not buying now.
- Iris Energy & Neo Clouds: All hit support and are in the kill zone. Iris Energy should bounce from $30.
- UAC (Unusual Machines?): In the killbox at $17-18. Strong earnings beats (82% last quarter!). Expects $40 in 2-3 cycles. Upside to $25-30 in next month.
- ESC (Energy Stock?): Below $2. Advises not to double down â turds rarely recover. Focus on strong names.
The presenter believes the AI selloff is overdone and expects a rebound in the coming week. He will bring back his weekly scorecard (89% voted yes). Key catalysts: Tesla earnings, Bitcoin weekend moves, and further macro data. Reminder: this is not financial advice.
