$BE Up 2,318% in 700 Days, Now Comes the Critical Test
$Bloom Energy Corp(BE)$ is up over 2,318% in the 700 days since its bull cycle started back in November 2024. Now it’s trading in an extremely important zone. Here’s what I’m seeing. 📈 The Cycle The cycle could be coming to an end. The monthly BX Trender is flipping from green to red. But there are two things to note. First, the monthly BX Trender hasn’t closed for October yet. We still have a couple of weeks left. Second, and more importantly, earnings are coming up, and that will obviously move the stock. A good report could flip the monthly BX back to green and keep the cycle going. So technically this is still bullish, just leaning more toward a potential end of the cycle. Nothing’s confirmed yet. Structure Structure matters more than the cycle

October Dips and Midterm Years: The 2026 Buy-the-Dip Playbook for the S&P 500
Everyone wants to buy the dip until it’s time to buy the dip 🤔 October hands traders a dip almost every year. So do midterm years. In 2026 they land on the same calendar, and some of the most valuable companies on Earth are trading well off their highs THE CRASHES 1929: Dow -12.8% on Oct 28, then -11.7% the next day 1987: Dow -22.6% on Black Monday, still its worst day ever 2008: S&P -16.9% for the month as the Lehman fallout spread A speculative bubble, a market-structure meltdown, a credit crisis.

UBS Sees AI Infrastructure Demand Accelerating in 2027: 3 Stocks to Watch
AI investment has largely been associated with chipmakers and software companies. But as data center developers expand capacity, another group of businesses could benefit: the industrial equipment manufacturers and engineering firms supplying the infrastructure behind the AI boom. $UBS Group AG(UBS)$ expects demand for AI infrastructure to accelerate in 2027, even as supply-chain constraints persist. In an October 16 research report, analyst Steven Fisher said industry experts attending Data Center World Expo in Singapore reported accelerating orders, rising multiyear capacity reservations and confidence that investment would continue beyond 2027. The outlook puts three U.S.-listed companies in focus:

📉 $CRWV Has Fallen Over 50% From Its May Highs. Is the Market Getting It Wrong?
A stock can fall sharply even when its underlying business opportunity remains intact. But when a company relies heavily on borrowing to fund its growth, investors have an additional question to consider: Will the returns from its investments be enough to cover the cost of financing them? That’s the debate surrounding $CRWV (CoreWeave), the specialised cloud computing provider serving the growing demand for AI workloads. According to a recent Dow Jones report, CoreWeave shares have fallen more than 50% from their May highs. Last week’s hotter-than-expected inflation data added to concerns that interest rates could remain elevated, increasing the cost of borrowing for capital-intensive businesses. Yet Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges believes the market may be underestimating the poten
10/20 Strategy Preview | AI Is Running Hot — Who's Hedging a Crash?
① What Happened Today Semiconductors got sold off. AI compute demand is strong, but delivery and financing risks are rising. Semis under pressure: Korea's KOSPI fell 3.73%, Samsung dropped 3%, and SK Hynix fell 4%. US semis were down about 2% premarket. Neocloud names NBIS and CRWV fell 5% and 4%. Weak Asian tech dragged on market mood. NVDA: Chinese companies reportedly ordered over 3 million export-compliant RTX PRO 5500 GPUs, worth over $35 billion at list price. But Nvidia reportedly may only be able to supply 5%–10% of the orders. Strong demand doesn't mean revenue shows up right away — supply is the key. AI compute expansion: Anthropic is in talks with Nscale for a new compute deal worth about $45 billion. OpenAI is speeding up a $30 billion funding round. AI demand is still hot, but
The Great NeoCloud Bifurcation: Decoding Goldman Sachs' Upgrade of CoreWeave (CRWV) and Tiering Dynamics
$Goldman Sachs(GS)$ Goldman Sachs' upgrade of $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ from Neutral to BUY with a $106 price target—following a severe 43% pull-back from August peak levels—marks a pivotal structural turning point in the specialized AI infrastructure sector. In this article, we would like to examine how we can decode the operational and financial mechanisms driving the widening NeoCloud Split, providing institutional investors with a clear thesis on tiering behavior and long-term risk management. 1. The Catalyst: Decoding the Goldman Upgrade When Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges upgraded CoreWeave (CRWV) to Buy in October 2026, it signaled that Wall Street is moving past knee-jerk panic over near-term b
$Y92 (G92.SI) Technical Watch: Range Setup Holds as Momentum Builds Toward a Decisive Move
📊 Market Recap As of the latest U.S. Eastern Time session, 'Y92' (G92.SI) continues to trade within a narrow consolidation range, reflecting balanced sentiment between buyers and sellers. Price action remains close to recent pivot levels, while distance from the 52-week high stays modest, indicating that the stock has not yet entered an extended breakout phase. The dominant theme is range-bound behavior with building momentum, rather than a confirmed directional trend. 🚀 Key Drivers Regional Sentiment Shift: Broader Singapore and regional equity flows showed mixed risk appetite, with selective buying interest in small to mid-cap names supporting 'Y92' at key technical levels. Sector Rotation Signal: Capital rotation within technology-adjacent and industrial names has kept 'Y92' in focus, a
Have We Caught the Bottom? After-Hours Tech Is Saying “Maybe”
The recent tech correction has been brutal. Memory stocks were crushed, high-beta AI names sold off, inflation revived higher-for-longer fears, and investors started questioning whether massive AI capex could actually generate equally massive returns. Then something changed. Semiconductors finally attracted buyers again, and some tech names spiked after hours following strong earnings. I do not think that proves the bottom is in. But it may be telling us which stocks the market wants to own if the correction is ending. 🟢 AFTER HOURS GAVE US A CLUE The important development is not simply that tech bounced. It is why certain stocks bounced while others did not. Companies showing strong AI-related revenue and credible earnings are being rewarded. Companies disappointing on forward expectation
