Macro Level The market continues to speculate on the Fed's policy path, with expectations for rate cuts still fluctuating. Inflation hasn't worsened further, but stickiness remains, leading to overall cautious capital. This also results in the index level being dominated by volatility rather than trending upward. 2\. Geopolitics The Middle East situation has eased in the short term, and energy prices haven't continued to surge, which is a marginal positive for the market. However, this positive is more about "relieving pressure" than "driving gains," with limited boost to the index. 3\. U.S. Stock Market Structure It remains a structural market: Tech stocks support the index, but internal divergence has begun. Once high-priced stocks fail to meet expectations, the pullback is swift. Capital is clearly rotating from high to low. The index appears stable, but making money is getting harder. 4\. Cryptocurrency Sector The crypto market remains highly linked to U.S. stocks, with the core focus on changes in liquidity expectations. Short-term logic: Delayed rate cut expectations → Crypto under pressure Increased risk appetite → Crypto rebounds Currently following the volatility, with no independent trend; essentially an amplified version of risk assets. 5\. Today's Market Outlook and Trading Strategy Overall assessment: Volatile and weak Possible rhythm: Morning volatility or slight rally Followed by pressure and pullback Increased volatility in the afternoon Trading suggestions: Short-term: Continue range trading, mainly selling high and buying low Conservative: Control position size, wait for direction confirmation Aggressive: Can trade intraday swings, but must strictly stop loss Avoid: Chasing rallies and selling panics Heavy positions gambling on direction 6\.
