Looking ahead, the US midterms could bring another bout of volatility as policy uncertainty and shifting market expectations weigh on sentiment. I’m prepared for some near-term turbulence and would consider adding to my VOO position if we see a deeper pullback. I’m also looking at the S&P 500 equal-weight ETF as a way to diversify beyond the mega-cap names and gain broader exposure across the market.

VOO fell more than 1% today as an AI-led selloff dragged down broader market sentiment. Investors are increasingly questioning whether the hyperscalers’ massive AI spending will generate returns quickly enough to justify the investment. While the near-term pressure could persist, I’m not too concerned about the longer-term AI story. In fact, further weakness would be an opportunity for me to add to my VOO position and accumulate at better levels.

VOO barely in the green today, with investors likely staying cautious ahead of the Fed’s rate decision and earnings from Alphabet and Microsoft after the close. Both are key tests for the AI trade, as the market looks for evidence that heavy AI spending is translating into returns. I’m keeping a close eye on how Big Tech earnings shape broader market sentiment before deciding my next move

VOO is looking good as oil prices ease and broader market sentiment improves. Lower oil prices could help take some pressure off inflation expectations and bond yields, giving equities room to move higher. I’m staying invested and continuing to build my position, although I’ll be watching whether the pullback in oil is sustained before getting too optimistic. For now, the improving backdrop is encouraging for my long-term S&P 500 exposure.

The AI trade is gaining ground again, with reports of Anthropic preparing for an IPO adding to optimism and lifting the S&P 500, and of course, VOO. The listing puts the spotlight back on AI’s commercial potential, although investors still need to see whether massive spending can translate into sustainable returns. I’m continuing to build my position for the long term, while watching this week’s mega-cap earnings for confirmation that the AI rally has more room to run.
$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)
Context: VOO ended the week lower, but I’m still focused on building long-term exposure to the S&P 500. I’ve only just started my investment journey, so these pullbacks are an opportunity to think about how aggressively I want to build my position.
My trade: Holding my existing shares and considering a lump-sum addition if the S&P 500 approaches its 200-day moving average.
Takeaway: I’m starting small, but willing to deploy more capital if the market offers a more attractive entry.
$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)
Context: The S&P 500’s 7,600 level is a key support to watch, coinciding with the 100-day moving average. I’m keeping an eye on whether the index can hold this level or if further downside is coming.
My trade: Using VOO as my S&P 500 proxy, I’ve started accumulating and may add more if the index breaks below support.
Takeaway: I’ll continue my monthly DCA, with deeper pullbacks offering opportunities to average down.

My trade: Bought today and plan to continue accumulating through monthly dollar-cost averaging (DCA), regardless of short-term market swings.
Takeaway: I’ll aim to make this a monthly habit, building my position steadily rather than trying to time the market.
