Looking at recent market trends, the manipulation tactics in the US stock market are indeed clever—out of the top 8 companies by market cap, only 3 are rising, while the others are probing downward for a bottom. Yet, the Nasdaq index was forcibly pushed higher. What does this situation indicate? It shows that the money in the market is being attracted to just a few leading stocks.

What’s more heartbreaking is that at least 5 of the so-called "Big Seven" are significantly down, with little safety margin to speak of. This structural fragility means that once a sudden break or black swan event occurs, the entire sector could plunge directly. Instead of taking this risk, it’s better to look at other markets—commodities, certain undervalued markets—where even a quick glance can reveal more stable growth targets.

Speaking of which, the US stock market now resembles a balloon pushed to its limit. Can one company's valuation acquire the entire Europe? Can a company's market cap match a country's GDP? This mismatched pricing logic will eventually be corrected by the market. When that happens, the era of storytelling and burning cash to survive will be exposed.

Compared to chasing high-tech stocks, many traders are shifting their focus to hardware, storage, and energy sectors—areas with tangible cash flow support. The awakening of risk awareness may be the lesson this adjustment is trying to teach us.

Seven giants, five down, the Nasdaq is still rallying, this logic is a bit crazy. --- The balloon has been blown to the limit, it will be popped sooner or later. --- Instead of betting on black swans, it's better to go now and pick up bargains in commodities. --- Hard assets are the real deal; the era of storytelling should come to an end. --- Five out of the top eight have fallen, but the Nasdaq is still rising? This market really knows how to pair up. --- A company's market value equals a country's GDP; this pricing logic will eventually collapse. --- The structural risk in the US stock market looks terrifying; it's really time for rotation. --- All the money has been pulled into the top players; the middle sectors are already dead. --- Safety margin? There's no such thing among the seven giants, don't laugh. --- Traders switching from tech stocks to hard assets are the smart ones; I look up to them. --- Valuation valleys are the real gold mines; anyone who touches this bubble in the US stock market will be unlucky.

The big seven are really in a bit of a bind this time. All the money is piled into those few, and in the end, it's still these things that retail investors end up holding the bag for.

Quantitative models have triggered alarms, the seven giants can't hold up, and the NASDAQ is relying on blood transfusions to survive. This situation is like a 2017 remake, but the structural fragility is even more outrageous... According to historical data, such highly concentrated capital accumulation often signals a reverse tug-of-war. I have already cut my heavy tech holdings in half and shifted to energy and commodities for T, at least the cash flow is visible. Has the window for shorting US tech stocks really opened? Or is it just another guise for harvesting chives... With such obvious valuation bubbles, why are institutions still pouring money in? Where is the rational pricing they promised? From a macro cycle perspective, it's now just waiting for black swans. Instead of chasing highs, it's better to hold cash; opportunities will always come. By the way, those who are truly making money now are hiding in commodities. Who's still chasing those storytelling tech stocks... If you're still willing to jump in with such a technical setup, you're either a chive or a gambler. I choose neither.

The seven giants are all plunging, yet they still force the Nasdaq up, which is ridiculous... Money is flowing into just a few top players, and a black swan could explode at any moment. --- The US stock market bubble is inflated too much; it’s bound to burst sooner or later. Instead of gambling, it’s better to shift to hard assets. --- That storytelling approach is damn tired; it’s time to focus on cash flow and actual performance. --- Structural fragility is so obvious, and some still dare to go all-in on big tech? Truly brave. --- Five declines and still forcing the index up—this tactic is brilliant... but it can’t hide the hollowing out. --- Valuation logic is completely distorted; maybe it’s more stable to look at commodities from a different perspective. --- It might be a bit late to realize risk awareness now; it should have been shifted to assets with cash flow earlier.

The Nasdaq being artificially pushed up is just a joke; the real money has long gone to the big seven giants, and retail investors are still sleepwalking.

The big seven's routine has long been tired of; it's just funds banding together for warmth, and they'll break up sooner or later.
