For next week, the odds for a bounce are significant, and the Support and Resistance levels for next week play an essential role for all indices. In the case of semiconductors $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ , there will be bullish momentum towards $219.4 as long as price stays above $194.7; a break below this key level could trigger a bearish move towards $176.7. For that reason a trader or investor can use as a reference $194.7 to set their stop losses according to their own risk tolerance (the exact level is not recommended since the levels can act as a bouncer as we have studied for bullish and bearish reversals).For whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:🏦 Open a CBA today and enjoy privileges of up to SGD 20,000 in trading limit with
$Microsoft(MSFT)$ appears to be stepping back on multiple data center projects both domestically and globally. (see below) At the same time, it is raising new doubts about the speed of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure development. Although MSFT still maintains that it’s still on target to invest $80 billion in capital expenditures in 2025 alone, the charge has since raised investors’ concerns. But, to say that the AI-hype is over will be a misnomer. This is because it (AI) will be next IT frontier for businesses to adopt & refine over time. Menial & repetitive tasks will, increasingly be taken over by customized AI apps, improving productivity and driving down costs of businesses drastically. Right-Sizing. Current scale back is

Credit Spreads: Credit spreads are catching up (/waking up) to equity market volatility, and may well see further upside; particularly in event of recession (remain cautious on credit spreads/risk assets).4.

Big Loss of $90M! Market Maker Scores Big as Sell Put Trader Runs for the Exit
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Let’s start with a funny story: the whale who sold 90,000 contracts of the $130 put on Wednesday ran for the exit during Thursday’s session. Currently, the open interest for $NVDA 20250411 130.0 PUT$ stands at 58 contracts.We know this whale opened their position right before Wednesday’s close, which was at the highest price of the day. However, they closed out their position on Thursday at intraday lows.As a result, the market makers made a huge profit yet again. Assuming the whale’s closing price was $25 per contract, this trade resulted in a loss of about $90 million for them. In other words, the market makers pocketed $90 million in profits.I admit, I overesti
