Not sure if it will spark a semi con surge but I believe the semis have run up quite a bit these past few months, such that investors are skeptical as to whether the run can continue. Profit taking is on the table and fear is definitely high as these stock climbs further. So trade with caution. For long term investors, it does'nt make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ 🧠🚨📉 Nvidia’s $4T Juggernaut Faces a Crossroad 📉🚨🧠 Nvidia ($NVDA) didn’t just break records; it redefined the concept of market dominance. At a jaw-dropping $4T market cap, it now towers above Meta + Alphabet combined, surpasses both Apple and Amazon together, and overshadows the entire consumer sector with ease. But while Wall Street basks in the afterglow of its AI-fueled rally, fresh data, insider whispers, and dark pool flows suggest something more nuanced: a final euphoric push, followed by a seismic recalibration. 🔍 Setup I’m tracking an inflection zone. $NVDA closed at $172

This is a dead cat bounce, not a sustainable recovery. Everyone’s getting euphoric about TSMC’s beat, but I think we’re missing the forest for the trees: The AI chip cycle is maturing faster than expected. Yes, demand is still strong, but we’re already seeing signs that the hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, Meta) are getting more disciplined about AI capex. The “buy everything GPU-related” phase is ending. TSMC’s advanced node capacity was built for a demand level that may not sustain. China is the elephant in the room. TSMC’s Taiwan location is becoming a bigger geopolitical liability, not smaller. Any serious escalation in cross-strait tensions sends this stock into freefall. The US is also pushing harder for domestic chip production - every CHIPS Act dollar going to Intel and others is a
