The $NSDQ100 dropped around 2% as investors took profits on high-flyers like $PLTR (Palantir Technologies Inc.) and $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) . Despite solid earnings, sentiment is cooling, even โ€œBig Shortโ€ investor Michael Burry is reportedly betting against some AI names, adding to the caution in the sector. But he's not always right.๐Ÿ˜‰ The crypto market also weakened: $BTC briefly dipped below the key 100,000 USD level before buyers stepped back in. $ETH followed, sliding to around 3,300 USD.

If the pressure continues, I expect $RHM.DE (Rheinmetall AG) to remain relatively stable, while $MELI (MercadoLibre Inc) showed solid strength despite the broad sell-off. In our core portfolio, growth stocks naturally take a harder hit on volatile days,but they also bounce back stronger once the sentiment turns. Thatโ€™s just part of the game. โ‚ฟ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜† โ€“ ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ, ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ & ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด-๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—บ When it comes to crypto, I stick to a clear principle: โžก๏ธ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ% ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ is allocated to crypto assets long-term. โžก๏ธ Positions are reviewed at the start and end of each year, profits are taken, or losses are topped up.
