Gianni Di Poce just flagged something that stopped me in my tracks. Fund managers dumped stocks last week at one of the fastest rates in history.

Yet Bitcoin and Ethereum have held firm through the entire selloff.

That disconnect matters. Gianni’s read is straightforward: if crypto were getting hammered alongside equities, we’d be in a genuine risk off environment. Crypto rallying during turbulent conditions signals the selloff may not be as severe as the headlines suggest.

Stocks are bid again today after Monday’s strong session. The Nasdaq is leading, the Russell 2000 is up the most, and semiconductors continue outperforming the broader market. That last point is a risk on signal Gianni has been tracking closely.

But there is a problem lurking beneath the surface. Crude oil is calling the shots.

Gianni showed that the VIX is trading nearly in lockstep with oil prices. Rising oil is fuel for bears, and with the Iran conflict escalating, that pressure is not going away soon.

The Fed meets tomorrow. No rate cut is coming. Gianni is focused on the rhetoric, specifically whether Powell will acknowledge the stress building in private credit markets.

That stress matters because of the historical parallel. The 2023 regional banking crisis hit right around this same time of year. The Fed stepped in with backdoor interventions, and that turned out to be a fantastic time to buy stocks. Gianni raised the possibility that this private credit crunch could set up the same way.

Here is what Gianni covered in tonight’s video:

  • Financials are seeing massive outflows as the second largest sector in the market behind technology. That rotation is creating serious headwinds for the indices.
  • The S&P 500 has closed near the lows of its daily range for four consecutive sessions. Gianni flagged that as unhealthy price action heading into a Fed decision.
  • Circle Internet Group, a major stablecoin issuer, just hit Gianni’s upside target at $128. He locked in a 33% gain on the first half of the position through Trinity Trades.
  • The day after Fed day matters more than Fed day itself. Gianni expects the dollar to pull back post-meeting, which could provide a tailwind for precious metals and risk assets.

Gianni also laid out his long term thesis: the Nasdaq could rally as high as 100,000 over the next few years as the second wave of AI plays out. The noise right now is masking an abundance of opportunities at the individual stock level.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
