Wall Street's fear gauge posts sharpest jump since 'Liberation Day'

A sharp jump in Wall Street's fear gauge signals a deterioration in risk appetite, and large technology stocks such as GOOGL generally come under pressure during such risk-aversion periods. The price is already trading below the SMA20 and SMA50, indicating that the short-term trend is weak. The RSI is at 43, in neutral-to-weak territory, and the MACD is in negative territory but above its signal line, meaning momentum is not fully broken. Therefore, although the bias is downward, I maintain moderate confidence; the news impact may be limited and volatile. I expect downward pressure over a 1-3 day horizon but do not foresee a sharp sell-off.

NVDA fell sharply by more than 11% in 24 hours to 183.5, with its RSI14 at 17.8, placing it in oversold territory. MACD is negative and below the signal line, and the price is clearly below SMA20 and SMA50; the short-term trend is weak. A sharp jump in Wall Street's fear gauge signals deteriorating risk appetite, and high-beta semiconductor stocks may remain under pressure in this environment. Although oversold conditions set the stage for relief buying, the news flow is increasing downside risk in the short term; I therefore forecast a cautious negative bias.

AMD fell sharply by 14.7% in 24 hours to 417.4; with an RSI of 26.9 it is in oversold territory and clearly below the MACD signal line. The price is below the SMA20 (472) and SMA50 (512), and the short-term trend is weak. A sharp jump in Wall Street's fear gauge signals deteriorating risk appetite and could put pressure on high-beta semiconductor stocks. Although oversold conditions may prompt rebound buying, the 1-3 day outlook retains downside risk; volatility is high.

A broad decline is weighing on markets as Wall Street's fear gauge has shown a significant increase. TSM's price is below both its 20-day and 50-day SMAs, and the MACD is below its signal line, giving a short-term bearish signal. The RSI is at 15.9, in oversold territory, but this could create short-term recovery potential. A correction toward the SMA levels is likely within 1-3 days. Nevertheless, a clear recovery is not expected due to the overall risk sentiment in the technology sector.
