The Harder They Fall
Markets suffered a sharp, broad sell-off led by semiconductor names after weak guidance from Broadcom punctured an extended tech rally—Friday’s plunge produced the largest single-day point loss for the Nasdaq and steep declines in chip-heavy markets like South Korea and Taiwan. Stocks such as Micron and AMD, which had surged 50–80% in recent months, experienced heavy profit-taking as valuations and retail bullish options positioning looked overstretched. The rout spilled into crypto, with Bitcoin breaking below $60,000 and outflows from spot-Bitcoin ETFs amid stalled legislation and risk-off sentiment. Veteran market watchers described the move as a fast, painful correction rather than definitive evidence the long-term bull market is over, while traders hunt for new short-term plays in derivatives and prediction markets.
