28.01.25 - What’s next?

A turbulent start into the week, marked by Nvidia's largest single-day market cap drop of nearly USD 600 billion following the DeepSeek story. This sets the stage for a pivotal week ahead, with the Fed's decision on Wednesday and a wave of key earnings reports, including those from major tech companies.

Markets: Tech sector tries to stabilize with Nasdaq Futures marginally in plus.

My View: Buy the dip? Lately it has always been a successful strategy. You can always find arguments why this time is different. However, it is not about what a single analyst or even I believe, it is about gauging the sentiment and conclusions of the broader market. Following the rebound move this morning, which looks so far rather shy, the market participants did not make their decision yet. This can change any hour though. Looking at cryptos, some speculation is already back, as I see a partial offset of yesterday’s losses.
I am following the current situation closely. Such a scenario I do not challenge, yet. Instead, I prefer to wait for clarity or an indicator showing me a clear buy signal before making a significant move back into the tech sector, especially since I am investing my own money and running a portfolio with good risk appetite already.
This week has definitely the potential for further volatility as Fed decision and earnings releases are on the agenda. And we keep president Trump in mind who also tries to take bigger influence on the interest rate decision.
