This week’s tech and AI rally isn’t just an earnings bounce; it’s a five-part story that ties together a Citadel hedge fund rescue, South Korea’s crackdown on leveraged ETFs, and an FOMC vote count that’s far more dovish than headlines suggest. We break down why only 3 of 9 voting members backed a hike, why that makes September far less “live” than markets feared, and why the Fed may be content to let bond yields do its tightening for it.

On the charts, we pinpoint the Nasdaq’s line in the sand and lay out whether now is the time to buy. We also explain the level at which we’d add gold exposure, the gold mining stock we favor, and how we’d finance our Nasdaq position.
