AI TRADE IS SHAKEN! ???? $ORCL Miss Kills Sentiment, $NVDA Technical Breakdown $\mid$ Cruise Stocks Soar $RCL $NCLH Welcome to Trading The Close! Today’s market was a battlefield defined by the severe reaction to the post-FOMC Oracle ($ORCL) earnings report. While the Nasdaq saw an initial relief rally after the rate cut, $ORCL$ missed revenue estimates and raised concerns about the pace of its AI spending, which immediately brought negative sentiment back to the entire AI trade.

???? Technical Weakness & Sentiment Shifts: Oracle Fallout: $ORCL$'s poor revenue performance and plans for ballooning capital expenditures (Source 1.5) triggered massive selling pressure, hitting chipmakers like NVIDIA ($NVDA) and Broadcom ($AVGO). While most of the Semiconductors ($SMH) recovered by the end of the day, the AI bellwether $NVDA$ is still showing significant weakness. We provide a crucial technical analysis on $NVDA$'s chart to determine its key support levels and whether the AI story is truly breaking down (Source 4.1).

Robinhood's Plunge: Robinhood ($HOOD) dropped over 9% today following its monthly operating data report. The plunge was driven by a 37% drop in equity trading volume and the removal of approximately 280,000 low-balance, inactive accounts (Source 2.1). We analyze the chart to see if the stock can defend its recent uptrend despite the clear signs of reduced retail engagement. Silver Profit-Taking: Silver made new all-time highs again today, but for the first time in several sessions, it is finally showing clear signs of intraday profit-taking. We break down the technical implications of this topping tail and discuss the potential for a spillover pullback into tomorrow's session.

???? Cruise Stocks Surge on Corporate Strength Defying the tech negativity, the cruise sector surged on strong corporate news: Royal Caribbean ($RCL) Buyback: $RCL$ announced a massive $2 billion stock buyback program, citing its solid financial health and focus on shareholder value, having already repurchased $1 billion since July 2024 (Source 3.1).Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings ($NCLH): $NCLH$ received a significant boost from the announcement of a new President, giving investors confidence in the company's path forward (Source 3.2). We provide technical analysis on both $RCL$ and $NCLH$ to see if these fundamentals can fuel a sustained breakout.
