The market continues to test fresh highs, but not without friction. Broad indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are knocking on record doors, yet underneath the surface, cracks are starting to show.

Corporate earnings tell a mixed story. Financial heavyweights and transport sector players just released results that have traders reassessing valuations at current levels. Meanwhile, software and tech names took a sharp hit this week, signaling potential sector rotation as investors become more selective about which winners justify their premium multiples.

On the macro front, the U.S. government made a notable move, taking a strategic position in a major defense contractor. This signals confidence in specific sectors while raising questions about broader market positioning—is capital flowing where fundamentals support it, or are we riding momentum into stretched territory?

The key question traders are asking now: Can quarterly results and strategic moves anchor this rally, or are we seeing a classic blow-off top scenario playing out? When indices sit at all-time highs, earnings delivery becomes everything.

The surface looks glamorous but there are undercurrents. Can this rebound hold? Feels like we're nearing the top --- Tech stocks got hit again, now it's financials and transportation taking the spotlight. That's rotation, right? --- The government is bottom-fishing defense stocks, really clever... So should retail investors follow or not? --- All-time high, the biggest fear is underperformance. How hard will it fall if that happens? --- I knew the trend had shifted the day software stocks plummeted. I should have reduced my holdings earlier --- After all this hype, finally someone asks if the bubble is deflating. I've felt it was虚了 for a while --- Can the fundamentals still support this? Or is it just hype? Honestly, I'm a bit anxious --- Financials and transportation are holding up, but how did the tech giant suddenly falter? --- Now it's all about whether the quarterly reports can save the market, or it's really over --- The defense contract signal... What is the US government hinting at? Large orders coming?

Oh no, this market trend is really unsustainable. Beneath the shiny surface, it's all holes. Can we focus on making solid money instead of hyping up so much? Tech stocks got hammered again. I just want to know how long the rebound in defense and transportation stocks can last. The government's involvement in defense—feels like the policy direction has shifted again... Are funds truly following the fundamentals or just blowing bubbles? The sound of bursting bubbles is especially crisp right now, with no support at the bottom. Earnings season is hanging like this—really boring. Just waiting to see who crashes.

The recent plunge in tech stocks is indeed a bit frightening. It feels like overvalued companies are being ruthlessly harvested. To be honest, there are now signals of a bubble everywhere. I think this high-level rally will eventually need to adjust. Funds are rotating, and smart money has already seen the problem. It's ridiculous that retail investors are still bottom-fishing. Government intervention in defensive stocks is also useless. If a crash really happens, nothing can stop it. Buying stocks at all-time highs is always an IQ tax. A lesson from history, brother. This time is different from usual. The fundamentals can no longer support this price. Just watch.

It seems that tech stocks are starting to take a hit again, which is really a bit outrageous... But it seems like the financial and transportation sectors are still holding up? It feels like this round is just to wipe out those with absurd valuations. The government directly scooping up defense stocks is quite aggressive, not sure if retail investors should buy the dip now or continue to wait and see...

Surface high levels, can see through the underlying data... Behind the plunge of those tech stocks, where is the capital flowing to? Has anyone paid attention to on-chain footprints?

Tech stocks are getting hammered again; it seems this rebound isn't that simple... The hype will eventually burst.
