๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿป $SNDK $MU - Momentum Exhaustion

J
Feb 2, 2026 ยท 03:53

**TL;DR:**

MU (Micron) and SNDK (SanDisk) have been on a parabolic AI-fueled rocket ride, but the last three days scream exhaustion: massive reversals on record volume after overbought RSI levels and stretched moving averages.

We're looking at 10-30% drawdowns short-term. Broader market chaos in silver/gold/BTC (crashes galore) and NVIDIA's inability to break out signal sector-wide pain.

Positions: MU Feb 20 26 $400 puts, SNDK Feb 20 26 $500 puts.

# Combine this: Metals/crypto volatility = de-risking = tech rotation out. AI demand real long-term, but short-term froth pops.
