💡 FINAL THOUGHTS

Market Message: This is a SHOW ME market. Earnings matter. Execution matters. PLTR proved you can rally in a bear market if you deliver. The rotation from hype to fundamentals is real and accelerating.

Positioning: Be selectively bullish (PLTR, Energy, Rare Earth) while maintaining defensive hedges (Gold, Staples). The geopolitical risk is REAL - Iran situation could escalate rapidly.

Biggest Risk: ES breaking 6,920 + GOOGL earnings miss = tech capitulation acceleration

Biggest Opportunity: PLTR momentum + Energy geopolitical premium + Rare Earth strategic reserve theme

Crypto: Patience required. Extreme fear = potential bottom forming, but wait for reversal confirmation above $82K BTC.
