LONGER-TERM VIEW: Some analysts calling for $40K-70K in 2026 based on historical 70-80% drawdowns from ATH. Bitcoin showing classic risk-off behavior, correlating with tech stocks rather than acting as "digital gold."

Ethereum ($ETH)

🎯 OVERALL TRADING STRATEGY FOR FEBRUARY 3, 2026

Market Theme: "Rotation from Commodities to Technology"

The violent selloff in precious metals (gold/silver) and crypto (Bitcoin) has created a portfolio rebalancing event. Capital is flowing INTO:

1. AI/Tech earnings winners (PLTR, TER leading)

2. Industrials (CAT, infrastructure plays)

3. Financials (benefiting from rate stability)

And OUT OF:

1. Precious metals (despite bounce, structural headwinds)

2. Crypto (risk-off, liquidation overhang)

3. Energy (demand concerns)

HIGH-CONVICTION PLAYS TODAY:

TIER 1 (Highest Confidence):

1. $PLTR (Palantir): Momentum continuation from earnings beat

2. $TER (Teradyne): AI robotics/semiconductor test equipment demand

3. Semiconductor sector sympathy: $KLAC, $AMAT if they follow $TER

TIER 2 (Strong Setups): 4. $SOFI: JPM upgrade catalyst 5. GLD/GLD/ GLD/SLV : Bounce play for aggressive traders (HIGH RISK) 6. $AMD: Earnings play (requires beat + guidance)

TIER 3 (Speculative): 7. $PYPL: Contrarian play if beats (Cathie sold, stock at lows) 8. Space/Aerospace sympathy: On SpaceX-xAI merger news

RISK MANAGEMENT:

• Position Sizing: No more than 3-5% per trade given volatility

• Stop Losses: MANDATORY on all trades—metals/crypto especially volatile

• Diversification: Don't chase everything—pick 2-3 setups max

• Cash Reserve: Keep 30-40% dry powder for pullbacks/new setups

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS: THE DCG COMMAND CENTER PERSPECTIVE

What Changed Overnight?

1. Precious metals found a floor after historic liquidation—but rally is technical, not fundamental

2. Tech earnings momentum is ACCELERATING—$PLTR and $TER proving AI capex cycle is real

3. Global markets in risk-on mode—Asia hitting records, Europe recovering

4. Bitcoin stabilizing but remains fragile—needs $80K reclaim for confidence

5. Rate path uncertainty with Warsh nomination—hawkish tilt is headwind for growth stocks long-term

The Trade:

This is an "Earnings-Driven Tech Rally" overlaid with "Commodity Volatility Bounce". The smart money is:

• Buying the AI infrastructure stocks that are PROVING revenue/earnings (PLTR, TER)

• Fading the precious metals bounce (it's technical, not a reversal)

• Waiting on Bitcoin—needs to reclaim $80K to confirm bottom

The Risk:

• AMD earnings could move entire tech sector (tonight after close)

• Friday's NFP could reset everything if labor market cracks

• Metals volatility could re-ignite with any new Warsh Fed comments

Monday's Money Flow:

FROM: Gold (-5% before bounce), Silver (-10% before bounce), Bitcoin (-5% at lows) TO: Industrials (+CAT +5%), Tech (+AAPL +4%, MU +5.5%), Financials (broad strength)

📱 MASTERMIND & SOCIAL INSIGHTS

Key Sentiment from Trading Community:

@WallStJesus Highlights:

• "COMING UP…" with focus on tech earnings

• Highlighting $PLTR, $INTC, $TER, $SOFI momentum

• "Shares of Space Companies up Premarket After SpaceX Acquires xAI in Record-Setting Deal"

@KobeissiLetter Alert:

• "$PLTR +10% best among the global megacaps"

• "Japan's raging bull market continues.. Nikkei record high"

• "Europe STOXX 600 also at a record this morning"

Key Themes from Community:

1. Tech earnings euphoria replacing metals panic

2. Global equities participation (not just US)

3. Sympathy play hunting (if PLTR works, what else in data/AI space?)

🚀 TRUMP MOMENTUM TRADES & POLITICAL EDGE

"America First" Portfolio Positioning:

Direct Government Stakes (discussed above):

• $INTC, $MP, $LAC = strategic assets with government backing

Space Industrialization:

• SpaceX-xAI merger = validation of space infrastructure theme

• Watch: Satellite communications, launch services, space manufacturing SPACs

Rare Earth/Critical Minerals:

• $12B strategic stockpile = government buying program

• USA Rare Earth 10% government stake

• MP Materials rare earth supply chain

Defense Modernization:

• AI integration in defense systems

• Palantir ($PLTR) = massive government contractor

• Watch: AI-powered defense tech, autonomous systems

Reshoring/Domestic Manufacturing:

• Infrastructure spending, CHIPS Act funding

• Semiconductor fabs, battery production, critical supply chains

Deregulation Beneficiaries:

• Banks/financials (looser regulations under Trump)

• Energy (drilling permits, pipeline approvals)

• Crypto (potential pro-crypto SEC leadership)

Trade War Updates:

• ✅ India tariffs CUT (18% from 25%) = positive for trade

• ✅ US-China tensions easing (Nov 2025 1-year agreement holding)

• ⚠️ Europe under scrutiny (Greenland issues, but framework emerging)

Bottom Line: The "Trump Portfolio" theme is evolving from tariffs/isolationism to strategic equity stakes and industrial policy. This is a new paradigm—the White House as an active investor/shareholder in key industries.
