⚡ Today's Top Trend - 8.5 Impulse Score

Hello, my friends!

A new week means fresh impulses - and today’s session delivered one that hit hard and refused to fade.

⚡ The biggest buzz in the financial markets right now didn’t wait for the New York open. It landed hours earlier lighting up trader feeds before most of us even finished our coffee.

🤖 You know how it goes - sometimes these early headlines trigger the liquidity algos and spark a quick flush or rotation.

❌ Not today. This one stayed alive - trending straight through the morning, past lunch hour in New York, and still dominating conversation as I write this.

💪 That kind of persistence tells me it’s not just noise - because I know a lot of you are fighting the same battles I’ve fought.

I’ve laid it all out below so you can see exactly where the impulse is coming from, so make sure to read on and capture todays trend.

Wall Street continues its fears over AI's disruptive impact on jobs and software revenue continued to weigh on tech-heavy stocks like Microsoft and Tesla, driving risk-off sentiment across the session.

Market Impact Impulse Score: 8.5

Why lower than yesterdays headline score?

It's not a full-blown 10/10 crash panic. However, the fear is lingering and spreading beyond just tech: software sell-off from last week extended to broader AI-disruption concerns. This creates classic impulse traps - FOMO chases into dips that reverse, revenge entries on breakdowns, or frozen hesitation on rotations out of AI names.

Buzz & Momentum

All Nasdaq media sources echoed it as the session's dominant narrative. X chatter ties it to "AI doom loop" or "SaaS-apocalypse" fears, with posts highlighting capex skepticism and sector rotations.

Mindset Reset

I know exactly how this feels right now. One minute you're eyeing the AI upside thinking "this could be the next big leg," the next you're staring at red screens wondering if the whole story is about to implode.

That's classic revenge/impulse territory. Emotional entries that get chased, stops that get run, or frozen hesitation that turns small losers into big ones. You're not alone in this - it's hitting a ton of us today.

Name the emotion ("this is fear talking"), check your rules ("Would I take this setup if I were flat today?"), then decide. Simple and easy my friends.

While you were debating if AI would take your job, other people started using it to print money. Seriously.

That's not hyperbole. People are literally using ChatGPT to write Etsy descriptions that convert 3x better. Claude to build entire SaaS products without coding. Midjourney to create designs clients pay thousands for.
