Gotta respect the market's sense of humor here. All year the prominent voices were hammering the same thesis—keep loading up Amazon and software, semiconductors are washed. Felt inevitable, right?
Then January hits and boom—multi-standard-deviation swing in the exact opposite direction. The market literally said 'thanks for the heads up' and did the inverse.
One day doesn't define a trend, obviously. But there's something darkly amusing about it. The consensus gets crowded, then you get these violent reversals that leave everyone scrambling. That's just how it works sometimes.

ngl That's why following the trend always dies the fastest; the market loves playing the game of contrarian moves.
Consensus is often the signal of a reversal at its peak; it's incredible.
Last year, I kept saying chips had no prospects, and then in January, I slapped you with reality. That feeling is really satisfying.

This reversal in the market is a textbook-level social death scene. Where are those who have been bearish on chips all year?

ngl This is the market messing with us. A bunch of people are shouting every day to buy Amazon software, semiconductor is doomed, and then in January it suddenly reverses and hits hard. LOL

ngl that's why those who follow the trend always end up losing out; the fuller the consensus, the more dangerous it is.

A typical consensus trap, the reverse operation at the beginning of the year directly trapped all-in software users.
