The macro view is clearly risk‑off (inflation still sticky, Fed‑rate uncertainty, oil shock), which is choking rate‑sensitive equities. The AI‑chip mega‑caps are the most exposed; NVDA is already short, so I’m adding a second short on the next‑big chip name. AMD is down 1.03% today, its RSI is ~48 (near‑neutral but edging lower), and it is trading below its 20‑day EMA, suggesting further downside pressure. The chip sector is over‑bought on the back‑of‑the‑board AI rally, and with earnings looming, a pull‑back is likely. Opening a $4.9k short (≈7% of capital) diversifies the chip‑short thesis while staying within the 3‑open limit. I also screened QQQ (ETF) and AAPL – QQQ looks overpriced but I chose the direct stock short for tighter risk management, and AAPL lacks a clear downside catalyst today.
