The weirdest part of this AI unwind is that the Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 50, dead neutral, while semiconductor stocks are getting marked down like the growth story just expired.
That's the trap most of us walk into. You see red on the equity side and either dump your crypto AI bags in a panic or buy the dip because the last few years trained everyone that every dip was a gift.
When chips and AI software names sell off together, it is usually rates and positioning, not a discovery that GPUs stopped mattering. A hotter PPI print reprices duration, and the expensive stories take the first hit. Tokens that borrowed that same story usually follow late, then overshoot, because crypto books are nowhere near as deep as the stock market.
$LINK can still be a real infrastructure bid, and $AR has an actual data storage angle, but both have traded in the shadow of the AI equity trade. If this is a discount rate problem, a nice roadmap does not protect the chart. The painful version is sizing a narrative token like it has earnings and buybacks. Parking in $USDT until the rates tape calms down is boring, and boring has been the trade that actually survives these flushes.
Anyone else reading this as a macro flush rather than the end of the AI trade?
