Chip Stock Liquidations, JPMorgan's Ethereum Pivot, and the Earnings-Yields Showdown

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Welcome to Stock Market Today, your market briefing with actionable insights on stocks, bonds, crypto, and the events moving markets. Let's get into it. Futures are green, NASDAQ 100 futures up over 1%, S&P 500 futures up half a percent, snapping last week's 5.5% tech selloff. The catalyst, China's Q3 GDP printed 4.5%, beating estimates and retail sales there more than doubled forecasts. Asian equities ripped, NIC up near 2%, COSPI recovering after last week's route. But here's your real signal. While markets were closed this weekend, $52 million in leveraged crypto bets tracking chip stocks got force liquidated in a 10-minute window.

SOXL, Sandisk, SK Hynix Contracts, with no reference price to anchor them. That's thin liquidity chaos previewing Monday's open.

Watch chipmaker ETFs. Futures already up 3% pre-market.

Bitcoin's holding $82,500, bouncing off Sunday's dip near $80,700. Briefly tagged $83,000. Pulled back. $84 is your resistance line. Break it, and the tech rebound is pulling crypto with it. Strategy ticker MSTR is flashing a golden cross today, same signal Bitcoin gave back in September.

On the institutional side, JPMorgan's pushing JPM Coin onto Ethereum, expanding beyond base. Big validation for Ethereum's liquidity rails.

Goldman, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley all frame tokenization as growth, not disruption on their earnings calls. The bigger tension this week. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson says the S&P's headline strength is masking stock level damage already in correction territory. A hidden pullback. Tesla and MetaEarnings Wednesday test that thesis directly against rising bond yields. Bottom line, earning strength versus yield pressure. That's your tape this week. As they say on this floor, markets don't care if you're ready for the weather. They change it while you're still checking the forecast. That wraps your market intel. Trade smart out there.
