Introduction

The Nasdaq just logged its worst week since April, wiping out over $800 billion in market value.
A sharp reversal that caught many traders off guard, but not those using MRKT.

Behind the selloff were three key forces:

• Fed uncertainty on rate cuts
• Weaker tech earnings and valuations
• Institutional capital rotation into safer assets

Let’s break down how MRKT captured these shifts before they made headlines.

What Triggered the Selloff

Powell’s latest press conference flipped sentiment.
The Fed lowered rates but signaled uncertainty about future cuts, turning more hawkish than markets expected.

MRKT’s Backtest Fundamentals instantly picked up the tone shift, flagging that caution on inflation could spark a tech correction.

Tech-Led Weakness and Valuation Stress

High valuations finally met weaker earnings.
Nasdaq giants like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla fell 3–5%, dragging the index down nearly 6%.

MRKT’s analysis showed the exact intraday catalysts as headlines about spending cuts and layoffs emerged.

What Institutions Were Watching

While retail focused on charts, institutional desks were tracking bond markets and yields.

Rising Treasury yields signaled tightening liquidity, a bearish sign for tech.
MRKT’s Fundamental Drivers dashboard had already shifted to risk-off early in the week.

MRKT Saw It Coming

The AI Sentiment Index flipped sharply bearish to 34 (Defensive Positioning).
Simultaneously, the Capital Flow Tracker showed rotation out of tech into gold and bonds, a classic flight-to-safety signal.

What Traders Should Learn from This

By the time CNBC and Bloomberg ran “Tech Selloff” headlines, MRKT users already saw the storm forming, through real-time sentiment shifts and capital flow data.

When the Fed speaks, markets reposition instantly. With MRKT, you don’t just see it, you anticipate it.

Conclusion

The Nasdaq correction wasn’t random, it was written in the fundamentals days before it happened.

With MRKT, traders gain the clarity institutions use to prepare, not react.
