🔎 Deep Dive: Gold & Banking Stress

The day is polarized: the strong safe-haven demand for Gold ($GLD) is the dominant theme, hitting new all-time highs due to persistent US regional bank stress. While European markets, specifically $BBVA.MC, show resilience and an isolated uptrend, the US futures and Italian financial stocks are struggling. The overall takeaway is a heightened sense of systemic risk, forcing investors into traditional havens while penalizing US high-beta stocks. The strength of $NVDA remains a key structural theme resisting the general decline.

🔎 Deep Dive: Markets and Crypto (Yesterday - Today)

Markets continue to show clear risk aversion, with Friday's weakness consolidating at the start of this week. The initial hope for a technical bounce quickly faded.

Equity Markets: Although price levels have reached potential support zones, there has been no significant buying pressure. Investors remain on high alert for signs of an economic slowdown, US-China tariff tensions, and geopolitical risk. Selling is widespread and not limited to a single sector. High-growth tech stocks, which led the markets for most of the year, are among the hardest hit, suggesting a significant drop in confidence.

Crypto Market: The risk-off sentiment has continued to influence digital assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum have failed to find solid support and have aligned with the weakness of the equity market. Their inability to act as a safe haven during this phase of uncertainty confirms their strong correlation with broader market sentiment, particularly with the global liquidity flow. The continued strength of the Dollar (DXY) represents additional pressure, making non-USD assets less attractive.

PS: Volatility remains very high. Despite prices having fallen to potentially interesting levels, caution is mandatory. I will continue to monitor the situation, especially the reaction of gold (GLD) and the Dollar (DXY), before considering new entries.

🔎 Deep Dive: Markets and Crypto (Friday - Today)

The period between the close on Friday, October 10th, and today's open has been characterized by an abrupt and widespread risk-off sentiment.

Equity Markets: The sell-off started aggressively in the US, where data on slowing growth and persistent inflation triggered a strong rotation out of risky assets. The SPX500 recorded a significant drop, with growth and tech stocks ($META, $NVDA) particularly hit. In Europe, this sentiment was compounded by internal weaknesses (such as banks and cyclical sectors), leading to a soft opening. Over the weekend, news of renewed US-China tariff tensions severely impacted Asia, particularly Hong Kong stocks (HK50) and Chinese giants like BABA. The only true escape valve for investors has been the run to Gold ($GLD), which confirms itself as the ultimate haven in macro crises.

Crypto Market: In this phase of risk aversion, digital assets BTC and ETH were also not spared. Historically, cryptocurrencies have shown an increasing correlation with equity risk. The Dollar's recovery (DXY) and general market weakness triggered profit-taking, forcing BTC and ETH into a technical consolidation phase below recent highs. This trend once again refutes the narrative of crypto being a total safe haven; instead, cryptocurrencies are currently moving as high-beta speculative assets, sensitive to global liquidity flows.

PS: Following the sharp sell-off in the markets on Friday and the $QBTS correction, it is crucial to remain calm and stick to support levels. If Gold ($GLD) continues its run, it might be wise to increase exposure to safe havens.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing involves risks, including the loss of capital.

🚀 Insight: $ASTS (-5.88%) (AST SpaceMobile) - The Analysis

$ASTS is an innovative satellite telecommunications company with an ambitious mission: to create the first global cellular broadband network in space, capable of connecting directly with standard mobile phones.

Why is it interesting?

Disruptive Technology: The company aims to eliminate global "shadow zones" without requiring additional user hardware. The implementation of the BlueBird network represents a potential game changer for the wireless industry.

Strategic Partnerships: Agreements with top-tier operators, such as Vodafone and Rakuten, validate its market potential.

Market Performance: The stock has recently shown ** strong upward momentum**, with significant year-on-year growth.

Analyst Sentiment (TipRanks & eToro)

The general sentiment is one of cautious optimism with a "Moderate Buy" recommendation.

• Target Price: The 12-month target is considered high (around $53 $), although the current price ($86 $) exceeds the average projection, reflecting the enormous potential of the technology.
• Technical Analysis: In the medium term, the stock is in an upward trend channel. The high RSI indicates strong optimism, but suggests the stock may be technically "overbought" in the very short term, making a brief correction possible.

In summary, $ASTS is a high-risk/high-reward
growth stock, driven by space-to-cell technology and supported by solid partnerships.

PS: The strong run of $ASTS has attracted attention. I am considering entering a position at more attractive support levels (around $60 $ in case of a correction) to capitalize on the long-term trend in satellite connectivity.
