Retail trading activity is heavily concentrated in just a few names: Tesla, Micron, and Nvidia. There is an "incredible amount of action in the derivatives market" for these three. High retail derivative participation usually creates high implied volatility and "choppy" price action. Sosnoff notes the market is rangebound/choppy. WATCH. These are liquidity centers, but the high retail concentration suggests potential for volatility crush or erratic moves rather than a clean trend. Retail capitulation could cause rapid downside moves.

Sosnoff observes that "every single sell off has been met with buying," including a recent overnight dip of 50 handles that was bought up. He states tariff talk "doesn't move the market as much as it used to." The market has desensitized to geopolitical/tariff noise (unlike in 2024/2025). The underlying flow is structural dip-buying. Therefore, fading knee-jerk reactions to news is the profitable strategy. LONG on dips. A genuine structural shock (not just talk) that breaks the "buy the dip" psychology.

Sosnoff says he pays "more attention to... Gold and Silver... and to a certain extent Bitcoin" in this environment rather than tariff headlines. In a rangebound equity market where macro headlines (tariffs) are being ignored, traders look for uncorrelated alpha or alternative stores of value. WATCH/LONG as alternative trading vehicles while equities chop. Dollar strength could suppress these assets.
