Summary

  • Despite escalating geopolitical tensions (Iran/Israel, "WW3" rhetoric), the market is showing irrational resilience, particularly in Software and Bitcoin.
  • A specific "Feedstock Arbitrage" trade is emerging in the Chemical sector: US companies benefit from high global oil prices (competitors' costs) while utilizing cheaper domestic natural gas.
  • Oil prices are breaking out of a "quad top" technical structure, signaling the market is pricing in prolonged conflict/supply disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Institutional adoption of crypto continues to accelerate (ICE/OKX deal), decoupling price action from typical risk-off correlations.

"I fully thought we were going to wake up to Bitcoin being red... but it's not." Also notes ICE (parent of NYSE) investing in OKX. Bitcoin is showing unexpected strength by not dumping on war news. The ICE/OKX deal signals massive institutional infrastructure build-out. COIN and MSTR are high-beta proxies for this resilience; HOOD is trading as "leverage Bitcoin beta." Long crypto equities as they are outperforming bearish expectations. Bitcoin losing the 67k-68k support level triggers a liquidation cascade.

"Software ETF (IGV) has been ripping... green every single day." Specifically mentions Palantir (PLTR) and CrowdStrike (CRWD) as "ripping." Despite macro fear, the market is bidding up software and cybersecurity. This suggests a "flight to quality" or a decoupling where tech is viewed as immune or essential (especially cybersecurity in modern warfare). Follow the momentum. The "fractal" correlation between BTC and Software suggests if one holds, the other runs. General market beta crash if SPY rolls over below 670.

"Michael Burry announced... he was long Adobe and this thing was... V-recovering." A legendary contrarian investor (Burry) stepping in suggests the "AI will kill Adobe" narrative was overblown and the stock is oversold. The technical V-shape confirms buyers are stepping in. Long on the "Burry Bottom" signal. AI disruption narrative resurfacing.

"Crude oil not looking good... getting ready to just break out. There's such a thing as a quad top." Later notes traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has plunged 95%. The technical setup (quad top breakout) combined with the fundamental catalyst (war in the Middle East/supply choke points) creates a high-probability upside for oil. If oil rips, major US producers (XOM, CVX, COP) are the direct beneficiaries. Long exposure to energy is the primary hedge against the "WW3" narrative. De-escalation in the Middle East causes a rapid price collapse.

Reading a thesis on "American chemical companies." Competitors in Europe/Asia rely on oil-based feedstock (naphtha). US companies use natural gas. As oil prices skyrocket due to war, foreign competitors' costs explode. US companies, accessing cheap domestic natural gas, gain a massive structural cost advantage ("Feedstock Arbitrage"). Long US Chemicals is a sophisticated second-order play on rising oil prices. Global recession crushing demand for chemicals regardless of input costs.
