AI infrastructure fears weigh on tech as stocks retreat

U.S. markets took a beating today, dragged down by mounting worries over AI’s ripple effects on tech infrastructure plays. Cisco’s plunge sparked broader selling in networking and data center names, while gold and oil joined the retreat amid souring risk appetite. The Nasdaq shed over 2%, with semis and AI-adjacent stocks hit hardest as investors questioned the staying power of the hype cycle.

Quant Rockets, our rules-based momentum model, stayed the course by zeroing in on stocks showing real price strength through volume and volatility signals. Quant Rockets doesn’t chase macro calls; it hunts where capital flows, surfacing swing candidates with clean trend continuation. That focus paid off in storage leaders like Seagate (STX), up 5.87% on surging volume that confirmed its short-term uptrend. Sandisk (SNDK) and Western Digital (WDC) followed suit at +5.16% and +3.78%, their momentum intact despite the tech rout. These names held firm because the model flagged their expanding volume profiles early, filtering out noise for high-conviction setups held over weeks with predefined stops.

Not every signal held up in the selloff. Vertiv (VRT) dropped 4.82% as AI infrastructure fears weighed in, testing its volatility bands. Symbotic (SYM) shed 7.24% and Bloom Energy (BE) tumbled 10.65%, with both losing momentum on fading volume. The system responded mechanically: when price action breaks key levels or volume dries up, exits trigger without hesitation, protecting capital. Lumentum (LITE) bucked the trend slightly at +1.63%, highlighting how the model thrives in rotation by pivoting to relative strength.

This environment underscores Quant Rockets’ edge for active traders: systematic scans cut emotion, spotlighting momentum pockets even in choppy seas. While semis stumbled, storage plays showed capital rotation, a classic signal the model captures daily. Tomorrow’s scan will reassess, ready for whatever flows emerge.
