Yesterday, Thursday, February 5, 2026, Wall Street suffered its sharpest sell-off of the year as a "risk-off" contagion swept through nearly every asset class. A disappointing jobs report, coupled with aggressive AI spending plans from Big Tech, sparked a broad liquidation that sent the Dow tumbling nearly 600 points and pushed Bitcoin into a temporary flash crash.
📉 S&P 500 Active Trade Tracker
The trade has swung into a temporary paper loss following yesterday's volatility. However, we remain fully confident in achieving our 4% ROI by month-end.
Yesterday’s sell-off in the S&P 500 spiked Implied Volatility (IV); as this fear subsides and IV drops, our position will benefit significantly from accelerated premium decay. Crucially, the Index at 6,798 remains well above our 6,400 strike and our 6,376.31 breakeven. The index needs to fall another 6% before we would lose on Feb 27th, and that is why the Probability of Profit (POP) remains robust at circa 90%. No action required.
📋 Long-Term Buy Watchlist Update
DELL, NVDA & AMD: All three semiconductor and hardware leaders became notably "cheaper" yesterday. NVDA fell to $171.88, AMD dropped to $192.50, and DELL closed at $116.70. We are closely monitoring this price action and anticipate adding all three to our long-term buy-and-hold portfolio in the coming days as they find technical support.
Wait & See: For CRM, PYPL, and ORCL, we are remaining patient. We need to see these names stop making lower lows and begin a period of technical consolidation before we commit capital.
📅 Market Review for Thursday, February 5, 2026
Overview: Fear gripped the markets on Thursday as the 10-year Treasury yield sank to 4.20% following a weak jobs report. Investors are increasingly wary of the massive AI capital expenditures ($180B+) announced by Alphabet and Meta, fearing that near-term cash flows will be strained before the AI "payoff" fully arrives.
