News of OpenAI's IPO delay, coupled with AWS raising GPU instance prices by 20% on July 1st, is re-igniting AI jitters, pushing futures lower. This sentiment directly influences tech valuations, with tickers like AMD and NVDA likely facing increased selling pressure as speculative exuberance wanes.

Meanwhile, concerns over the broader economic outlook persist. Sliding oil prices, potentially falling below $50 a barrel as OPEC's influence wanes, add another layer of uncertainty. This macro backdrop, combined with tech-specific headwinds, reinforces the bearish stance currently dominant in our Pulse.

The strongly bearish Radiant Pulse, driven by significant short activity, aligns with current macro concerns and tech sector jitters. While crypto is leaning sideways, the equities market is demonstrating clear downside conviction. Traders should monitor these trends closely and explore Radiant algorithms for further insights.
