🚨 EMERGENCY MARKET UPDATE: The rules of the tech trade just changed overnight. In this episode of Theta Fuse, Jax and Mira break down the $180 billion bomb dropped by Alphabet and why a "trillion-dollar wipeout" is currently tearing through the software sector.
Today’s Deep Dive:1. The $180 Billion Gamble: Google (Alphabet) just shattered Wall Street expectations—but not in the way you think. They are forecasting a staggering $180 billion in Capital Expenditures for 2026 to build out AI infrastructure. We explain why the stock dipped and what this massive spend means for the rest of the market.
2. The Software Apocalypse: Why is the software sector bleeding out? It started with an innocuous announcement from AI startup Anthropic about a new legal tool, and now it’s spiraled into a full-blown panic. Investors aren't just worried about a bubble; they are worried about displacement. We discuss the "Kill Zone" and why legacy SaaS companies are suddenly looking obsolete.
3. Bitcoin's "Death Spiral" & The Fed: Crypto is getting hammered. Bitcoin sank below $70,000 after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explicitly stated the US government has no authority to bail out crypto. Plus, we look at Michael Burry’s terrifying "death spiral" warning and why liquidity is drying up.
4. The Crash in Commodities: It’s not just tech. Silver plummeted 17% in a single session—wiping out its recent recovery. Meanwhile, Gold is fighting to stay above $5,000. We analyze if this is a buy-the-dip moment or a bull trap.
5. TODAY’S STRATEGY - Follow the CapEx:
While software stocks are getting crushed, where is Google’s $180 billion actually going? It’s flowing directly to the "pick and shovel" hardware providers. We look at why Broadcom (AVGO) popped 5% on the news and why shifting exposure from software clients to hardware builders might be the defensive play of the year.
