Market Storylines: Momentum Meltdown, Earnings Strength + Fed Watch

Eric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week defined by a sharp momentum meltdown across high-beta and speculative assets. Meme stocks, crypto miners, and quantum computing names saw steep declines before rebounding on news of potential government investment. Precious metals like gold and silver also dropped from recent highs amid overbought conditions and macro uncertainty. Despite the volatility, major indices stabilized, supported by strong earnings and sector rotation into Energy, Healthcare, and Industrials. The week closed with optimism as markets regained footing and investors looked ahead to key economic data and trade developments.
