    Tech Momentum Defies High Treasury Yields: AVGO, NVDA & $1B Dark Pool Rotation

    Welcome back to the Bulls, Bears and the Bell podcast! In today's high-energy AM pre-market session, your hosts Joe (The Senior Analyst) and Jane (The Tactical Strategist) break down how equities are displaying impressive resilience in the face of ongoing macro headwinds. Despite the U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield hovering near two-year highs at 4.78% and WTI crude stabilizing at $89.62/bbl, tech-led momentum is carving out a narrow path higher in early trade. Joe and Jane dissect overnight global market moves—including the Nikkei’s slip to 64,214 on a strengthening Yen and European manufacturing’s four-year high—before diving into crucial labor market data. With Initial Jobless Claims expected between 212,000 and 227,000 this morning, and yesterday’s ADP Employment Change missing expectations at 38,000, the macro setup is incredibly tight ahead of tomorrow's highly anticipated Nonfarm Payrolls report. On the tactical side, we reveal why institutional smart money is rotating hard into momentum, highlighting a massive $1.0B dark pool block trade in SPYM and $38.67B in technology inflows over the last 48 hours. Finally, we map out the exact levels for our Top 3 Stocks to Watch at the Bell: Broadcom (AVGO), Snowflake (SNOW), and Nvidia (NVDA). 📈 TICKERS & KEY LEVELS TO WATCH: S&P 500 Futures (ESU26): 7,684.75 (+0.11%) — Watch tightening Option Walls near 7,700. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQU26): 29,226.25 (+0.14%). Dow Jones Futures (YMU26): 53,223.00 (+0.19%). N-V-D-A: Trading near $217.49 in pre-market; needs to reclaim $220 to lead Nasdaq futures higher.
