Trend Signal Now: The AI panic is real (and it's not going away)

Saturday, February 14, 2026

Welcome to The Strazza Letter, a free note with market insights from me, All Star Charts Chief Market Strategist Steve Strazza.

DeepSeek just dropped a model that's cheaper, faster, and arguably better than anything OpenAI or Anthropic has put out.

And in response, the market absolutely nuked big tech. Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Google—all down double digits. Over $1 trillion in market cap gone in a matter of days.

Now every SaaS company, every software business, every "AI-powered" startup is scrambling to figure out if they even have a moat anymore.

Because if a Chinese lab can build something better for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are you paying premium multiples for?

And here's the uncomfortable truth: This isn't going away.

This is the new reality. AI isn't just disrupting other industries anymore—it's disrupting the companies that were supposed to BENEFIT from AI.

The cannibalization is happening in real time, and retail traders are getting slaughtered.

But here's what most people don't understand: When money flows OUT of one sector, it flows INTO another. That's a rotation.

And if you know how to read them, you don't sit there bag-holding Microsoft hoping it bounces back. You pivot. You follow the flow. You position where the money's actually going.

That's exactly what we did in October. While everyone was still piling into tech, I started seeing institutional accumulation in energy. The charts were building bases. Volatility was compressing.

The Squeeze Engine was lighting up on Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon.

So we positioned. And over the next four months, we caught seven straight winners. Chevron ran 925%. ConocoPhillips 582%. Kinder Morgan 549% in six days.

Not one loser. Not one.

And now it's happening again.

I've got five setups on my watchlist that are showing the exact same structural patterns energy showed back then.

Tight consolidation. Accumulation. Volatility compression. Relative strength starting to diverge from the broader market.

These aren't tech stocks. These aren't AI plays. These are names in a sector that's being completely ignored right now while everyone panics about DeepSeek and ChatGPT. And that's exactly why they're setting up.

Inside Breakout Multiplier, you'll see these five setups in real time. You'll get the alerts when we enter.

You'll be in the weekly strategy sessions where we walk through how to manage the positions as they develop.

And if the pattern holds like it did with energy, you'll be sitting in multi-bagger winners while everyone else is still trying to figure out if Microsoft is done falling.

Right now through Monday at midnight, you can lock in $1,000 off annual or $100/month off. After that, we're back to full price.

Join Breakout Multiplier before Monday's deadline

The AI panic isn't going away. But you don't have to sit there and bleed with everyone else. There's a rotation happening right now. You can either see it or you can't.

P.S. I'm not here to tell you tech is dead forever. I'm here to tell you that RIGHT NOW, the money is flowing somewhere else. And if you're not positioned for it, you're going to miss it just like you missed energy.

Stop bleeding. Start positioning. Join before Monday
