High volatility expected

Fresh positive capex news (AI infrastructure strength) conflicts with severe macro headwinds (S&P -1.74%, VIX +5.21%). Market risk-off sentiment likely overrides company-specific bullish catalyst in near term. Analyst accuracy on AI plays is 46.2% (below coin flip), warranting caution.

⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

Skip this trade. While Meta's $10B Texas AI investment is structurally bullish, the 1.74% S&P decline and VIX spike indicate macro risk dominates. With your AI accuracy at 46.2%, confidence is too low to trade against the broader selloff. Wait for market stabilization before reassessing. [MOVE:0.8%]
