• A broad, sharp sell-off hit AI infrastructure names across every subsector despite the group's underlying breadth still improving on the week.

  Servers, semicap, compute, dc-infrastructure, networking, memory and neocloud names all posted single-day declines of 4-6% simultaneously (HPE, CRWV, LRCX, VRT, INTC, ORCL, DELL, ALAB, NBIS, MU, CRDO, WDC), suggesting a broad de-risking event across the trade rather than a stock-specific issue, even though several of these same names carry bullish fundamental news (Oracle backlog, Dell orders).

• Vertiv and CoreWeave crossed below their 200 EMA today, and Constellation Energy joined them, while dc-infrastructure and power breadth remain stuck at 50%.

  These are trend-line breaks in the physical build-out (power, cooling, data centers) side of the trade, the two subsectors that have shown zero improvement in breadth this week even as compute and semicap breadth rose sharply -- a divergence between chip/hardware momentum and the power/infrastructure layer that ultimately gates AI capacity.
