Shares of companies in the broader technology sector are trading lower following greater-than-expected inflation data measured through the PCE price index for February, while personal spending missed estimates. Additionally, recent tariff announcements may be weighing on equities.

On Thursday, Wolfspeed, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44511946/wolfspeed-inc-appoints-semiconductor-industry-veteran-robert-feurle-as-chief-executive-officer-and" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced the appointment</a> of Robert Feurle as CEO, effective May 1, 2025.
The decision follows a comprehensive internal and external search by the board of directors. 
Feurle brings over two decades of leading global organizations developing the most advanced power semiconductor solutions in automotive and high-voltage applications, including silicon and silicon carbide.
Feurle succeeds Thomas Werner, who serves as interim executive chairman and will return as board chairman following the transition.

Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Opto Semiconductors Business Unit at ams-OSRAM AG.
Wolfspeed&nbsp;stock plunged 80% in the last 12 months. It failed to reach the analyst revenue estimate in the previous four quarters, leading to Wall Street analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WOLF/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target cuts</a>.
In January, Wolfspeed reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43318702/wolfspeed-reports-financial-results-for-the-second-quarter-of-fiscal-year-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter revenue</a> decline of 13.4% to $180.5 million, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $186.0 million. Adjusted EPS loss of $(0.95) missed the analyst consensus estimate of $(0.82).
Wolfspeed expects third-quarter revenue from continuing operations of $170 million-$200 million versus the $194.46 million consensus estimate. It expects adjusted EPS loss of $(0.88)-$(0.76) versus $(0.76) consensus estimate.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Micron Technology Stock In The Last 10 Years

While President Donald Trump's economic policies — particularly related to tariffs — have clouded the broader narrative, at least some sectors could see a reprieve. According to a Bloomberg report, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/25/03/44454222/why-sp-500-and-nasdaq-futures-are-rising-today">might not pursue levies on critical industries</a> like automobiles and semiconductors, at least for the time being. Naturally, this development has strong implications for Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Of course, the major tailwind is not an exclusive catalyst for MU stock. For example, one of the main tech benchmarks, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), popped around 2% on Monday, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) wasn't too far behind. It goes without saying that the usual suspects in the semiconductor space, such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), benefited handsomely from the surge.
Nevertheless, investors may want to pay close attention to MU stock. For one thing, the underlying company is critically important for artificial intelligence. Generative AI is a data-hungry machine, and Micron—thanks to its memory and storage infrastructure specialty—feeds it.
Specifically, AI workloads require massive amounts of data for training and operating purposes. Advanced systems are constantly moving data in and out of memory. Micron's dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and flash storage (NAND) products allow this process to happen quickly and reliably.
Second, Micron is coming off an upbeat second-quarter earnings report. Revenue of $8.05 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.56 beat the respective analysts' targets of $7.89 billion and $1.42 per share. Even better, management broadcast optimism for the third quarter due to DRAM and NAND demand growth in both data center and consumer markets.
Subsequently, MU stock slipping about 17% below parity over the past 52 weeks seems to be a discount.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smart Money Inflows Offer the Most Important Opinion About MU Stock</h2>
As encouraging as the fundamental winds are, they won't matter much if the market doesn't respond in kind. For this response to materialize, it's not enough for individual investors to have positive vibes. Instead, institutional money needs to talk with their wallets, which appears to be happening with MU stock.
Earlier on Monday, Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/03/44458988/check-out-what-whales-are-doing-with-micron-technology">options scanner</a> identified unusual activity in Micron's derivative contracts, with big money piling in. Most conspicuously, the highest dollar-volume trade was for 3,300 contracts of the $100 call expiring next month on April 17. This trade is significant because of the relatively unambiguous nature of the transaction.
Because the sentiment is bullish, the call options represent a debit transaction; that is, the trader must pay the premium (or the ask price) to acquire the calls. By logical deduction, the breakeven price for such a transaction is the strike price plus the premium paid. In this case, the trader is signaling that before expiration, MU stock should pop above $103.30.
Bear in mind that a bought call option can only be profitable if it rises above the breakeven threshold, based on intrinsic or extrinsic value or a combination of both. While it's not guaranteed that MU stock will swing higher from here, it's reasonable to assume that the whales believe upside is approaching.

Enticingly, in the technical chart, MU stock appears to be forming a pattern reminiscent of a bullish pennant. If anything, the price action since September last year is noticeably funneling into an apex. From the above data, the whales are positioning for a big breakout.
Adding to the enthusiasm is the statistical argument. As a baseline, MU stock (using data over the past six years) enjoys an upward bias. A long position held for any given eight-week period has a 56.15% chance of rising.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-839071" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/24143451/MU-stock-probability-gambit.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
Under the dynamic conditions of sizable volatility — defined as a weekly loss between 5% and 10%, as occurred last week — an eight-week hold sees long odds rise to nearly 62%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Ways to Roll the Dice on MU Stock</h2>
With the whales targeting the April 17 $100 calls, it makes sense to duplicate this trade. However, retail traders can leverage demand for this derivative by selling it in a net bullish transaction called the bull call spread. Here's how one iteration works out.
Consider the 95/100 bull spread expiring April 17. This transaction involves buying the $95 call (at a time-of-writing ask of $530) and simultaneously selling the $100 call (at a bid of $288). The proceeds from the short call partially offset the debit paid for the long call, resulting in a net cash outlay of $242, the most that can be lost in the trade.
Should MU stock hit the $100 short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward comes out to be the difference between the strike prices (multiplied by 100 shares per contract) and the debit paid, or nominally $258. This translates to a payout of almost 107%.
Another simpler approach is to buy the MU stock call option straight up. If going this route, it might make sense to buy a longer-expiry call, such as the May 16 expiration date. This way, traders can give themselves extra time for the potential bullish pennant to break out.

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pay Attention To Sentiment</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-micron-earnings-fedex-sentiment-shift-mu-mc-03212025">click here</a> for a chart of Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of MU stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart of MU stock is important as it demonstrates the behavior of non-momo crowd investors towards tech stocks has changed, while the momo crowd is sticking to its old behavior.</li>
<li>The chart shows momo crowd buying ahead of Micron earnings.&nbsp; Since the momo crowd buys on hopium and does not take risk into account, the momo crowd buys ahead of earnings.&nbsp; In contrast, smart money tends to control risk ahead of earnings, since earnings is a risk event.</li>
<li>The chart shows the momo crowd aggressively running up MU stock after earnings to over $109.&nbsp; Micron earnings were better than the consensus and whisper numbers.</li>
<li>If the same earnings were reported at any time over the last two years, this morning MU stock would have rocketed further, perhaps to $120.&nbsp; Instead, the chart shows MU stock has fallen to $99.45 as of this writing in the premarket, not only giving up its gain but also turning negative.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>In our analysis, non-momo crowd investors took advantage of momo crowd buying and sold into the strength.  The same pattern is being seen in many tech stocks.  </li>
<li>Micron is one of the three largest manufacturers of semiconductor memory in the world.&nbsp; Semiconductor memory has become the lifeblood of the modern economy.</li>
<li>More important is that Micron produces the most advanced high bandwidth memory.&nbsp; High bandwidth memory is essential for AI.</li>
<li>The reversal in MU stock is causing sentiment to dampen on all tech stocks.</li>
<li>We have previously shared with readers about Nvidia GTC.&nbsp; In terms of Nvidia suppliers, Micron is the biggest beneficiary of what we learned at Nvidia GTC about NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new chips.&nbsp; Information from Nvidia GTC is negative for Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).</li>
<li>Yesterday was Nvidia's first ever Quantum Day.  We wrote in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44421496/nvidias-first-quantum-computing-day-4-5t-quad-witching-european-banks-beat-tech-stocks-by-34">yesterday's </a>Morning Capsule:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">In our analysis, there is a high probability of a sell-the-news reaction in quantum stocks.  Quantum computing has the potential to be bigger than the internet.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The Arora Report's call about quantum computing has proven spot on.  Quantum computing stocks such as IONQ Inc (IONQ), Rigetti Computing Inc (RGTI), D-Wave Quantum Inc (QBTS), Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT), and Arqit Quantum Inc (ARQQ) have experienced major drops.</li>
<li>Adding to the pall for non-tech stocks this morning are earnings from FedEx Corp (FDX).&nbsp; FedEx is a global shipping and logistics giant.&nbsp; FedEX earnings, in big part, depend on the strength of the global economy.&nbsp; FedEx reported earnings below consensus and whisper numbers.&nbsp; FDX stock is down over 9% as of this writing in the premarket.</li>
<li>After FedEx hurting consumer discretionary stocks this morning are earnings from Nike Inc (NKE). The Nike turnaround is going to take longer under its new highly respected CEO. As full disclosure, NKE is in the Portfolio that surrounds The Arora Report&#8217;s ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.</li>
<li>Helping cushion in the drop in the stock market this morning is the expiration of futures this morning.&nbsp; Options will expire at the end of the day and may exert upward pressure.&nbsp; $4.5T of derivatives are expiring today.</li>
<li>In the Afternoon Capsule after the Fed announcement, we shared with you that the stock market was running up on aggressive momo crowd buying.&nbsp; At a time when the stock market was running up on aggressive buying, we wrote:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">Powell has done a masterful job of comforting the stock market.  However, prudent investors should note that the risks are not balanced anymore and the dot plot is mildly more hawkish.  Right now, the momo crowd is buying stocks as Powell provides comfort.  Smart money is not likely to find the same comfort that the momo crowd is finding.
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The foregoing call has proven spot on.&nbsp; The stock market has now given up all of the Fed rally and more.</li>
<li>The stock market needs to make a stand right around here and go up.&nbsp; Otherwise, the momo crowd will incur major losses.&nbsp; In The Arora Report analysis, if the momo crowd incurs major losses, they will have less buying power to run up the stock market.&nbsp; Over the last two years, the momo crowd has been the primary force running up the stock market.&nbsp; It is important to pay attention to the momo crowd's buying power.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Germany</h4>
In a watershed event, for the first time since World War II, Germany approved 500B euros in infrastructure and defense spending in addition to a borrowing increase.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

High Bandwidth Memory Beneficiary Of Nvidia Chips But Micron Reverses, FedEx Hurts Sentiment

Wall Street remains in the red heading into the end of the week, with major indexes posting modest midday losses in New York, though well off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the session&#8217;s earlier lows.</a>
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said there would be flexibility on the upcoming tariffs, easing investor concerns that their planned implementation on April 2 could trigger major disruptions.

The news helped improve risk sentiment in equities, while gold is having its worst session since late February, down 1% as traders scale back positions in safe-haven assets.
The U.S. dollar reversed course to notch weekly gains after two consecutive weeks of losses. Among mega-cap stocks, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the way, climbing 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively.
Boeing, up 11% for the week, is on track for its strongest weekly performance since July 2023 after securing a multibillion-dollar contract to design and build a next-generation fighter jet for the U.S. Air Force—beating out rival Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), which fell 6%.
