US Stock VIP Daily Report: NVDA Plunge & FOMC Rate Cut Bets (2026-07-28)

US Stock Member Network Daily Trading Intelligence: NVDA Plunge and FOMC Rate Cut Expectations

Today's Market Focus: AI Bubble Concerns Meet the Fed Rate Decision

On July 28, 2026, the discussion in the Discord "US Stock Member Network" community was clearly dominated by two threads: the AI bubble narrative triggered by NVDA's plunge, and the uncertainty surrounding this Wednesday's (7/30) FOMC meeting. Combined, both weighed on broader market sentiment, and intraday brief bounces on the 15-minute K-line were mocked by members as "each one weaker than the last," reflecting that the "TACO trade" effect is fading.

Most Discussed Targets Today

1. NVDA (Nvidia): The most frequently mentioned stock. The YouTube channel Moneyvest published a video today at 9:33 AM titled directly "CHIP Stocks Sell OFF!! NVDA Drops 5% on AI CAPEX RISK." Member "Cai Jiao" immediately questioned in the big-V chat room, "OpenAI looks like it's losing, and Da Zi still guaranteed them 250 billion" and "the market fears demand is being manufactured," while even "Ma Baoguo" said "the old reliable names are still steady," implying funds are rotating into defensive blue chips like Coca-Cola (KO).

2. AAPL (Apple): Unusual Whales pushed Polymarket data showing AAPL has a 70% chance of becoming the world's largest market cap company by end of July, with the related tweet reaching 18.3K views.

3. Korean Stocks / Korean Won: South Korea's nuclear submarine legislation sparked Asian geopolitical risk, and the impeachment topic around Lee Jae-myung was also raised by members.

4. A-Shares CXMT (ChangXin Memory Technologies): Opened sharply lower by 7.7%, with the ChiNext down 3.12% and the Shanghai Composite down 0.91%, weighing on Asia-Pacific sentiment.

Main Bullish Views

• Midterm Election Tailwind: "Ma Baoguo" stated bluntly "the midterm elections are basically locked in" and "the exit is locked in," believing Trump's election rally is not yet over.
• Defensive Blue Chips: "Ma Baoguo" called out "like KO and such" and "the old reliable names are still steady," with Coca-Cola representing the bullish camp.
• FOMC Rate Cut Hopes: Trump has publicly called for the Fed to cut rates. Although Polymarket shows a 72% probability of rates being held steady, a cut would inject liquidity into the market.
• Iran Negotiation Progress: An AP report said "mediators see progress in efforts to stop the Iran war." Trump said "Iran wants to talk, we are talking," which briefly pushed oil lower and stocks higher.

Main Bearish Views

• AI Bubble Concerns: "Cai Jiao" explicitly stated "it's replaying the dot-com bubble," while "Chia Ching lin" analyzed "the AI bubble is mainly because there are no productive applications landing — the Magnificent Seven haven't produced any yet."
• OpenAI Circular Backstop: "Da Zi's $250 billion backstop problem" was mentioned repeatedly, questioning whether NVDA's capital commitment to OpenAI is reasonable.
• Thursday's Super Earnings Tsunami: "Yao Yang" warned "wait until this Thursday's big earnings hit — that will be the tsunami," expecting reports from Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Meta to ignite volatility.
• Selling Without Real Bad News: "Chia Ching lin" emphasized "it's dropping like this without any bad news yet. If real bad news comes out, you can imagine how much downside room there is."
• Weak Tape: "Bai Bai" pointed out "there's no external risk that justifies dropping this much" and "a lot of small-cap names have already given back their gains," arguing the decline exceeds what fundamentals can explain.

Key Price Levels, Earnings, Macro Events, and Catalysts

• FOMC Meeting: Held this Wednesday (7/30). Polymarket shows a 72% probability of rates being held steady and only a 28% chance of a cut. Trump continues to press for rate cuts.
• Super Earnings Week: This Thursday (7/31), earnings from MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, and META will be released in a cluster. The YouTube channel "Vision Global Finance" has previewed "How are ASML and NVDA doing? MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, META earnings volatility."
• NVDA -5% Warning: The Moneyvest video title flagged AI CAPEX risk, dragging the semiconductor sector along with it.

• Chinese Yuan: 6.7621 against the USD, slightly stronger than the previous day.
• South Korea Nuclear Submarine Bill: Will formalize South Korea's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, raising geopolitical risk.
• NVDA's $250 Billion Circular Backstop for OpenAI: A focus of community discussion, viewed as a core risk point of the AI bubble.
• China's CXMT Plunge: A-share ChangXin Memory Technologies opened down 7.7%, and US-listed SNDK was simultaneously flagged with a 30-minute level alert by the Cat Sister AI Chanlun system.
