Meta closed unchanged at $635.29 as Instagram/Facebook/WhatsApp subscription chatter went sideways. Anthropic $1T valuation headlines redirected AI-capex attention away from in-house Meta spend.

META is in a holding pattern — fundamentals are fine, but the marginal AI capex narrative is rotating to pure-plays (Anthropic, Micron) over hyperscalers. Subscription monetization story is too early to price.

Any concrete subscription pricing detail; Reality Labs Q2 read-through. $640 caps; support $625. PCE Friday matters less for META than for rate-sensitive peers.

Nasdaq 100 jumped to 30,223.9 (+0.84%), outperforming as AI-leveraged names led on the ceasefire bid plus fresh Anthropic $1T valuation chatter. Micron Q1 earnings still echoing.

The AI capex narrative is still doing the heavy lifting — Anthropic IPO and Samsung HBM4E shipping headlines reinforce the spend cycle. Peter Schiff's bubble warning is the only counter, and it hasn't bit yet.

30,500 is the next round-number magnet. PCE Friday plus any Nvidia commentary into the next earnings window. Loss of 29,800 would be the first real warning shot.
