Last week, as more and more Wall Street traders realized the difficulty of a Middle East ceasefire, the U.S. stock market experienced a new round of sell-offs.
As of last Friday's close, the three major U.S. stock indexes recorded their fifth consecutive weekly decline, marking the longest losing streak for the S&P 500 since 2022; the Dow also entered a technical correction zone on Friday, while the Nasdaq fell more than 2% on both Thursday and Friday. The CBOE Volatility Index (commonly known as the 'fear index') surged above 30, reaching its highest level in nearly a year.
Reviewing Cathie Wood’s operations during the last two trading days, Thursday and Friday,The length of the selling list and the volume of funds were astonishing.The 'hardware infrastructure' and 'crypto-assets' that once fueled the tech stock rally were completely wiped out, while buying remained extremely restrained with precise single-point targeting.


Buying direction: Only a slight increase in AI healthcare positions.
In the recent sell-off, Cathie Wood's buys over two consecutive days were solely for AI healthcare companies. On March 26, she exclusively purchased AI healthcare data infrastructure. $Tempus AI (TEM.US)$ 61,000 shares; on the 27th, she precisely added to her position in a rising star of mRNA frontier therapies. $Arcturus Therapeutics (ARCT.US)$ 48,700 shares.
Facing the vast wave of AI innovation,Cathie Wood has given up chasing computational hardware and placed all her trust in healthcare applications.The logic behind this is highly unified: as computational infrastructure gradually becomes widespread, what truly builds a deep moat is TEM’s exclusive access to massive clinical and molecular gene databases that others cannot obtain, along with ARCT’s disruptive technology capable of sending instructions directly to the human body at a fundamental level and rewriting the code of life. This is a high-probability bet on 'real-world data as an asset.'
Sell side: Reduced positions in NVIDIA, AMD, and Taiwan Semiconductor.
The selling activity over these two days amounted to an extreme reduction in holdings, covering some of the most sought-after core assets currently in the market.
NVIDIA, AMD, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Broadcom: A complete retreat from the AI computing power supply chain.
This was the most impactful move over these two days. From the 26th to the 27th, there was a drastic cut in the dominant AI chip company. $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ Over 210,000 shares; simultaneously sold $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ 57,300 shares and conveniently reduced holdings in the leading foundry $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ and the network chip giant $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ 。
A collective cash-out across the entire AI foundational computing hardware chain, suggesting ARK may believe the valuation of foundational computing chips is overextended or that the explosive potential of the hardware cycle is marginally declining. Maximizing cash-out from the 'tool providers' makes room for disruptive applications in the next decade.
Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) & Crypto Exchanges (BLSH, XYZ): Precise realization of crypto euphoria
Cathie Wood aggressively dumped 495,000 shares of Bitcoin spot ETF ( $ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.US)$ ) and has been aggressively cashing out for two consecutive days from $Bullish (BLSH.US)$ and $Block (XYZ.US)$ and other crypto and fintech infrastructure.
Maximizing profit-taking on highly cyclical, high-volatility crypto assets at a macro peak. Converting highly liquid ETFs into cash strengthens their reserves to navigate future market volatility.
Tech Giants (META, GOOG) & Legacy Streamers (ROKU, NFLX): Ongoing clearance in the attention economy
Cathie Wood continues to sell off $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ more than 87,000 shares, even including $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ and $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ , and continues to liquidate $Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$ 。
The intensive reduction of these tech giants and streaming veterans appears more like a tactical risk hedge and profit-taking at a high point. As the phase-based valuation recovery of major internet companies reaches its target and faces potential macro fluctuations, ARK decisively opts to cash in on substantial profits. This does not imply a complete bearish stance on the internet traffic model, but rather a strategic contraction to reduce portfolio drawdown risks, while preparing sufficient cash reserves for subsequent market corrections.
