Wait, is the AI boom actually over because of DeepSeek? Feeling totally lost right now

[Yield Seeker]

Hey everyone, I'm still pretty new to trading and honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed today. I logged into my broker account and saw my portfolio bleeding red, especially my tech holdings. Apparently, some new Chinese AI thing called DeepSeek dropped and caused this massive rout, with Nvidia tanking like 16 percent in a single session! Ngl, I am lowkey panicking and wondering if I should just sell everything before it drops more, or if this is just a massive shakeout. For the experienced traders out there, how does a competitor actually crash hardware stocks this hard? Does this mean the whole AI infrastructure play is dead, or is this just a good dip to buy? Would really appreciate some advice on how to handle my positions right now.

Man, don't panic. If you look at the daily RSI, we're seeing some pretty clear bearish divergence forming on the big AI tickers while the price is still trying to fight for new highs. That’s usually a red flag that the momentum is dying out, regardless of what DeepSeek is doing. I’d wait for a clean MACD crossover to the downside before you start calling it a total market top, but yeah, the enthusiasm is definitely getting a bit tired. Just watch your support levels and don't catch a falling knife if that signal triggers.
