Nasdaq retail data indicates retail trading reached $70 billion a day at the end of last year, then fell significantly in recent weeks as conflict in Iran began. The shift suggests a more risk-off stance among retail traders, with activity rotating away from crypto and software stocks and into value names. The article points to geopolitics as a drag on retail participation rather than a company-specific development.
