Today's market reminds me of an idiom called "blind men touching an elephant." Everyone is talking about their own direction, but no one sees the whole picture clearly. BTC fell, ETH fell, SOL also fell, but the declines varied. I stared at the market all morning and did nothing—just a typical bystander's mindset.
Then guess what.
South Korea's KOSPI triggered the sidecar mechanism, pausing programmatic trading for 5 minutes. This action itself is a signal. When a market needs to stop and calm down, it means volatility has exceeded the normal range. The Korean won appreciated 2% against the US dollar to 1418. This is a rare intervention by South Korea's foreign exchange authorities. The yen is also strengthening, indicating global currency markets are fluctuating, while crypto is relatively resilient in this context.
Leveraged ETFs on Korean bonds were also heavily hit by this volatility. The finance minister publicly apologized, indicating the problem is serious. Leveraged ETFs are designed to amplify returns, but in extreme volatility, they also amplify risks. The lessons from these products in the Korean stock market are worth learning for all markets. The crypto market has similar products. High leverage always means high risk.
So my judgment is that today's decline is part of a global risk appetite shift, not a problem unique to crypto. After KOSPI's stabilization mechanism takes effect, market sentiment will gradually recover. There are a few other things worth noting today, let's talk about them together:
#微软单日市值增近4500亿，创美股纪录
The escalation of US-Iran conflict pushed oil prices up, but the increase was very limited. The market is more worried about interest rate hike expectations than geopolitical risks. This reaction shows that oil's financial attributes have been weakened. I don't think this temporary geopolitical tension will continue to push oil prices higher. More importantly, oil price volatility has little impact on crypto liquidity.
#HYPE再遭亿元解押，日企首度入场
The unlocking and selling of HYPE puts pressure on the entire ecosystem. Whale cashing out means short- to medium-term liquidity release. But HYPE's fundamentals and partnerships remain unchanged. If the price drop is absorbed, it could be a new starting point.
#财报观察员：亚马逊指引不及预期，股价却反涨9%
Morgan Stanley launched ETH and SOL spot ETPs. This is another channel for traditional finance to enter crypto. Spot ETPs are more direct than futures, making it easier for institutions to allocate. This will further drive institutional capital inflows into ETH and SOL, but retail investors may become the ones getting harvested.
$BTC $ETH #热点 #叙事 "Altseas" are overhyped, but whales are just getting started.
$PENGU and $CFX might be trending, but what's behind the scenes? On-chain data reveals that new money is still cautious, refusing to commit to the 'altseason' narrative. Meanwhile, whales are quietly accumulating $ADA, $TAO, and $SUI, staking their claim on what could be the market's next blue-chip projects.
Liquidity is also playing a curious game. While $PENGU might be getting a boost from retail FUD, whales are selling into the uptick. Conversely, $LRC's price dip is a perfect buying opportunity for whales, who see this as a chance to snag more LRC at a discount. Don't be surprised if whales soon emerge as the dominant force, making this altseason an alt-merging into the next big thing.
The market's "value anchor" ($BTC) is flashing buy signals, while $ETH is experiencing "insto magnet" effects, drawing in large institutional players. $SOL, however, remains the "beta casino," drawing shorts. Track these flows and don't get caught up in the noise.Is the market maker targeting me? 😭 I'm about to be liquidated
100 $ETH long position with an unrealized loss of 3000u!
Just now I was watching $SNDK sideways
The next second it performed a free fall for me
From around 1393.92
Smashed down to 1295.40 in one minute
Almost 100 points gone just like that
This is not a pullback
This is directly stomping on the bulls' face
—
The most outrageous part is
$SNDK crashing wasn't enough
It also dragged my $ETH down with it 😭
ETH continued to drop from around 1900
Current price 1886.19
24-hour decline of 1.66%
Lowest touched 1885.45
My 100 ETH long position
Entry average price 1917.39
Current mark price 1886.31
Unrealized loss directly at 3109.92U
Return rate -162.19%
I'm numb already
—
The key point is not losing 3000U
The key point is the estimated liquidation price at 1876.91
Now close to liquidation
Less than 10 dollars left
If ETH drops just a bit more
My position might be gone 😭
100x leverage
Full position
100 ETH
I used to think 1917 wasn't high
Now looking back
This is not a long position at all
This is handing a knife to the market maker
—
$ETH's current structure is also painful
1-hour MA5 at 1901.24
MA10 at 1907.77
MA20 at 1914.04
Price 1886.19
All have fallen below the moving averages
1900 was just struggling
Now it has directly broken down
Whether it can hold around 1885 below
For me, it's no longer a market issue
It's a question of whether my account can survive
—
Looking again at $SNDK
Although it rose 5.98% in 24 hours
Its intraday high was 1436.18
Just now it quickly dropped from 1393.92 to 1295.40
An instant retracement of nearly 100 points
Then barely pulled back to around 1323.98
The most disgusting thing about this trend is
The daily candle still looks green
But those who chased in have already been buried once
A crash completed in one minute
Then sideways as if nothing happened
The market maker really knows how to play 🙂
—
Now my demands are not high anymore
$SNDK, please don't suddenly dive again
$ETH, first get back above 1900 for me
Not asking to make money
Nor to break even
Just let me get away from 1876.91 a bit 😭
If it drops another 10 dollars
This 100 ETH long position will be completely done for
#微软单日市值增近4500亿，创美股纪录
#韩股KOSPI盘中飙升14%，创历史最大单日涨幅 This year, the foundation was slimmed down, Fusaka was launched, and the third major iteration has begun. Written by: KarenZ, Foresight News 2015. In 2015, Ethereum brought the concept of a "world computer" on-chain; In 2026, it will restructure the organizational network that maintains this machine while reshaping the underlying architecture for years to come. Over the past year, Fusaka's upgrade laid the foundation for Ethereum to carry more L2 data; The Ethereum Foundation completed a large-scale restructuring, with some R&D, institutional expansion, and privacy businesses transferred to independent entities such as Ethlabs, Ethereum Institutional, and EthSystems; Lean Ethereum and Strawmap have put the next round of protocol overhaul on the table, ranging from consensus and verification methods to cryptography and state—all of which may be redesigned in the coming years. The first ten years were compressed into a few lines. On July 30, 2015, Frontier mainnet launched. Ethereum evolved from the white paper's vision into a public network where anyone can deploy and run smart contracts. Over the next decade, in 2016, The DAO was attacked, triggering an Ethereum hard fork, with the side that did not accept the fork continuing as Ethereum Classic; In 2020, the Beacon Chain was launched; In 2022, The Merge separated the mainnet from proof-of-work$BTC is testing a key support zone after a sharp rejection from the recent high of $65.4K. Sellers are currently in control, with the 1H chart showing lower highs and continued bearish momentum.
Price is trading around $63,997, and if this support fails, BTC could see additional downside before buyers step back in. A strong recovery above $64.6K would improve short-term sentiment and may signal a momentum shift.
For now, patience is the best strategy. Watch for confirmation before entering a trade, and always manage risk in this volatile market.
Are you expecting Bitcoin to bounce from this level, or is another leg down more likely?
#OKXTraderVoices My best friend asked me what I've been up to lately
I said I was watching the market
She said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be selling anymore?"
I smiled without saying anything
Because the truth is too intense
Then guess what.
Today's PCE data is out
GDP growth has slowed directly to 1.5%.
If this had happened before,
The market should have long since panicked and plunged
But BTC 64322
It only dropped by a few tenths of a point
This calmness was just too unusual
Everyone is waiting for the Fed's PCE speech tonight
The three board members clearly stated that interest rate hikes are still necessary
But the market simply didn't buy it
This kind of misalignment of expectations is the most dangerous
So my judgment is
Data such as reduced positions and a wait-and-see approach have been realized
No chasing or heavy positions before the FOMC
Let's also chat about a few trending topics to see if any of them are worth following:
#PCE环比转负, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%
GDP growth slowed directly to 1.5%, but BTC barely moved, indicating that capital has become desensitized to macroeconomic data. This desensitization itself is a signal—either they truly don't care or they've already priced in. I chose not to treat this data as positive news to chase positions.
#美伊报复循环加速, oil prices have risen 20% this month
Retaliations from the US and Iran are becoming more frequent, and oil prices have risen, but the crypto market has responded with great restraint in its response. Investors seem more afraid of interest rate hikes and liquidity than geopolitical risks. What does this priority indicate? It shows that liquidity is the real main thread.
#PCE环比转负, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%
The correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq suddenly faded; the past shared prosperity is now going its own way. I don't think this divergence will last long, but in the short term, BTC has indeed gained breathing room for independent trading. I just thought it was a reckless reversal.
$BTC $HYPE #宏观 #资金轮动📌 Today, the US stock market is not very informational
1. The storage section is aggressively recovering
$SKHY closed up 17.4%, $MU up 18.4%, $SNDK up 26%
Several 2x long SK Hynix ETFs closed up about 34%–36%, rebounding over 50% from the intraday low. A couple of days ago, it was still holding the market, but today it rushed in with bottom-fishing and short covering, and the volatility is truly exaggerated
Microsoft and Amazon's earnings reports continue to confirm one thing: the demand for AI computing power has not suddenly disappeared, cloud providers are still pouring money, and storage has gained a temporary breathing 📈 room
2. $AMZN surged after the earnings report
Amazon surged over 9% after hours, then rallied during official trading and then closed up about 3.9%
AWS revenue grew 37% year-over-year, marking the fastest growth in 18 quarters. The company also raised its full-year capital expenditure to $220 billion, stating that current computing power still cannot meet demand
Related stocks $NBIS rose 27.1%, $CRWV rose 21.5%, and funds began to concentrate again in AI cloud and computing power leasing
3. $TSLA × $SPCX Merger rumors reverse
Media reports say some Tesla executives have been asked to study divesting, selling, or even shutting down its China business to clear regulatory barriers for a potential SpaceX merger
Musk quickly denied it, directly calling it fake news and stating that the company had never discussed the matter internally
$TSLA closed up about 3.5% that day, but this can only be considered rumor fermentation and cannot be considered as a merger entering the substantive stage 🚨
4. OpenAI has really started a price war
GPT-5.6 Luna price was reduced by 80%, Terra by 20%, with the Luna API price dropping to $0.2 per million input tokens and $1.2 output per million input tokens
The official reason given is improved inference efficiency, but OpenAI hasn't stated whether it's aimed at the Kimi K3. But when these timing coincides, the market naturally understands it this way
5. $AAPL Even if the financial report looks good, the stock price will still be hit
Apple once fell nearly 10% intraday, but later recovered most of its losses. Quarterly revenue was $109.4 billion, up 16% year-over-year, with iPhone revenue up about 22%, and the numbers on paper are not bad
The market is worried about the future: memory costs are still rising, next quarter's revenue growth guidance is only 9%–11%, and this quarter's profits include a one-time tariff refund assistance
Today's plate is quite interesting
Storage was just smashed and then all surged, while Apple's good results were suppressed. Funds are no longer looking at "how much profit has been made," but whether the next quarter can continue to exceed expectations 👀Even though it's bad news, the price keeps rising—I sense an opportunity
Korean stocks surged wildly today, with SK Hynix soaring 24%
Samsung also rose more than 20%.
I stared at the candlestick, completely stunned
The market is all surging with crypto, but it hasn't moved
This kind of deviation is extremely abnormal
Then guess what.
The frenzy in Korean stocks stems from the rare sale of US dollars by foreign exchange authorities to intervene in the forex market
The Korean won rose over 8% in a month, hitting its strongest performance in nearly a year
I wrote about the scenario of capital rotation from the stock market to crypto on July 26
Today, I just changed the trigger point
On the eve of the FOMC, everyone is looking for safe-haven positions
The results showed that crypto is more resilient than stocks
After BTC fell below 60,000, it has been grinding in the 63,000-64,000 range
However, the rally in Korean stocks has shifted capital pressure onto Korean won assets
Smart money knows in advance that the Korean won will appreciate
So the rotation of crypto funds is only a matter of time
Yesterday, the whale on HYPE moved 1.03 million coins into Coinbase
With a profit of $37.45 million, he was ahead of the market
So my judgment is
The Korean stock market's rally won't last long
The risk of liquidation in Korean leveraged ETFs has not yet been fully released
Crypto is not the main battleground now, but it is definitely a safe haven
The BTC 64,000 area is the hard support for this rebound
Next, let's take a quick look at the latest hot topics and chat casually:
#美股加密标的承压, coin price fluctuations affect financial reports
Three Federal Reserve governors have clearly opposed the current rate level and believe it is necessary to continue raising rates
However, the market has already priced in on rate cut expectations, and the PCE data could trigger a new round of competition
This divergence will make the FOMC meeting very interesting, and I also plan to reduce my position and wait and see
#PCE环比转负, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%
The escalation of the US-Iran situation should have pushed up oil prices, but the market reacted with restraint
Investors are more concerned about the liquidity drain from expectations of rate hikes
The geopolitical risk premium has already been very thin, and I don't think this calm will last long
#HYPE再遭亿元解押, Japanese companies entered the market for the first time
That HYPE whale cashed out 1.03 million coins into Coinbase Prime and FalconX
After earning $37.45 million, he chose to cash out rather than continue holding
Uncollateralization means liquidity release, and short-term price pressure is reasonable
I just thought this was a signal to reduce positions, not a bottom-fishing opportunity
$BTC $ETH $HYPE #宏观 #资金轮动Apple Falls, Amazon Rises: Two Earnings Reports, One Reason This earnings season, two companies are especially interesting when viewed together: Apple's earnings report is strong, but its stock price has fallen; Amazon's cash flow is negative, but its stock price has actually risen. Apple: Did well this time, but predicted you'll fail next time. Let's first look at Apple's report card. Revenue was $109.4 billion, up 16% year-on-year; Net profit was 29.8 billion yuan, up 27%. Looking at it separately, iPhone revenue rose 22%, and Mac revenue rose 29%. This result is quite impressive. Mobile phones and computers are selling very well, and the company remains very profitable. So here's the question: with such good results, why did the stock price drop? When investors look at financial reports, they're not just looking at how much they've earned in the past three months, but also whether the price can continue to rise. For example. One student scored 90 this time, which is quite good. But when he got home, he told his parents: Next time I take the exam, I'll probably only be able to score in my early 80s. How do parents feel? He definitely wouldn't be happy. Apple has done exactly this time: it expects revenue growth of 9%–11% next quarter, below market expectations. The service business is not as strong as imagined, and AI has yet to bring significant revenue. So Apple's problem isn't that it's not profitable now, but rather the market's concern: its growth rate may slow down. Amazon: Spending money is fierce, but we've already seen the money coming back. Look at Amazon again. The focus of this financial report is not online sales, but AWS. What is AWS? You can think of it as a computing power rental company. Many companies do not want to buy services themselves🇺🇸 $DRAM Intraday Quick Review: $54 Storage Faith
As of July 31, 2026, the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) is trading near $54. The ETF peaked at about $66.10 on July 9 and dropped to $52.72 on July 17, a drop of about 30% over the month. On July 30, it rebounded nearly 11% in a single day to $58.88, then fell back to around $54—a rollercoaster 🎢 of volatility
---
📈 Resistance and support levels
Resistance levels: $55-57 is the first resistance, corresponding to the July 30 low and intraday rebound high. After a breakout, the 60-61 USD range (previously a dense trading band). $65-67 is a medium-term strong resistance, corresponding to the July 9 high and the concentrated option call strike price.
Support below: $52-53 is the first line of defense, with buying support at the July 17 close at $52.72. $48-49 is stronger support; If it falls, it will open up a room to test the $40 level. The 52-week low of $26.14 serves as an extreme bottom reference.
---
✨ Positive factors (three points)
AI computing power triggers storage shortages: surging HBM demand squeezes traditional DRAM capacity, combined with production controls by major companies like Samsung, leading to a substantial DRAM shortage, with distributors already raising prices first. The demand for high-bandwidth memory in AI servers continues to accelerate.
Tian Liang Funds Bottom-Fished Against the Trend: Despite DRAM plunging 35%, there was still a net inflow of $2.5 billion over the past five days. In just 54 trading days after listing, its size surpassed $20 billion, making it one of the fastest-growing new ETFs in recent years.
Memory giants surged across the board: on July 30, Micron rose 18%, SK Hynix rose 17%, SanDisk rose 26%. The collective counterattack in the memory sector provides a positive catalyst for DRAM.
---
⚠️ Negative factors (three points)
ETF structure has deviated significantly: investors complain that $DRAM has not followed the trend of its holdings. DRAM fell while South Korean holdings rose, and US holdings continued to fall when they rose—active management balancing and pricing bias are confusing 🤔
Analysts bearish on memory prices: Several analysts predict that memory prices will fall below current levels in five years. New capacity continues to be released in Asia, and concerns about oversupply persist.
Technically extremely weak: plunged over 35% from the $80.72 high, and the weekly S2 support level has been effectively broken. Although the volume is large, the price focus continues to shift downward, a typical shipping pattern.
---
📊 Earnings guidance and Wall Street's target price expectations
Regarding performance guidance: DRAM is an actively managed ETF holding global storage company securities through equities and derivatives. The top three holdings include FGXXX, Samsung Electronics of South Korea, and U.S. Treasury bonds. In June, it was included for the first time in the A-share GigaDevice (weight 2.91%). The rate is 0.65%. This product is only suitable for short-term trading; long-term holding faces the risks of active management rebalancing and tracking bias.
Target price expectations: Community traders target $65. Technical analysis suggests that after rebounding from the lower trendline, the $52-54 block should be targeted. Historical data as of July 16 shows the opening price was 54.31, with a high of 54.75 and a low of 51.90. Currently, $54 is in the lower third of the 52-week range ($26.14-$81.34). There is a huge divergence between bulls and bears; the short-term direction depends on whether $52 can effectively stabilize.
---
$DRAM $54 is at a fragile equilibrium point after the plunge. The long-term logic of AI storage remains unbroken, but the ETF structure deviation and technical breakdowns form a double suppression. If $52 is breached, it will test the bulls' faith, while breaking above $57 could trigger a technical recovery. Belief in storage cycles and short-term panic are locked in a deadly battle here, with position management more important 🔪 than direction judgment. #PCE环比转负 GDP growth slowed to 1.5% #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance fell short of expectations, yet its stock price reversed to 9% #微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a new record for US stocks Today, OpenAI broke a major revenue announcement, which is the most important early signal to watch in the storage sector right now.
CNBC reported that OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar revealed at an internal employee meeting on July 29 that the company's annualized recurring revenue (ARR) for July has exceeded the total for the entire second quarter.
What does that mean?
According to TickerTrends data, OpenAI's ARR in Q2:
At the end of April, 28.8 billion yuan.
At the end of May, 33 billion.
At the end of June, it was 37.3 billion.
ARR for the entire second quarter saw a net increase of 11.4 billion.
The net monthly increase in July exceeded this figure.
According to the second, more radical interpretation—July revenue exceeded the combined revenue of the three months in Q2 ($8.25 billion), and the annualized ARR has already surpassed $100 billion.
To be conservative, using the first method, OpenAI's ARR is rapidly approaching Anthropic.
Why is growth so rapid?
Sarah Friar clearly stated three reasons at the meeting:
The GPT-5.6 series models were released.
New enterprise agent product ChatGPT Work.
The usage of the AI coding tool Codex continues to climb.
The key question is, what does this have to do with storage?
The recent surge in storage revenue is almost entirely driven by price increases caused by data center demand pressure.
OpenAI is the largest customer of data centers, and all computing costs depend on funds generated by OpenAI's business growth.
OpenAI is accelerating its cash burn, expansion, and computing power grabs.
The fiercer the competition, the more data centers are built, and the faster storage is consumed.
The logic behind storage isn't to look at SK Hynix's candlesticks, but OpenAI's ARR.
Buy the moat, ride the bull — Buy the moat, take the long ox.

The gap between traditional finance and digital assets is getting smaller.
Platforms like OKX are expanding beyond crypto by offering exposure to products linked to traditional financial markets, reflecting a broader trend toward the tokenization of real-world assets.
This isn't just about adding more markets.
It's about giving traders access to multiple asset classes from a single ecosystem.
Why It Matters
🌍 Capital follows opportunity—not asset labels.
When AI leads the market, technology-related assets attract attention.
When commodities, ETFs, or other sectors take the spotlight, capital rotates there.
The ability to access different markets around the clock is becoming an increasingly important feature of digital trading platforms.
The Bigger Picture
The tokenization of real-world assets continues to gain momentum.
As that trend develops, the distinction between traditional finance and blockchain-based markets may continue to fade.
The opportunity isn't simply finding the next token.
It's understanding where capital is flowing next and focusing on the narratives attracting sustained demand.
Crypto isn't just evolving.
The broader financial system may be evolving with it.

#SoftPCEStrongDemand #AMZNMissesButRallies #MSFT450BInADay $BTC $ETH $SNDK 🚨 Google's Gemini enters Oracle's enterprise ecosystem, $ORCL stock price rises 6%
Multi-model interconnection is becoming a new consensus in the enterprise software field. Oracle has chosen to ride this wave this time—announcing further deepening cooperation with Google Cloud to directly integrate Gemini models into its own enterprise application systems.
$GOOGL
For customers, this means an expanded selection of AI tools; For Oracle, this is a crucial step in expanding the AI ecosystem landscape, directly aligning with the urgent need for enterprise intelligent upgrades.
The market responded positively to this move, with funds pouring in quickly and the stock price rising 6% that day. Whether this momentum can continue has significantly increased expectations for Oracle's AI monetization capabilities.BTC did something big last night: it rose for three consecutive days, holding above $64,000. But don't rush to call the cow back. Watch three key levels: Support: $63,200. If it falls below this level, the short-term turn bearish may lead to a pullback to $61,500. Resistance: $65,500-66,000. A break above here would be necessary to see $67,500. Watch Level: $64,000 is now the dividing line between bulls and bears. Hold your ground and keep rising. Break below the threshold, then pull back. Current situation: 92.3 million short positions have been washed out, short-term selling pressure released. BTC ETF saw a net inflow of 32.1 million yesterday, ending a four-day losing streak. Fear index is 28, still in the fear zone. In plain language: There is momentum for a short-term rebound, but the major trend has not yet reversed. How do you do it? If BTC pulls back to $63,800-64,200, consider a light long position. If it rises to $65,500-66,000, be cautious of taking profits. If it falls below $63,200, exit first. Don't go all-in, avoid FOMO. #比特币 #技术分析 #操作As early as the July 1st video, I said $BTC would close with a bullish candlestick in July and set the first rebound target at 66,900. Afterwards, everyone saw BTC rebound to 66,956, less than 100 points from the target level. Notably, this was a prediction made 30 days ago.
The video from July 1st was viewed by 20,000 people, but I estimate very few will benefit from this surge. After all, when the market is loudly demanding a break above 50,000, suddenly saying something different like "starting a big rebound, July monthly chart closes higher" seems out of place and laughable. But it turned out the market ultimately sided with me.
Why do most people online choose to expect a rebound when they expect a drop below 50,000? The core logic is the reaction when BTC is in a bear market cycle and the price touches the major Gann angle line. Almost no one on the entire internet has ever talked about Gann's perspective, but the more overlooked something is, the more it can play a role at critical moments.
As shown in Figure 2, in the previous bear market, BTC rebounded 46.48% after breaking below the 2/1 line for the first time, rebounded 27.81% after breaking the 3/1 line, and rebounded 43.53% after breaking the 4/1 line.
If the first test at a key level is a false breakdown, a sharp rebound is often expected. Even if the weekly physical price directly breaks down, after stabilizing, it often produces a solid oversold rebound.
Looking at Figure 3, this round of BTC rebounded 38% after breaking below the 2/1 line, then 2/1 became a support and resistance swap level, rose to the 2/1 line and came under precise pressure, then continued to fall back to the 3/1 line. However, this time it did not directly break below 3/1, so I judge the rebound probability here is very high.
Is the rally over now? I don't think it's over yet, because the current rebound size and duration don't fully match the level it should have.
Before the monthly moving average closes tomorrow morning, if BTC can break through 65,800-66,200 and hold above it, then 62,742 could be the end of the pullback, giving BTC a chance to directly surge to 70,000+ in August.
Even if it cannot hold this range in the short term, if it later breaks below 62,742, it will most likely still be a pullback targeting the upward phase between 57,800 and 66,942. After finding the end point of the correction, I believe BTC will continue to rise. 🚨 The Fed didn't hike... but the market traded like it did. That's the biggest story today. The FOMC held rates steady, but the hawkish tone sent long-term Treasury yields soaring, crushed semiconductor stocks, and kept $BTC pinned near $64K. Here's what matters: 📉 Stocks: Chip names were hit hard as higher yields pressured growth valuations. The SOX index dropped over 5%, with names like MU and SNDK seeing heavy selling. 🪙 Crypto: $BTC continues to hover around $64K, with options max pain an🚨 SPACEX IS DOWN 50% — BUT THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE END
A big drop doesn’t mean the thesis is broken.
Key thing to watch: share unlocks. As locked stock hits the market, new supply piles on while demand cools. That’s a recipe for heavy pressure.
Retail stares at the chart.
Pros watch the supply calendar.
The real opportunity often shows up after the unlock selling is done and the market digests it. That’s when long-term buyers and institutions tend to step in.
For now, patience.
📌 A sharp washout . the bottom.
Sometimes the best buy comes after the last wave of forced selling, not in the middle of the panic.

#AMZNMissesButRallies 📈 Tokenized Stocks Are Gaining Traction Across Crypto
Interest in tokenized equities is growing rapidly. The number of unique holders worldwide climbed from roughly 552K to 973K during July, representing an increase of about 76% in only three weeks.
One of the biggest developments is Robinhood Chain, which reached approximately 338K holders in less than a month and quickly became the largest ecosystem for tokenized stocks.
The acceleration during the second half of July highlights a broader shift: tokenized equities are moving beyond experimentation and becoming a growing part of the crypto ecosystem.
As more platforms and chains enter the space, blockchain-based exposure to traditional stocks could become an increasingly important market narrative.

$SNDK Can't Apple hold up? Performance exceeded expectations, but the stock price plummeted by 7%~
# Apple's third quarter performance exceeded expectations, after-hours stock price fell sharply
Apple has taught the market a lesson this time.
Following Hynix, it once again perfectly explained that good financial reports do not necessarily mean a rise in stock prices.
- Third-quarter revenue of $109.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16%; Earnings per share were $2.02, higher than the market's expected $1.89. iPhone revenue grew by nearly 22 percent, Mac by 29 percent, services by 12 percent, and China by 22 percent.
The data looks beautiful, but the $XAAPL has dropped from around $340 to $315, reaching a low of $306.
What's the problem?
Apple exceeded expectations this time, partly because of the "help" of tariff refunds.
The company disclosed that tariff refunds contributed about 2 percentage points to gross profit margin and also increased earnings per share by $0.11. Excluding this part, Apple's actual earnings per share are about $1.91, only two cents higher than the market's expected $1.89.
So this financial report did win, but not as much as the title seems.
The market is more concerned about the next quarter.
Apple expects revenue growth of 9% to 11% in the next quarter, a significant slowdown from the 16% growth rate in the current quarter. The stock price was close to $340 before the earnings report, and the market bought in advance for the iPhone recovery, AI upgrades, and service business growth. When it comes to the actual submission, "meeting expectations" is no longer enough, and expectations must conti
Apple is also under great pressure in AI, with R&D expenses reaching $11.7 billion this quarter, a year-on-year increase of 32%, indicating that Apple is indeed spending money to catch up. However, the financial report does not yet see the independent revenue brought by AI. Can the new Siri AI drive users to switch phones and increase subscriptions? Some countries cannot use it, so it is still a story, not money on the account$SNDK #财报观察员：Amazon's guidance falls short of expectations, yet the stock price rises 9%
AWS growth at 37%, profits soar 64%, spending hits 220 billion.
After-hours up 9%.
Wall Street traders who bet on guidance got slapped again.
You think this is about earnings?
It's a health check for compute power hunger.
Microsoft is handing in homework, Meta is painting big dreams, Amazon is flipping the table—burning cash while earning, burning dollars but earning growth.
The market says: as long as you can still run at 37%, I’ll treat what you’re burning not as money, but as ammunition.
Isn't this the watershed moment for the crypto world?
Holding BTC and ETFs is the Microsoft path, steady but slow;
Rushing Dogecoin and betting on narratives is the Meta path, all talk;
The real players running compute power, staking, and mining real AI on-chain business volume are on the Amazon path—
Data doesn’t lie, fees don’t lie, on-chain Gas doesn’t lie.
Don’t talk to me about “long-termism.”
This round of AI+Crypto has just three hard standards:
· Does your protocol have real request volume?
· Is your compute power being continuously consumed?
· Is your coin price supported by narrative or by actual billing?
Amazon has already given you the answer:
Spending can skyrocket, as long as growth doesn’t fall flat.
Those still telling stories about “future expectations,” wake up.
The market only recognizes one kind of accounting—the data running today, not the arrows on tomorrow’s PPT.
One last sentence for friends still hoarding concept coins:
Once AWS slows down, the AI bubble will truly burst.
But today?
Keep handing shovels to the miners, no more nonsense. 🇺🇸 $TSLA Intraday Brief Review: $317 Faith Test
As of July 31, 2026, Tesla (TSLA) is trading near $317. After the July 22 earnings report, the stock price plunged 14.52% in a single day, and on July 29, it hit a 52-week low of $297.38 intraday. On July 30, it rebounded and closed at $308.85, with the night session further rising to $315.57. Since July, it has dropped about 30% cumulatively, and year-to-date has dropped 33.7%.
📈 Resistance and support levels
Resistance above: $323-$325 is the first resistance, corresponding to the gap retracement point. $337 is the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and SuperTrend resistance. $350 is a key watershed for a short-term trend reversal; $370 is the threshold to open space above $400.
Support below: $310 is the first line of defense near the SMA 144 moving average. $300.71 is technically referred to as the "last line of defense"; If it falls, it will open up room to test the $285, 270, or even $250 level. $274-280 is the stronger mid-term demand zone.
✨ Positive factors (three points)
Deliveries and revenue both set records: Q2 delivered 480,100 vehicles (+25% year-on-year / +34% quarter-on-quarter), setting a record Q2; Revenue was $28.24 billion (+26% year-on-year), exceeding market expectations. Over the past 12 months, rolling revenue has surpassed $100 billion.
FSD and Robotaxi are making substantial progress: FSD paying users reach 1.48 million (+56%), and 55% of new car deliveries in North America include FSD subscriptions. Robotaxi has operated in seven cities, driving over 380,000 miles without safety officers. Optimus production line is being installed.
Sister Wood and the bulls firmly bottom-fish: Cathie Wood continues to buy amid the plunge. RBC maintains a "Buy" rating; 24/7 Wall St has a 90% high confidence buy rating. Tesla's cash reached $43.52 billion (+179% year-on-year).
⚠️ Negative factors (three points)
Profit collapse and negative cash flow: Non-GAAP EPS was only $0.33, missing the expected $0.54 by 38.5%. Operating profit margin plunged from 4.1% to 1.4%. Free cash flow had a net outflow of $1.09 billion—the first quarterly cash burn in years.
Capital expenditure swallows everything: Q2 Capex reached $5.8 billion (+142% year-on-year), with full-year guidance exceeding $25 billion. Operating expenses surged 47% year-on-year. Several institutions expect free cash flow to remain negative in 2026.
The valuation is outrageously high: the current P/E ratio is about 318 times—a record high in revenue, but every dollar converted into operating profit of only about 1 cent. TipRanks technical analysis gives a "strong sell" rating based on 13 bearish signals.
📊 Earnings guidance and Wall Street's target price expectations
$TSLA Performance guidance: Management has identified 2026 as the "largest and most exciting investment period." The Semi and Megapack 3 are scheduled to begin production in 2026, and Cybercab has already started production at its Texas plant. FSD is expected to enter China in Q3 2026. Management emphasizes that long-term value creation takes precedence over short-term profit optimization—in plain terms: don't expect profit improvements in the short term.
Regarding target price expectations: The average target price among the 46 analysts covering Tesla is about $400, which is about 26% upside from $317. RBC target price is $480, Bank of America $460, JPMorgan Chase $445, Jefferies $400, Goldman Sachs $375. Of 44 analysts, 15 rated it as a "strong buy," with an overall rating of "Buy." However, the aggressive price cuts have sent a clear warning—this is a pricing of faith in the future, not a valuation of current earnings.

$317 is near the bottom of the 52-week range ($297-$499). The stark contrast between high revenue growth and profit collapse is striking: the AI/Robotaxi narrative is promising in the long run, but short-term cash burn is real. If $310 is breached, it will test the bulls' confidence limit; breaking above $337 could trigger a technical recovery. At this price level, bulls and bears are locked in a deadly battle, with position management more important 🔪 than direction judgment. $XTSLA #PCE环比转负 GDP growth slowed to 1.5%. #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance missed expectations, but its stock price rebounded by 9% #微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a record for US stocks If you only look at the 1.5% figure, you might feel that the U.S. economy has already slipped into the depths of recession. But if I told you that the core endogenous demand data reached 3.9%, marking a three-year low and rebound high, would you still be so optimistic that rate cuts are guaranteed? Early this morning, the U.S. Department of Commerce released a preliminary quarter-on-quarter GDP growth rate of only 1.5% for the second quarter, far below previous market expectations. As soon as the news broke, retail investors in the group started celebrating, feeling the economy was weakening and that the Fed's Washes could no longer provide hardcore inflation ammunition tonight. The dovish script for rate cuts could finally be rewritten. But I suggest you put the champagne back first. Because beneath this seemingly weak ledger lies an astonishing reconciliation logic: the year-on-year growth rate of real final sales to private domestic purchasers has soared to 3.9%. This requires us to peel an onion, asking the most fundamental question: 1. When describing the economy, why do these two numbers conflict? GDP, the headline growth rate, is the most familiar macro figure, but its statistical method is actually a hodgepodge, including net exports, inventory changes, and government spending. If you check the accounts, you'll find that the biggest culprit dragging down Q2 GDP to 1.5% was the sharp rise in import data. Because the accounting formula for GDP is used#财报观察员: Amazon's guidance falls short of expectations, yet stock price rises 9%
Meta is a scoundrel—can it really compete with Amazon? Amazon really can make money; the servers they just built today can be rented out immediately
What about you Meta? What can you do with advertising? So why don't I go to Google?
Moreover, all of Amazon's increased spending is spent on servers. They don't pursue AI fantasies, but focus on AI infrastructure and AI suppliers
So Amazon can see returns this time, with short-term returns being especially high.
I'm not doing AI, I'm an AI supplier. Right, AI, you mess with me and make money off your AI companies.
The current market is: if you are an AI supplier, you deserve to rise, but what if you do AI yourself? Sorry, I'll empty you to death.
So why do suppliers doing AI see price increases? Because suppliers make pure profits. For example, SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron don't do AI and just become suppliers, making huge profits. Nowadays, products related to AI are skyrocketing.$DOGE The three short-term moving averages—MA5, MA10, and MA20—are all running above the current price, with the price continuously under pressure below the moving average, which is a typical downtrend.

[Main Text of the Post]
Guys, at 3:15 PM, I just poured the third brew of the Yixing teapot into the fairness cup.
The trend of this candlestick is exactly the same as the Phoenix Dancong I have—a strong opening note, a mellow middle note, and a sweet aftertaste at the tail note. Looking at the latest price of 1.1508, then at the average opening price of 1.1277 in my position, I just want to say: the main force is shaking this cup of tea with incredible skill.
Don't rush, since the tea needs to be shaken slowly, let's take it apart. Let's look at the board first, then talk about knife techniques.
---
1. What temperature is this pot of water on the plate boiling?
Let's just look at the data and not be blinded by short-term fluctuations.
1. Positional Nature: The current price is 1.1508, firmly above the Boll middle band (1.1099) and close to the upper band (1.1603). What does this indicate? The bullish trend is intact, but it has already entered the "hot mouth" zone. The previous high above 1.2060 is like a pot lid—if it gets pumped, it needs to be lifted, but as long as it doesn't break below the middle band, the pot won't cool down.
2. Volume is the firewood: 24-hour volume is 160 million coins, trading volume is 184 million USDT, ranking 8th among new coins. This firewood is burning fiercely, but not yet at the boiling point. New coins + AI concept: as long as volume stays at the VOL (9514k) level, inserting a needle is like sending you tea.
3. Underlying currents: The line in the screenshot, "The planned unlock may be used within the next 12 months..." Although it's not fully explained, those who understand understand. It's like a tea bag hanging overhead—if you soak it for too long, it becomes astringent. So while enjoying the main rally, be clear—this wave is about emotion and inertia, not permanence.

2. Trading Direction: How Do I "Hold the Teacup"?
Since I still have a 5X long order in hand, with a marked price of 1.1503 and a floating profit of +10.02%, I'll talk about how to drink this cup of tea next.
· Trend Judgment (General Direction): Volatility is bullish, but not chasing gains. As long as the 4-hour level does not break below Boll's middle band (1.1099), a pullback is an opportunity to pour tea into the cup.
· Specific strategy (how to drink):
· Bottom line for holding positions: Since the position is open at 1.1277, set the stop loss below 1.1000 (around 1.0990). This is the edge of the tea tray. Once broken, just drop the cup and leave, never lingering in the fight.
· First take-profit level: around 1.1870-1.2000. At this point, I will halve my position, because the resistance at the 1.2060 high isn't just paper. First, pocket your profits, and let the remaining positions run profits.
· Position addition points: If it pushes back to the 1.1100-1.1200 range and stabilizes, I will reclaim the position I lost. Remember, good tea should wait for the second brew; good positions should wait for pullbacks to buy.

3. Trading Insights: Slow down to truly appreciate the true flavor
Finally, let's talk about the virtual ones, but they're also the most valuable.
After years of doing contracts, I've come to realize one thing: candlesticks are water, but people's hearts are like tea. If the water is too fast (chasing rises and selling lows), the tea churns and gets all the residue in your mouth; If the water is too cold (don't dare to place an order), the tea can't be brewed, and you'll never taste that aroma.
Look at this chart: the top shows take-profit +0.4, and the bottom shows stop-loss -0.4. Many people think these are cold numbers, but I believe they set rules for the market and give themselves dignity.
Profit is the market's reward; loss is the tuition of understanding. The biggest fear is not losing your position, but having a position in hand but your mind is confused, staring at the numbers ticking every second on the market, unable to even taste the tea. I rarely look at the 1-minute candlestick chart now; more often, I glance at the 4-hour structure, then turn off my phone and focus on pouring in the soup.
Remember, in the crypto world, surviving long is more important than making money quickly. Whether KAITO ultimately takes profits or sweeps losses, as long as you "understand" the order and know why you made and why you lost, the tea was worth it.
The tea is full, waiting for the flowers to bloom. Everyone, let's talk about your positions in the comments. Let's use tea instead of wine and wish the market a gentle welcome.

🔥 Market Weather Vane | July 31
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the coexistence of cooling inflation and slowing growth, and the AI narrative is undergoing intense divergence—the market rewards are no longer just "money-burning narratives," but "efficiency in spending money" and "real cloud revenue."
📉 PCE turned negative month-on-month, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%: inflation cooled but growth was worrying
The US June PCE price index fell 0.1% month-on-month, marking the first monthly decline since 2020. Core PCE year-on-year edged down from 3.4% to 3.3%. The cooling in inflation was mainly due to a drop in oil prices following the temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran.
On the same day, Q2 GDP annualized quarter-on-quarter growth was only 1.5%, lower than Q1's 2.1%. However, private consumption + investment, reflecting domestic demand, rebounded to 3.9%, the fastest since early 2023. Imports, inventories, and government spending dragged down GDP, while consumption clearly rebounded, and AI-driven corporate investment maintained high growth. The economy's "substance" is more solid than its "face."
📈 Amazon Web Services business explodes, rising nearly 10% after hours: AI spending has paid off
Amazon's Q2 revenue was $200.6 billion, up 20% year-on-year. AWS revenue was $42.2 billion, up 37% year-on-year, marking the fastest growth rate since 2021. CEO Jassi stated that AWS's AI business annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion. Net profit was $62.6 billion, a year-on-year surge of 245%. The stock price surged nearly 10% in after-hours trading.
The market ignored the capital expenditure increase to $220 billion, the negative $7.6 billion in free cash flow, and Q3 guidance slightly below expectations. AWS's explosive growth proves that AI investment is paying off, sharply contrasting with Google's plunge after raising spending and Microsoft's surging after maintaining spending—the market rewards not the spending itself, but the efficiency of the spending.
📊 Microsoft's market value increased by 450 billion in a single day, setting a new record for US stocks
On Thursday, Microsoft surged 15.5%, marking its largest single-day gain since October 2008, with its market value increasing by $450 billion in a single day and setting a new record for the largest single-day market cap growth in US stock history. Microsoft's stock price rose 15.51% in a single day, with a market capitalization of about $3.35 trillion. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also surged over 8%, ending a five-day losing streak. A consensus in the capital markets is forming: the winners in AI are companies that can turn computing power investment into real cloud revenue.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the same turning point: PCE turning negative and GDP slowing coexist, with contradictions within economic data; Amazon proved with AWS's explosive growth that AI investment can pay off, soaring nearly 10% after hours; Microsoft's single-day market value increased by 450 billion, setting a US stock market record—the market's rewards are no longer just "burning money" narratives, but "spending efficiency" and "real cloud revenue." The old AI valuation logic is collapsing, and new pricing power is taking shape. #PCE环比转负, GDP growth slows to 1.5%

#微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a record for the US stock market $XRP $LUNC $NVDAB 🚨 JUST IN: Bitcoin ETFs post $233M inflows, pushing week back into the green 📅 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 06:46:23 +0000 #USLaunches337ProbeIntoDRAMDevices #DTCCProcessesFirstLiveTokenizedTrades #BTC[August, the Market Will Give BTC the Truth]
July is over, with Bitcoin climbing from 58,000 and reaching a high of 66,900, up 15%. Today, returning to around 64,800, the panic from the early months' needle has faded, but the confidence for a rebound has also faded.
This month, the market seems to be mentally preparing itself—the shadow of rate hikes hasn't faded, ETF money has come back and gone, technical rebounds have been pushed back again.
First, a judgment: **Bitcoin's monthly closing pattern has reached a critical point for choosing a direction. **
**First, macro is not bullish, but rather loosening. **
On July 30, the US core PCE data was released, with an annual rate of 3.3% and a monthly rate of 0.1%, both lower than previous values. Inflationary pressures are indeed fading. CME's probability of a rate hike in September has dropped from nearly 100% to around 60%. The interest rate hand has shifted from "choking" to "putting it on the shoulder"—not exactly loosening, but at least not overpowering. The US dollar index also recorded its largest single-day drop since January. As the dollar weakens, non-U.S. assets naturally benefit.
But the market did not soar because of this. Inflation has dropped, the dollar has weakened, and BTC has not broken above 67,000, but has steadily fallen back to 64,800. What does this indicate? **The current price has already swallowed more than half expectations for macro unrestraints. ** To truly go higher, what is needed is not just inflation improvement, but capital flowing in again.
**Second, ETFs have returned, but not decisively. **
Spot ETFs ended their four-day streak of outflows on July 30, recording a net inflow of $32.1 million. The data looks good, but with the single-day outflows of over 100 million yuan in June, this recovering feels more like a way to restore positions rather than to add new ones.
We also need to look at a deeper issue: last month's Binance Research report that said "$4.5 billion flowed out in June" is not a shocking statement. BlackRock alone took three-quarters of the share, marking the first time in the ETF era that such a large-scale continuous withdrawal has occurred. It's good that institutions are back, but whether they have truly changed their stance depends at least on the number of days of continuous net inflows in August. The current sample size is still too small.
**Third, the technical side has reached the end of convergence. **
On the daily chart, BTC is trading sideways near 64,800, the Bollinger Bands are converging, moving averages are converging, and the MACD red bars have shortened to nearly disappear. There is no trend on the 4-hour chart, with both the EMA and Bollinger Bands moving sideways. In technical analysis, this structure means only one thing: **silence before the market change.** After convergence, divergence is inevitable—the key is where to diverge.
The resistance above 66,000-66,700 is short-term resistance; a breakout is needed to see 68,000. Below 63,400-63,700 is the first line of defense; if it can't hold, open up space toward 62,000.
**What do you think about August? **
Over the past two months, BTC's token distribution has formed a long-term, healthy bottom accumulation. On the quantitative signal side, on-chain indicators show BTC is in an undervalued range relative to on-chain activity, and the NVT Golden Cross has turned bullish. However, Binance BTC capital flows remain unstable, Coinbase premiums are weakening, and the divergence between bulls and bears remains sharp.
Putting all these signals together, the most balanced judgment is: **August is very likely to consolidate in the 62,000-66,000 range. ** Walking inside the box, the direction chosen is not the same as in one or two days.
**Operating Range**
Here are a few anchor points I set for myself:
Long plan: BTC pulls back to stabilize in the 63,400-63,700 range, buy long, stop loss at 63,000, target 65,500-66,000.
Short Plan: BTC rebounds to 65,500-65,800 and encounters resistance resistance; light short position, stop loss at 66,300, target 64,000-63,500.
Wait-and-see trigger: If the price is consolidating between 63,700 and 65,500 without breaking through, do not trade.
Back to the AIX side.
During this market cycle, my AIX agent has been following a strategy, with the most recent adjustment in mid-July. At that time, new prompt combinations and review modules were added, also using multi-cycle scanning + oversold and overbought filtering. After optimization, net profit and loss turned positive from previous loss states. Currently, there are 36 trades, 18 wins and 18 losses, net profit and loss +24U, profit factor 1.86.
The new strategy has a major change: ** No longer orders just for the sake of closing orders. ** In the recent decision logs, facing BTC consolidating around 64,800, AIX's judgment was entirely "WAIT"—the reason is simple: the direction is unconfirmed, no buying highs or bottom-fishing. This perfectly aligns with my trading philosophy.
In the coming August, if the market breaks out of the box range, AIX will make moves; If it keeps going sideways, it will keep waiting.#财报观察员：亚马逊指引不及预期，股价却反涨9%
Amazon's guidance is indeed weak, but the market is not trading on missing tens of billions in sales next quarter; it's trading on AWS accelerating again, proving that the massive AI investment has started to shift from a "burning cash story" to real revenue.
The core of this rally boils down to two words: AWS.
In Q2, AWS revenue grew 37% year-over-year to $42.2 billion, far exceeding the market expectation of about 31%, marking the fastest growth in over four years; AWS operating margin approached 39%. Advertising revenue also grew 26% to $19.8 billion. The market had been most worried that Amazon would lag behind Microsoft and Google in the AI cloud competition, but this earnings report directly disproves that.
The Q3 revenue guidance is $197 billion to $202 billion, below the market expectation of $203.9 billion, but this seems more like a timing issue: Prime Day was moved into Q2, which pulled forward some Q3 retail revenue. Compared to selling a bit less in e-commerce, capital cares more that the higher-margin AWS is accelerating.
Amazon also raised its full-year capital expenditure from $200 billion to $220 billion. Normally this would be negative news, as free cash flow has dropped to negative $7.6 billion over the past 12 months; however, management says compute demand still exceeds supply, and some AWS capacity for 2027 is already booked. The market interprets the increased spending as "expanding capacity only with orders," not blind cash burning.
However, note that the large increase in earnings per share includes huge unrealized gains from Anthropic equity, so it cannot be fully regarded as core profit.
Outlook: After a short-term surge, a period of consolidation is likely; whether it can continue to rise in the medium term depends on whether AWS can maintain over 30% growth and whether capital expenditure can convert into cash flow. If the cloud business continues to accelerate, there is still room for valuation re-rating; if AWS slows and free cash flow continues to deteriorate, this 9% gain is more likely just an earnings pulse.
The market forgave the weak guidance because AWS delivered a more valuable future.🇺🇸 $META Intraday Commentary: A test of faith at $549.6
As of July 31, 2026, Meta Platforms (META) is trading at $549.6. After the July 29 earnings report, the stock price plummeted from $585.61 to a low of $524, closing at $539.03 on July 30. $549.6 is in a breather zone after the plunge, having retraced more than 30% from the 52-week high of $796.25.
---
📈 Resistance and support levels
Resistance Levels: $540-550 is the first resistance, near the closing price on July 30. After the breakout, the $585-597 range is indicated, with $597 corresponding to the previously thick green chip zone. $611 (middle band of the Bollinger Bands) is stronger resistance. $670 is a strong medium-term resistance level.
Support below: $520-$524 is the first line of defense; after the earnings report, it briefly touched $518.13 in after-hours hours before receiving buying support. $500 serves as the psychological round number threshold and option put support level. If it falls, it will open up room to test the $480 level.
---
✨ Positive factors (three points)
Revenue continues to beat expectations: Q2 revenue was $60.8 billion, up 28% year-on-year, exceeding market expectations of $60.3 billion. Advertising revenue was $59.36 billion, up 27% year-on-year, and Family of Apps' daily active users reached a record high of 3.6 billion. AI has directly improved ad recommendation quality and monetization efficiency.
AI commercialization path is clear: Advantage+'s related business has reached $75 billion in annualized revenue. The company plans to monetize through multiple models such as AI proxy subscriptions, enterprise APIs, and computing power sales. Many institutions believe that medium- to long-term AI is expected to improve core advertising efficiency and open up new revenue streams.
Wall Street overall bullish: China Merchants Securities International maintains an 'overweight' rating with a target price of $870. Goldman Sachs maintains a "buy" rating. Citi maintained a "buy" rating. Most institutions believe that current valuations fully reflect short-term bearishness.

⚠️ Negative factors (three points)
Profit and cash flow collapsed: net profit was $15.8 billion, down 14% year-on-year, with EPS of only $6.18, far below the expected $7.22. Free cash flow was only $784 million, a sharp 91% year-on-year plunge, hitting a four-year low. Q2 capital expenditure was $31.1 billion, up 88% year-on-year.
Q3 guidance falls short of expectations: Q3 revenue guidance is $61-64 billion, with a median of $62.5 billion below analysts' forecast of $63.2 billion. The exchange rate will drag growth by about 1 percentage point. JPMorgan points out that market visibility into monetizing AI spending (outside of advertising) remains limited.
Capital support continues to surge: full-year capital expenditure guidance raised to $130-145 billion. The company has committed nearly $700 billion in future AI spending. JPMorgan Chase expects capital expenditure to reach $243 billion by 2027. Citi forecasts free cash flow to turn negative in the second half of 2026 and continue into 2028.

📊 Earnings guidance and Wall Street's target price expectations
$META Regarding performance guidance: total costs in Q2 surged 55% year-on-year to $42 billion, including $2.4 billion in litigation and $1.18 billion in layoff costs. R&D spending reached $21.66 billion, up 67% year-on-year, accounting for more than one-third of revenue. The full-year total cost guidance has been raised to $167 billion. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that AI achievements are beginning to show and the company is still in the early stages of its AI investment cycle.
Target price expectations: China Merchants Securities International $870, Citigroup $800 (formerly 850), Goldman Sachs $725 (formerly 815), DA Davidson $700 (formerly $850), JPMorgan Chase $640 (formerly $725). S&P Global estimates the median price target for Wall Street at around $815. $549.6 still has about 48% upside from the median, but the aggressive price cuts by institutions send clear warning signals ⚠️
$XMETA $549.6 is at the fragile equilibrium point after the sharp drop in earnings. The sharp contrast between high revenue growth and profit collapse is striking; the AI narrative is promising in the long term, but short-term cash flow pressure is real. If $520 is breached, it will test bullish confidence, while breaking above $585 could reverse the short-term downturn. Bulls and bears are tug-of-war at this price, with position management more important 🔪 than direction judgment. #PCE环比转负 GDP growth slowed to 1.5%. #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance fell short of expectations, but the stock price reversed to 9% #微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a record for US stocks #PCE环比转负, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%
Latest data released: US overall PCE in June fell 0.1% month-on-month (first negative in six years), core PCE was only 0.1% month-on-month, and the annualized GDP growth rate in Q2 dropped to 1.5%, lower than Q1's 2.1%. After the data came out, US Treasury yields slightly retreated, BTC surged in the short term but failed to stabilize, and the crypto sector as a whole remained volatile, with funds reluctant to bet on one side. Although inflation data has cooled expectations for rate cuts, core PCE year-on-year remains at 3.3%, far below the Fed's 2% target. Coupled with fluctuating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, policy remains a dilemma. I remain cautious in my operations, avoiding impulsive short-term data and waiting patiently for macro uncertainty to fully settle. I believe the bull market will gradually return.
#财报观察员: Amazon's guidance falls short of expectations, yet stock price rises 9%
These represent only personal views and do not constitute investment advice.🇺🇸🇨🇳 Americans are buying, Asians are selling, and the recent BTC market rhythm, when carefully analyzed, is quite intriguing.
🌃 During the US session, prices kept climbing; 🌏 During the Asian time slot, it was brutally suppressed again. One coin, two markets, two completely opposite approaches to treatment.
⚔️ This is no longer just a simple fluctuation, but an open battle between two capital forces. Both buyers and sellers are giving their share; neither wants to let go first, and the market is torn apart like a tug-of-war.
🧐 But to be honest, my intuition leans more toward selling in Asia. After all, the Korean stock market has already fallen to that level, and the liquidity gap is obvious. It's highly likely that we'll need to draw blood from crypto assets to fill that big hole.
📉 So if the Asian session continues to face pressure, I won't be too surprised. This game isn't over yet; the key is whether the US market still has the strength to keep buying.The Korean stock market has been falling a bit alarmingly these past two days.
It fell nearly 11% in one day, and dropped over 12% intraday the next day.
Why is everyone so nervous?
Because the Korean stock market is a bit like a "smoke detector" in a shopping mall.
In 1997, South Korea had problems first, followed by the Asian financial crisis.
In 2000, South Korea's semiconductor industry first fell, and then the US internet bubble burst.
In 2008, the Korean stock market first collapsed, followed by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, triggering the global financial crisis.
And this time, it's AI's turn.
Over the past year, everyone believed AI chips were a sure win and thus frantically bought Samsung and SK Hynix.
Some people bought with their own money, some borrowed money to buy, and some directly bought double or triple leverage.
It's like a group of people squeezed onto one side of the same boat.
When the boat rises, everyone thinks they're an investment expert.
But once someone tried to get off the boat, it would start to tilt. Those who borrowed money couldn't hold on and were forced to sell, so the more they sold, the more the price dropped, and the more they sold, the more they sold.
Therefore, the period in 2026 is very likely to be called:
"The AI bubble is undergoing large-scale deleveraging for the first time."
But it cannot yet be said that the global financial crisis has arrived.
Because Korean companies are still making money, the economy hasn't collapsed, and for now, it's more like stocks have surged too aggressively before, only to suddenly hit the brakes suddenly.
What really needs to be seen next is whether this fire will reach American AI companies, TSMC, and global tech stocks.
If there is no spread, this is just a major correction for Korean AI stocks.
If it starts to spread—
So this time, South Korea might have sounded the alarm earlier than usual. $SNDK 🚨 AI Has Entered a New Phase—And Wall Street Is Rewarding Results, Not Hype.
The latest earnings from $MSFT and $META highlight a major shift in how investors are valuing AI.
$MSFT impressed the market by demonstrating measurable AI monetization.
📈 Azure growth accelerated.
☁️ Cloud revenue reached another major milestone.
📑 A large backlog of signed customer commitments reinforced confidence that today's AI investment is backed by tomorrow's revenue.
$META, despite reporting solid revenue growth, received a more cautious reaction.
💸 Heavy AI infrastructure spending continues to pressure free cash flow.
Without the same level of contracted AI revenue, investors remain focused on rising costs rather than future expectations.
The Key Takeaway
This isn't about which company has the "best" AI.
It's about which company can turn AI investment into measurable financial results.
Now attention shifts to the next earnings reports:
🛒 $AMZN — Can AWS maintain the pace and compete with Azure's AI momentum?
🍎 $AAPL — Can it deliver growth without relying on a large AI infrastructure narrative?
The AI race is evolving.
It's no longer just about building the biggest models.
It's about converting AI spending into sustainable revenue, stronger cash flow, and long-term profitability.

"SanDisk's stock price suddenly plunges??" 》
$SNDK After a two-day rally, the rapid weakening and collapse are not sudden negative news for individual stocks; the concentrated realization of multiple pressures is the core trigger.
At the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, three committee members voted in favor of rate hikes, and internal hawkish divisions far exceeded market expectations.
Expectations for easing rate cuts cooled rapidly, US Treasury yields rose, and valuations of high-valuation cycle tech stocks continued to be suppressed.
The storage sector itself is an interest rate-sensitive asset, and in a tightening liquidity environment, funds are the first to sell off these highly volatile assets.
The earlier short-term rebound exhausted all bullish sentiment, accumulating massive short-term profit-taking positions at high levels.
Yesterday, the stock surged over 25% in a single day, with extremely high turnover completing chip swaps, and arbitrage funds could collectively take profits and exit at any time.
SK Hynix's latest earnings report shows profits reaching a historic high, but overall data has failed to meet institutional expectations.
Leading storage companies' earnings fell short of expectations, directly dragging down confidence in the entire industry chain, weakening sector linkages and declining.
The market is beginning to be wary of the storage price hike cycle nearing its end, with flash memory price increases narrowing significantly in the third quarter.
The tight supply-demand balance in the industry is gradually loosening, and funds no longer blindly bet on the continuous upward cycle.
Coupled with the steady release of domestic storage capacity, long-term market share competition pressure is gradually emerging, squeezing long-term profit margins.
Tonight coincides with the close of the US stock market this week, and institutions generally choose to reduce positions to hedge risks, unwilling to hold positions through the weekend market closure.
PCE inflation data is about to be released, and funds are preemptively hedged against unknown risks brought by data fluctuations, with a wait-and-see sentiment spreading throughout the market.
Leveraged funds stamped and intensified the downward trend; after the rally weakened, bears took advantage of the pressure to suppress the market, making it difficult for the market to hold the support level.
This rebound is merely an oversold recovery rally; there is no new positive fundamental support, so a pullback is inevitable.
With multiple negative factors combined, the short-term fluctuating downward trend will continue for some time. $SKHYNIX $MU #PCE环比转负, GDP growth slows to 1.5% #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance falls short of expectations, but stock prices rebounded by 9% #美股加密标的承压, with coin price volatility affecting earnings reports Don't be fooled 👀 by a few green meme coin candlesticks.

Earlier, a small rally started from a low point, reaching the stage high of 0.001805 around 04:45 on 07/31, then entered a continuous oscillating pullback. It has now fallen back to around 0.00168, very close to the stage low of 0.001614;
As of now, the price has returned to the starting point of this round of rally, with the previous small gains largely giving back the rally, and the overall trend is weak downward.
Core technical indicator signals
Moving averages: The EMA and MA on the 5/10/20 periods are currently consolidating and slightly downward, with prices running just below all short-term moving averages. After the moving averages flattened overall, they turned downward, indicating that the 15-minute level upward momentum has completely exhausted and the market has entered a weak downward phase;
SAR indicator: The current SAR level is 0.001707, slightly above the current price. The price continues to move below the SAR point, indicating a bearish oscillation signal. The 0.0017~0.00172 range is the current short-term resistance level;
MACD indicator: DIF (-0.000012) has crossed below DEA (-0.000011) to form a death cross, and the MACD bars have turned slightly green, indicating that short-term downward momentum is slowly being released, with no signs of accelerated decline;
SUPERTREND indicator: The current value is 0.001720, which is the trendline position for this round of upward movement. The current price has already broken below this trendline.
Capacity performance
The 15-minute trading volume remains at an extremely low level of around 1.781 million RLS. Compared to the previous rally, the current pullback phase has not shown significant volume, indicating a shrinking volume and bearish decline. This indicates that there is no concentrated capital flight, but also no capital entering to take over. In the short term, a narrow bearish decline is likely to remain within the 0.0016~0.0017 range.
⚠️ The above is only an objective technical analysis and does not constitute any investment advice. These low-priced small coins fluctuate relatively smoothly during the shrinking volume and decline phase, but there will still be significant volatility when choosing direction, so the risks should not be ignored. 📊 $ZEC Contract Liquidation Update (July 31)

🔥 Market Indicator | July 31
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: coexistence of cooling inflation and slowing growth, with AI narratives undergoing intense divergence—the market now rewards not "burning money narratives" but "spending efficiency" and "real cloud revenue."
📉 PCE turns negative month-over-month, GDP growth slows to 1.5%: Inflation cools but growth is worrying
US June PCE price index fell 0.1% month-over-month, the first monthly decline since 2020. Core PCE year-over-year slightly dropped from 3.4% to 3.3%. Inflation cooling mainly benefited from oil price declines after the US and Iran reached a temporary ceasefire agreement.
Q2 GDP annualized quarter-over-quarter growth was only 1.5%, lower than Q1's 2.1%. However, private consumption plus investment growth, reflecting domestic demand, rebounded to 3.9%, the fastest since early 2023. Imports, inventories, and government spending dragged GDP, while consumption clearly warmed, and AI-driven corporate investment maintained high growth. The economy's "substance" is more solid than its "surface."
📈 Amazon cloud business explodes, after-hours up nearly 10%: AI spending pays off
Amazon Q2 revenue was $200.6 billion, up 20% year-over-year. AWS revenue was $42.2 billion, up 37%, the fastest growth since 2021. CEO Jassy stated AWS AI business annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion. Net profit was $62.6 billion, up 245% year-over-year. After-hours stock price surged nearly 10%.
The market ignored the capital expenditure increase to $220 billion, free cash flow turning negative $7.6 billion, and Q3 guidance slightly below expectations. AWS's explosive growth proves AI investment is paying off, contrasting sharply with Google's plunge after raising spending and Microsoft's surge after maintaining spending—the market rewards not spending itself but spending efficiency.
📊 Microsoft single-day market cap increase of $450 billion, setting a US stock record
Microsoft surged 15.5% on Thursday, the largest single-day gain since October 2008, with market cap increasing by $450 billion in one day, setting the largest single-day market cap gain record in US stock history. Microsoft's stock rose 15.51% in one day, with a market cap around $3.35 trillion. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also surged over 8%, ending a five-day losing streak. The consensus in capital markets is forming: AI winners are those who can convert computing power investment into real cloud revenue.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the same turning point: PCE turning negative and GDP slowing coexist, economic data is internally contradictory; Amazon proves AI investment can pay off with AWS's explosive growth and nearly 10% after-hours surge; Microsoft’s single-day market cap increase of $450 billion sets a US stock record—the market no longer rewards "burning money narratives" but "spending efficiency" and "real cloud revenue." The old AI valuation logic is collapsing, and new pricing power is forming. #PCE环比转负，GDP增速放缓至1.5%
#财报观察员：亚马逊指引不及预期，股价却反涨9%
#微软单日市值增近4500亿，创美股纪录 If you're still waiting for the "ten thousand coins flying together" knockoff season, you might need to reconsider this expectation. Crypto market maker Wintermute has just released a set of data revealing a brutal trend: market funds are concentrating at an unprecedented pace toward leading altcoins—a large number of small and mid-cap projects may never see their own "bull market" again. Three data points speak for themselves: In the first half of 2026, institutional clients accounted for 72% of Wintermute's OTC spot traffic, a record high. Institutions are dominating altcoin pricing, and their allocation preferences naturally favor top-tier, highly liquid, and compliant tokens—further accelerating capital concentration at the top. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin-denominated altcoin trading volume has approached its lowest level since 2021. The top ten non-stablecoin altcoins now account for 80.5% of the total altcoin market capitalization. Kaiko's data also confirms this trend—the trading volume share of the top ten altcoins rose from 50% a few months ago to 63%. Institutions move in and out quickly—typically reducing activity within about a day after a major price surge, while retail investors typically maintain it for about three days. Institutional capital tends to concentrate allocation to a few tokens and exit more quickly, meaning small- and mid-cap altcoins struggle to sustain inflows. The transmission chain of "Bitcoin rises, Ethereum rises, then altcoins rally" in past cycles may no longer apply in this cycle. When institutions become the dominant force#苹果第三财季业绩超预期, the stock price plunged sharply after hours
I think Apple's decision is the right one—yes, the AI wave has arrived in the first half of this year
Apple's products were swept up in a frenzy and sold out at one point, but this was followed by hardware price increases, especially memory
In the first half of the year, they sold inventory, but in the second half, they sold newly purchased memory. Costs increased and profits decreased, and if prices rose too high, no one would buy
Cook thought, I'm the global leader in mobile phones, the strongest smartphone ecosystem. If Hynix obediently supplies at the original price, then Hynix ignores him and even mocks him
No other options, memory has increased almost tenfold
A slight adjustment in the second half of the year is normal, since Changxin Technology has gone public, and memory prices should be repriced
This wave of Apple lowering sales is basically betting on memory price cuts, then pushing next year. Simply put, the memory is too high. Now, if I don't buy it, I'll wait for price cuts. Domestic phones are the same—all have rejected high memory offers, shrinking shipments and purchases for the second half of this year.$HYPE HYPE is tugged at $55: institutions enter, whales exit
On July 31, HYPE was quoted at $55.12, still consolidating within the seven-week range of $52.88-$70.
On the positive side, Japanese listed company Eole made its first purchase of HYPE (average price $57.15), planning to increase its holdings to $610,000 by the end of August. Yesterday, protocol fees reached $2.6 million, surpassing Uniswap V3, indicating solid fundamentals.
But selling pressure is also significant—Multicoin Capital unstook 1.07 million HYPE (worth $58.86 million) and transferred it to exchanges, while another whale is also taking profits.
Technically, it is under pressure, below the EMA50 ($58.45) and EMA200 ($62.15). Key support at $52.88; if breached, it may test $48-50.
Institutions buy, whales sell—who will win at $55? The answer will soon be clear. #PCE环比转负, GDP growth slows to 1.5% #财报观察员: Amazon's guidance falls short of expectations, yet its stock price rebounded by 9% #微软单日市值增近4500亿, setting a record $BTC $ETH in U.S. stocks The storage sector has gone crazy
The three storage giants: SanDisk +26%, SK Hynix +28%, Changxin also rose nearly 9%
After a month of decline, it finally showed some strength
But this rebound looks more like an oversold correction, with sentiment recovering
The storage cycle has already reached the latter half, so chasing highs is not cost-effective
It's okay to play short-term, but don't go all in Target locked. The crosshair inside the lens presses against the trigger guard of this deal—15 billion, straight trajectory, measurable wind speed.
I crouched beneath the disguised net, observing this credit sniping maneuver. A syndicate led by Morgan Stanley pledged $1.4 billion in bridge loans for Nexus data center developers, with the target being the Texas campus and a 1.6 GW self-owned gas power plant. This is no ordinary observation task; it is a textbook-level "credit for equity" tactical exercise.
Google's tactical moves are so beautiful they send chills down your spine. It did not directly bet 40 billion yuan on Anthropic, but instead used leasing guarantees and electricity fees as a cover, precisely penetrating risk layers to gain about 20% equity. Through the scope, it's like putting a bulletproof vest on someone else while only the muzzle is exposed—guaranteed breach of contract, locking upward. It doesn't even use its own ammunition depot, letting the bank crew load it and only bears the recoil when pulling the trigger.
Anthropic is changing shooting positions. Shifting from mobile cloud leasing operations to direct leasing of hard assets. The 10 GW plan was to build observation posts next to enemy ammunition depots. This shot is not aimed at short-term fluctuations, but at the commanding heights of AI computing power over the next five years. Lease refers to ballistics, electric power refers to range, and stability refers to accuracy.
But I scanned the entire battlefield situation, and in the shadows, other players were still lurking. The movement of stocks like XINTC is like a target just peeking out half a helmet from behind cover—it looks tempting, but you never know if the other side is bait or the real frontier. Market sentiment is biased, credit structure is temperature, and humidity is leverage. I adjusted the password position; the real indicator of this transaction was not the equity ratio, but the banking syndicate's range of the target of "AI power demand." The fact that they dare to invest 15 billion means the upcoming computing power arms race still has depth—not an ambush with a single shot, but a gradual advancement of occupation.
A sniper's rule is that before firing, you must confirm not whether you can hit, but where to retreat after penetration. Google has already embedded its retreat route into its equity structure, calculating this with calm precision, like calculating a trajectory. Credit becomes equity—this is not compromise, but a higher-dimensional lock-in. The replication template for AI infrastructure is already in shape—others shoot guns, you provide scopes, and in the end, the shooting range is yours.
The wind is in three or two. The distance is 1,800.
I put away my gun and left this battlefield to those still calculating the profit and loss ratio.🚨 The Market Just Received Two Very Different Signals.
The latest macro data didn't deliver a clear answer—it created two competing narratives.
June PCE inflation came in softer than expected, suggesting inflationary pressures continue to ease.
At the same time:
📉 GDP growth missed expectations.
📈 Consumer demand remained stronger than many anticipated.
That leaves investors caught between two interpretations:
✅ Lower inflation strengthens the case for easier monetary policy.
⚠️ Resilient demand gives the Fed reason to remain cautious about cutting rates too quickly.
The Market Reaction
📈 Stocks and crypto leaned optimistic.
$BTC held firm while equities extended higher.
📉 Bonds sent a different message.
Long-term Treasury yields moved higher as investors questioned whether inflation has truly been defeated.
Two markets.
Two very different outlooks.
The next inflation report could determine which one is reading the economy more accurately.
When stocks and bonds disagree, it's worth paying close attention.

#SoftPCEStrongDemand #AMZNMissesButRallies #MSFT450BInADay $BTC $ETH $SNDK MicroStrategy just dropped Q2 2026 earnings — and Bitcoin did the damage. 📉
Net loss: $8.32B. The flip from ∼$10B profit last year is almost entirely unrealized losses. BTC fell ∼14% in the quarter, from ∼$68K to ∼$58.6K. Under new accounting rules, that hit goes straight to the P&L.
But they didn’t sell to de-risk. They bought more.
Holdings hit a peak of 846,000 $BTC, +11% on the quarter. Latest filing: 843,775 BTC. Still the biggest corporate holder. YTD they’re up ∼25% in BTC terms.
New twist: the “BTC Monetization Plan.” Strategy sold ∼$218M of BTC this year to fund preferred dividends, with ∼$216M sold in early July. They can sell up to $1.25B if needed to cover dividends or build cash.
Balance sheet moves too: convertible debt down 18% to $6.7B. Dollar cash up 12% to $2.4B in Q2, now at $3.75B total — enough for 2+ years of preferred dividends/interest. They also bought back 288,930 shares of STRC for $25M. Goal: keep STRC near $99-$100. If it slips, more buybacks.
MSTR traded up ∼5% pre-earnings, flat AH around $97.
Bottom line: 2 things to watch now.
1. Does BTC rebound and give the balance sheet breathing room?
2. Can Strategy juggle dividends, debt, and cash without selling too much BTC?

🔥 Market Weather Vane | July 31
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: the coexistence of cooling inflation and slowing growth, and the AI narrative is undergoing intense divergence—the market rewards are no longer just "money-burning narratives," but "efficiency in spending money" and "real cloud revenue."
📉 PCE turned negative month-on-month, GDP growth slowed to 1.5%: inflation cooled but growth was worrying
The US June PCE price index fell 0.1% month-on-month, marking the first monthly decline since 2020. Core PCE year-on-year edged down from 3.4% to 3.3%. The cooling in inflation was mainly due to a drop in oil prices following the temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran.
On the same day, Q2 GDP annualized quarter-on-quarter growth was only 1.5%, lower than Q1's 2.1%. However, private consumption + investment, reflecting domestic demand, rebounded to 3.9%, the fastest since early 2023. Imports, inventories, and government spending dragged down GDP, while consumption clearly rebounded, and AI-driven corporate investment maintained high growth. The economy's "substance" is more solid than its "face."
📈 Amazon Web Services business explodes, rising nearly 10% after hours: AI spending has paid off
Amazon's Q2 revenue was $200.6 billion, up 20% year-on-year. AWS revenue was $42.2 billion, up 37% year-on-year, marking the fastest growth rate since 2021. CEO Jassi stated that AWS's AI business annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion. Net profit was $62.6 billion, a year-on-year surge of 245%. The stock price surged nearly 10% in after-hours trading.
The market ignored the capital expenditure increase to $220 billion, the negative $7.6 billion in free cash flow, and Q3 guidance slightly below expectations. AWS's explosive growth proves that AI investment is paying off, sharply contrasting with Google's plunge after raising spending and Microsoft's surging after maintaining spending—the market rewards not the spending itself, but the efficiency of the spending.
📊 Microsoft's market value increased by 450 billion in a single day, setting a new record for US stocks
On Thursday, Microsoft surged 15.5%, marking its largest single-day gain since October 2008, with its market value increasing by $450 billion in a single day and setting a new record for the largest single-day market cap growth in US stock history. Microsoft's stock price rose 15.51% in a single day, with a market capitalization of about $3.35 trillion. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also surged over 8%, ending a five-day losing streak. A consensus in the capital markets is forming: the winners in AI are companies that can turn computing power investment into real cloud revenue.

Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda recently made his hawkish stance clear, stating that the domestic economy is currently maintaining steady growth and there is no need for loose bottom-up measures. Institutions predict that inflation in the country will rise rapidly in the second half of fiscal year 2026, with year-on-year growth significantly exceeding the 2% target threshold, making the pressure of price rebound hard to ignore. Based on the dual factors of the economy and inflation, the central bank will continue to implement rate hikes, gradually tapering previous easing policies in line with real-time changes in prices and financial markets.
This news completely shatters the illusion of a market that is solely accommodating. Previously, both Japan and South Korea simultaneously sold off the dollar to intervene in the exchange rate, and now that Japan has confirmed its rate hike path, the underlying tone of global monetary tightening has not fundamentally changed. Even if US inflation data cools in the short term, central banks around the world will maintain tight policies based on local conditions, making it difficult for global funding costs to fall quickly.
For the crypto market, fluctuations in the US dollar and yen exchange rate will intensify market volatility, and bullish momentum previously supported by loose expectations will be continuously suppressed. Predicting market trends based solely on data from a single country can easily lead to misjudgments. With liquidity tightening across multiple countries worldwide, risk assets are unlikely to achieve sustained unilateral gains. Subsequent operations should remain cautious and avoid blindly chasing gains.
#日韩同日抛售美元护汇 Meta Platforms META's stock plunged 9% intraday, becoming one of the weakest performers among major tech heavyweights
Market sentiment: bearish
Key signal: Q2 net profit fell short of expectations, and the lower limit of the full-year capital expenditure guidance was raised
Analysis: Meta is highly sensitive to the macro advertising cycle. Against the backdrop of slowing macroeconomic growth, the high and expanding AI R&D investment squeezes cash flow and profit margins.
This has led to a very clear logic of capital withdrawing from tech stocks on earnings day by choosing the best to escape.
