Micron's explosive surge tonight's core logic: it's not a burst of positive news, but a violent correction of expectations
Tonight, Micron showed a strong recovery rally in a single day, leading the storage sector in gains. This surge did not bring any sudden major positive news; it was entirely a technical reversal driven by the combined forces of oversold valuation recovery + AI demand reconfirmation + short squeeze by bears, with a highly professional and clear logic.
1. Microsoft's earnings report strongly confirms the resilience of AI capital expenditure, completely shattering pessimistic expectations
The biggest recent market sell-off logic is "AI demand slowing and storage demand peaking."
Microsoft's earnings report offers the strongest rebuttal:
- AI capital expenditures are huge but cash flow is abundant
- AI cloud business continues to grow rapidly
- AI computing power + storage investment enables a real commercial closed-loop, monetizable, and cyclable business
The market instantly corrected its previously overly pessimistic forecast: demand for AI storage has not weakened, and previous concerns were about overtrading.
The AI data center storage logic has been restored, directly driving a rebound in Micron's valuation.
2. U.S. inflation data cools down, short-term easing of high interest rate pressure
PCE and GDP data weakened in the evening, and inflation did not continue to rebound, temporarily easing the extreme panic over "continued hawkish Fed stance and persistently high interest rates."
Long-term Treasury yields retreated, instantly easing valuation pressure on growth stocks.
For high-beta semiconductor stocks like Micron, improved liquidity expectations are the biggest short-term positive.
3. Deep oversold + heavy short positions trigger a strong short squeeze
During this round of Micron's continued decline, short positions have been accumulating, and market pessimism is at its peak.
The laws of the capital market are always consistent:
Extremely consistent bearish sentiment = could trigger a violent rebound at any time
When macro pressures ease and AI pessimistic expectations recover:
- Concentrated short covering
- Market makers are passive buyers for hedging
- Quantitative funds re-pursued their positions
Three types of funds poured in simultaneously, directly triggering a single-day dramatic reversal. That's why today's rebound was much stronger than a regular recovery.
4. Micron's fundamentals have not deteriorated; the decline is entirely due to emotional and expectation killing
This round of adjustment was a double blow to sentiment and valuation, rather than a collapse in fundamentals:
1. Micron's HBM shipments continue to ramp up, binding multiple major AI companies
2. The proportion of data center business continues to rise, with optimized high-margin structure
3. Multi-year long-term contract orders lock in performance for the next two years
4. The long-term upward logic of AI inference storage demand remains unchanged
Brief summary:
The previous decline was due to panic, long-term cyclical concerns, and macroeconomic suppression; Tonight's gains are due to a return to real fundamentals, a recovery in expectations, and a correction by bears.
5. Market Characterization: Oversold recovery, not a comprehensive trend reversal
A very crucial point:
This surge is a result of expectation correction after overselling + liquidity recovery + short squeeze market.
This is not the start of a new main rally.
Trapped positions above are heavy, and long-term capacity cycle pressure remains. The subsequent market will shift from a "one-sided sell-off" to a wide range of oscillations and structural recovery.
Whether it can reach new highs in the future depends on two key points:
1. Can AI capital spending continue to exceed expectations?
2. Can storage prices remain high without a month-on-month decline#After Micron's Crash: Is It the Bottom or Mid-Slope? $MU $AMD After three consecutive days of decline, the RSI entered the oversold zone, with orders near 495 being concentrated and trading volume expanding, indicating signs of large funds accumulating at low levels. Upside conditions: The rebound in the storage sector has spread to non-memory leaders, AMD has stabilized above 500 with increased volume, and moderate PCE data combined with a recovery in risk appetite. Downside conditions: Burry continues to increase SOXX short positions, PCE exceeded expectations combined with hawkish stance, rebounded on a one-day rally but then pulled back below 490. Failure Observation: If SOXX holds above the rebound high for two consecutive days and AMD's trading volume continues to expand, the bearish logic will be temporarily put on hold; Conversely, a high volume shrinkage is a relay signal.

This round of consecutive days of deep drawbacks in Micron Technology is not purely a technical correction, but rather a systematic valuation compression caused by four core logics: macro liquidity suppression, concerns over cyclical pricing, loosening of marginal AI expectations, and loosening of high-level chips. This is a double blow driven by a combination of downward fundamental expectations and the collapse of the capital structure.
1. High interest rates are prolonged, suppressing long-duration growth valuations
Micron is a typical high-beta, long-duration semiconductor asset, with its stock price closely tied to U.S. Treasury yields and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
The recent Federal Reserve meeting sent a clear signal: interest rates remain high, internal hawkish divisions have intensified, three committee members voted in favor of rate hikes, and the main theme of market trading has completely shifted from "rate cut expectations" to "high interest rates to stay longer."
Long-term interest rates fluctuated at high levels, directly suppressing the valuation center for tech growth. As the most resilient semiconductor cyclical track, the storage sector was the first to be exposed by capital cutting risk, leading to sustained valuation declines.
2. The market is pricing in ahead of the 2027 storage supply oversupply cycle
The core fundamental logic of this round of decline: the market no longer trades for "short-term shortages," but instead pre-priced forward capacity to release pressure.
The expansion of production at Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron—the three major foundries—continues to be implemented, with the industry unanimously expecting DRAM and NAND capacity to ramp up in 2027.
Funding concerns:
- The current ultra-high ASP (selling price) is unsustainable
- Gross margin peaked at a high level before retreating
- AI demand growth cannot offset the decline in the traditional storage cycle
Compared to pure NAND stocks, Micron's 70%+ revenue comes from DRAM, which has stronger cyclical attributes and a steeper decline.
3. AI capital spending loosens marginally, sentiment is being trampled
Previously, the market consistently priced AI storage at perpetual high growth, but recently the market has shown marginal pessimism:
- Some cloud providers have exposed idle computing power
- Expectations for a slowdown in AI capital expenditure growth are heating up
- The market is beginning to question whether the demand for AI inference storage is being overdrawn in a phase
Although fundamentals have not collapsed, expectations have shifted from extreme optimism to neutral caution. High-level growth stocks fear "lowering growth rate expectations," directly triggering collective reductions in institutional positions.
4. Excessive early gains, extremely fragile high-level chips
Micron followed the AI storage supercycle in the first half of the year, doubling and accumulating a large amount of unrealized profit.
In an environment of rising macro uncertainty and weakening sector sentiment:
- Collective stop-loss for quantitative trend funds
- Long positions taking profits surged in concentrated
- Bears continue to increase their positions
Multiple negative feedback points have led to consecutive negative declines and accelerated declines, ultimately resulting in a deeply oversold structure. $MU $SKHYNIX $SAMSUNG #美光暴跌后: Is it at the bottom or halfway up the mountain? **Setting the tone:** BTC is struggling like a dead fish in a narrow range, but US tokenized products are drawing blood.
The fear index is 28, and market sentiment is as cold as a morgue. At $64,764, the price rose 1.31% in 24 hours, but the volume ratio data is missing—indicating the main players are **playing dead**.
**Where did the money go? **
Let's look at OKX's US stock tokenization sector:
XSOXL (3x long on semiconductor) 24h +36.25%, XSNDK (3x short on NASDAQ) +34.26%, with total turnover of $100 million 🔴
This wave of leveraged funds flowed into US stocks, draining BTC liquidity. Strategy just lost $8.2 billion in Q2, and even institutions can't hold on.
**What should I do? **
1. Don't expect BTC to hit 70,000 in the short term—US earnings season + Fed rate meeting, no time to manage the crypto world.
2. Watch the 62,000 support level; if it is broken, the fear index could drop below 20.
3. **For light positions, wait for below 60,000 to buy in batches; for heavy positions, pray no more crashes**—otherwise, you're just collecting the market's dead.
**Chive Resonance:**
You hold BTC day and night, while others trade 3x and go long, and US stocks go 34% in a day—it's not that crypto is ineffective, it's that money is too cheap, and wherever it rises, it sells quickly. 💀Same drop, different speed
Put the data together and get a sense of it:
Bitcoin fell 54% — in 268 days
Silver fell 54% — after 169 days
SanDisk (SNDK) fell 55% — after 36 days
SK Hynix fell 53% — after 34 days
Similarly, semiconductors have seen a halved-level pullback, moving seven to eight times faster than crypto and precious metals.
From 268 days to 34 days, the intensity of this round of storage adjustments is truly impressive.Semiconductor Rebound Strongly Today: Trend Reversal or Oversold Repair?
Look at MU and SNDK stocks—they've surged over 25%, very strong, with rising prices and increasing volume—truly eye-opening.
On July 30, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged 9% in a single day, Micron Technology (MU) rose 17%, SanDisk (SNDK) rose 24%, Lam Research surged 23%, and AMD and Intel gained over 14%. After weeks of consecutive sharp declines, this rebound came quickly and fiercely.
The core question is simple: is it a trend reversal, or an oversold rebound?
1. The trigger for the rebound: Microsoft's "responsible" AI narrative.
Microsoft's earnings report directly ignited the match that sparked the market.
Capital expenditure grew by 70%, but management emphasized that free cash flow is performing well and will not enter a cash burn mode. At the same time, Samsung stated that memory shortages will persist into next year, reiterating that the industry fundamentals remain strong.
In market terms: "AI is burning money, but it hasn't burned cash flow." ”
This has brought relief to investors. Microsoft's cloud revenue growth does not align with the premise of overwhelming AI spending growth and unsustainable cash flow.
2. Core evidence: The rebound is an oversold repair, not a trend reversal!
We can see three data points on the side of the "oversold rebound":
First, the drop before the rebound was too extreme.
SK Hynix's ADR fell below its issue price, SanDisk was halved from its peak a month ago, and Micron plunged over 40% from its peak.
KOSPI triggered seven circuit breakers in a single month, and one in 30 Korean adults faces the risk of liquidation. A drop of this level inevitably comes with a violent rebound—the deeper the fall, the fiercer the jump.
Second, the bottom signal near the end of deleveraging.
Usually, once those with overly leveraged give up, the market is at the bottom.
South Korea's financial regulators have urgently tightened oversight of leveraged ETFs, raising the guarantee amount from 10 million won to 30 million won. A large number of leveraged assets have been forcibly cleared, and deleveraging is nearing its end, often serving as one of the most reliable signals of a phased bottom.
Third, the fundamentals of the storage industry have not deteriorated.
TrendForce expects global semiconductor storage to reach $889.3 billion by 2026 and to increase to $1.28 trillion by 2027, a year-on-year increase of 44%.
Samsung stated that even with increased production, memory shortages will persist into next year. Micron has 16 irrevocable long-term contract contracts worth over $22 billion, with all capacity sold out by 2026.
3. Comprehensive assessment of the STS system: rebound ≠ reversal.
This is the judgment issued by my stock trading system. If we break it down using the STS six-dimensional system:
Multi-dimensional: Performance (fundamentals intact), Sentiment (recovery after extreme panic)—2
Short selling dimensions: macro (rate hike expectations remain), management (CEO selling at high levels) — 2 options
Neutral dimension: Expectations (huge divergence), volume and price (rebound not yet overcome key resistance) — 2
Composite signal: Neutral and observant; the rebound is a technical correction, not a trend reversal.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has risen about 111% this year, and even after this sharp decline, it still ranks among the top major global indices.
The fundamental narrative of the storage supercycle has not been broken, but the process of valuation contraction is not yet complete.
Looking back at MU's stock price, it has rebounded to the 0.618 level, which is around 920, approaching the planned short price level.
If MU's price rebounds to the 880-920 range but volume is blocked, consider shorting the market; Stop loss at 950; The first target is 780-800.
Other storage chip stocks like SNDK and SK Hynix have mostly rebounded from oversold conditions rather than trend reversals.
Plan your trades, trade your plans!The core logic behind SanDisk's sharp rise after its crash: from bearish crushing to a violent reversal in value revaluation
After more than a month of continuous decline, SanDisk experienced a strong rebound in late July, with a single-day increase of nearly 20%, becoming the most eye-catching stock in this round of US storage sector rally. This phenomenon is not accidental, but the result of previous bearish over-the-tops, sustained explosive demand for AI storage, better-than-expected performance, and capital market resonance.
1. The underlying logic behind the crash: Bear crushing under multiple negative factors
SanDisk's crash began in late June 2026, driven by concerns over peak AI storage demand and concentrated short bets:
1. Concerns over AI capital expenditure peaking: Meta reportedly plans to sell idle AI computing power, which the market interprets as leading cloud providers experiencing a temporary surplus of computing power. The growth rate of future GPU/HBM/enterprise SSD purchases may slow, directly damaging SanDisk's long-term growth expectations for its core product, NAND flash.
2. Rising expectations of oversupply: The South Korean government, together with Samsung/SK Hynix, launched a $520 billion ten-year expansion plan, significantly increasing NAND+HBM capacity. The market unanimously expects global flash memory capacity to be released in 2027, but the current high NAND prices and ultra-high gross margins cannot be sustained.
3. Concentrated Short Bets: Citron Capital and other institutions publicly shorted, believing SanDisk's pricing was fundamentally flawed and treating it as a long-term high moat asset similar to NVIDIA, but in reality, NAND flash is closer to a cyclical commodity. At the same time, Western Digital sold all its SanDisk common shares, which was interpreted as an "insider fleeing early," further intensifying market panic.
4. Valuation bubble burst: SanDisk's cumulative gains in the first half of the year exceeded 850%, making it one of the strongest S&P 500 constituents. On the first trading day of Q3, institutions concentrated profits without new catalysts, while the storage sector simultaneously stamped out of the market.
Amid multiple negative factors, SanDisk's stock price fell from a June high of $2,375 to around $1,000 in late July, a cumulative decline of over 55%, wiping out nearly $200 billion in market value, making it one of the weakest performers in the U.S. semiconductor sector.
2. Core Drivers of the Surge: Short Covering and Fundamental Reversal
SanDisk's surge was not driven by a single factor, but was the result of short covering, better-than-expected earnings, sustained explosive demand for AI storage, and resonance in the capital market:
1. Short covering triggers a short squeeze: During SanDisk's crash, the proportion of short positions soared from about 4% to 7.5%, with the corresponding unrealized loss on short positions reaching approximately $3 billion. When bullish signals appear in the market, bears are forced to concentrate on covering, triggering a short squeeze that further amplifies gains.
2. Performance Exceeds Expectations Demonstrates Demand Resilience: SanDisk's revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $5.95 billion, far exceeding analysts' forecast of $4.72 billion; adjusted earnings per share were $23.41, also well above the market expectation of $14.51. Among them, data center business revenue reached $1.467 billion, up 645% year-on-year and 233% quarter-on-quarter, becoming the core driver of revenue growth. This performance validates the resilience of AI storage demand and dispells market concerns about AI capital spending peaking.
3. Explosive demand for AI storage: The demand for high-bandwidth storage (HBM) and NAND flash for large model training and inference is growing exponentially, with a single AI training server consuming ten times the storage of a regular server. By 2026, global cloud providers will spend over $830 billion on AI infrastructure, with more than half of the budget going to storage. As a global leader in NAND flash, SanDisk has deeply benefited from the AI data center construction boom.
4. Institutions collectively raise target price: Goldman Sachs sharply raised SanDisk's target price from $1,200 to $2,200, an increase of 83.3% over the previous target. Institutions such as Citi and Jefferies have also raised SanDisk's target prices, further strengthening market confidence in SanTech's future growth.
5. Inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index Brings Passive Capital Inflows: SanDisk was officially included in the Nasdaq-100 Index in April 2026, with over 200 investment products worldwide tracking the index and assets under management exceeding $600 billion. This adjustment triggered a large influx of institutional funds, providing additional support for the stock price.
3. The Essence of the Surge: The Violent Correction of Market Expectations
SanDisk's surge is essentially a violent correction of market expectations. During the crash, the market excessively amplified concerns about AI capital spending peaking and expectations of oversupply, while ignoring the long-term growth logic of AI storage demand and SanDisk's performance resilience. When earnings beat expectations to prove demand resilience, institutions collectively raise target prices, and short covering triggers a short squeeze, market expectations quickly reverse, triggering a violent rebound.
4. Future Outlook: The long-term value of AI storage still needs to be verified
SanDisk's surge essentially reflects the market's renewed recognition of the long-term value of AI storage. In the past, the market focused on competition over computing power chips; Now, with the explosive demand for AI inference, the importance of storage is becoming increasingly prominent. As a global leader in NAND flash, SanDisk has deeply benefited from the AI data center construction boom, and its performance growth is sustainable.
However, we also need to be wary of the risks of short-term fluctuations. SanDisk's stock price has already surged significantly, with a high valuation. If future AI storage demand falls short of expectations or industry capacity expansion exceeds expectations, the stock price may pull back. However, in the long run, the market space for AI storage remains vast, and as an industry leader, SanDisk is expected to continue benefiting from the development of the AI sector.

Real capital usually only enters after the stampede ends.#Fed3Dissents
🚨 The most notable takeaway from the Fed meeting isn't the interest rate itself, but the division within the ranks.
The Fed kept interest rates unchanged, exactly as the market expected.
However, three Fed officials voted against the decision—marking the first time since 1993 that there have been three dissenting votes at an FOMC meeting.
📌 This indicates that:
• There is no longer a consensus within the Fed regarding the timing of policy easing.
• Upcoming data—such as CPI, PCE, and Nonfarm Payrolls—will carry more weight than ever.
• Expectations for rate cuts could shift rapidly, triggering significant volatility for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
The market is entering a phase where a single piece of economic data can alter the macroeconomic narrative overnight.Current extreme divergence between bulls and bears: the storage chip sector experienced a violent one-day rebound, while 13F disclosures revealed Burry increasing his short positions on $NVDA at $210.28 and on $SOXX at $535.83, with these two forces clashing head-on within the same time window.
The core driver of the rebound is earnings repair expectations. Microsoft's cloud revenue surpassing 100 billion dispelled market concerns about AI investments failing to monetize, while SanDisk and the storage chip sector bottomed out from oversold levels, with short-term short covering amplifying the gains. This type of rebound is characterized by rapid speed but questionable sustainability.
Burry's short logic is based on valuation mean reversion. He simultaneously holds short positions in Tesla, Palantir, and QQQ, overall betting on the mean reversion of overvalued tech assets, with NVDA and SOXX as core targets within this framework. The 13F disclosed add-on prices show he continued to increase positions during the rebound, not building positions at low levels.
Trigger conditions for the upside scenario: earnings season continues to exceed expectations, AI capital expenditures convert into actual revenue, short covering forms positive feedback, and NVDA effectively breaks through previous highs. The variable to watch is whether leading cloud providers revise upward their GPU procurement guidance. The invalidation signal is a rapid volume contraction at high levels and the inability of gains to spread to small and mid-cap semiconductor stocks.
Trigger conditions for the downside scenario: the rebound is a one-day event, chasing funds get trapped at highs, PCE data exceeds expectations combined with hawkish Fed statements suppressing risk appetite, and NVDA falls below Burry's add-on price levels. The variable to watch is tonight's PCE reading and Fed voter statements. The invalidation signal is the storage sector maintaining strength and SOXX holding rebound highs for two consecutive days.
The consolidation scenario also holds: internal differentiation within the AI story (Microsoft strong, Meta guidance disappointing), funds rotating within sectors rather than an overall trend upward, NVDA repeatedly oscillating near previous highs, with Burry's shorts neither forced out nor profitable.
The most important variables to watch in the next 24 hours: whether tonight's PCE data strengthens rate hike expectations, whether NVDA can maintain volume after the rebound, and the directional change in implied volatility in the SOXX options market.
#英伟达、谷歌为AI数据中心债务提供巨额担保 #银行业联名施压，CLARITY稳定币条款或再生变 US stocks opened higher, and tech stocks rebounded strongly. On the market front, the Nasdaq led the gains in the three major indices 📈, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged, Nvidia (NVDA) rose over 2%, and chip stocks such as Micron, AMD, and Broadcom all rose, with the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) 📈 and Semiconductor ETF (SMH 📈) becoming the main entry points for capital replenishment.
There are three core drivers behind this rebound: First, weakening latest economic data, a sharp rise in market expectations for Fed rate cuts, and falling U.S. Treasury yields directly lowering the discount rate of growth stocks, easing valuations for tech stocks; Second, strong demand for AI infrastructure, with enterprise computing power and storage spending cycles still expanding, and chip stocks, as "AI water sellers," are the first to benefit; Third, previous momentum trading deleveraging has released most of the risk, hedge funds' long semiconductor positions have dropped to record lows, and the oversold rebound has a technical foundation.
Short-term outlook: Dual drivers of rate cut expectations + oversold replacement, bullish on tech stocks 📈, SMH is more elastic than QQQ.
Medium- and long-term views: Quarterly earnings reports are a key touchstone. If the capital expenditure returns of major AI investors like Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon fall short of expectations, the crowded Nasdaq may face 📉 a correction risk. Citigroup also warned that capital flows in large-cap U.S. stocks remain overwhelmingly bearish, and position repositioning is not yet complete, so it is not advisable to relax too soon.

#美股 #纳指100 #科技股 #财报季$MMT From early yesterday morning until now, the increase has already exceeded 50%, which is quite astonishing. From what I remember, this coin also surged once in mid-July, then quickly fell back down. So here's the question: will this time be like last time? To answer this question, we need to refer to some data. —————————————————— Let's look at its contract data. It can be seen that as its price rises, its contract long-short ratio is rapidly declining. However, its contract open interest is rapidly increasing. This indicates that as its price rises, more and more funds are shorting it in the market. Let's take a look at its recent contract data. It can be seen that its current contract long-short ratio is even lower than the value on July 11. At the same time, its open interest is higher than the figure on July 11. Why should we look at the data from July 11? Because on July 11th, $MMT experienced a situation similar to now. Let's take a look at the specific candlestick chart at that time. It can be seen that on that day, $MMT peaked and then plummeted. The situation back then and now are actually quite similar: both surged rapidly in a short period of time, and the gains were huge. Contract data changes are similar; this time's changes are basically exactly the same as the previous one. So, this time will probably be the same as last time, meaning it will probably happen in the next couple of days$SNDK SanDisk | Full analysis of post-market rally
⚠️ Risk warning: Market analysis is only and does not constitute investment advice. After-hours liquidity was thin and volatility distortion was high; after-hours gains did not match the next day's opening price. With the August 5 earnings report approaching, the risk of a sharp rise and pullback is high.
Current market status
The regular close has already completed a significant recovery, and after the close, there was another violent upward momentum; After-hours trading volume is much lower than during the main daytime session, liquidity is thin, and a small number of orders can generate huge gains, with price spreads widening significantly.
1. Market Attributes: No independent major announcements from breaking news companies; it is a continuation of regular daily gains + post-market liquidity premium + short residual short covering, combined with post-market short squeeze driven by sentiment spread in the storage sector.
2. Key Reality: After-hours price distortion is very common. Often, a sharp rise after trading will clearly give back part of the gains at the next day's opening. Do not directly treat after-hours prices as valid confirmation of the price level.
3. Macroeconomic Background: Inflation data cooled, the market lowered the probability of a rate hike in September, U.S. Treasury yields declined, and valuation pressure on growth stocks eased; The price hikes for AI-SSD and NAND in the storage sector have been repriced by capital.
4. Event window: As the August 5 earnings report approaches, funds are competing on optimistic expectations, while after-hours trading is expected to be ahead of expectations.
Afterwards, the four-layer drive is lifted
1. Core trading aspect: short position residual covering + insufficient after-hours liquidity amplifying gains
During the main daytime session, a large number of short positions have already been closed; After the close, there were few participating traders and thin selling positions. A small number of long buy orders could quickly push the price higher, resulting in a rise driven by amplified liquidity, not massive institutional capital entering the market.
2. Sector sentiment continues
Philadelphia Semiconductor and Micron MU were strong intraday, while bullish sentiment in the storage sector continued into after-hours; Demand for AI enterprise-grade SSDs and expectations of NAND contract price increases continue to be traded by funds.
3. Macro dividends continue
GDP and core PCE inflation have cooled, and the market is betting on a weakening Fed tightening, while high-β storage cycle stocks enjoy valuation recovery.
4. Earnings report expectations and games
The market is already betting on the August 5 earnings report, optimistic about pricing NAND prices remaining strong, and data center business revenue continuing to grow high.
Major risks cannot be ignored at present
1. Post-market pulse ≠ trend confirmation: Poor liquidity after the market opens, limited price reference value, and most of the post-market gains are likely to be given back the next day.
2. In the short term, it has entered a severe overbought zone, with huge accumulation of profit-taking, and sharp fluctuations and pullbacks could occur at any time.
3. Financial report risk: If the August 5 financial report falls short of market expectations for revenue and guidance, it is very likely that a "buy expectation and sell fact" plunge sharply.
4. Medium- and long-term supply concerns (Changxin's expansion) have not been completely eliminated, still suppressing the sector's valuation ceiling.

⚠️ Must be confirmed with high volume during the main trading session; Only the after-hours rally is ineffective; A high-volume rally is suitable for reducing positions on high prices; chasing rallies is strictly prohibited.
Scenario (2): Post-market gains pull back, high-level oscillation (highest probability of the benchmark)
The next day, the market opened and gave back part of the post-market impulse gains, oscillating in the 1200-1300 range to digest profit-taking positions, awaiting the August 5 earnings release.
The post-market rally is preferably seen as a window for rebound reduction and is not suitable for chasing in.
Scenario 3: Failed recovery and a second weakening phase
US Treasury yields rebounded again, or earnings guidance fell short of expectations, effectively breaking below the 1180 support level, and the market returned to weak volatility.
Key points for practical operation
1. After-hours market liquidity is poor; do not use after-hours prices as the basis for opening positions; always follow the volume and price during the regular US trading session.
2. Holding strategy: After hours, rally near 1280-1300 stagnant stock, reduce positions in batches during the main session the next day; Betting rebound stop loss is set below 1180.
3. Watershed: During the main session, volume increased and the price stabilized at 1300, with a strengthening short-term rebound; Effectively breaking below 1180, this round of strong recovery has ended.
4. Key points to watch next: The August 5 earnings report and next quarter's guidance will determine the medium-term direction of the storage sector.U.S. stocks suddenly collectively revive: It's not because of overly positive news, but because the shorts have no way out
Overnight, the market's tone abruptly changed
The night before, the market was still heatedly debating whether the AI bubble would burst, but the next day U.S. stocks collectively rebounded, staging a dramatic "collective resurrection" rally. Among them, SanDisk's stock price surged nearly 20% at one point, CoreWeave rose nearly 18%, Western Digital and Microsoft gained about 15%, and tech giants like Micron, AMD, Intel, and Marvell all saw their stock prices rise more than 10% collectively.
This sharp contrast made investors exclaim: "Stocks thrown into the trash yesterday were suddenly all snatched back today."
Microsoft: Positive cycle validation of AI investment
The market initially linked this rebound to Google's earnings report, but in reality, the true confidence boost came from the earnings performance of Microsoft and Meta.
In the past, the market had doubts about large-scale investments in AI, worrying whether hundreds of billions poured into AI data centers would ultimately yield returns. Although Google's cloud business saw explosive growth, it was simultaneously expanding capital expenditures through large-scale financing; Meta's AI spending nearly exhausted its free cash flow. Microsoft, however, delivered a completely different answer:
- Microsoft's cloud quarterly revenue approached $60 billion, with Azure's annual revenue surpassing $100 billion;
- Although quarterly capital expenditures reached $41 billion, operating cash flow was still $55.4 billion, and free cash flow was close to $20 billion.
This means Microsoft is not just burning money while painting rosy pictures for the market, but has built a clear positive cycle: first purchasing chips, servers, and storage, then selling computing power to enterprise customers, who continuously pay through Azure, Office, and Copilot, ultimately returning cash back to Microsoft. Microsoft’s actual performance proves that AI capital expenditure is not necessarily a bottomless pit but can be a "money printing machine that takes in chips and spits out cash."
The second key: Economic data alleviates inflation anxiety
Since Microsoft's earnings were released earlier, why did the market only suddenly surge an hour or two before the open? The answer is the market was still waiting for the second key—the U.S. economic data.
At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. released GDP and PCE data: Q2 GDP was only 1.5%, lower than the previous quarter; overall PCE in June declined month-over-month, and core PCE did not accelerate further.
Although this data is not perfect, it temporarily dispelled fears of runaway inflation and rising interest rates.
Short squeeze: violent correction after a plunge
Microsoft proved AI can make money, and the PCE data temporarily suppressed interest rate risks. These two forces converged, coupled with the semiconductor index falling nearly 30% from its peak, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging over 5% the previous day, causing massive financing positions, quant funds, and trend-following capital to continuously withdraw.
Under these circumstances, shorts had to cover, options market makers had to buy hedges, and quant funds had to chase positions again, naturally leading to a fierce rebound. This is why the biggest gainers that day were not the most fundamentally stable Nvidia, but the previously hardest-hit SanDisk, Western Digital, Micron, Intel, and CoreWeave.
Not a full reversal, but an expectation adjustment
This rebound does not mean the market suddenly believes all tech companies have no problems, but Microsoft proved AI investment can indeed generate cash returns, prompting the market to withdraw its most pessimistic assumptions.
Notably, Google, Meta, and Qualcomm's stock prices are still falling, and long-term U.S. Treasury yields remain high. This looks more like a violent correction after the worst expectations were overturned, rather than all risks having disappeared.
What truly determines whether this rebound can continue is whether Apple, Amazon, and more cloud providers can continue to prove that the money spent on AI can ultimately be earned back. $SNDK $META $GOOGL #微软逆势下调资本开支，盘后涨8.5% #财报观察员：微软云收入破千亿，Meta却指引拉胯——AI故事分化了？ #While everyone's pupils were drawn to that HYPE bearish candlestick that slid from 61 to 55, my silk gloves had already completed the third round of card rotation.
Multicoin's 395K "open" shift was a deliberate sprinkling of sequin powder at the edge of the stage—making the audience think they had found the focus. The real trump card is hidden in the 7-day unlock period of time: 1.97M HYPE ($108 million) flew out of its staking cage like a pigeon that had waited a century and a half before it finally flapped, heading straight for Coinbase Prime's secret door. You think it's selling pressure? It was the colorful scarf I threw with my right hand so my left hand could insert the real cards into the bottom of the pile.
While retail investors are screaming at that 10% drop, I am playing the "real cash flow" card reported by Grayscale. Priority fee income exceeds $5 million, buyback ammo piles up to $30 million—that's the magnet under the table. The market is a visual error: when the market maker pulls the market, the audience keeps their eyes on the left, but actual turnover happens on the right. XAVGO collaboration? That was the Ace of Spades from another deck, deliberately showing half of it so you could guess the suit.
At this moment, HYPE's candlestick line looked like a playing card with its corners bent to me. The person with the folded corner knows where it will stop, but you can only see the ghosting caused by the angle.Currently, the storage sector's surge and SK Hynix's weak rebound have led to pricing splits. The core conflict lies in the liquidity premium of on-chain US tokens and the cross-market tug-of-war between the Korean spot market's tolerance for high valuations.
The US storage sector rebounded over 15%, and while $SKHYNIX token's on-chain trading volume surpassed that of BTC's native token, it also posted the lowest rebound within the sector, reflecting the punishment capital has for failing to meet extremely high earnings expectations.
The primary driving factors are the relationship between US Treasury yields and the return of liquidity to US stocks; second, the arbitrage space between on-chain synthetic assets and the opening spot market of Korean stocks; and finally, the suppression of emerging market assets by macro US dollar indices.
Upside scenario: If the US dollar index weakens and the US semiconductor sector continues to strengthen, Korean stocks will trigger a catch-up rally at the open. If SK Hynix's spot price breaks through the $155 resistance level, it will confirm the on-chain long arbitrage logic is valid.
The failure signal for this upward judgment is that the price falls below $135, meaning the market has completely abandoned expectations for a catch-up rally.
Downside scenario: If US Treasury yields surge again and inflows into inverse ETFs increase, the market will reprice the valuation premium of HBM. If SK Hynix falls below the $130 support, it will trigger long liquidations on-chain and a search for a bottom at $114.
The failure signal for this downside judgment is a strong price breakout above $155, indicating that short covering has taken control.
The most important variable to watch in the next 24 hours is the actual SK Hynix spot trading volume after the Korean market opens, and whether US Treasury yields stabilize around 4.2%.

One-sentence logic:
If $Hype has almost secured the leading position in Perp Dex, then Lighter is the runner-up in my mind. The reasons are its cutting-edge zk technology, capital backing, and compliance potential. If Perp Dex is a must-have sector, then $hype + $lit is my answer.
Core advantages:
1. The most advanced technology in the sector
Lighter possesses the most advanced technology in the entire sector. Hyper only guarantees transparency, but Lighter uses zk technology to prove the accuracy of both the process and the results.
Admittedly, through transparency, a determined person can deduce Hyper’s accuracy, so transparency is not the main point.
The real value of this mathematical proof lies in cross-chain, privacy, and institutional compliance. Because this zk mathematical proof guarantees accuracy, it can greatly reduce the costs of cross-chain, privacy, and compliance.
So, for retail investors, Hyper is already good enough, but Lighter better fits the definition of institutional-grade on-chain financial infrastructure.
2. Top-tier investor background
I mentioned on Twitter before that Lighter’s investor background can no longer be described as just luxurious:
Kevin Warsh: Former Federal Reserve Chairman
David Sacks: Former White House AI & Crypto Czar, known as the crypto czar, PayPal mafia
Katie Haun: Former U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor, a16z partner, founder of Haun Ventures
Vlad Tenev: Robinhood founder
Peter Thiel: Absolutely a big shot, core of PayPal mafia, long-term close relationship with Musk, one of Trump’s major donors, today’s Vice President Pence was brought into the White House by him
Looking at this list, a reasonable explanation seems to be that these big shots missed out on Hyper, so they chose to bet on Lighter.
Of course, looking at the founder’s credentials also makes this choice very reasonable:
Harvard, Olympiad gold medalist, Citadel — almost a mirror image of Hyper’s founder.
3. Support from Robinhood
Everyone knows Robinhood is an investor in Lighter, but what people don’t know is that Lighter’s founder was a mentor to Robinhood’s founder early in their career, so they have maintained a deep friendship over the long term.
Because of this, Robinhood Chain will make Lighter Core the default Perp engine.
At the same time, Lighter also adopts Robinhood’s zero-fee model. According to data on perpdexlist, for major trading pairs like BTC and ETH, when executing trades of 10k, 100k, and 1M, users actually incur the lowest costs.
4. Strongest compliance potential
Lighter’s founder announced joining the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee in July 2026.
Lighter’s corporate entity is a U.S.-registered C-corp and is actively responding to U.S. compliance and regulatory trends.
These two points, combined with the profound investor background, indicate that Hyper’s biggest shortcoming — compliance — may well be one of Lighter’s strengths.
5. Hyper’s demonstration effect
This is actually very important because the biggest competitor, Hyper, is so outstanding that it forces Lighter not to be obviously inferior to Hyper on many levels, such as buyback and burn, and future token unlock caps.
Reverse logic:
1. Technology paradox: strongest technology does not necessarily win the market
This was already argued when writing about Hyper; Hyper’s pragmatic “good enough” philosophy may be the market’s best fit currently. Lighter’s appeal at the institutional level still needs to be verified.
-----------------------------------------------
In conclusion:
I don’t want to say Lighter will surpass Hyper in the future, but I think Lighter forms a perfect hedge and complement to Hyper, both in terms of technological philosophy and compliance regulation.
It’s clear that the U.S. political and business groups are betting on several crypto fields: Perp Dex, prediction markets, stablecoins. We have no reason not to follow. And the combination of Hyper + Lighter is, in my opinion, the most stable and reasonable configuration currently.[In-depth Analysis of Four Core Drivers of U.S. Stock Market Rallies
1. Sentiment Recovery: Previous days of consecutive days of sharp declines have fully released market panic, and oversold technical patterns have triggered bottom-fishing funds entering the market;
2. Short squeeze: The market accumulates a large number of short orders, triggering stop-loss orders during a rebound, further amplifying the upward momentum;
3. Improved expectations: Inflation concerns are cooling marginally, and institutions are reassessing the Fed's timing window for rate cuts;
4. Financial Report Catalyst: Recovery in performance expectations for the storage industry chain, AI computing power demand logic regaining capital recognition, SanDisk leading a significant rebound in the storage sector.
Multiple institutions warn: A short-term rebound does not mean the bear market is over; repeated fluctuations remain the norm, and chasing highs carries significant risks.
#美股行情 #美联储 #美光暴跌后: Is it at the bottom or halfway up the mountain? #财报观察员: Microsoft's cloud revenue surpasses 100 billion, but Meta's guidance is disappointing—Is the AI story diverging? #美联储三票主张加息, tonight's PCE is a new highlight $SNDK Previously, I said the idea of $BTC dropping to 40,000 was unrealistic; on-chain data is the best proof.
Many people fantasize about another epic drop, assuming massive chips are panicking and fleeing, but the data for long-term holders is completely different:
Long-term token holding addresses have held over 16.65 million tokens, accounting for 83% of the circulating supply, setting a new historical high. Even with the ongoing volatility and grinding session, the chips are still firmly held in the hands of coin holders, with no large-scale sell-off.
To deeply push to the extreme low rumored by the market, a large amount of long-term chips must be sold concentratively; the market over the past ten months has not met this condition at all. Unless a major sudden negative event occurs, it is very difficult to achieve.
Although the current market is not a complete bottom, the massive amount of chips locked up means the bottom won't be as deep as everyone expected. This is also a characteristic of market maturity: chips accumulate over time, and the downside space for each bear market gradually narrows. #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard BTC is still hovering at 64,800, with a range of 0.07%, and the daily candlestick looks like it stopped on an ECG. But look at the square—SNDK jumped 20+ in one day, storage stocks took off collectively, and ARM also rose 10 points. Traditional sectors have taken on the vibe of altcoins.
Even funnier, a guy over there used 33x leverage to buy SUI, and a 0.3% pullback lost 10 points. The market remains unmoved, funds rotate wildly across sectors, retail investors pass leaflets to each other in group chats, and new investors fight desperately on high leverage.
I've seen this script more than once. When the market is stagnant with shrinking volume, the faster the smaller sector rotation is, the more likely it is to be drained. When SNDK stops rising, money will flow back into Bitcoin. What's the rush? Just sit and watch.
$BTC $SNDK $ETHWhy is SpaceX still falling? Where is the bottom?
This is not about sentiment; this is arithmetic.
Revenue in 2025 is projected at $18.7 billion, yet operating losses reach as high as $2.6 billion. Starlink is profitable, but the launch business and xAI are bleeding cash wildly.
Morningstar's DCF model gives a fair value of $780 billion. However, the IPO pricing is anchored at $1.75 trillion — a difference equivalent to a Tesla.
30% of the float is shorted, and the unlocking wave has not truly arrived yet. Shorts have already booked $7 billion in paper profits, and you're still asking "where is the bottom?"
The bottom? When the price-to-sales ratio falls from 90x back below 30x, when Starship is no longer a "concept" but "cash flow," when Musk no longer needs to "debunk" valuation rumors with posts on the X platform —
then, we can talk about bottom fishing again Apple's Q2 revenue of $109.4 billion and EPS beating expectations failed to prevent a nearly 5% drop in after-hours trading. The core conflict lies in losses in both services and revenue in China, triggering a contraction in risk appetite for overcrowded high-valuation positions amid high interest rates.
Although a 50.1% gross margin and a 22% year-on-year iPhone growth prove the premium capability of the hardware base, the after-hours decline indicates the market's very low tolerance for flaws. A 40x PE valuation is highly vulnerable to growth structure imbalances in the current high interest rate environment.
The current factors driving market pricing are: concerns about growth ceilings caused by lower-than-expected revenue from service and Greater China businesses, profit-taking from crowded long positions, and valuation premium corrections lacking AI narrative support.
The trigger for the upside scenario is management's clear revision of service revenue guidance during the regular session conference call, or providing quantitative evidence of a recovery in demand in China. At this point, the variable to watch is the strength of the recovery within the 30 minutes before the regular session opens. If the price can quickly return to more than half of the decline, an upward move is valid; Its failure signal is that after the regular session opens, trading volume increases abnormally and the price continues to break below levels.
The trigger for a downward scenario is that institutional analysts collectively lower their EPS forecasts for the next two quarters due to intensified competition in China. At this point, the variable to watch is the capital flow indicator, i.e., whether institutional positions are shifting toward low-PE defensive sectors; Its failure signal is a reversal in overall market risk appetite due to improved macro liquidity expectations.
If macro inflation data in the coming days falls significantly short of expectations, causing market expectations for rate cuts to be significantly accelerated, then the logic of valuation suppression at $AAPL 40x PE will directly fail.
The most important variable to watch over the next seven days is the direction of rating adjustments by major institutions for the stock, as well as the net outflow of regular block trades.

⚠️ Based solely on objective market analysis, the risk of volatility in US stocks is extremely high
1. Core Trigger: Microsoft's Better-than-Expected Financial Report
Microsoft Azure cloud revenue surged 43%, capital expenditure increased by 70%, and it stated that AI investment has sustainable cash flow, alleviating market fears of "cloud vendors cutting storage purchases." The logic of AI storage demand has been regained by capital.
2. Technical rebound after overselling
In the previous month, the stock price sharply retreated from $2,354 to $1,015, with a large number of short positions taking profits and bottom-fishing funds entering the market. This was a recovery after severe oversold conditions, with Micron, Western Digital, and SK Hynix all surging simultaneously, and the storage sector rebounding collectively.
3. Industry fundamentals are expected to rebound
Market repricing NAND price increases remain resilient, major companies continue to control production and prioritize supplying AI enterprise-grade SSDs; Samsung and SK Hynix reported strong earnings, restoring expectations for a strong memory cycle boom.
4. Transaction-level capital drive
Some hedge funds released pressure to sell their holdings, and high turnover led to short-term liquidity rally; With the August 5th financial report approaching, capital is competing on favorable financial reports to position in advance.
In short
This rally was driven by Microsoft's earnings report restoring confidence in AI + a previously deeply oversold rebound + a reversal in sentiment in the storage sector. The real future trend will still depend on SanDisk's own financial report guidance on August 5.
$SNDK $SKHYNIX #美军空袭伊朗, oil prices surged and then retreated
I'm Ci Ge. With US airstrikes on Iran, oil prices are soaring and retreating, and the market is sending out a key signal.
The U.S. military is conducting airstrikes against Iran, the oil-producing city of Abadan has been hit, and explosions have been heard in Bandar Abbas, the gateway city of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal revealed that the U.S. military has drafted an intensive strike plan lasting 10 to 14 days pending Trump's decision. However, oil prices fell instead of rising, with WTI falling from $88 to $82.75. The market's pricing for the "upgrade" has begun to dulle; while fighting is a blow, the market no longer believes it will reach the point of blockading the strait.
Why are oil prices falling instead of rising?
The core of geopolitical conflict pricing is not missiles, but whether energy supplies have been substantially interrupted. Trump set a time limit of 10 to 14 days for airstrikes, and the market sees this as a limited round of punitive strikes, not full-scale war. As long as there is no substantial supply cut off in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will find it difficult to sustain a sustained surge in prices. Half a month of continuous geopolitical shocks has already dulled market panic. The first time oil prices rose 7%, the second rose 3%, and by the third time, the market began to weaken. The diplomatic ties between Oman and Iran remain intact; as long as there is a negotiation window, the war premium could be repaid at any time.
Impact on BTC
In the short term, the decline in oil prices has lowered inflation expectations, easing pressure on Fed rate hikes, which is positive for risk assets. BTC rebounded from below 64,000 to near 65,000. However, geopolitical uncertainty remains, and the market will not go all out at this level.
In the medium term, geopolitical volatility continues to drain fiat credibility. If the U.S. military's 10 to 14-day strike plan is implemented, it would mean tens of billions of dollars in military spending, all financed through debt. Every missile launch pushes up the U.S. debt ceiling, and every increase dilutes the dollar's purchasing power. As a non-sovereign asset, BTC continues to benefit from this chain.
SK Hynix continues to hold long positions, and short-term oil price fluctuations have not changed the fundamental short-selling situation in the storage sector. Choi Tae-won's first personal purchase, reinforcing expectations of a storage supply shortage, and Microsoft's earnings confirm AI demand—the triple drivers remain effective. For a long position at 1046.62, move the stop loss up to 950, with a target between 1200 and 1250.
Ci Ge finished speaking. The war premium is weakening, fiat credibility is being depleted, and BTC's long-term narrative is being reinforced. Hold onto your position. Think carefully. $BTC $ETH $SNDK Short-term corrections are becoming the real test for the market – are weak positions being liquidated before they are being liquidated, or have they already entered a liquidation phase? Currently, the market is showing uniform downward pressure. $BTC was $63,790, $ETH $1,899, $SOL $73.38, $XRP $1.071, and $DOGE $0.06999, with major stocks recording a simultaneous decline of 0.2% to 0.7%. $HYPE $53.92 and $ZEC $464.55 are also consistently in bearish territory. While this level of correction is not shocking, it is important that all stocks move by similar magnitudes. This suggests that derivatives position squeezing or bulk risk reduction may be in effect rather than individual materials. - Money Behavior Analysis: Real demand accumulates buy orders at specific price levels even during adjustment periods. Looking at the current order book, defensive buyouts are confirmed at BTC at $63,000, ETH at $1,850, and SOL at $72, but these are thinner than last week. Meanwhile, OKB at $85.36 and HYSee that? It's like you got a blueprint for a skyline landmark designed by Zaha Hadid, with the main structure using the most advanced carbon fiber trusses, military-certified seismic resistance—but the opening price free-falls straight from the skyscraper's top floor, smashing through the issuance price's podium floor. $XNFLX The "building's" load-bearing walls are clearly welded shut with $1.6 billion worth of Pentagon steel beams, and the foundation is deeply anchored 80 meters below the launch pad, yet the market is tearing off its exterior insulation. The 29% short position is like the tower crane counterweight hanging on the rooftop, and the August lock-up expiration is the load-bearing column about to be blasted. No matter how beautiful the whitepaper is, every concrete strength report in the construction log passes, but the buying demand simply isn't enough to power the building's operating elevators. Good company equals good stock? Structural engineers only recognize load distribution and concrete curing time. Arms contracts confirm the moat's width, but the discounted cash flow model still hides the depth of lock-up period earth backfill. The foundation hasn't cracked, but the renovation crew has already fled. I'm watching the building's expansion joints—they're peeling off floor by floor from the $225 high-rise, like glass curtain walls cracking from thermal expansion and contraction. Before new supports arrive, any large-span steel structure can only rely on its own weight to maintain balance. Trend? No, the unloading rate is exceeding the design limit. #SpaceX1.6BDeal The US chip sector plunged 22% in a single month, while $BTC and $ETH surprisingly held steady in the recent July data. The Philadelphia semiconductor index plummeted, Nvidia and a group of underlings collectively collapsed, and some institutions were crying for their parents. In contrast, in the crypto world, Da Bing 2Bing not only failed to follow the decline but quietly closed with a bullish candlestick. Can you believe this scene? Last August, the band fell 11%, the August the year before that dropped 14%. Looking back, every August since 2022 has been a close to a bearish period, so now the whole internet is shouting that the August curse is about to strike again. Historical laws don't lie, but I want to say that patterns are meant to be broken. Sisters, keep the chip stocks crashing like that—what does this big bing mean? This shows that institutions' risk-averse logic is changing. Previously, it was selling coins to buy stocks; now, selling stocks to hold onto stocks. This signal is more true than any technical indicator. Of course, I'm not saying August will definitely rise. Don't get carried away, don't chase highs, don't go all in on bullish candles. But this time, I don't think there's to panic so much. The worse the US stock market, the stronger the crypto world gets. This July has already proven it. In August, just hold on and watch the show. If it really drops, pick up chips. If it doesn't drop, just hold onto it and don't mess around. #加密行情回暖, Bitcoin rises #美股全线走高, crypto stocks lead the #芯片股反弹. Short positions in U.S. stocks hit a record high $COIN Earnings fell short of expectations, dropping over 7% in after-hours trading. On the same night, Microsoft and Amazon beat expectations and pushed the Nasdaq up 3.58%. Despite tech stocks rallying across the board, COIN bucked the trend and plunged, creating a rare divergence. The current pricing logic for US stock funds is clear: profitability comes first, and pure crypto narrative premiums continue to be compressed amid persistently high interest rates. If subsequent BTC trading volume fails to drive a revision of COIN's revenue guidance for next quarter, this valuation discount could further widen. Watch whether COIN can hold the after-hours low during the regular session the next day; if it falls below it, it confirms a systematic reduction in crypto exposure.
#SpaceX获 $1.6B US military contract, stock price plunges and sparks two sides of debate #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard #美光暴跌后: Is it the bottom or the midpoint?The core drivers behind SOXL's rise
1. Microsoft's earnings report ignites confidence in AI computing power
The direct reason for Microsoft's stock price surge is the better-than-expected growth of its Azure business. This sends a key signal to the market: massive capital expenditures on AI infrastructure are turning into tangible profit growth. In contrast, Meta, which also released its earnings report the same day, saw its stock plunge 91% due to a 91% drop in free cash flow. The divergence between the two has been described by analysts as "a story of two AI investment strategies"—Microsoft increased profits while spending heavily, while Meta let costs erode profits. Microsoft's impressive performance has injected confidence into the entire AI computing power industry chain, directly driving a boom in the semiconductor sector.
2. The semiconductor sector shifted from "extreme deleveraging" to "retaliatory replenishment."
In the weeks prior, the semiconductor sector had undergone intense deleveraging. SOXL has fallen more than 50% since its June 22 high, with a retracement of as much as 67%. Goldman Sachs data shows that global hedge fund total leverage remains at the 93rd percentile over the past five years. When Microsoft's positive signals appeared, market sentiment shifted from panic selling to short covering and retaliatory buying, combined with SOXL's triple leverage effect, creating a huge upward explosive momentum.
3. The fundamentals of the semiconductor industry remain strong
From an industry fundamental perspective, the global semiconductor sector is experiencing a new wave of price increases. Nearly 20 analog and power semiconductor companies began raising prices in July, with increases ranging from 10% to 25%. The price increase trend has expanded from memory chips to logic chips, analog chips, and wafer foundry segments. Global semiconductor revenue in the first quarter of 2026 is expected to reach approximately $299 billion, a year-on-year increase of about 79%. AI chip demand remains strong, and the semiconductor cycle remains undenied.
---
3. Future Trends and Key Variables
1. Sustainability of AI capital expenditure—the biggest macro variable
The biggest external variable for SOXL in the next 12 months is the sustainability of AI infrastructure construction. Whether hyperscale cloud providers (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta) slow down AI-related capital spending will directly determine the direction of semiconductor demand. Wolfe Research strategists expect AI chip demand to continue exceeding supply at least until 2028; However, some believe that current valuations have partially exhausted performance in the second half of 2026, and any sign of slowing AI capital spending could trigger a second bottom.
2. The "Daily Reset Trap" of Leveraged ETFs
SOXL tracks three times the daily return of the ICE Semiconductor Index, rather than three times the cumulative return over a period. The fund readjusts its leverage exposure after each trading day's close. This means:
· In highly volatile markets, even if the underlying index ultimately remains flat, SOXL may still incur losses due to "volatility erosion";
· Long-term holding of SOXL and long-term holding of underlying chip stocks have completely different investment logic.
SOXL's beta coefficient reaches as high as 12.07, meaning its volatility is more than 12 times that of the overall market. The 52-week price range is from $22.57 to $302, with the current price in the middle of the range. Looking purely at price history, there is no clear directional signal.
3. Key technical positions
From a technical perspective, SOXL's short-term resistance is near $117-118; if it breaks through, it could point toward the $160-$200 range; Key support below is at $86 (a recent low); a break below could further test the $70-80 range.
4. Cautious signals from the options market
The SOXL put/call option ratio expiring November 2026 is as high as 22.68, indicating that the options trading desk is heavily hedging for possible volatility in the fall. This suggests that professional investors remain cautious about SOXL's direction in the coming months.

4. Important Risk Warnings
SOXL is a high-leveraged, high-volatility short-term trading tool, not an investment product suited for long-term holding. On July 29, SOXL plunged 16% in a single day, compared to about 30% in the previous month. After dropping 63% from its peak, SOXL needs about a 170% increase to return to its previous level. This asymmetry of "easy to fall, hard to rise" is precisely the harsh price leveraged ETFs pay during trending declines.
---
Summary
SOXL's surge on July 31, 2026, was the result of Microsoft's earnings report beating expectations and igniting confidence in AI computing power, the semiconductor sector's shift from extreme deleveraging to reboundary replenishment, and the triple leverage amplification effect. Future trends will mainly depend on the sustainability of AI capital spending, market volatility levels, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path. Given SOXL's high volatility and daily reset mechanism, investors need to fully understand its short-term trading nature and potential drawdown risks. $SNDK The driving force behind this rally is likely a technical rebound combined with short liquidations, with a large amount of call options from U.S. institutions forming a gamma squeeze.

Here is a simple analysis and prediction for this **xSPCX/USDT** daily chart:
## 📉 Current Trend: **Downtrend / Choppy Consolidation (Bearish)**
* **The Big Picture:** The price took a big fall from its peak near **$137.66** down to a bottom of **$XSPCX 107.19**. Although it tried to bounce up to **$XSPCX 118.94**, the sellers quickly pushed it back down to **$112.85**.
* **Moving Averages:**
* **MA5:** 113.53
* **MA10:** 115.07
* *The current price ($112.85) is sitting below both moving averages. This means sellers still have control, and the market is struggling to build upward momentum.*

*(Disclaimer: This is for educational analysis, not financial advice. Always manage your risk!)* The first shot in the AI arms race has been fired: whoever proves the input-output ratio first will take the valuation premium. After the US Eastern Market on July 29, 2026, Microsoft and Meta almost simultaneously released their earnings reports. The contrast was sharp: Microsoft Azure's annualized revenue officially surpassed $100 billion, its capital expenditure guidance was "indirectly" lowered, and its stock price surged about 8.5% in after-hours trading; Meta's revenue slightly exceeded expectations, but its Q3 guidance was weak and free cash flow was nearly exhausted, causing a sharp drop in after-hours trading. The market instantly shifted from a frenzy about "unlimited AI investment" to a focus on "input-output efficiency." Is it a performance gap, or is it a sign that the AI story is beginning to diverge? Microsoft: From "demand far exceeding supply" to "proactive calibration of pace" FY2026Q4 (ending June) revenue was about $90 billion, up 18% year-on-year, with full-year revenue of about $331.8 billion. The standout was Azure: quarterly growth of about 43% (exceeding expectations), with annualized revenue surpassing $100 billion for the first time. Microsoft 365 Copilot has surpassed 30 million paid seats, and commercial residual performance obligations (RPO) have surged 84% year-over-year to about $678 billion—these figures prove that enterprise customers' real demand for AI and cloud is accelerating, not just a bubble. More importantly, capital expenditure. Previously, the market expected a calendar year CapEx of about $190 billion by 2026, but Microsoft ultimately set a guidance of about $175 billion. On the surface, it is a downward adjustment, but in essence, it is an accounting adjustment (such as changes in the service life of data centers and office buildings).Here is a simple breakdown of what this chart shows and where the price might go next.
## 📉 Current Trend: **Downtrend (Bearish)**
* **The Big Picture:** The price peaked around **$HYPE 76.97** and has been steadily dropping down to **$HYPE 55.25**.
* **Moving Averages:** The price is below all major lines:
* **MA5:** 56.04
* **MA10:** 57.36
* **MA20:** 60.40
* *When the price sits below these lines, it means seller momentum is currently stronger than buyers.*
## 🔮 Prediction & Key Levels
### 1. Short-Term Floor (Support): **$52.84**
* **What to expect:** The price recently hit a low at **$52.84**. This is your key support level.
* **If it stays above $52.84:** It could bounce slightly toward **$56.00 – $57.50** to test the MA5/MA10 resistance.
### 2. Bearish Risk (If it Breaks Down)
* **If it breaks below $52.84:** The downward trend will likely continue down toward **$48.00 - $50.00**.
## 💡 Summary
> **Overall Outlook:** **Slightly risky / Bearish.**
> * **If you are looking to buy:** It's safer to wait until the price breaks back *above* the **$57.50 - $60.00** level or shows a clear bounce off $52.84 with strong buy volume.
>
* **If you already hold:** Keep a close eye on **$HYPE 52.84** as a line in the sand.

There's no big player, and contract shortness has nothing to do with it. Arbitrageurs will erase the spread between the market and off-exchange prices, and the funding rate won't helpSanDisk (SNDK)
1. Microsoft's earnings report is the core catalyst
Microsoft's earnings report on cloud business far exceeded expectations, while also signaling "controllable AI capital expenditure and positive free cash flow," dispelling market panic over cloud vendors scaling back storage purchases. Earlier, the market worried that excessive AI spending would lead to storage order cuts, but after the earnings were released, the storage sector collectively rebounded in revenge.
2. Supported by industry news
Samsung announced a surge in chip profits and predicted that the memory shortage would continue into 2028, reinforcing expectations for a NAND flash price hike cycle.
3. Technically, oversold rebound
SanDisk has experienced several consecutive days of sharp corrections and is currently in a short-term oversold state, with funds replenishing the storage sector. The same sector surged across the board: Micron +17%, Western Digital +14-15%, Seagate +13%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged over 8%, ending a continuous downward trend.
Risk points
1. Although it surged in a single day, the stock price is still quite far from this year's high, indicating a recovery rather than a confirmed reversal.
2. The market heavily depends on cloud providers' capital expenditure expectations. If major companies lower their AI spending guidance going forward, the sector will come under pressure again.
3. Huge short-term gains, high risk of intraday volatility and pullbacks.
Sector linkage
Storage ETFs surged nearly 16%; Semiconductor equipment and computing chips strengthened simultaneously; The US stock market was driven by Microsoft, with the Nasdaq surging 2.78% and risk appetite recovering. #sndk Stop using the crypto world's mindset of "rebound when it drops, short when it rises" to copy US stocks. US market capital is not the weak traders in the crypto world.
Do you really think that after playing a few rounds of hundredfold leverage in the "air pool" of daily insertion and spinning, and battling a few wild market makers with weak capital, you have become a trading master who has figured out the laws of liquidity? Recently, a wave of crypto players riding the wave of "stock tokenization" rushed into US stocks with stablecoins, hoping to "lecture" traditional capital, but these past couple of days have probably been beaten down by Wall Street's relentless financial season frenzy, leaving them completely unable to find a way to go.
The underlying logic of US stocks simply doesn't follow the naive 'mean reversion' and 'technical indicators' set by the crypto world. In crypto, you're used to shouting "Buy (BTD)" when a market crashes, because you know there might be a big player pulling up and restructuring behind you; You're used to blindly shorting when prices surge, because you think air coins will eventually collapse due to liquidity exhaustion.
But in the US stock market, this "crypto smart mindset" is simply asking for death:
You see a tech stock drop 10%, excitedly use a tokenized channel to open full leverage to bottom-fish, only to be triggered by a downward revision of a financial report and trigger a ruthless half-year decline. There's no so-called "dog farm drawing door rebound" to save you. You see those giants overvalued, cleverly "short by touching the top," sorry, but the endless backdrop of 401k pensions, passive index funds, and hundreds of billions of buybacks from companies behind Wall Street will act like a relentless roadroller, buying right at the open every day, emotionlessly squeezing your short positions to the point of liquidation.
Wake up. Those market makers and merchants in the crypto world have only a few coins in hand; when big players throw tens of millions of dollars, the market becomes shaky and can only rely on malicious insertion to buy long and short blows; The capital behind U.S. stocks is the cold-blooded giants holding trillions in assets, with algorithms precise to the microsecond, and even direct access to central bank discount windows. They have the leverage and patience to use a "dull knife to cut flesh" long-term trends, grinding your bargaining chips into worthless while trying to speculate through "crypto industry unconventional methods."
If you just want quick money and dopamine, I advise you to go back to your altcoins and meme pools. In front of a true traditional capital elephant, the tokenized fractional shares you hold are nothing compared to cookie crumbs stuck between their teeth. #韩股波动剧烈引监管介入, the finance minister apologized for leveraged ETFs $BTC $SKHYNIX Microsoft, Apple, Meta, and Amazon's recent earnings reports overall indicate that AI demand remains strong.
Microsoft's Azure cloud business growth exceeded expectations, with AI business continuing rapid growth; Amazon AWS maintains steady growth and continues to expand AI infrastructure investments; Apple's performance exceeded expectations, with stable service business and iPhone performance; although Meta's capital expenditures increased further, it also reflects its ongoing large-scale investment in AI computing power construction.
For SK Hynix, this means that demand for AI servers, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and DDR5 high-end storage remains robust. The four major tech companies have not signaled any reduction in AI investment; instead, they continue to increase investments in data centers and AI infrastructure, which will continue to support HBM demand and be beneficial to Hynix's future performance.
In the short term, stock prices may still fluctuate due to sentiment and profit-taking, but fundamentally, the AI industry chain's prosperity has not changed. As a leading HBM company, Hynix's long-term benefit logic remains solid. #微软逆势下调资本开支，盘后涨8.5% 📈 Microsoft's counter-trend capital expenditure cut sparks the market: How did cost-cutting become a booster for the stock price?
In the latest update just released, Microsoft announced a downward revision of its capital expenditure forecast for this fiscal year, completely opposite to the current trend of tech giants collectively pouring money into expanding capacity. The news triggered an 8.5% surge in after-hours trading, sending a significant shockwave through the entire US tech sector.
Why does "spending less" win such market approval?
First, it reassures investors about profitability: In the past two years, tech companies have been heavily investing in AI infrastructure and data centers, raising market concerns about long investment cycles and uncertain returns. Microsoft's proactive spending cut signals to the market that it will prioritize investment efficiency going forward, increasing the certainty of profits.
Second, it indirectly shows that Microsoft's earlier investments have entered a harvest phase: There is no longer a need to spend massively to secure positions; the existing computing power and cloud service capacity can cover upcoming business growth needs, highlighting its resilience against economic cycles.
This move sends a complex signal to the market.
The entire tech sector is now betting on the speed of AI business implementation. Microsoft's choice offers another industry reference: competitiveness is not about burning more money; companies that balance input and output are more favored by capital during cyclical fluctuations. Of course, it remains to be seen whether the spending cut will affect its long-term competitiveness in AI, especially as peers continue to heavily invest. Balancing short-term profits and long-term advantages will be a common challenge for tech giants going forward. $ETH $XSOXL rebounded 24% in one day after falling from 168 to 86, currently stuck near 115 just below the MA5 resistance at 118.60. This position is the key checkpoint to judge the nature of this round of rebound. The core contradiction lies in: the fundamental catalyst (Microsoft Azure growth of 43%) is real, but structural pressures (unfinished deleveraging, Fed hawkish divergence) are also real.
Let's clarify the market facts first. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose more than 8% in one day, ending a five-day losing streak; the memory ETF surged nearly 16%; SanDisk rose over 25%, Micron Technology and SK Hynix both rose over 15%. The direct fuel for this rebound is short covering, combined with Microsoft's earnings dispelling concerns about AI investment yielding no returns. This is driven by sentiment repair, with concentrated momentum but questionable sustainability.
In terms of driving factors, short covering ranks first because the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has dropped about 25% from its high, and the extreme oversold condition itself has accumulated a large amount of covering demand. Microsoft's earnings come second, with Azure's 43% growth marking the fastest pace in four years, directly changing the market's pricing logic on whether AI capital expenditure can generate returns. Samsung's chip profits soaring 250 times and Lam Research raising guidance rank third, reinforcing the narrative of a supply-demand gap in memory.
Trigger conditions for the upward scenario: $XSOXL closes firmly above 118.60 (MA5) with increased volume; the next target is 135 (MA10), which is a previously dense trading area during the decline and will have strong selling pressure. The trigger variable is whether Apple and Amazon's after-hours earnings can replicate Microsoft's AI return logic. The invalidation signal is the stock price falling instead of rising after earnings release, meaning the Microsoft effect is an isolated case rather than a sector consensus.
Trigger conditions for the downward scenario: price encounters selling pressure in the 118.60-125 range and then falls back to test the psychological support at 100-105. If 100 is broken, the previous low of 86.30 will come back into view, at which point the daily decay effect of the 3x leverage will accelerate net asset erosion. The trigger variable is the systematic CTA selling pointed out by Goldman Sachs—hedge fund total leverage remains at the 93rd percentile over five years, with a potential $15.7 billion sell-off release in the coming week. This number means that even if fundamentals improve, there is still systemic downward pressure on the capital flow level.
The Fed variable cannot be ignored. The July rate decision was maintained with a 9:3 vote, but the 3 votes for a rate hike represent the largest internal division since 2016, and the September window remains open. The 30-year US Treasury yield has risen to the highest level since 2007, which structurally suppresses high-valuation tech and semiconductor sectors, contrary to the direction of single-day earnings catalysts.
The structural characteristics of 3x leveraged products require special attention at this time. A single-day 24% gain will be quickly eroded by the daily compounding mechanism in a volatile market. Even if the directional judgment is correct, timing and rhythm errors will significantly amplify losses.
The most important observation variables in the next 24-48 hours: whether Apple and Amazon earnings can validate the AI capital expenditure return logic; whether $XSOXL can close firmly above 118.60; and the volume changes of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index without new catalysts—shrinking volume means the covering momentum is exhausted, reducing the probability of rebound continuation.
#美光暴跌后：是底部还是半山腰？ #韩股波动剧烈引监管介入，财长为杠杆ETF道歉22:20, $XMSFT was still up 13.04%. After hours, this was not just about "cutting capital expenditures": Microsoft raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast from about $190 billion to about $175 billion, clearly stating during the call that the usage life of data centers and office buildings has been extended from 15 years to 25 years, with more leases shifting from financial leasing to operating leases. Excluding this impact, investment expectations remain unchanged.
Real money elsewhere: quarterly revenue of $90 billion, Azure grew 43%, and full-year Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time. Demand still exceeds supply, and new capacity can be quickly monetized—this is why the market is willing to raise valuations.
Don't mistake accounting standards for balance sheet reduction. The rise is supported by earnings, but the 13% gap also raises the risk of chasing prices. This does not constitute investment advice.
#微软逆势下调资本开支, it rose 8.5% #微软财报 #AI资本开支 #美股盘后 in after-hours tradingTelegram founder Pavel Durov just responded that Russia directly labeled him as a terrorist. The reason? Simply because he refused the government's surveillance and censorship demands. This plot feels even more intense than the crypto world. A social software developer is directly branded as a terrorist for not cooperating with mass surveillance. This is the most outrageous thing I've seen this year, bar none. $TON is actually quite stable today, it hasn't really crashed. I saw some people in the community panicking, wondering if they should liquidate and run. But I think this actually proves one thing. Say it loud. If he can withstand pressure at the national level, what else can make him bow down? Durov was also targeted in France before, and now Russia. He doesn't please either side, but he just won't give in. This kind of stubborn spirit is really rare in the crypto space. If even Telegram can't hold that gate, how many platforms can? The $TON ecosystem is actually quite active now, with mini-games like Notcoin and Dogs bringing wave after wave of users in. As long as Telegram isn't truly cut off, $TON's foundation remains. Russia's move this time might cause short-term selling pressure emotionally, but in the long run, it's a plus. I'm not saying to bottom-fish right now. Stay steady and watch how the on-chain data moves in the next few days. If the whales haven't fled, panic selling by retail investors could actually be an opportunity. Don't chase highs. And don't get scared out. In this space, projects that can hold the bottom line are already few and far between #加密行情回暖，比特币走高 #芯片股反弹，美股空头仓 The market remained flat over the past two hours, but the differences in KOLs' positions were even clearer.

CryptoGodJohn compared this to the summer of 2020, believing that even if it drops another 5%–10%, the mid-term accumulation logic remains unchanged, planning to allocate 60%–70% of funds to core holdings like BTC, SOL, and HYPE, with only 10%–20% reserved for high-risk coins; This isn't about going all-in on a rebound, but about using a portfolio strategy to withstand volatility.

Next, let's see if BTC can recover 65,000, then decide whether core positions continue to add or bears get the pullback first. #BTC #ETH #SUI Opinions and information are compiled only and do not constitute investment adviceHere is a plain English breakdown of the **GRVT/USDT** daily chart and what it means for price action:
## ⚡ Current Situation: Brand-New Token Listing Spike
* **Fresh Launch:** This is a brand-new token listing (TGE/listing day). There is only one giant green candlestick on the daily chart with no moving averages (MA5, MA10, and MA20 are empty).
* **Massive Initial Pump:** The token launched from its low of **$GRVT 0.0500** and surged up to a high of **$GRVT 0.3485** before pulling back to **$0.2347** (+369.42% overall).
* **Price Rejection:** The long upper wick reaching toward **$0.3485** shows heavy selling or profit-taking as soon as the price hit that top.
## 🎯 Key Price Levels to Watch
| Level Type | Price Range | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| **All-Time High Resistance (Ceiling)** | **$0.3485** | The top level reached at launch. Buyers must break above this to trigger a new rally. |
| **First Resistance** | **$0.2500** | A psychological level right above current price action. |
| **Immediate Support (Floor)** | **$0.2000** | A key level to see if early buyers defend the current range. |
| **Listing Low (Bottom Floor)** | **$0.0500** | The launch price floor. |
## 🔮 Prediction & Scenarios
1. **Most Likely Scenario (Cool-Off & Volatile Consolidation):**
* Newly listed crypto tokens almost always experience high volatility within their first 24 to 48 hours.
* Expect the price to slide lower or trade sideways between **$0.1500** and **$0.2500** as early airdrop claimers and early buyers lock in their profits.
2. **Second Wave Breakout:**
* If volume picks up again and buyers defend the **$0.2000** level, the price could make another run to re-test the **$GRVT 0.3000 – $0.3485** high.
> ⚠️ **Caution:** Newly listed tokens carry extreme risk and can swing 30%–50% in a matter of minutes. Avoid chasing huge green candles without strict stop-loss protection!
> I just scanned the square, and it's all about the SNDK incident.
A genius who isn't a genius opened long SNDK but forgot to set a stop-loss rate. When I came back, I found it was overwhelmed, leaving only one forced trade email. Radish Head said, "500 to see," halved the Sage's 1800 purchase, and now I'm losing a lot.
Honestly, I'm very familiar with this scenario—BTC slowly climbed up at 64,900, with a fluctuation of less than 0.3%, and volume shrinking to 4,376 coins. Bitcoin can hold steady, but altcoins can't. SNDK, a leading stock that surged early on, is treated like an ATM in the stock market battle.
At this level, bullish investors fear being hit by the knife, short sellers fear rebounds. My view: wait until SNDK drops to the point where no one dares to buy the bottom, then look back at Bing's face.
$BTC $ETH $SNDKWhen it comes to the most stable long-term sector right now, RWA definitely ranks among the top, but the internal gaps within the tracks are absurdly large.
Treasury tokenization is at its peak. $ONDO and $HBAR are rising slowly thanks to bonds tied to US Treasuries and institutional funds entering the market, showing strong resilience in volatile markets. The reason is simple: overseas asset management institutions are investing real money to buy bond assets, with case after case of implementation one after another.
In contrast, the real estate and real estate on-chain that everyone had hoped for had basically stalled. Real estate procedures are complicated and rights confirmation difficult, so traditional institutions dare not test the waters lightly. The story sounds promising, but its implementation remains a distant prospect.
So don't blindly follow the trend of building RWA; just focus on mature asset tokenization targets like government bonds and funds. Real estate is just for entertainment; expecting to get rich from it is basically unrealistic.
#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元 78 banks band together to exert pressure! The core terms of CLARITY's stablecoin may undergo major changes, ushering in a major shift in the crypto industry's yield logic
Everyone was waiting for the CLARITY Act to set the tone for stablecoin rules, but unexpectedly, the banking industry suddenly blocked the issue, and the originally finalized stablecoin yield clause is now facing a rewritten risk.
Led by the American Bankers Association, 78 banking institutions nationwide jointly sent a letter to the Senate, directly pointing out huge loopholes in the current bill's text and demanding amendments to Section 404 to completely block all room for disguised interest payments for stablecoins.
The core anxiety on the banks side is very straightforward: the current draft only prohibits pure coin holding for interest, but leaves a gray area for event rewards and platform points. Crypto platforms can easily bypass regulatory restrictions through various rebate schemes and launch stablecoin products that are essentially equivalent to deposit interest.
From the banks' perspective, once stablecoins are compliantly released for returns, they will directly take away trillions in residents' deposits. Massive amounts of funds flow from bank savings to on-chain stablecoins, and community bank lending, small and micro enterprise credit, and local economies are all directly under pressure—a situation the entire traditional financial system cannot accept.
Therefore, the banking industry's proposed amendment is very strict, directly removing all ambiguous wording from the bill. Whether direct interest payments or rebates to token holders through promotions or membership covert rebates, all are included in the ban, allowing only pure payment-type stablecoins to circulate, preventing stablecoins from becoming online savings tools.
The impact of this incident on our cryptocurrency trading is obvious to the naked eye.
First, the market sector relying on stablecoin wealth management and staking for annualized returns will face strong regulatory pressure, significantly shrinking the survival space of stablecoin yield businesses in exchanges and DeFi;
Second, the bill's implementation was delayed again. Previously, the market expected the review to be completed before the recess, but now with intensified multi-party competition, it is difficult to pass smoothly in the short term;
Third, funds will resume risk aversion, with liquidity expectations for mainstream stablecoins like USDT and USDC weakening, putting pressure on the entire altcoin market.
On one side, the crypto industry needs stablecoin compliance to unlock growth; on the other, traditional banks are stubbornly holding onto their deposit base. The tug-of-war between the two sides has directly disrupted the future profit model of stablecoins. #银行业联名施压, the terms of CLARITY stablecoin may be regenerated
Do you still hold a large amount of dividend-paying stablecoin positions? Do you think this round of bank pressure will completely cut off the stablecoin wealth management track?
