SK Hynix rose another 2% in pre-market trading—what exactly is the current hype on storage chips?
Brothers, the memory chip sector is still moving forward.
SK Hynix's underlying stock closed up 7.29% last night, closing at $165.67. It continued to rise before the market today, currently at $167.48, up another 1.09%. South Korea was even stronger, with SK Hynix rising over 6% intraday today, and Samsung Electronics also up nearly 3%. On the token side, SKHYNIXUSDT has risen from 997 to now, reaching a high of 1,221 today, currently near 1,193.
Why is it rising? Two news sources are driving it.
First: SanDisk's investor day explosive guidance ignites the entire sector.
SanDisk gave a heavyweight long-term guidance at yesterday's investor day—maintaining mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth for fiscal years 2028-2030, gross margin about 80%, operating margin about 75%, and a commitment to 100% excess free cash flow to shareholders. Goldman Sachs directly set a target price of $2,200.
SanDisk rose 13% yesterday and continued to gain over 4% in pre-market today. Micron, Western Digital, and Seagate all rose more than 1%. The entire memory chip sector is interactive.
Second: SK Hynix's chairman spoke out, saying demand is exploding and supply is completely lagging behind.
SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won shared several key points in an interview with CNBC:
· "Currently, demand is exploding, and all customers are demanding that next year's procurement volume nearly double, but supply cannot keep up with demand, effectively triggering a battle for memory chip resources."
· It has been more than a month spent globally surveying the site for the factory, but due to limitations in water supply, electricity, and land, suitable locations have been difficult to find.
· It is believed that next year will be the most severe year for storage shortages.
· The plan is to double production capacity within five years and massively expand wafer fabs.
· It warns that tight storage chip supply will further worsen in 2027.
At the same time, consider building new factories through joint ventures to reduce capital expenditures and the risk of overcapacity.
The logic of these two messages together is very clear:
The demand for storage in the AI inference era is just beginning to be released. SanDisk's NBM protocol has already locked in capacity and revenue for the coming years, and SK Hynix has clearly told the market, "Demand is exploding, but supply can't keep up." The boom cycle for memory chips may be longer than the market expects.
Regarding holdings:
Keep holding SKHYNIX long positions, move stop-loss up to 1,100, profits already locked in. The underlying stock is still rising before the market opens, and if the storage sector continues to strengthen after the US market opens tonight, there is still room for tokens. Aim for 1,250-1,300 above. Be cautious if you chase after a large short-term rise, but if the logic of the storage shortage persists, this wave is unlikely to be over.
Brothers, have you benefited from the storage rally? Let's talk in the comments. 👇 #闪迪投资者日后, long-term targets have become the focus #韩股十日反弹逾22%, chip stocks lead the #CPI与PPI同步降温, and rate hike divergences widen $SNDK $SKHYNIX The AI race is shifting from model leadership to operating leverage. OpenAI’s annualized revenue reportedly exceeded $40B, roughly twice its end-2025 level, while a revenue leadership change points to sharper pre-IPO sales execution. Anthropic’s projected $100B-$120B year-end run rate and discussions above a $2T valuation set an even higher bar.
My read: public markets may reward growth initially, but durable differentiation will depend on whether coding tools, subscriptions and new businesses can absorb heavy compute costs and produce stable cash flow. The next contest is financial architecture, not only technical capability. Not advice, just analysis.
#OpenAIAnthropicRace🚨 SanDisk Is Effectively Challenging the “NAND Price Crash” Thesis
SanDisk’s latest long-term outlook is sending a strong message to the market: the company is not expecting a major collapse in NAND pricing.
📊 SanDisk’s 2028–2030 Long-Term Targets
• Revenue growth: 15–19% annually
• Non-GAAP gross margin: ~80%
• Operating margin: ~75%
• Free cash flow margin: ~50%
• Shareholder returns: 100% of free cash flow after investment
The most interesting part is the relationship between revenue growth and bit shipments.
If both are expected to grow at roughly similar rates, it implies that SanDisk is not modeling a significant decline in NAND average selling prices.
That directly challenges the prevailing market narrative, which has been expecting NAND prices to fall by double-digit percentages annually.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg Intelligence analysis suggests NAND pricing strength could potentially continue through at least the first half of 2028, supported by tight supply and long-term customer agreements.
If these assumptions prove accurate, the current memory cycle may be turning into something much bigger:
Not just another short-term memory rally, but a longer and stronger supercycle than the market originally anticipated. 🔥
The real question now is whether supply expansion can keep pace with AI-driven demand without triggering the traditional memory-cycle collapse.
$SNDK $MU $SKHYNIX
#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000 #闪迪投资者日后, long-term goals become the focus. This Investor Day can be said to be SanDisk's largest response to the market.
Key highlights of this Investor Day
1. Aggressive long-term financial goals
Management has set a 2028-2030 forecast for mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth, target gross margin of 80%, operating profit margin of 75%, free cash flow of 50%, and after capital expenditures are completed, 100% excess free cash flow will be returned to shareholders. Combined with large repurchase quotas from existing stock, this gives the market strong potential for a cash cow.
2. Using long-term contracts to try to weaken the cyclical nature
Holding nearly $94 billion in long-term customer contracts, locking in shipments from leading cloud vendors for the next few years. Management's logic: no longer relying solely on spot NAND price fluctuations, but using long-term contracts to lock volume and price, transforming traditional flash cycle stocks into weak-cycle AI infrastructure companies.
3. HBF high-bandwidth flash memory opens up the inference track story
Targeting the pain points of memory walls in AI inference, the next-generation HBF technology route is being implemented, aiming to solve HBM cost and capacity bottlenecks. This is the most important new narrative behind the institutional target price increases. Samples are expected to be released in 2027, which is a long-term story and will not contribute to performance in the short term.
As the news arrived, the stock price surged nearly 14% in a single day, driving a collective rebound across the entire storage sector. Many institutions raised their target prices overnight, but here it must be clear: the beautiful blueprint for 2028-2030 is not the reality that has already been realized.哎，各位老铁，刚端起茶杯还没喝一口，美军那边无人机部队刚一亮相，BTC就跟被踩了尾巴的猫似的，直接从63600附近一个激灵栽到62800，现在趴在63300直喘气。市场这反应，比看到蟑螂还快——说白了，大家心里都绷着根弦，一有风吹草动，先跑为敬。 这事儿得从头捋捋。美军宣布组建一支多国无人机特遣队，名字还挺唬人，叫“猎鹰攻击”。消息一出，BTC瞬间跳水，ETH也跟着被按着头往下砸，一度摸到1862附近。市场咋想的？明摆着——美国这是在中东加码军事存在，配合伊朗那边刚撂下的“升级冲突”狠话，两边都在摩拳擦掌准备“下一步”。这火药味一浓，谁还敢拿着仓位睡觉？风控第一，跑路要紧。 现在盘面是什么光景？BTC挂在63300，正好踩在之前反复念叨的63300-63000核心支撑带上。这感觉就像走钢丝，底下就是悬崖，全靠一根细绳吊着。如果今晚没有降温信号，或者美军再来个后续动作，这根钢丝怕是要断。一旦跌破63000，那些做多的兄弟们的止损单就会像多米诺骨牌一样被触发，价格可能稀里哗啦直接滑向62000-62500。上方阻力嘛，64000就是一道硬墙，反弹没量的话，想翻过去比登天还难。 ETH这边也Once news from Hormuz tightens, oil prices, freight rates, and risk aversion will move first. Whether BTC can withstand this wave shouldn't be automatically stamped by the phrase "digital gold"; this time is just a macro influence, not a direct positive trend.
I reacted a bit too slowly; the advantage is that I don't applaud the first candlestick myself. If you're truly safe-haven, you need to see if it can remain relatively strong during US pullbacks, and also watch if the perpetual funding rate suddenly emerges.
This time, we're not rushing to answer—quick answers don't necessarily mean the answer is right. If oil prices rise and the dollar strengthens, liquidity may actually tighten, and BTC will still lose its chair.
I compare the strength of oil prices, the US dollar index, and BTC relative to the Nasdaq. Looking at all three charts together is much easier to hear than listening to "safe-haven assets" alone.

Digital asset prices are highly volatile; please make independent judgments and be aware of the risks #$BTC Geopolitical turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz has flared up again, with Iran issuing a tough statement: no vessel can safely pass without permission. The news pushed WTI crude (CL) crude oil to surge to $78 per barrel, and Brent crude (BZ) to approach $83 per barrel.
This round of market movement is driven by three factors together:
First, geopolitical rivalry continues to ferment. After the U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Iran in February 2026, Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced the blockade of the strait and subsequently established the Persian Gulf Straits Authority (PGSA) to institutionalize strait control. This new travel permit regulation is Iran's transformation of wartime controls into a normalized bargaining chip.
Second, to compete for control of the shipping lanes. Iran requires ships to only pass through the designated northern channel, bans use of the southern route of Oman, and refuses passage to ships from the U.S. and its rival countries, thereby firmly controlling this critical waterway, which carries about one-fifth of the world's oil and gas transport.
Third, countering the U.S. maritime blockade. The U.S. blockades Iranian ports and has issued statements of indefinite pressure. Iran responded by introducing a transit permit and toll mechanism, demanding the U.S. lift the blockade and compensate for related losses.
Short- to medium-term oil price outlook
In the short term: Geopolitical premiums combined with supply concerns mean CL and BZ are generally more likely to rise than fall, but the upside depends on the progress of negotiations between the two sides.
Medium- to long-term: If the US-Iran general aviation agreement is relaxed and the US lifts its blockade, the backlog of oil in the Gulf resumes exports, the geopolitical premium will quickly fade, Brent near-month futures will recover from deep spot premium structure, and the price focus will return to supply-demand fundamentals.
Trading strategy: CL and BZ will fluctuate at high levels in the short term due to geopolitical news, not suitable for chasing highs; Core tracks are daily actual navigation data for the strait and progress of US-Iran negotiations.
Risk warning: Sharing ideas only, does not constitute investment advice, no harmful guidance, comply with community conventions! $BTC $ETH $CL #霍尔木兹通航谈判未果, US-Iran pressure escalates This week, the S&P 500 has indeed moved quite a bit
On August 4th, it just hit 7700, and by August 13th it had already reached 7800—a total of seven trading days.
100 points, completed in a week.
PPI data came in below expectations, pushing the probability of a rate hike in September below 40%. Citi raised its earnings per share forecast from $350 to $365, with a target price of 8,100.
Inflation is declining, expectations for rate cuts are rising, and earnings expectations are being revised upward.
Three items stacked together, funds rushing ahead, and no one stopped to wait.
SanDisk$SNDK continued its upward surge, rising 2.7% in pre-market trading to $1,612.
The lingering momentum for investors is still lingering, with 80% and 100% gross margins returning cash to shareholders—this long-term narrative market is being digested.
SK Hynix and Micron followed suit, and the storage sector as a whole is recovering.
Gold $XAU, which was gaining momentum a few days ago, is now pulling back, falling from its high to around 4355.
Rising expectations for rate cuts should be positive for gold, but gold prices actually fell.
This shows that funds are shifting from safe-haven assets to risk assets, inflation is cooling down, the economy hasn't collapsed, and there's no need for money to stay stuck in gold.
US stocks hit new highs, storage stocks soared, and gold pulled back—these three directions correspond to the same macro narrative.
The S&P 500 is already above 7800, less than 3% away from 8000.
Citi's target price is 8100, Reddit will be included in the S&P 500 next Monday, and there will be some short-term passive funds entering the market.
Macro sentiment is loosening, capital is shifting, and earnings expectations are rising. The direction is clear: there should be a push before 8000 points.
But I won't chase higher prices at this level.
Having the right direction doesn't mean entering at the highest point; wait for a pullback to confirm before making a decision.
The market never just rises and never falls.
$SPY #标普收盘再创新高. The 8,000-point level is expected to heat up The potential impact of U.S. Treasury yields.
The auction yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury note hit its highest level since 2001, driving up long-term financing costs for U.S. Treasuries.
The rise in U.S. Treasury yields indicates growing concerns about long-term inflation and U.S. debt risks.
High yields enhance risk-free returns across the market and divert funds from risk assets.
$BTC As a risk asset, Bitcoin is subject to indirect suppression.
Signals from the bond market also influence market expectations for the Fed's subsequent rate cuts.
If the market expects rate cuts to be further delayed, it will weaken the upward momentum in the crypto market.
In the short term, funds may be safe-haven, and Bitcoin may be pressured and volatile along with US stocks.
Most likely, this will push up long-term Treasury yields, and the market will further lower expectations for Fed rate cuts.
Funds tend to flow toward bonds, dividing risk asset capital.
Bitcoin is highly likely to remain under pressure and volatile, with weakened upward momentum, making pullbacks more likely to weaken and making it difficult to achieve a strong rally.
This is an indirect medium-term negative factor, not directly triggering a sharp drop, but more about suppressing rebound space. APR Looks Like a Familiar Trap APR just exploded from 0.20 to 0.63, a 3x move overnight. Impressive? Yes. Sustainable? I’m not convinced. Open interest has climbed to around 25.45M, with more than 4.8M in net inflows. For a small-cap asset, that kind of positioning can create an explosive move with relatively little capital. But the real question is: Who is buying after the pump? APR has already fallen back toward 0.48, down more than 20% from the high, while volume exploded to roughly 23x normaThe same logic applies to the clear plan. This plan has been delayed since the beginning of the year and has been delayed repeatedly. The market has long stopped reacting to news of another month of delay. What truly causes major price fluctuations is the sudden approval of the plan or the sudden rejection of certain events. Simply delaying this semi-certain state basically immunees the market. Moreover, the closure of two exchanges is, frankly, marginal platforms eliminated by the market. It's not that the top exchange has problems, and user funds have flowed out relatively smoothly, without triggering a run-like chain reaction. The Coldcard wallet vulnerability this time is indeed alarming, but the main impact is long-term users who haven't updated their firmware for a long time. The official team quickly issued a patch that was essentially a security incident, not a broken fund chain on that platform. The impact was mostly at the level of sentiment and self-custody trust, not directly on the price. More importantly, this round of selling pressure is mainly about short-term capital avoidance and internal industry trust repair, not panic stampede.SPCX is now around 142u. A couple of days ago at 146.5, I said not to chase; after a 10% 24-hour surge, chasing in at that point wasn't cost-effective. Now, as expected, it has retraced quite a bit, turning red over 24 hours with nearly a 3% drop.
At this level, I'm still watching first, but unlike before, it now feels more like waiting for a direction.
The key is how the leverage is being reduced. Open interest dropped nearly 20% in one day, but the price only retraced about three points — this isn't a panic sell-off, it's just that the previous rise was too fast, so the leverage is being squeezed out first. The funding rates have all turned negative, with eight consecutive samples showing no positive rates, indicating that shorts are actively pushing the price down and are even willing to pay for it.
However, on the active trading side, sell orders still outweigh buy orders, with buys accounting for less than 40%. But the trading volume has shrunk by more than 60%. In short, the selling pressure is weakening, but the bulls haven't launched a counterattack yet.
Big players are somewhat divided: the number of accounts increased by 16% over seven hours, but the long position ratio hasn't passed half. More accounts but no obvious increase in long positions means the big money is also waiting.
The price is now grinding near the low around 140, with moving averages not far below. So I'm not rushing to take sides here; I'm watching two things: whether 140 can hold and whether the selling volume has truly stopped. If it holds, then we talk; if not, consider it a signal to reduce positions. At this level, chasing longs or shorts isn't worthwhile.
#spcx $SPCX At the beginning of the year, the gambling market had over 80% of the probability of passing this bill, but now it has dropped to 20-30%. After waiting for half a year and being delayed repeatedly, patience has somewhat worn down. Coupled with the recent global growth, a large portion of capital has been drawn away by AI-related stocks and computing projects. The marginal capital allocated to the crypto market has clearly decreased, and the industry has been unstable internally.
BitMEX and BitMart both announced shutdowns one after another, and everyone has probably seen the security vulnerabilities in Coldcard. A long-established hardware wallet was exposed for firmware issues, losing over a thousand bitcoins, but looking at it together, the industry's trust has indeed been somewhat shaken recently. Any one of these could be enough to write a sensational article. But looking back at Bitcoin's price, over the past half month, it has basically been grinding within the 63,000-66,000 range. No news has directly broken down after the price dropped. I think the logic behind this can be understood from several angles: the positions scared off by these news have mostly already been sold out in recent months and truly cannot hold on
Those who want to run at the sight of the news have already gone through several rounds of downward education and have already given what needed to be released
Those who remain on the market already have a relatively stable mindset. If you try to scare them with another ETF outflow, its marginal effect is less significant. Recently, many people have probably felt that bad news about Bitcoin seems to be coming one after another: ETFs are being released, the Federal Reserve's stance is unclear, the AI sector is aggressively attracting funds, and the clear bill has yet to pass
The market is filled with cautious and wait-and-see retreats. Logically, with so much negative news dropping, the price should have broken down long ago, right? But in reality, Bitcoin is still fluctuating around 63,000-66,000 USD, falling but not collapsing. This is quite interesting because the moment an asset deserves the most attention is often not when it is full of positive news, but when there is a lot of negative news but it cannot fall
In recent weeks, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have appeared, and since the beginning of this year, there has been a noticeable net outflow. This wave of Wall Street funds is here. With geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns, there has been short-term safe-haven withdrawal. You should know that ETFs were previously used by the market as a stabilizer for institutional buying, but now this stabilizer has started withdrawing funds on its own. At the same time, the Federal Reserve's attitude is somewhat ambiguous. In this recent policy meeting, 9 to 3 voted to keep rates unchanged, while the three opponents advocated for direct rate hikes. The futures market has already priced in a rate hike of over 70% for September. With unclear interest rates, risk assets cannot rise confidently, and regulatory efforts are also worrying. The market has been waiting for a clear plan. This week, the Senate confirmed that there will be no vote before the August recess and will have to wait until September to reschedule.🇺🇸 U.S. Markets Stay Muted as Geopolitical Risks Rise
U.S. equities remained relatively subdued after Trump officials signaled potential economic isolation and a port blockade of Iran.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield climbed 1.6 bps to 4.66%, while Brent crude rose 0.7% to around $88/bbl.
Chip stocks continued to lead in Asia. SK Hynix and Samsung surged again on renewed AI-driven demand, helping push the KOSPI roughly 31% above its end-of-July level.
📊 S&P 500 Valuation Watch
2026 S&P 500 EPS estimates have risen to around $361, representing approximately 30% YoY growth, supported by strength in AI and energy.
At current levels, that implies roughly:
• 21.4x forward P/E
• 4.7% earnings yield
• Earnings yield now roughly matching the 10-year Treasury yield
That’s notable because equities would normally be expected to offer a 50–100 bp premium over Treasuries. The current relationship is also reminiscent of valuation conditions seen in early 2024—and, further back, during the 2000 Internet bubble.
⚠️ Still Cautious on $TSLA
I remain cautious on Tesla given declining longer-term earnings estimates, the potential commoditization of unsupervised autonomous driving, and its elevated valuation.
At roughly 195x 2026 earnings versus around 35% expected forward EPS growth, the stock leaves very little room for disappointment.
Overall, AI and energy remain powerful earnings drivers, but valuation, Treasury yields, and geopolitical risk are becoming increasingly important factors for the next leg of the market.

今天SNDK这口气吐得，我感觉整个半导体圈都地震了。
上周财报出来的时候，我差点把屏幕舔一遍——单季营收89.7亿，环比+51%，毛利率84.6%，数据中心直接翻倍。结果股价？哐当，砸盘。
我当时脑子里只有一句话：你们到底要啥？要它当场给你变个ChatGPT出来？
后来冷静了，才反应过来——市场不是嫌它赚得少，是嫌它赚得太像上一轮周期的回光返照。NAND这行当，涨价时全员股神，扩产完集体跳楼，剧本比《甄嬛传》还老套。
所以今天的投资者日，真正炸裂的不是管理层又念了多少遍“AI”经，而是他们终于掏出了防周期避孕套：
· 8家客户签了新型长协，锁到2027财年50%出货量，2028年三分之二直接焊死；
· 放话2028–2030年：非GAAP毛利率保80%，调整后自由现金流率冲50%，后面赚的钱，除了必要投资，全部砸给股东。
翻译成人话就是：以前是“三年不开张，开张吃三年”；现在是“年年有肉吃，还能打包带走”。
这波操作，市场直接真香——今天这根阳线，不是涨业绩，是涨信仰重塑。
以前大家看SNDK，脑海里自动弹窗：“NAND涨价概念股”。
现在它想让你换张壁纸：AI数据中心的数据仓库，算力负责思考，我负责记忆。
当然，别急着喊星辰大海。HBF落地、长协执行、价格回落后的毛利底，哪一项翻车都得打回原形。但至少今天，它把那句最扎心的话怼回去了：
你说是周期股？行，但我的周期里，焊了台永不熄火的AI柴油发动机。

#存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？
#海力士推进NAND扩产，存储供给预期上升 Speaking of $CAP, I have mixed feelings right now.
Let's start with the background of this coin—Cap is an institutional-grade on-chain credit platform that connects institutional borrowing needs with on-chain liquidity through a collateralized private credit market. At the end of June, Binance, OKX, and Bybit all launched the CAPUSDT perpetual contract, and Coinbase also listed spot trading, making a big splash. When Upbit first launched on August 6, its price hovered around 0.027, but within a few days it dropped to 0.065.
Then came my "classic move."
CAPUSDT perpetual, 20x, sell to open a short position. Entry price 0.06593, closing price 0.06812. -109.79%。 You read that right—after losing everything, they even lose money.
Looking back now, on August 11, someone at Gate analyzed a 0.0561 long-short standoff, with a 40% rally in two days. I thought 0.065 was about right, right? But technically, 0.065-0.07 was the key breakout zone, with a target of 0.075. I happened to open a short position at this critical moment—a precise landmine-stepping, textbook-level reverse indicator.
Even more painful was the wave on August 6, when the funding rate was -0.0995%, and the volume surged eightfold in 4 hours. Shorting in a market with negative rates basically just gave people a kill. I was slow to realize and perfectly missed all the signals I should have run.
That said, CAP's fundamentals haven't collapsed. In July, the founder admitted that Stabledrop's promise was overly optimistic, cutting from 11 million to 4.2 million. Despite the community's criticism, the protocol itself is still operating healthily. With the AI + Crypto narrative backing it up, community FOMO and smart money driving the market up, doubling in a short time is not entirely unreasonable.
So I have to admit this loss—it's not that the project is bad, it's that my own pace is completely wrong.
Brothers, have you been educated by CAP recently? Talk in the comments section and let me know I'm not alone.$BTC Bitcoin’s 30-day Average Coin Dormancy has climbed to around 19 days, moving above its 365-day moving average for the first time since the beginning of the year.
This suggests that older $BTC is becoming active again. However, the data shouldn’t immediately be interpreted as long-term holders distributing their coins.
Following the Coldcard hack, some of the increased dormancy could be explained by large $BTC transfers into newly created or fresh wallets rather than actual selling.
So for now, the rise in Dormancy is a signal to watch—not definitive proof of LTH distribution. On-chain movement doesn’t always mean coins are heading to exchanges or being sold.
#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000 Honestly, if miners pull out their machines, will $BTC go up? 👀
Listed mining companies' hash rate dropped from 368.3 EH/s to 319 EH/s, a decrease of 13.4% in half a year. Excluding Bitdeer, which is still expanding, the decline even exceeded 20%.
Now, mining profits are getting thinner and thinner, while AI is willing to pay higher prices for the same electricity and data center. It's not that mining companies don't want to mine anymore; they just discover that using electricity for AI might be more profitable ⚡
Don't take this as a positive sign. After miners shut down, Bitcoin's difficulty will automatically decrease, so long-term output won't suddenly drop as a result. Miners who can't hold out in the short term may even sell coins or machinery, putting selling pressure on the market.
Think of miner exits as a "bottom puzzle," not a bullish button.
The truly bullish signal is that miners are already struggling, but $BTC can't move down; The difficulty has been lowered, hash power is starting to stabilize, and miners are selling less coins 📌
AI will reshape mining, but it won't kill mining outright. Those who will stay in the future will most likely be players with the lowest electricity costs, the most efficient machines, and the ability to flexibly switch between mining and AI.#存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable?
SNDK's bullish candle today is a direct counterattack to the "cycle curse."
When SanDisk's earnings report came out last week, I really didn't understand it—quarterly revenue was $8.97 billion, a 51% quarter-on-quarter increase, gross margin was 84.6%, and the data center business doubled. But the stock price fell instead of rising.
At that time, there was only one question in my mind: If they don't buy it, what exactly is the market afraid of?
Later, I figured it out. The market wasn't dissatisfied with its low earnings, but rather didn't believe it could be retained. The storage industry's ingrained cyclical nature makes every boom feel like a countdown—everyone is legendary when prices rise, profits drop to zero after expansion, and the script never changes.
So today, on Investor Day, what truly matters is not how many times management shouts "AI," but that they finally begin to answer that soul-searching question head-on:
How does SanDisk plan to break free from the "cyclical stock" fate?
The answer is hidden in two sets of data:
· It has signed new long-term agreements with 8 customers, locking in about 50% of shipments in fiscal year 2027 and about two-thirds in fiscal year 2028;
· Sets FY2028–2030 targets: non-GAAP gross margin of about 80%, adjusted free cash flow margin of about 50%, and commits to returning all remaining cash to shareholders after necessary investments.
In other words: lock in price and volume in advance to smooth out cyclical fluctuations; Use real cash shareholder returns instead of storytelling and empty promises.
Today, the market is willing to pay because the narrative logic has changed—SNDK used to sell NAND chips, but now it wants you to believe that AI data centers lack not just computing power, but also "data warehouses" capable of storing massive memories.
Of course, rationally speaking, long-term goals are ultimately goals. The progress of HBF implementation, the actual execution of long-term contracts, and the resilience of gross margins after NAND price declines all depend on quarter-on-quarter verification in subsequent financial reports.
But at least today, SNDK has shown the market a clear shift:
It may still be a cyclical stock, but at the bottom of this cycle, there's an AI data engine that never shuts down.
Computing power makes AI think, storage makes AI remember.
In the past, everyone focused on the former, but now someone is finally beginning to face the latter.
$SNDK
#存储股抛压缓和, is the AI memory bull market still stable? #海力士推进NAND扩产, expectations for storage supply are rising Tesla surged over 5% intraday to return to $341, while $DOGE bottomed for the third time near $0.069, with their price curves diverging completely.
On the US stock market, the end of the Swedish strike gave Tesla some breathing room, while in the crypto market, the $0.0688 Bollinger Band lower band is undergoing repeated tests.
Tesla's yearly adjustment is priced in by industry-level gross margin and expenditure, while the crypto side's weakness is accompanied by a continuous decline in speculative liquidity in the meme sector.
Musk's asset portfolio, once bound by a single focus, has evolved into a one-way decoupling under independent fundamentals and liquidity environments.
If X Money payment integration is implemented through a channel or if Tesla's earnings report lists digital assets separately, the linkage could quickly repair and trigger buying to cover the gap.
Without substantial business implementation, liquidity outflows from meme assets could break below the $0.0688 support and trigger deeper technical downward revisions.
If Tesla experiences a systemic decline and the token narrative premium fades simultaneously, this asymmetric correlation will be finally confirmed.
The core focus over the next seven days is whether $DOGE can see substantial volume growth in the $0.069 demand zone during the U.S. stock rebound.
#CLARITY表决待定, SEC rules not yet implemented, #标普收盘再创新高 8,000-point expectation heats up. #财报观察员: AI infrastructure earnings report debuts one after anotherNegotiations on Hormuz general aviation have failed, and pressure from the US and Iran has escalated, tightening the oil price barrier once again.
The most annoying part of this is that it brings the just-cooling inflation narrative back to the table. CPI and PPI are both falling, and the market has just started betting on rate hikes to ease pressure; As a result, as oil price risks rise, energy, transportation, insurance, and inflation expectations may rebound.
Hormuz is not an ordinary channel; it is a valve of sentiment in the global energy market.
As long as the protocol isn't implemented, traders won't dare to cut all the risk premiums. For US stocks and crypto, this isn't news from afar. If oil prices keep rising, Fed divergence will widen, long-term yields will rise, and the liquidity story of risk assets will be interrupted.
I think we shouldn't treat 'negotiations are still ongoing' as 'risk reduction' right now. What really matters is whether the ship can remain stable, whether insurance premiums can be reduced, and whether both parties have enforceable agreements.
Before it landed, oil prices were a thorn in the macro market.
#霍尔木兹通航谈判未果, pressure from the US and Iran escalates 🔥 The Real Reason $OKB Broke Above 100 Yuan
The recent strength in $OKB looks less like pure speculation and more like a potential valuation reset driven by three major narratives.
Unlike $BTC and $ETH, $OKB has been showing notable relative strength on its own, with the move increasingly tied to the growth of the OKX ecosystem, RWA/tokenization, and the expanding utility of the token.
Here’s the bigger picture 👇
1️⃣ Stronger Connection to Traditional Finance
Reports surrounding a potential relationship between ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, and OKX have added fuel to the institutional-adoption narrative.
If this trend continues, it could strengthen the broader thesis of bringing traditional financial assets and markets on-chain.
2️⃣ Massive Supply Reduction
In August 2025, around 65.26M $OKB tokens were permanently burned, reducing the maximum supply to just 21M OKB.
That dramatically changed the scarcity profile of the token and created a fixed-supply narrative that increasingly resembles the supply structure of $BTC.
3️⃣ X Layer Gives $OKB Real Utility
$OKB is the native gas token of X Layer.
As transactions and ecosystem activity increase, demand for the token could rise alongside network usage, while additional burning mechanisms may further tighten supply.
The narrative is evolving from:
Exchange token → Scarce, utility-driven asset powering an on-chain financial ecosystem.
⚡ 21M maximum supply
⚡ Native on-chain utility
⚡ RWA & tokenization narrative
⚡ Expanding OKX ecosystem
That combination is why I think the recent move deserves more attention than simply calling it speculation.
Whether $100 marks the beginning of a much larger repricing remains to be seen, but the fundamental narrative around $OKB is certainly becoming stronger.
The price is moving fast—but the bigger question is whether the fundamentals can keep up. 👀📈

#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000 #闪迪投资者日后, long-term goals become the focus
An investor day redefined SanDisk's journey from a "NAND cyclical stock" to an "AI cash storage cow." The question is: is this long-term goal the starting point for a new business model, or just a round of sophisticated rhetoric at the peak of the cycle?
On August 13, SanDisk released an aggressive long-term model: FY2028 to FY2030 is expected to achieve mid-to-high double-digit annual revenue growth, non-GAAP gross margin of about 80%, operating margin of about 75%, and free cash flow margin of about 50%; FY2026 is equally steep, with revenue of about $20 billion, year-on-year growth of +175%, and gross margin of 71.6%.
The market voted with its feet. On August 13, SNDK surged about 15%, with a market cap of approximately $225.4 billion, driving up the storage sector: Western Digital +8.4%, SK Hynix ADR +7.4%, Micron +5.8%, Seagate +4.75%; On August 14, SNDK rose another 2.1% before market open. A single guidance that can lift an entire sector is rare among cyclical stocks.
The core is SanDisk's attempt to hold down the "NAND cycle" with three tools: long-term agreements, low capital expenditure, and large-scale buybacks.
The first card is long-term NBM contracts. SanDisk has signed multi-year contracts with 8 customers (including 3 US hyperscale cloud providers) totaling $93.9 billion, with $91.1 billion remaining fulfillment, including $16.5 billion in financial guarantees; covering about half of FY2027 and two-thirds of FY2028's planned shipments. Even at the contract floor price, gross margin can still be maintained at around 80%—SanDisk no longer exposes prices entirely to the spot market, but sets lower limits for revenue and profit.
The second card is manufacturing capital efficiency. SanDisk's joint venture with Kioxia has been extended until 2034, and from 2021 to 2025, it will use only about 13% of the industry's capital expenditure and contribute approximately 29% of the Bitcoin supply; Capital investment per unit capacity is about 2.6 times that of the system. Low capital expenditure means high profits won't be eaten up by the next round of expansion, with about $15.5 billion remaining in buyback authorization.
The third card is HBF high-bandwidth flash memory. SanDisk uses the "memory wall" in AI inference as an entry point, claiming that HBF can reach 8 to 16 times the capacity of HBM at similar read bandwidths, and can output the same token with about half the GPU capacity of HBM-only solutions. The first chip has already been tape-out, and the first inference samples are scheduled to debut in 2027—but this is a forward option, not immediate revenue.
All three investment banks raised or maintained their bullish views almost simultaneously, but the difference in target prices exposes the divergence. Goldman Sachs maintained a buy position at $2,200 (about 63.7% up), and "normalized EPS" at a 20x P/E ratio of × $110, which has already discounted the current high profits of NAND; Bank of America at $2,500, based on company guidance, estimates cumulative free cash flow from FY2028 to FY2030 at about $100 billion (about half of current market value), with valuations mainly backed by existing NAND business and not included in HBF; JPMorgan Chase "overweight" for the first time, $2,250; Wells Fargo is relatively conservative, raising its price from $1,400 to $1,550. The range from 1550 to 2500 is essentially a market gamble: 80% gross margin and 50% free cash flow—how long can it hold on?
My judgment is rather cautious. What SanDisk wants to do is use long-term contracts to "shave peaks and fill valleys" the cycle, then use capital discipline to convert profits into EPS—the logic is consistent, but every step still needs validation. NBM covers about half of FY2027 and about two-thirds of FY2028, meaning about half of FY2027 and about one-third of FY2028's shipments remain unlocked, and these businesses will fluctuate with NAND spot and customer procurement rhythms; The $16.5 billion financial guarantee is also significantly lower than the $93.9 billion contract total, so it can't simply be considered as "revenue guaranteed by cash."
Looking at the real sentiment beyond the news, the divergence becomes even more apparent. Some followers have pointed out that this is a "narrative shift rather than just an AI concept," with Korea's KOSPI closing up 11% this week, ending a seven-week losing streak. But retail investors and institutions in the crypto world are not aligned: some are calling for a "rebound target of 1700, 1900, and finally 2400," seeing the extreme momentum; others are watching funding rates, with bears slightly outperforming, preparing to "close above 1700 and short below 1400"; Vida, a quantitative trader who rose to fame due to information gaps, has closed positions in Micron and SanDisk options. A data post on the chain also confirms this game: whales place sell orders around $5.25 million at $1630, push buy orders down to 1440-1460, and hold about $5.91 million short orders at $1575.5—the loudest calls and sell orders at 1630 may not be the same group.
What truly changed this investor day was the market's evaluation framework for SanDisk: shifting from "watching NAND price trends" to "looking at long-term contract execution, capital discipline, and HBF implementation." Long-term goals became the focus, but whether the cycle could survive ultimately depended on three things—whether AI inference demand could absorb new supply, whether the $93.9 billion long-term contract could be executed as promised, and whether capital expenditure discipline could be maintained during high-profit phases. Any loosening could cause "about $100 billion in free cash flow over three years" to revert to the cycle peak assumption.
What do you think: an 80% gross margin and a 50% free cash flow ratio—is SanDisk the 'new normal' to maintain, or is it the best-looking report in this NAND upcycle?
$SNDK #存储板块The trending list has changed its protagonist, xSNDK has surged to number one, but the real signal is hidden at the 1500 mark. Have you noticed that every time the trending list is reshuffled, the market is secretly changing its rhythm? xSNDK has surged quite strongly this time, directly breaking into the 1331 to 1577 range, and is now consolidating near high levels. 1577 is an open resistance, but I think the lower 1500 is more worth watching. Holding onto it gives buyers confidence to touch previous highs, and may even reach new heights; If you lose it, this wave of gains will most likely be sold back, and the drawdown won't be very gentle. OKB is firmly holding above 100, DOS is trying to rebound in the oversold zone, and BTC and SOL have barely moved. On the other hand, RE is being driven down by profit-taking, with funds clearly flowing into new stories like xSNDK. But there's a point that's easy to overlook: this isn't just a simple sector rotation, but a cross-market sentiment shift. The trending search list itself is a thermometer for retail investors' attention. When attention shifts at this rate, it means there is no established consensus in the market, only enthusiasm that could end at any moment. RE was sold off not because of its own problems, but because xSNDK provided a shorter narrative arc, with funds always looking for the direction of least resistance. The second layer of impact behind this is even more worth considering: - When funds rapidly jump between trending coins, the relative stability of BTC and SOL is actually a sign of capital accumulation, with large-cap coins absorbing liquidity withdrawn from hotspots—under this rhythm, altcoin prices are more likely$BTC $ETH CPI and PPI are both moderate, US stocks continue to be excited, the S&P hit new highs, the Nasdaq rose nearly one point, storage and AI hardware stocks followed, but BTC is still stuck in the 62,000 to 66,000 range. Trading volume and volatility continue to decline. The problem is no longer just macro. Within the crypto world, ETF funds are indeed buying, but miners are selling, corporate holdings are selling, and trapped positions are selling. Some people buy but can't hold all the sells, so the price just can't be pushed. This is called a liquidity trap. Buying and selling positions exist simultaneously and cancel each other out The price will just stay stuck here. Next, I'll only look at a few positions. 63,000 is a box of defense. If it falls, you need to prevent further declines. Only by stabilizing between 64,500 and 65,000 can you consider it strong in the short term. With volume surging and breaking through 66,000, and at the same time, ETFs will resume inflows, which is then qualified to talk about a trend reversal. No rush to guess the bottom. Both 6000 in 2018 and 20,000 in 2022 were flat for a long time, making people mistakenly think the risk has passed. In the end, what hurts people isn't a big drop, but the sense of security created by sideways movement. A sideways movement isn't the bottom It is the calm before the storm #CPI and PPI cooling simultaneously, rate hike divergence widens #标普收盘再创新高, expectations for 8,000 points rise #闪迪投资者日后, long-term targets become the focus #CPI与PPI同步降温, the rate hike divide widened
Bitcoin stuck at 63,000: the market is waiting for a signal of a "turn."
Bitcoin is now like an engine hanging at a high level—the accelerator (liquidity) hasn't been fully pressed, but the brakes (inflation stickiness) haven't fully eased either.
Recently, the PPI and CPI data have indeed shown some color: overall inflation is cooling down, with July PPI 0% month-on-month and CPI 3.4% year-on-year. Logically, this should be good news for risk assets. But the market trend is quite tangled—it softens at 64,000, rebounds at 63,000, like a pendulum glued to the ground.
Why is the data good, but the price of the coin doesn't skyrocket?
The core issue is the "expectation gap."
What the market is now craving is no longer "no rate hikes," but clear "rate cuts." The current macro environment is: although inflation has eased, core services excluding food and energy remain strong (narrow meaning PPI rose 0.4% month-on-month). This kind of "half-baked" inflation data is only enough to suppress the probability of a September rate hike, but not enough to initiate an easing cycle for the Fed.
What's even more troublesome is that internal disputes within the Federal Reserve are raging. On one side, hawks like Hamack are insisting on further increases; on the other, officials like Kaplan are advising everyone to wait and see. This split makes the market hesitant to bet on "one-sided moves" lightly. For a high-beta asset like BTC, "uncertainty" is the best catalyst for volatility.
How will the next script be unfolded?
Don't be fooled by the current candlestick manipulation; the market is actually holding back a big move. In the next two weeks, BTC is very likely to continue "swinging back and forth" within the 63,000-65,000 range.
• Resistance above (64k-65k): This is a concern for bulls recently. Only when US Treasury yields substantially decline or ETF funds flow in heavily again can a breakout be effective. Otherwise, every time you touch this point, it's a good opportunity to cash out in the short term.
• Support below (62k-60k): 62,000 is a minor recent step, while 60,000 is the psychological bottom line for bulls. If oil prices surge again due to geopolitical conflicts, driving inflation expectations to rebound, the 60,000 mark will face a real test.
My observation logic:
During this "macro twist period," the biggest taboo is chasing gains and cutting losses.
The current strategy should be: remain patient above 64,000 and avoid chasing highs; if it pulls back to 63,000 or even deeper, observe the strength of support. The real rally will only start when Powell changes tone at the Jackson Hole annual meeting, or when September's inflation data fully confirms the downward trend.
Remember, it's not the 'cows running away' now, but 'the cows grazing'—it's waiting for the Fed to hand over the 'rate cut' sickle.

2. HBF新一代AI闪存，专门瞄准AI推理KV‑Cache这块增量蛋糕，AI推理会巨量消耗闪存，打开全新成长曲线，不再是老的周期股逻辑。
3. 资本回报承诺：资本开支完成后，全部剩余现金返还股东，分红回购预期直接打满。
4. 多家大行连夜上调目标价，高盛给到2200，摩根大通给到2250，直接吸引短线资金冲进来，连带整个存储板块集体暴动，SK海力士同步大涨。
昨天收盘已经大涨13.67%，今天盘前资金继续追，直接冲到1600上方。
你的处境：1515的空单，现在非常难受
这不是普通短期脉冲，是基本面长期预期被重定价，资金不再单纯把它当成周期闪存股。
• 盘前属于流动性溢价，正式开盘经常会有获利盘兑现，会有一波回落；但只要存储板块情绪不散、没有利空出来，很难直接一步跌回去。
• 现在多头手里拿着一份很硬的中长期叙事，短期空头非常被动。
客观可以参考的几种思路，你自己权衡
1. 如果扛单已经严重影响心态：开盘冲高不追增量空，逢回落小亏离场，先把风险卸掉。这一轮存储的叙事已经变了，硬逆大资金叙事做空非常折磨人。
2. 如果打算继续拿空：千万不要再加仓摊薄，严格设置硬止损。重点盯两个信号：板块集体情绪松动、高开之后放量长阴线兑现利好。只有利好落地之后资金集体兑现，空头才有比较舒服的窗口。
3. 不要指望它立刻暴跌回来给你回本。现在是机构重新定价阶段，利好没有快速证伪前，资金愿意给更高估值。
#CPI与PPI同步降温，加息分歧扩大 #标普收盘再创新高，8000点预期升温
交易员狗总#加密估值转向收入, how is BTC priced?
Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer recently shared a viewpoint: the valuation logic of crypto assets is changing, shifting from focusing on narrative to on-chain fees and protocol revenue.
For assets like ETH and DeFi that generate income, this logic is correct. How much a protocol earns determines its value—this logic works.
But BTC is a different species.
BTC's pricing logic has always revolved around scarcity, ETF capital flows, macro interest rates, and stored value narratives. It has no income, no cash flow, and cannot be valued using PE. You can't say "how much money Bitcoin made" because it is money itself.
To put it simply, ETH and DeFi can be priced by revenue, but BTC can't fit that logic. One is an interest-generating asset, the other is a store-of-value asset.
For crypto traders, this has a lesson: if the market really starts pricing crypto assets by revenue, ETH and DeFi will face a round of valuation reassessment. Prices previously supported by narratives will be remeasured by real revenue figures. Those that can hold up will keep rising, while those that can't will be reverted to their original state.
BTC remains unaffected; it follows a different pricing logic—scarcity, macro interest rates, and store-of-value narratives. It won't change its approach just because the market starts looking at revenue.
Let me share my view: the income model will become an important valuation tool for ETH and DeFi, but it will not replace BTC's store-of-value narrative. Two paths, each going their own way.
What do you think?
$BTC $ETH The current state in the crypto world is truly strange—the positive news U.S. stocks received, BTC feels like a silencer; The bad news feared by U.S. stocks first triggered a layer of leverage in crypto.
CPI year-on-year was 3.4%, core 2.5%, PPI was 0% month-on-month, and year-on-year fell from 5.5% to 4.7%. According to the old script, risk assets should be able to make a comeback. The probability of a CME rate hike in September also dropped from the 40% range to around 34.8%. Short-term US Treasury yields fell, prompting both the Nasdaq and gold.
But what about Bitcoin? The data dipped to 63,998 before the data, then fluctuated back around 63,450, and the 64K wall didn't pass for three days; ETH peaked at 1899, now around 1886, can't hold at 1,900, over 60,000 orders crashed across the network in 24 hours. SanDisk jumped 13% in one day to 1528, SK Hynix rose over 7%, one macro night, two parallel universes.
It's not that the economy can't explain it, but rather that what the crypto world wants now is not "no rate hikes," but "rate cuts."
"No rate hikes" = stopping the bleeding, "cutting rates" = blood transfusion. CPI/PPI met expectations, but only suppressed the fear of "continued tightening," not opening the liquidity valve. The market had been cooling inflation for two weeks early, ETFs attracted $854 million in advance, smart money sat before the data was released, and when the "good news" came out, it actually became an exit for profit-taking—a typical case of buying expecting to sell.
What's even more tangled is the internal division within the Fed: on one side, Harmac-style hawks shout 'still need to get close'; on the other, Kaplan-style wait-and-see. The September economic data is only half the time, and the other half is political wrestling. Crypto capital fears this kind of 'unclear direction' the most—they'd rather clash in place than take the lead.
So BTC card 63,000-64,000, ETH card 1,850-1,900—it's not without logic:
• The macro floor is stable (no sudden resumption of rate hike storms)
• The macro ceiling is locked (no interest rate cut signal = no new money entering the market)
• Internal losses (ETFs saw inflows but were eaten up by miners/institutional selling, liquidity was weak in the summer, and the AI sector absorbed speculative funds)
What are they waiting for? Wait for Jackson-Hall-Powell to speak, wait for the September 4 nonfarm payrolls, September 11 CPI, and September FOMC to completely turn "to raise or not" to "when will it be cut?" When that point comes, ETH staking will suddenly become more cost-effective than US Treasuries, and ETH/BTC will be more elastic than it is now; But before that, the more buzz there is, the more the market resembles a stablecoin.
Strategically, don't rush to the news: don't chase BTC at 64,000 above, buy it at 63,000; Slowly pick up ETH below 1850, don't chase above 1900. Only after the political card is played will liquidity pick sides.

$BTC $ETH DOGE and Tesla, are they still tied together?
On August 14, Tesla rebounded intraday to around $341, pulling back more than 5% from the intraday low of $324.66. The news of the end of the Swedish strike gave it a breather. But on the same day, DOGE's candlestick chart opened on the same day, and the picture was completely different: near $0.069, it wore down the same demand zone for the third time, having dropped 43% since the May high. The Bollinger Band support at 0.0688 was repeatedly tested, and the bulls were just holding their ground, showing no intention of bouncing up with Tesla.
This divergence is worth discussing. Two years ago, this would have been unimaginable. Back then, the "Musk asset package" was a unified narrative: Musk's tweet would $DOGE a first-rate boost; Tesla's earnings exceeded expectations, and DOGE followed suit. The logic is simple: DOGE itself has no fundamentals; its entire pricing anchor is Musk's attention and the payment imagination space within the Tesla ecosystem, so Tesla's rise means the "parent company" endorses the narrative target.
Currently, Tesla has fallen 26% this year, ranking last among the Big Seven, with its market cap shrinking to 1.34 trillion; DOGE has also suffered a lot, but their decline paces are increasingly out of sync and their rebounds are going their separate ways. Tesla's decline is due to pressure on the cash-burning progress and gross margins of Robotaxi and Optimus, which is the pricing of industrial capital; DOGE's decline is due to a wave of liquidity in the meme sector and speculative funds withdrawing. The driving factors shifted from "shared Musk premium" to "individual risk appetite."
This shows that decoupling is already happening, and the direction is one-way: Tesla rises, DOGE stops following; But with Tesla's crash, DOGE is very likely to take the hit, because once Musk gets into trouble, the narrative premium instantly evaporates. This asymmetric linkage is a typical feature of the "Musk's asset package" breaking apart—strong correlation is never healthy correlation.
What really matters is not the price synchronization rate, but two catalysts: whether X Money's payment integration includes DOGE in the default channel, and whether the digital asset disclosures in Tesla's financial report separate DOGE from BTC. If either of these two is implemented, the correlation will immediately return. Until then, don't take Tesla's rebound as a buy signal for DOGE.Fundamental Research Report $PYTH / Pyth Network (oracle/middleware) $3.20
To summarize: Pyth Network ($PYTH) has an overall score of 55/100, with a rating focused on narrative over implementation. Looking at the three layers, the company team has cash reserves, the protocol network already shows signs of paid usage, and token capture has been implemented.
Project Overview: Pyth Network (token $PYTH), oracle/middleware track. Focuses on high-frequency, low-latency oracles. Benchmarked against LINK and API3. Traditional centralized platforms charge 15-40% commissions, with user data not autonomous. Lower on-chain trustless transaction fees, token incentives convert early users into contributors. Average order price $50-500/month, settlement required in USDC or fiat currency. Narrative-driven track, bear market usage cut by 60-80%. Positioned as a niche single-point tool. Product launch: protocol layer officially operational, on-chain dashboard shows protocol fees accumulating, showing signs of paid usage.

Wallet addresses do not equal monthly active individuals; concentrated holdings of large addresses overestimate actual user numbers. On the revenue side, user fees are undisclosed; supply-side revenue is about 80-90% of user fees (belonging to LPs and nodes), protocol treasury revenue is $2.00M, token holders buy and burn annualized without a burn mechanism. 24h transaction volume is business turnover, not revenue. Company profits do not equal protocol profits, protocol profits do not equal token holders profit. Code side: 60 valid submissions in 90 days, 25 active contributors, latest version not found. GitHub is A-level evidence that can be directly verified. Investment background: For company equity financing, look at PitchBook/Crunchbase (A-level); for token private and public funding, refer to whitepapers, release curves, and on-chain unlock contracts (A-level); market makers and ecosystem funding are B-level but do not represent long-term holdings by tech VCs; for technical integration, see API/SDK access evidence (B-level); strategic partnerships and logo walls are D-level.

Valuation: circulating market cap $3.00B, FDV $4.20B, P/S 1500.0x, FDV divided by revenue 2100.0x. Pessimistic outlook: $3.00B at 50-70% of the original price, fluctuating in a neutral range; optimistic outlook: revenue doubled, burn landing, enterprise clients coming in, FDV corresponding to P/S, aligned with the leaders. Final judgment: Solid fundamentals (score 55/100). Token value capture has been implemented (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap is relatively high compared to fundamentals, expected overdraw, FDV moderate. Potential pitfalls: short-term large-scale unlocking and sell-off, long-term protocol revenue reversing to zero, token demand relying solely on incentives (once incentives end, usage collapses). Continue to watch: protocol fee weekliness, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balances, GitHub version releases. The above judgments are based on publicly available data and do not constitute any investment advice. Conclusions should be revised if key indicators deviate significantly.
After the research report is finished, take a closer look.
#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbitToday, $SNDK finally finally breathed out the breath it had held for days—on August 13, Investor Day began, and the stock closed up 13.67% to $1528 in a single day, with an intraday high of 1580, and continued to climb after hours.
That financial report from a few days ago was actually quite magical: quarterly revenue of 8.97 billion, quarter-on-quarter +51%, gross margin of 84.6%, data center revenue of 2.98 billion (soaring 1298% year-on-year), but the report actually dropped 8% after closing that day. I was stunned at the time: if you're not satisfied with this, what exactly is the market nitpicking?
Later, I figured it out—what people feared wasn't how much profit this quarter would make, but the "old storage cycle script": prices rose→ the entire industry expanded→ capacity ramped up, and profits collapsed. SanDisk's past decades have been this vicious cycle, so the market's high valuations always carry question marks.
But what truly matters today is not the management repeating "AI," but that it is starting to answer an even more outdated question: how does SanDisk transform from a cyclical stock into a "SaaS-like" stable cash flow?
The answer is NBM (New Business Mode) long-term contracts: multi-year agreements have already been signed with 8 clients (including 3 US hyperscale cloud providers), with weighted terms exceeding 4 years, minimum revenue commitment of $93.9 billion, and clients providing $16.5 billion in financial guarantees; locking in about 50% of Bit's shipments for FY2027 and about two-thirds for FY2028. To put it plainly: first sell more than half of the capacity at base price; no matter how crazy the spot market, this portion of income and gross profit will be pocketed first.
Even more impressive is the financial framework for FY2028–2030: mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth, non-GAAP gross margin ~80%, operating margin ~75%, adjusted free cash flow margin ~50%, and 100% of remaining cash after necessary investments are returned to shareholders (currently 15.5 billion in repurchase authorization).
Seeing this, you can probably understand why capital is willing to chase today. Previously, SNDK focused on NAND spot prices, but now it wants you to believe: it's not about chips, but about the "memory layer" of AI data centers—computing power is responsible for thinking, storage is responsible for memory, KV Cache and inference contexts push NAND from components to infrastructure. HBF (High Bandwidth Flash) adds another cut, directly targeting HBM's capacity wall.
But I don't shout about the stars and the sea alongside them. Long-term goals are ultimately goals:
• Can HBF truly be mass-produced and ramp-up?
• Can the floor price of long-term contracts withstand the price drop and maintain 80% gross profit even after NAND prices fall?
• If industry capacity is collectively released in 2029–2030, will NBM customers renegotiate prices?
All of this will have to be tested step by step in the quarterly financial reports that follow.
At least today, SNDK has shown the market something different: it most likely still has cyclical attributes, but at the base of this cycle is an AI engine with continuous production data, plus a 4-year long-term contract shock absorber pad on the outside.
(Personal review, not investment advice. SNDK has risen over 500% year-to-date, with extreme volatility—don't use 'Investor Day narrative' as an entry signal.) When the SEC's approval document came down on June 12, many people only read the headline—T. Rowe Price's active crypto ETF has passed approval. But the document hides a more intriguing detail: this asset management giant, managing $1.8 trillion in assets, has included SHIB and DOGE together in its investable pool. This isn't some offshore fund's random move; it's the first time a meme coin has been reserved for a compliant product framework listed on the NYSE Arca.
BTC spot ETFs have integrated crypto assets into institutional allocation logic, but in the past two years, this logic has had a threshold—only BTC and ETH can be included in core positions, $SOL and XRP are just marginal explorations, and meme coins are not even within the discussion. T. Rowe Price's TKNZ fund is different; it actively manages baskets of 5 to 15 assets, benchmarked by the FTSE Crypto US Listed Index, but aims to outperform the index. SHIB is not the main player in this basket; its significance lies in institutions beginning to put meme leaders into the testing ground of "indexization, basket formation, and thematic development."
On the market side, on the afternoon of August 14, BTC was quoted at $63,478, barely moving for 24 hours, down 1.16% over 7 days, stuck in the $62K to $65K box for two weeks. The Fear and Greed Index is 30, still in the fear range. What's more subtle is ETF capital flow—30-day net inflow was $1.07 billion, but $62.4 million flowed out that day. Institutions didn't withdraw, but they weren't rushing to increase their holdings. This hesitation itself shows that risk appetite is shrinking. ETH fluctuated around $1,860, while SOL bucked the trend and rose 4.7% to $76, clearly showing capital rotation toward high-performance public chains. What about SHIB? At the end of July, it was still hovering around $0.00000461, a cumulative drop of 29% in 2026, a drop of over 58% in the past 12 months, and just hit a low of $0.00000433 in June. With a circulating supply of 589 trillion coins, massive supply is under pressure, and any rebound would require astronomical capital to take over.
So the core issue isn't that SHIB is about to skyrocket. It's that the regulatory framework is redefining what "configurable assets" are. In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC jointly classified SHIB as a digital commodity; in May, the Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee, Japan put it on a whitelist, and now its code appears in ETF filings from mainstream US asset management institutions. Compliance status is rising, but price movements give no face—this is the most difficult part of the current market.
The real contradiction lies here: BTC's institutionalization has opened the door, and funds are beginning to spill over into multi-asset baskets, but where is the boundary of spillover? SHIB's inclusion in the ETF candidate pool means Meme coins can get a "marginal allocation" entry ticket, but whether this ticket can be converted into actual position depends on fund managers' judgment of risk-return ratio, not community enthusiasm. 589 trillion in circulating supply, persistently sluggish on-chain activity, and repeated delays in Shibarium's upgrade—these fundamental issues won't disappear just because of an ETF filing. Conversely, if multi-asset ETFs continue to expand, meme leaders may indeed gain structural buying—not because they have improved, but because the "digital commodities" category has made them from non-allocated to configurable.
The market sentiment on August 14 is telling: $BTC grinding near $63K, institutional funds are moving in and out, and overall risk appetite is tight. SHIB's ETF narrative is more like a regulatory signal, not a catalyst for market movement. In the short term, the price depends on whether it can hold at $0.00000446, while in the medium term, it depends on how much weight the T. Rowe Price fund allocates SHIB when it actually builds positions. Meme coins entering institutional baskets is essentially a boundary test—not measuring SHIB's value, but rather how wide traditional asset management can tolerate the risk spectrum of crypto assets.#闪迪投资者日后, long-term goals become the focus
SanDisk (SNDK) stock price surged over 11%, surging even higher intraday. The direct catalyst is the long-term AI storage strategy released by Investor Day: the company has signed long-term agreements for new business models with eight customers, valued at about $93.9 billion at floor price, covering about half of the 2027 fiscal year and about two-thirds of the 2028 2028 Bitcoin shipments; It also provides guidance for mid-to-high double-digit revenue growth for fiscal years 2028-2030, non-GAAP gross margin of about 80%, and operating margin of about 75%. HBF (High Bandwidth Flash) products are expected to take shape in 2027, specifically targeting storage bottlenecks in the AI inference phase. This is not an ordinary cyclical rebound. Traditional storage relies on quarterly bargaining and price fluctuations, but now SanDisk locks in volume and price through multi-year agreements, directly writtening the rigid demand for flash memory from AI data centers into contracts. The surge in tokens and KV cache driven by inference load pushed enterprise-level flash TAM to the 1.2 zettabyte level by 2030—a logic more solid than simply "price increase." The short-term RSI has entered overbought territory, and a technical pullback is inevitable after the positive sentiment is digested. But after the fundamentals shift, bears are heavily suppressed—those with surplus can fill the short price in the upper resistance range, while those without ammunition can wait for a return to the middle band before reducing positions. AI storage is the main direction, and strong positive news also has a digestion period; position management is more important than chasing gains.Let's take an in-depth look at SanDisk SNDK. This round of rally can no longer be simply regarded as a short-term rebound.
Looking at the technical structure first, the stock price has risen above the 20-, 50-, and 120-day moving averages, and is now challenging the 200-day moving average. Previously, the 1200-1300 chip concentration zone saw the chip concentration continue to rise. After the start, trading volume kept expanding, and the MACD bullish trend continued.
However, the RSI indicator is already close to 80, clearly overbought in the short term. Don't get impulsive and chase after it rises to 1550.
Key resistance level is 1598. Only by holding firm here with increased volume can it challenge 1650-1750; If it surges and then falls below 1455, be cautious of taking large profits. A healthier trend is to rally higher, then pull back to 1455 for a consolidation and shakeout, then choose to break upward after volume shrinks.
Fundamentals are the foundation of this rally. Investors set long-term performance targets, relying on long-term lock-in orders to reduce storage cycle volatility, combined with AI inference driving massive demand for flash memory. The market is repricing it, viewing it from a cyclical stock to an AI storage infrastructure asset.
Many people are concerned about whether the main line of U.S. stock storage will be channeled into the crypto market.
We follow the AI infrastructure industry chain: computing power, data storage, DePIN.
Key targets to watch: TAO, RENDER, FIL, AR, AKT.
If you want to try to catch up on the rally, compared to the leaders that keep surging, second-tier storage infrastructure stocks have better odds. #CPI与PPI同步降温, rate hike divergence widens, with expectations for #标普收盘再创新高,8000 points heating up Global risk assets showed clear divergence, with US stocks showing independent performance, while the crypto market was weakened by US regulatory news, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. Before the US stock market opened, hard technology was the first to make a strong move, with the data storage sector becoming the highlight of the day. SanDisk's pre-market gain briefly exceeded 6%. The company released medium- to long-term performance expectations and introduced shareholder return plans, driving valuation recovery and boosting the entire hardware storage sector in tandem. This is the clearest main theme in today's market. On the crypto market, the pressure remains significant, triggered by negative regulatory concerns from the U.S. SEC. The tokenized asset exemption policy that the market had anticipated was postponed again, and the scheduled crypto special meeting was canceled, causing the previously anticipated policy easing in the market to cool off rapidly. Bitcoin once fell below $63,000 today, and spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows for two consecutive days, with total outflows exceeding $186 million, indicating that institutional funds are choosing to stay on the sidelines for short-term risk-averse and wait-and-see positions. The current market direction largely depends on regulatory expectations, and uncertainty remains high. In practice, it is not recommended to chase highly volatile niche currencies. It is better to patiently wait for regulatory news to materialize and market sentiment to stabilize before positioning accordingly. Going forward, continue to pay attention to the U.S. market hard technology sector and recovery opportunities in mainstream crypto assets. $SNDK $BTC #CPI与PPI同步降温, the rate hike divergence widened 🚀 SanDisk is starting to distribute money! No wonder the price has risen so fiercely
SanDisk Investor Day dropped a bombshell
· From FY2028 to FY2030, revenue will achieve mid-to-high double-digit growth
· Gross margin about 80%, operating profit margin about 75%
· 100% excess cash return to shareholders
I was wondering why the price was so fierce—turns out they're starting to split the money! The market loves stories of "rising and splitting money at the same time."
SanDisk also emphasized that multi-year customer agreements cover more NAND shipments and reduce memory cycle fluctuations—in other words, it means holding onto AI and locking in long-term orders to stabilize performance. Currently, memory chips are booming, AI data centers are scrambling for supplies, NAND supply and demand are tight, and SanDisk is offering a combination of "high growth + high dividends over the next three years," which naturally won the market's attention.
Summary of the meeting — Money Distribution Catalysts the Market, the key is whether it can be realized. Currently, funds follow this logic, and the short-term trend remains unchanged, but don't wait until the news spreads everywhere before rushing in 📈
#闪迪投资者日后, long-term goals become the focus The Bitcoin market is at a delicate tipping point. The latest data from Glassnode shows that BTC futures open interest has surpassed the total trading volume of the day, approaching the historical record set last September. Meanwhile, market liquidity remains thin, and resistance to two-way clearing is relatively low. This is not an ordinary sideways signal—it's a warning that the "pressure cooker" is building up its power. Three data points outline a dangerous balance: Bitcoin futures open interest is approaching historical records, with large amounts of capital making directional bets in the market. However, trading volume is lower than open interest, and the liquidity in the spot market is insufficient to handle the concentrated liquidation of large positions. In an environment of overall thin liquidity, any breakout in any direction could trigger a chain liquidation, leaving the market in a fragile "pressure cooker" equilibrium. When high open interest, low trading volume, and thin liquidity all appear together, the market balance is fragile. It doesn't require much external force to trigger a considerable unilateral rally. A similar event occurred last September when the current open interest level is almost on par with the historical record set in September 2025. After that, Bitcoin experienced a significant trend rally. History does not repeat itself, but the signals from market structure deserve attention: when large amounts of capital accumulate in the futures market, the choice of direction is only a matter of time. Both bulls and bears are "waiting for the wind" to rise. High open interest means both sides have entered the market and will not wait indefinitely. The current sideways movement near $64,000 is a sign of both sides testing each other: if it breaks upward$ETHFI is facing a structural split between the expansion of consumer business and the fact that 90% of assets remain on the staking side. The core conflict now lies in whether withdrawals and stock businesses can be converted into tangible returns from spot tokens.
On-chain settlement data shows that in July, the consumer settlement reached $100.3 million, with an annualized transaction volume of $1.2 billion. However, with daily annualized revenue of about $35 million and a decline in staking TVL, about 90% of AUM remains staked assets, indicating that non-staking income has not changed the protocol's underlying profit structure.
The driving priorities affecting valuation transmission are: staking-side TVL stability first, consumption card monthly settlement growth second, and xStocks tokenized stock regulatory environment third.
The upside scenario must meet the requirement that the monthly settlement on the consumer side exceeds $150 million and that the annualized proportion of non-staking income rises to over 20%. If the staking TVL stabilizes and the programmatic dividend mechanism is transmitted to the spot market, traders will reassess its discount rate for replacing traditional banking business. This scenario fails as a signal for monthly settlement to fall below $100 million for two consecutive quarters.
The volatility scenario is triggered when the monthly settlement amount stays around $100 million and the staking AUM ratio is locked at around 90%. At this time, the volume expansion on the consumer side is insufficient to strongly support spot prices, and the market will maintain a narrow pricing range between shrinking staking returns and product line expansion.
The trigger for the downside scenario is the accelerated loss of staking TVL, causing the annualized daily staking income of $35 million to continue to decline, while xStocks faces regulatory policy resistance. If withdrawal dividends cannot be transmitted to the $ETHFI spot token, the valuation premium will be quickly cleared. This scenario fails as a signal that the dividend mechanism fully covers spot holders.
Key variables to watch over the next 7 days: the trend of staking AUM proportion fluctuations, and whether the daily settlement frequency on the consumer side can remain above 300,000.

О снижении ставки речь при этом все так же не идет. Приоритет на сентя🚨 WALL STREET SQUEEZE → CRYPTO ROTATION?
U.S. markets just delivered a powerful risk-on move, and crypto is beginning to feel the spillover.
Softer inflation and labor data have strengthened expectations for easier monetary policy, pushing Treasury yields lower and creating the conditions for heavily shorted tech and storage names to squeeze higher.
Then the rotation started spreading. 👀
₿ $BTC & $ETH found stronger footing as risk appetite improved, with ETH showing notable resilience.
📈 $xSNDK & $xSPCX also moved sharply higher as traders chased the momentum from traditional markets into stock-linked crypto exposure.
Meanwhile, smaller meme coins experienced bursts of speculative activity, but many of those moves lacked the same follow-through.
The important takeaway:
This isn’t necessarily a broad crypto breakout yet.
It looks more like improving macro conditions are creating a temporary liquidity bridge between U.S. equities and crypto.
If yields continue falling and risk appetite remains strong, that spillover could become more meaningful.
But if the squeeze fades, high-beta assets could give back gains just as quickly.
📌 Watch the sequence:
Lower yields → stronger equities → liquidity rotation → crypto response.
The question now is whether this becomes sustained risk-on positioning or simply another short-covering event.
Follow the liquidity, not the hype. 👀

#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000 #SandiskLongTermTargets $BTC Bitcoin Average Coin Dormancy 30D MA rose to 19 days and moved above the 365D MA for the first time since the start of the year.
Older coins are becoming active again. But after the Coldcard hack, part of this increase may be linked not to selling, but to large-scale BTC transfers to new wallets.
So the current rise in Dormancy should not automatically be interpreted as distribution by LTHs.$BTC spot is already above the 30-day lower boundary. As of 08-14 18:00, spot is $62,747, down 2.9% over 30 days, with a high of $66,803 and a low of $62,456; The perpetual 4-hour range low is even lower, with a 4-hour RSI of 32.6 and a 4-hour MACD bar at -53.9 still negative, with prices slightly below the lower Bollinger band at $62,849.
This is the edge of overselling, not yet a completed liquidation.
The latest Fear Index is 30, and over the past 30 days it has been between 24–34, indicating weak sentiment but no new extreme panic pulse. On-chain, there is also "pressure, not surrendered": MVRV 1.20, NUPL 0.168, SOPR 0.998 (as of August 13). Holders still have floating gains, selling is slightly at a loss, far from a cyclical clearing.
The total market $BTC futures OI$48.1B, with a 24-hour turnover of $47.8B. Spot ETFs had net outflows of -$131M and -$61M over the past two trading days, but since July 16, cumulative net inflows have still been about +$720M, so this is a near-end outflow, not a trend-driven withdrawal.
The current long-short ratio and price at the bottom of the range are divergence, not resonance.

This is where many traders could get trapped.
Crypto doesn't need to crash for opportunities to disappear.
Sometimes the bigger problem is capital concentration.
Right now, liquidity isn't spreading evenly across the market.
A small group of assets can attract attention while dozens of others remain completely ignored.
That creates a market where:
🚀 Winners move violently
😴 Weak coins barely react
💧 Volume concentrates
🔄 Narratives rotate faster
⚠️ Late entries get punished
Recent liquidity analysis has highlighted the same structural theme: capital is increasingly concentrated in BTC, ETH and a narrower group of major assets rather than flowing indiscriminately across the long tail.
So what should traders watch?
Not just the biggest gainers.
Watch where liquidity moves after the first wave.
If capital goes:
BTC → ETH → SOL → DeFi → RWA → smaller caps
that's expansion.
If it goes:
Coin A → Coin B → Coin C
while everything else remains weak…
that's rotation.
Huge difference.
The next major move may not start with a giant candle.
It may start quietly with liquidity beginning to spread.
That's the signal worth watching. 👀
#Crypto #MarketStructure #Liquidity #Altcoins #DeFi
#CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000 #SandiskLongTermTargets 👀 $ETH VS $BTC — IS CAPITAL QUIETLY CHANGING?
Something interesting is developing beneath the surface.
$BTC remains the dominant liquidity asset, but Ethereum is showing signs of a different kind of positioning.
ETH exchange reserves have fallen significantly since January, while stablecoin liquidity has increasingly moved onto Ethereum.
Yet the price isn't exploding.
That disconnect matters.
It suggests the market may be positioning before repricing rather than chasing price after the move.
Meanwhile, BTC is dealing with a completely different problem:
📉 Thin spot liquidity
📉 Weak participation
📉 Heavy sensitivity to macro
📉 Limited follow-through after bullish catalysts
This creates an interesting setup.
If $ETH begins outperforming $BTC while liquidity expands, the signal becomes much stronger.
And if ETH strength spreads into:
$SOL
$AAVE
$LINK
$ONDO
$UNI
$SUI
$AVAX
then the market could transition from isolated rotation into a broader risk-on phase.
But don't front-run confirmation.
The key isn't simply “ETH is going up.”
The key is:
ETH/BTC + liquidity + volume + broader market participation.
When those four start aligning, the rotation becomes much harder to ignore.
Watch the ratio. 👀
#ETH #BTC #Ethereum #Crypto #Liquidity
#CLARITYSECRulesDelayed #CryptoRevenueVsBTC #HormuzPressureRises 🌎 GOOD MACRO… SO WHY IS CRYPTO STILL STRUGGLING?
This is the question traders should be asking.
U.S. inflation has been cooling.
CPI has eased.
PPI has also moved lower.
Yet $BTC remains around the $63K area and $ETH is struggling below $1,900.
That tells us something important:
Macro improvement alone isn't enough.
The market needs actual participation.
And right now, liquidity remains thin.
Spot volumes have weakened substantially, order-book depth has deteriorated, and capital isn't aggressively chasing risk across the entire crypto market.
So the equation looks different:
Falling inflation ✅
Potentially friendlier Fed expectations ✅
But weak spot demand ❌
Thin liquidity ❌
Selective positioning ❌
This is why a bullish macro headline can produce only a temporary bounce instead of a sustained breakout.
The market isn't necessarily rejecting the bullish macro story.
It may simply be saying:
“Show me the liquidity.”
Until fresh capital starts entering broadly, rallies can remain narrow and vulnerable to reversals.
That makes sector rotation MORE important than simply asking whether crypto is bullish or bearish.
Watch where the money goes next. 👀
#Crypto #Bitcoin #Macro #Liquidity #Fed$SNDK I'm too tired to complain. From last night's 1200-plus to today's 1635, there's no pullback, and I'm stuck in the same trap
Last night, Investor Day released a major long-term plan: a target gross margin of 80% for 2028-2030, with all excess cash flow repurchased and returned to shareholders.
Bulls actively entered, combined with some short position stop-losses further amplifying the gains. The core is news-driven rather than large-scale short squeezing.
But an 80% gross margin is a long-term target and cannot be realized in the short term.
1650-1700 is the early trapping zone, with heavy selling pressure.
In the short term, bulls have the advantage, but chasing highs offers little cost-effectiveness.
Holding above 1520, the strong trend continues; If it falls back below 1450, the pulse rally is basically over.
After the dividend in the storage cycle is well realized and fluctuates sharply, do not bet on one side, strictly take profits and stop losses.
