$WDC This quarter's revenue was $3.747 billion, compared to the expected $3.692 billion
Next quarter median guidance is $4.1 billion, with an expected $4.02 billion
Why did the earnings report beat expectations, and Western Digital plunged 20%?
1. This quarter, all indicators exceeded analysts' expectations, but none broke through the most optimistic upper limit of the bullish market
2. The guidance was only slightly above expectations, with rigorous wording in the call and no upward revision of long-term targets
3. The previously estimated huge price increase has already been priced in by the market in advance. ## DePIN: The Sector Where the Charts Lie and the Revenue Doesn't
While headlines call DePIN dead after an 83% market cap collapse from its 2024 peak, usage tells a different story. Akash ($AKT) posted 428% usage growth, active DePIN projects grew from 650 to over 1,170, and aggregate network revenue hit roughly $150M in a single month, this is a rare sector where token price and real adoption have decoupled.
The catalyst is AI compute demand. GPU-hungry AI workloads are pulling capital toward decentralized infrastructure, with Render, Akash, and Aethir all posting elevated utilization tied to this demand. Compute leads: $RENDER, $AKT, $TAO, $IO, $AETHIR. Storage: $FIL, $AR. Wireless: $HNT, with Helium crossing 900,000 active hotspots. Add $ICP, $GRASS, and $HONEY-adjacent bandwidth plays rounding out the map.
Compared objectively: $TAO leads in mindshare and AI-native design, $RENDER has the clearest B2B revenue model, $AKT wins on utilization, while $HNT proves DePIN can build actual consumer subscriptions.
Risks are real, heavy dilution, unproven unit economics, and regulatory ambiguity around physical infrastructure ownership. But this may be the first crypto sector where you can measure product-market fit outside the token chart entirely.
Is DePIN's revenue growth enough to justify a re-rating, or will token dilution keep dragging prices down regardless of usage?"Big banks cut IBIT by 94%—did they really flee from BTC to ETH?" 》
Italian banks cut 94% of IBIT and tripled their staked ETH positions.
At first glance: "Are institutions shifting from BTC to ETH?" ”
We can't draw such conclusions yet. Because in the latest 13th floor,
Although Intesa Sanpaolo has reduced its IBIT spot position to about $1.36 million,
But it still holds about $67.6 million worth of ARKB.
In other words: BTC ETF long positions remain close to $69 million.
Meanwhile, staking ETH ETFs only amounts to about $7.1 million.
So what really happens isn't:
BTC → ETH are fully switching.
It is more like: **institutions are moving from "buying crypto" to "how to allocate crypto." **
BTC continues to be the core position.
ETH, on the other hand, has increased staking yields,
Another set of attractions begins.
Even more interesting: the bank added a 500,000 IBIT put.
This shows that it's not simply a shortish view of BTC,
Instead, it is about more proactive risk management.
What is truly worth watching about this news is not that "IBIT was cut by 94%."
It should be:
**Traditional institutions have already started placing BTC, staked ETH, and options into a single asset allocation framework. **
This is more important than simply "institutional buying coins."
One more reminder:
13F is the quarter-end position snapshot on June 30,
Not a transaction that just happened today.
$BTC $ETH #意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%, increased staked ETH At 3 a.m., I stared at the open interest curve of perpetual contracts and suddenly felt it was like a taut bowstring. The market was unusually quiet, but the long positions quietly piling up in derivatives accounts were already speaking up for everyone. Guess what happens: when everyone is staring at the same target price, will the price still obediently move toward that level? I am reflecting on a phenomenon. Recently, many friends have been sharing various year-end target prices, from BTC to SOL, from OKB to BNB, with each number getting more beautiful than the last. But what matters more is how much of these optimistic expectations have already been priced in in advance. The funding rate for perpetual contracts has remained positive for several consecutive days, indicating that leveraged bulls have an absolute advantage in the market. At times like this, I actually start checking whether the cushion cushion in my position is thick enough. Looking back at the fundamentals of these stocks, each has its own story. BTC's halving effect and continued ETF inflows are hard logic. ETH has expectations of ecosystem recovery after the Cancun upgrade, and SOL has attracted plenty of attention during the meme season. OKB and BNB closely follow the exchange's platform coin buyback logic. None of this is baseless, but precisely because the logic is so smooth, almost no one in the market is willing to price it as "below expectations." I noticed a signal that was being ignored. In the derivatives market, when everyone is crowded on the same side, prices often move not toward consensus, but rather toward the direction that causes the most pain. Currently, on the liquidation map, BTC has accumulated a large number of long positions below 68,000. If it falls below this level, it could trigger a chain liquidation, and then a heavy rebound may occurAfter Xilian launched Stablecard, stablecoin payments finally broke out of the "faster on-chain transfers" cycle and began to fluctuate between daily consumption and cash withdrawals.
The initial batch will be launched in 37 markets, with plans to expand to over 60 by the end of the year. If we count 60, the coverage needs another 62%—steps are underway, but the road ahead is long.
After receiving Western Union, users can directly deposit their money into their USDPT wallet without rushing to switch to local currency; Afterwards, you can use your Visa card to spend at physical stores, online shops, and ATMs, and Apple Pay and Google Pay are also available.
The most valuable aspect here is that it doesn't force global merchants to recognize USDPT one by one.
Users hold stablecoins deployed on Solana, while merchants still operate on Visa's old network, receiving familiar fiat settlements, no need to create wallets, and no need to bear the burden of stablecoin price fluctuations and compliance. Solana is hidden at the very bottom of the payment process: on-chain it handles deposits and transfers, while Visa handles merchants collecting payments.
However, a Stablecard is neither a bank account nor a regular prepaid card. Users must deposit USDPT into a linked non-custodial wallet as collateral, and the amount they can spend equals the collateral amount; The balance does not accrue interest and is not covered by FDIC deposit insurance.
The product has been implemented, but on-chain scale is still quite early.
As of August 3, the total supply of stablecoins on Solana was about $15.6 billion, with USDC about $6.9 billion and USDT about $3.4 billion, together accounting for about 66%. Western Union's USDPT supply is only about 7 million USD, accounting for approximately 0.045% of the entire Solana stablecoin market.
To put it bluntly, Xilian holds a massive remittance network, but hasn't yet truly converted these users into on-chain funds.
Visa's data also illustrates the stage of this sector. By 2025, the transaction volume of stablecoin-linked cards will be about 5.2 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 319%; Compared to Visa's total annual payment volume of $14.2 trillion, this accounts for only about 0.04%.
Growth is really fast, but the scale is really small.
For SOL, the value of such cooperation is not issuing an extra stablecoin, but whether it can successfully complete the complete closed loop of "remittance arrival—on-chain holding—Visa consumption—local cash withdrawal." Unlike transfers between exchanges, this money stays on-chain longer and is closer to real payment needs.
Three sets of data are enough to follow: whether USDPT supply can go from $7 million to $100 million; After the 37 markets were deployed, did monthly active wallets rise accordingly? Can Visa's spending volume continue to push Solana's stablecoin volume to a new high?
Xilian connected the portal, and the real test was: are users willing to leave the remittance on the chain?
#西联稳定币卡落地, Visa payment scenarios are advancing further 🏛️ The Macro Chessboard: The Federal Reserve's Tug of Political Maneuvering
$BTC Unable to escape the macro environment, current positive and negative factors are intertwined.
Federal Reserve: July rate decision 9:3 split, rare split, 3 votes against holding rates unchanged, leaning toward rate hikes. Governor Cook warns: If inflation does not ease, further rate hikes are supported. Crypto assets are highly sensitive to interest rates, and expectations of rate hikes suppress risk appetite. However, she also mentioned that easing tariffs and falling oil prices could ease inflation.
Geopolitics: Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire have driven oil prices to plunge, inflation concerns have eased, and risk appetite has recovered. Theoretically, this is positive for BTC, but BTC has not followed the rise in US stocks (S&P 500 rose 3.12% in month), showing a rare divergence.
Regulatory: The U.S. Clarity Act was voted on by the Senate on August 7. There are no new policy negatives, but disagreements remain over stablecoin terms. China continues to strictly regulate virtual currencies, restricting some capital inflows.
Traditional financial siphons: AI tech stocks have absorbed large amounts of capital, stablecoin supply has contracted, and BTC's correlation with tech stocks has weakened, redefining it as a store of value rather than a high-growth asset.
Positive news: Geopolitical easing, falling oil prices, continued ETF inflows, and clearer regulation.
Negatives: Shadow of Fed rate hikes, no new demand, AI siphoning effect, extreme market fear (fear index 25).
Conclusion: Macro bullish and bearish balance is $BTC To sustain a rebound, simultaneous needs to be met: ETF inflows + falling US Treasury yields + Fed not raising rates. The first two are present; the third remains undecided. $BTC #Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC usher in new growth? #ADP就业降温, #黄金重返4200美元 Fed policy divergence intensifies, why hasn't BTC followed suit? Send her a message to work hard #Circle earnings report and bet on Arc—can USDC see new growth? ⚡ Derivatives Battlefield: Double kill between long and short is about to erupt
Futures and options are the main battlegrounds of the covert battle, with data revealing bloody battles.
Futures Open Interest: Open interest across the network is about $48 billion, CME jumped 6.82% in a single day to 102,840 $BTC, with institutions building positions aggressively. The long-short ratio appears balanced at 50.9% vs 49.1%, but institutional and retail positions diverge.
Funding rate: 0.0065%, neutral to slightly bullish but not overheated. Historical pattern: During periods of negative rates, the average 30-day return was 11.5%, and we are currently in a similar phase.
Liquidation data (24H): Total liquidation across the network was $257 million, including 166 million in short positions and only 91.21 million in long positions. $BTC Short positions liquidated 48 million, 7 times that of bulls! Bears are being continuously strangled.
Clearing Cluster:
🔥 Around 65,000: Large short stop-loss orders, breaking out means short squeeze.
🔥 Around 63,800: Numerous long stop-loss orders, breaking below means stepping down.
BTC is caught between the two, and the direction depends on who gets triggered first.
Options Market: Call open interest at 254,394 $BTC vs Put at 156,227 (62:38 lead), with the biggest pain point at $80,000, as options traders bet on long-term upside.
Positives: Short liquidations far outnumber long positions, options bullish outshine, increased OI while rates remain stable (signals in the accumulation phase).
Negative: High open interest means double kill risk, with two dense liquidation zones acting like landmines.
Conclusion: Derivatives are relatively bullish, but in the short term, they face the "minefield" of 65K/63.8K; whoever blows up first will determine the direction. #闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion new buyback authorization #财报观察员: Mixed results, lock-up lifting approaching!

It's not because the name is new, but because it happens to be stuck at the "easiest spot for emotions to ignite."
The 24-hour contract volume has reached 111.16M USDT, with open interest still at 184,587,428 SKYAI, and the funding rate at +0.0237%. With prices rising and open interest holding up, it shows that a considerable amount of contract capital has been chased.
I haven't opened a position, so it's hard to see spot contracts for this kind of stock. The contracts are already full, and the risk report ratio isn't enough. If I really want to do it, I'll just wait for a sharp sell-off and see if anyone buys back, not chasing the high.

SanDisk expects revenue next quarter to be between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion, with a median of $10.55 billion, nearly 5.5% below analysts' forecast of $11.16 billion.
—SanDisk gave everything it could, but the stock price still crashed
This isn't SanDisk's fault; it's a blow that every stock pushed to the skies by AI stories will eventually face.
SanDisk expects revenue next quarter to be between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion, with a median of $10.55 billion, nearly 5.5% below analysts' forecast of $11.16 billion.
Last night, SanDisk released its Q4 financial report—revenue of $8.97 billion, up 372% year-on-year. Adjusted EPS was $39.25, up 135 times from $0.29 a year ago. Gross margin was 84.6%, up from 26.2% a year ago, tripling in size.
The board made a bold move: an additional $14 billion buyback, bringing the total remaining buyback authorization to $15.5 billion.
"This financial report is just too explosive, isn't it?" Buy it! ”
Waking up, SanDisk plunged after trading.
He was completely stunned again.
"No, such impressive performance—what makes it possible?"
Why? You still look at this market with outdated perspectives.
After the U.S. market closed on August 5, SanDisk and Western Digital both released earnings reports.
SanDisk's data center business—revenue of $2.98 billion, up 1298% year-over-year. You read that right, it's 1298%, not 12.98%.
Edge computing reached 5.43 billion, a year-on-year increase of 392%. Annual revenue was 20.25 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 175%.
Eight long-term NBM agreements, with guaranteed minimum revenue of $93.9 billion and customer default coverage of $16.5 billion. More than half of the capacity for fiscal year 2027 has been locked in ahead of schedule, and two-thirds for fiscal year 2028 has been scheduled.
The CEO said during the call: "The growth rate of AI storage demand has already outpaced our supply capacity, and even after the largest customer signed contracts, they are still placing additional orders. ”
Even with all the capacity sold, customers are still chasing after more orders.
In any normal market, wouldn't this stock price skyrocket?
But the market doesn't see it that way.
EPS guidance is $44 to $46, with the market expectation of $45.58—just below expectations.
Gross margin guidance is 83% to 85%, roughly flat compared to this quarter's 84.6%, showing signs of peaking.
The market follows only one logic: you were good in the past, but can the future be better?
SanDisk's answer was: Yes, but not as good as you think.
After the stock price rose 468%, the earnings report beating expectations was no longer enough.
So far this year, SanDisk's stock price has risen nearly fivefold, while the S&P 500 has only gained 13%.
A 468% increase has already exhausted the story of the "AI storage demand explosion."
Now, what the market wants is not "how much money you have made"—what the market wants is "how much more money you can make."
If the guidance is even a little weak, the stock price will crash for you.
Western Digital released its earnings report on the same day—revenue of 3.75 billion yuan, earnings of 3.56 beating expectations, and guidance also beating forecasts.
And what happened? It fell 11% in after-hours trading.
Both families collapsed together.
What does this indicate?
This shows it's not SanDisk's problem alone—it's the entire storage sector, and the market is repricing.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and a bunch of institutions gave "strong buy" orders, with an average target price of $2,400. But the stock price has already fallen 40% from its June high.
Expectations were set so high that even the earnings that exceeded expectations couldn't be filled.
The market isn't trading what you do.
It's about trading—what else can you do?
SanDisk gave everything it could: explosive performance, 14 billion yuan buybacks, eight long-term contracts locked in for the next four years, and a guaranteed minimum income of 93.9 billion yuan.
But the market is focused on that one sentence: next quarter's guidance is just a little lacking.
So 8% is gone.
This isn't SanDisk's fault; it's a blow that every stock pushed to the skies by AI stories will eventually face.
SanDisk expects revenue next quarter to be between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion, with a median of $10.55 billion, nearly 5.5% below analysts' forecast of $11.16 billion.
Is it the market that's too harsh, or is the valuation just too expensive?TETHER POSTS $1.5B PROFIT AS CORPORATE CAPITAL FLOWS EXPAND BITCOIN TREASURY ALLOCATIONS 📈
Latest financial attestations confirm Tether generated $1.5 billion in Q2 net profit, expanding its reserve surplus to $4.11 billion. Alongside operating profitability, the stablecoin issuer accumulated approximately 1,800 BTC into its reserve asset portfolio. This consistent accumulation strategy reinforces the company's proactive approach to strengthening its corporate balance sheet.
Concurrently, institutional Bitcoin accumulation across public corporations continues at a steady pace. The Smarter Web Company announced acquiring an additional 11.89 BTC for approximately £559,493, elevating total treasury holdings to 2,712 BTC. Asset manager Strive also reported purchasing 20 BTC at an average price of $63,191 per BTC, reaching a milestone of 20,020 BTC valued at approximately $1.26 billion.
Addressing market observations, Michael Saylor reiterated his personal conviction, stating he has never sold or transferred a single satoshi of his personal holdings. He clarified the distinction between long-term personal asset accumulation and flexible corporate treasury management at Strategy. Maintaining robust balance sheets ensures the market effectively absorbs institutional capital flows.
In your opinion, will continuous Bitcoin accumulation by major corporations establish a new standard for corporate treasury management strategies?

4. 反弹缺乏增量资金确认：需求/发行比率仍为负值，新需求尚未出现
5. 58,000-59,000区间为下一有效支撑：若多重支撑失守，需关注更深回调风险$BTC $ETH $SNDK #ADP就业降温，联储政策分歧加剧 Bitcoin trades near $64,800 as U.S. equities print fresh records, yet spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted zero outflow days in August and absorbed more than $600 million in net inflows over the past three sessions.
What happened is straightforward: institutional demand through ETFs continues to offset long-term holder selling of over 11,500 BTC early in the month. Ethereum has led the relative recovery, trading near $1,900, while Solana, XRP, BNB, and Chainlink remain range-bound. Layer-2 names such as Arbitrum and Optimism, along with DeFi tokens like Aave and Injective, show muted volume, and RWA-focused assets including Ondo have yet to attract meaningful rotation.
This matters because the market is no longer driven by retail leverage or broad risk-on sentiment. ETF absorption is providing a measurable floor, but liquidity remains thin and the Fed’s recent hold left September policy uncertain. The opportunity is that sustained institutional flows could eventually force a break above $65,000 if selling pressure continues to be absorbed. The risk is that crypto stays decoupled from equity strength until a clearer regulatory or macro catalyst arrives, leaving altcoins vulnerable to further consolidation.
Watch whether the current ETF bid proves durable enough to shift market structure, or simply delays the next test of lower support.
Is this institutional support building a genuine base, or merely masking the absence of broader participation?Many retail investors think that a flat market is stagnant, but they fail to see the astonishing institutional chip exchanges in the backend data.
Combining the current order book depth with the flow of funds from U.S. and Hong Kong institutions, these three hidden data truths must be clearly examined:
1. $BTC: Inverted Premium Indicators and "Silent Buying"
The Coinbase Premium Index quickly pulled back after repeatedly experiencing extreme negative values at the lower edge of the liquidation range. What does this mean? U.S. compliant institutions are using over-the-counter (OTC) selling pressure and derivative liquidations to secretly buy spot during the most liquid periods. Retail investors hand over their chips, while big players silently lock up their positions.
2. $ETH: L2 protocol yields and the "lock-up deadlock" of public chain staking
Don't just focus on the ETH to BTC exchange rate movement. In fact, the total staking amount on Ethereum's Beacon Chain is still reaching an all-time high, with over 28% of liquidity locked in deposit. The low rates for perpetual contracts only indicate that leveraged players are retreating, and the underlying spot deflation and contraction structure is even tougher than in the previous bull market.
3. $BNB: The "Ecosystem Cash Flow" Behind High Resistance
Despite liquidity squeezes on mainstream altcoins, BNB still maintains extremely high relative strength. The reason is simple: during market volatility, the market lacks certainty, and BNB relies on platform Launchpool staking and fee burning, making it one of the few defensive tokens on the entire network with "inherently positive cash flow." Gold is rising strongly, but why is BTC absent?
Recently, gold has been bullish due to multiple favorable factors such as cooling employment, falling Middle Eastern oil prices, continued central bank gold purchases, and a rebound in oversold technical sectors.
However, caution is needed regarding risks in tonight's nonfarm payroll data: if the data exceeds expectations and rate cut expectations rebound, gold prices may surge and pull back.
Strategically, avoid blindly chasing long positions, rely mainly on support for low bullish positions, and strictly control risk control.
In contrast, BTC did not follow the rise, mainly because it remains a risk asset and lacks sufficient safe-haven status; Lack of central bank-level buying endorsement; Moreover, after the halving benefits were realized, capital activity declined. Currently, it only has a barely interest rate cut logic, and its flexibility is far inferior to gold. Before the non-farm payroll season, it is recommended to lighten gold positions, BTC to wait and see for now, with risk control as the priority. $BTC #ADP就业降温, #黄金重返4200美元 Fed policy divisions intensify, why hasn't BTC followed the rise? $BEAT 别想着抄底，根本没底！空吧！

Pessimistic outlook: $3.00B at 50-70% off, oscillating within a neutral range; optimistic outlook: revenue doubling, burns landing, enterprise clients coming in, FDV corresponding to P/S, aligning with the top companies. In the end: insufficient evidence, narrative-driven (score 47/100). Token value capture has been implemented (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap is relatively high relative to fundamentals, overdrawing expectations, and FDV is moderate. Main risks: short-term massive unlocking and sell-off, long-term protocol revenue wiping out, token demand relying solely on incentives (once incentives break down, usage collapses).

#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbit🐋 Whale code: Decoding the true intentions of Big money
Whales are the "smart money" in the market, and their on-chain footprints are clearly directed.
Total change: The holdings of giant whales have increased from 2.87 million to 3.06 million $BTC , with an increase of nearly 200,000 in half a year (over 12 billion US dollars). After falling below 60,000 in June, the pace of increased holdings has accelerated, indicating that below 60,000 is the value zone recognized by institutions.
New address fundraising: Within 3 hours, 4 brand-new wallets received 1,540 ($99.4 million) from Galaxy Digital and BitGo. All were newly opened accounts, pointing to institutional level position building.
A large inflow of BTC into accumulated addresses: 38,000 $BTC was transferred to long-term holding wallets, a rare occurrence in history. However, the average price of these addresses is $70,000, which is higher than the current price - it might be laying out for the break-even line. Once it rises to 70K, there may be pressure to exit.
Leveraged whale's "Life and death game" : A certain address shorted 1,600 BTC at 40 times (settlement price 64,889). In the early hours of the morning, BTC hit 65,000, triggering a stop-loss. Reducing the position by 200 $BTC led to a loss of 146,000 US dollars. I still hold 1,400 short positions at present, with a liquidation price of 64,998 - just $410 away from a total margin call! 65,000 became the "noose" of the bears.
Risk Signal: Ancient whales are transferring old coins to Coinbase. The inflow ratio of Binance whales has risen to 0.52, and some major players are preparing to sell.
Positive news: Total increase in holdings by whales, new addresses for clearing goods, and large inflows of accumulated addresses.
Negative factors: Revival of old coins, increased inflow of giant whales into exchanges.
Conclusion: Large funds are generally bullish, but there are local differences. 65,000 is the point of battle between bulls and bears.#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 #Circle财报后押注Arc，USDC能否迎来新增长？ #ADP就业降温，联储政策分歧加剧 Bitcoin sits near $64,800 while the S&P 500 has added roughly the entire crypto market’s capitalization this month on AI-driven gains.
The divergence is clear. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded no outflow days in August so far, with roughly $626 million in net inflows over the recent three sessions, offsetting profit-taking by long-term holders who sold more than 11,500 BTC early in the month. Ethereum has shown relative strength, trading near $1,900 and outperforming on the daily move, while Solana and XRP remain range-bound near $74 and $1.06.
Market structure still favors consolidation. Liquidity is thinner than during prior expansion phases, CME open interest sits near multi-year lows, and the Fed’s fifth consecutive hold at 3.50–3.75% left September policy uncertain. Institutional demand through ETFs is real and measurable, yet it has not yet produced a decisive break above $65,000. Risks include further macro tightening or delayed regulatory clarity; the opportunity lies in whether sustained ETF absorption can absorb residual selling without requiring broad retail participation.
Traders should monitor the $65,000 level, daily ETF flow continuity, and any shift in the ETH/BTC ratio for signs of broader risk appetite returning.
Does the current ETF support represent a durable institutional floor, or simply a temporary offset until a clearer macro catalyst appears?Jiang Zhuo'er: The Bitcoin floor is expected to be $44,000 this round, which will appear by the end of October
Jiang Zhuo'er combined the four-year cycle model with Strategy's mNAV indicator to offer a new judgment of the cycle bottom: predicting that Bitcoin's current bottom will be around $44,000, with the timing at the end of October.
The logic is that the mNAV indicator predicts BTC price bottoming ahead of time, then combines historical bull and bear retracements to predict it, while also providing a long-strategy short-selling BTC arbitrage approach.
The market has two views
🔺 Supporters: Cycle models have historical reference value. The macro high interest rate environment is not over and there is still room to decline. It is reasonable for a bottom to reach a bottom in Q4.
🔻 Skeptic: Historical cycles do not simply replicate. ETF institutional funds and US policy variables can alter past volatility patterns, and precise price and timing forecasts themselves carry high uncertainty.
📌 My personal opinion
Periodic models can be used as references, but don't take point or time as standard answers to copy homework.
No matter how good the model is, it can't withstand a macro black swan. External variables like U.S. Treasuries, inflation, and regulations can rewrite the rhythm of the cycle at any time.
Many people make a common mistake: just stubbornly waiting for a 44,000 listing order, which might not even be awarded; even if it drops, it might not happen exactly at the end of October.
This range can be treated as a key area to watch, rather than being the only signal to catch the dip. The real bottom still depends on signs such as exhausted selling pressure and market resilience to confirm it.
Practical Reminder:
Do not open positions based on a single person's prediction. Put it into your observation pool and make a comprehensive judgment combining macro, ETF funds, and on-chain data.#闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
SanDisk's financial report is indeed accurate. Q4 revenue was $8.97 billion, a year-on-year surge of 372%, exceeding the market expectation of about $8.4 billion. Adjusted EPS was $39.25, up from $0.29 a year ago, up 135 times. Gross margin was 84.6%, up from 26.2% a year ago, tripling in size. Full-year revenue was $20.25 billion, a year-on-year increase of 175%. The data center business is even more impressive, with revenue of $2.98 billion, a year-on-year surge of 1298%. Eight long-term agreements have locked in $93.9 billion in guaranteed revenue.
The board also approved $14 billion in additional buybacks, bringing the total remaining authorization to $15.5 billion.
Then it fell nearly 8% in after-hours trading.
This scene has played out repeatedly this year—performance hitting record highs, stock prices hitting new lows. In July, SK Hynix plunged 15% after profits fell 5% below expectations, and SanDisk had already fallen 47% in July.
The problem lies in expectations. SanDisk expects next quarter's revenue to be $10.3–$10.8 billion, with a median of $10.55 billion, about $250 million below FactSet's forecast of $10.82 billion. EPS guidance is $44-46, market expectation is $45.58, just at the lower boundary. Gross margin guidance is 83%-85%, roughly unchanged from this quarter's 84.6%.
What the market wants now is not "how much you earned in the past," but "how much you can still earn in the future." SanDisk's answer was: Yes, but not as good as you think.
After the stock price rose 468%, the earnings report beating expectations was no longer enough. Expectations were set so high that even the numbers exceeding expectations couldn't be filled. Western Digital released its earnings report the same day, with both revenue and EPS exceeding expectations, but fell 11% in after-hours trading. It's not SanDisk alone's fault; it's the pricing logic of the entire storage sector loosening.
The 14 billion yuan buyback indicates that management believes the buyback is more cost-effective than expanding production. But buybacks can only provide a bottom-up and cannot reverse the direction. Eight long-term agreements, guaranteed minimum income of 93.9 billion, an 84.6% gross margin—all these are well known in the market. What the market doesn't know is whether it can go even higher after the gross margin reaches 84.6%.
Storage is a cyclical industry. The more aggressive the upward cycle, the more fragile the expectations are when they are pushed to the limit. SanDisk gave everything it could, but the market only focused on that one sentence: "The guidance is just a little off." I won't heavily bet on the direction at this level; I'll wait until this pullback clears out expectations before reconsidering. $SNDK In the early hours of August 6 Beijing time, SanDisk delivered a nearly perfect Q4 earnings report after the U.S. market closed: revenue was $8.97 billion, a surge of 372% year-on-year and a 51% increase quarter-on-quarter, exceeding the market expectation of $8.395 billion; adjusted earnings per share were $39.25, about 14% above the market expectation of $34.59; adjusted gross margin soared to 84.6%, setting a single-quarter record. Then—pre-market plunges of 9%, at one point falling more than 10%.
The more explosive the performance, the more severe the drop.
The fundamentals are so good that there are no friends, and the market says it's not enough
SanDisk's financial report is flawless. Revenue was $8.965 billion, up 372% year-on-year and 51% quarter-on-quarter. Data center revenue was $2.977 billion, doubling quarter-on-quarter and soaring 1298% year-on-year, accounting for about one-third of total revenue. Gross margin was 84.6%, net margin soared to 77%—selling NAND for one yuan earned 77%.
The root cause is not the performance itself, but that the next quarter's guidance did not meet expectations that the market had already hit the ceiling. SanDisk's Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue guidance ranged from $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion, below the market consensus of $11.15 billion. Citi lowered its price target from $2,500 to $2,100, and Wells Fargo from $1,620 to $1,400.
"Expectations Cliff"—performance exceeds consensus but does not exceed the higher threshold required by extremely crowded positions. This year, the stock price has risen nearly 470% cumulatively; the market's demand is not "good," but "better than everyone imagines."
Even after signing a $93.9 billion contract, it still can't shed the label of cycle
The most notable change in this financial report is not in the income statement, but in the transformation of its business model. SanDisk is shifting its NAND from a quarterly transaction model to a multi-year capacity reservation model. So far, 10 agreements have been signed, covering 8 customers, with minimum contract revenue of $93.9 billion, including $16.5 billion in financial guarantees. More than half of production in fiscal year 2027 and about two-thirds in fiscal year 2028 have been locked in by long-term agreements. CEO David Goeckeler said: "Compared to just three quarters ago, this is several light-years ahead of us. ”
But the market is not buying it. The narrative of the storage industry shifting from cyclical stocks to "infrastructure providers with long-term revenue visibility" will need time to prove. Goldman Sachs analysts succinctly pointed out that the core problem in the current storage industry is not fundamentals deteriorating, but that market expectations have exceeded reality.Trading Review | Understand the expectation gap and seize short-selling opportunities at the earnings window
If you read the financial report logic analysis I compiled the night before, it should be easy to spot the bearish trading window for $SNDK.
Looking back at the performance of several stocks after their earnings reports were released, common signals can be found. From the perspective of that time, $SNDK was a highly certain strategic opportunity.
The previous day, I positioned a short position near $1420, using 10x leverage. Today, I closed everything at the $1270 price level, and this trade ultimately earned a profit of 4450U, with a return rate of 104%.
Reviewing this operation, rather than the final profit, it's more worthwhile to review the entire process of implementing the trading logic. My previous core viewpoint: the biggest risk of this target is not the poor financial data itself, but that the market has already raised expectations extremely high, and earnings must far exceed everyone's estimates to support the valuation after the previous surge.
The actual financial report and book data are actually quite impressive.
Quarterly revenue reached $8.97 billion, exceeding the market estimate of $8.48 billion; adjusted EPS reached $39.25, also exceeding market expectations; data center business revenue grew by 103%, with gross margin soaring to 84.6%.
However, even with all core indicators meeting the targets, after-hours prices still experienced a drawdown of over 12%.
The real contradiction lies in next quarter's business guidance.
Institutions have projected revenue between $10.3 and $10.8 billion, with EPS between $44 and $46. Judging by the numbers alone, these are still very strong, but compared to the previously raised market expectations, there are no surprises beyond expectations. This stock has risen nearly 470% this year. At this point, the market is no longer seeking steady growth, but a continuous stream of unexpectedly positive stimulus.
Once the subsequent guidance falls from significantly exceeding expectations to just in line with expectations, the funds entering earlier will have ample reason to realize unrealized gains, providing a solid foundation for short-term bears to engage in strategic maneuvering. Previously, AMD and SPCX have already played out identical market scenarios, and with ready-made cases as references, the chances of trading naturally increase further.
The essence of my trade game is the expectation gap:
Before the earnings were released, the stock price had already surged in advance, pushing market optimism to its peak. Compared to continuing to open up upward momentum, the risk of profit-taking after the positive news materializes and then leading to a downside is much greater.
Many traders fall into a misconception: just because financial reports look good, they assume stock prices should rise in tandem. But secondary market pricing is never just about numbers in reports; it also depends on the gap between actual results and market forecasts.
AMD is like this, SPCX is like this, and $SNDK have replicated this operating logic.
I chose to close all my positions around 1270 because the expected earnings market was fully priced in.
If you keep holding positions, the trading logic completely changes—it's no longer about the gap in financial reports but about betting on the storage industry's cycle turning point. This is a completely separate trading logic and should not be confused.
Being able to judge the right direction and write analytical opinions is not difficult. What truly tests a person is whether they dare to open positions based on their own judgment when market heat peaks; and whether they can strictly follow the original plan and exit on time after making a profit on paper.
Making a profit in a single trade does not mean every subsequent judgment will go as planned. A single profit only proves that the current logic fits the market environment perfectly. Sticking to the stop-loss rule and exiting at preset levels is the key to staying in the market long-term. 🧊 Liquidity microscope: Why $BTC is lying flat at 64K?
The US stock market hit a new high and gold soared, but BTC remained motionless. The root cause lies in liquidity.
Core indicator: Demand/issuance ratio -5.43, meaning that the newly produced BTC far exceeds the newly entered funds. The rebound is entirely due to "no one selling" rather than "many people buying". The net flow of the coin age was 85,500 coins, and 5.5 billion US dollars were withdrawn from circulation. This was the only support.
ETF funds
✅ has seen a net inflow of $626 million for three consecutive days. Blackrock IBIT led with $196.8 million in a single day, with total assets of $79.2 billion, accounting for 6.09% of its market value.
⚠️ but the net outflow over 30 days still reached $2.1 billion$BTC . The recent inflows are merely "stopping the bleeding" rather than "transfusing blood".
Derivatives: Open interest remained high (about 48 billion US dollars), and CME jumped 6.82% in a single day, indicating that institutions were rebuilding their positions. The funding rate is 0.0065% (neutral), with no overheating. The clearing heat map shows that there are 65,000 short stop-losses and 63,800 long stop-losses.
Macro divergence: The S&P 500 rose by 3.12% month-on-month, while BTC only increased by 2%. The suction effect of AI technology stocks is obvious. The BVIV volatility has dropped to 36%, which is the narrowest range.
Positive news: Continuous net inflow of ETFs and supply contraction.
Negative factors: No new demand, negative demand in the United States, expectations of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Conclusion: The liquidity contraction provides a bottom, but there is a lack of incremental catalysts, and the price is waiting to break through in an extremely narrow range.$BTC #闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权 #Circle财报后押注Arc，USDC能否迎来新增长？ #财报观察员：业绩喜忧参半，解禁将至！SpaceX后续怎么看？ $UB the leader in the "memory layer" of AI Agents
UB is Unibase's native token, designed as a decentralized AI memory layer. It provides AI agents with long-term memory, cross-platform interoperability, on-chain identity, and decentralized storage. The story is very interesting: the AI Agent concept, an open agent internet, and decentralized memory layer expansion.
But token economics are a major flaw: total supply of 10 billion tokens, currently circulating 2.5 billion tokens (only 25%). There are still 7.5 billion tokens locked in the hands of project teams and early investors. Small circulating market + massive unlock = Dog Farm perfectly controls. US SENATE DEFERS CLARITY ACT VOTE TO PRIORIZE FEDERAL FUNDING LEGISLATION 🏛️
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) vote in the U.S. Senate faces a procedural delay, though Senate leadership confirmed the deferral stems from scheduling constraints rather than a lack of bipartisan support. Senate Majority Leader John Thune prioritized passing a Continuing Resolution to maintain federal government operations and prevent an impending government shutdown, shifting the immediate legislative calendar.
Following the resolution of the federal funding measure, Senate leadership can file a cloture petition to formally conclude floor debate. Under Senate procedural guidelines, a final vote on the CLARITY Act could occur approximately 30 hours after the cloture filing. Consequently, a viable legislative pathway remains open to advance the bill prior to the congressional recess scheduled for August 7.
Timing variables within the U.S. Senate remain a central focal point across global digital asset markets. Establishing a transparent statutory framework promises long-term stability for international financial systems. Standardized regulatory environments combined with deep market liquidity continue to provide a firm foundation for market absorption during legislative deliberations.
In your opinion, will the U.S. Senate complete the CLARITY Act procedural vote prior to the August 7 recess to establish a definitive regulatory benchmark?
Please do your own research carefully before making any transactions (DYOR).$BTC $HBAR $HYPE 🔬 On-chain capital flow: Who is buying, and who is selling?
On-chain data reveals the most authentic buying and selling games.
Exchange Flow: Daily spot net inflow of +$21.1 million, coin-inflows usually signal selling pressure. Structurally, Binance's whale inflow ratio surged to 0.52 (the highest in 4 months), indicating that major players are taking action while retail investors are holding their ground.
Age-based net flow: In the past 30 days, -85,500 BTC were transferred into long-term holdings (worth $5.5 billion), with 7 consecutive months of decline. Continuous supply contraction is the core pillar for prices not falling.
Whale Tracking:
🐳 Accumulation addresses saw a single-day inflow of 38,000 $BTC, a historically high scale, but the average cost of these addresses is about $70,000, higher than the current price, so it is possible that this is merely to lower the average price.
🐳 Ancient miners transferred 2,650 coins to FalconX, addresses dormant for 14.5 years continue to deposit to CEXs, and the awakening of old coins poses potential supply pressure.
Miners: MARA transferred 6,000 (or for asset management), but overall deposit trading volume declined, easing selling pressure.
Positive: Long-term holders continue to accumulate, and tradable $BTC are becoming scarcer.
Negative: Coinbase premium is negative, US institutions lack buying enthusiasm; NVT Golden Cross weakens, network activity does not match price.
Conclusion: Supply contraction supports the bottom, but lack of demand limits upward movement, putting the market in a "spring compression" state. $BTC #闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion new buyback authorization #Circle财报后押注Arc USDC can see new growth? #财报观察员: Mixed results, lock-up lifting imminent! What is SpaceX's outlook? A lot happened this week. SPCX released its first earnings report and lifted the lock-up on hundreds of billions of chips; SanDisk delivered a perfect report card; the US-Iran ceasefire agreement is close to being implemented; oil prices have plunged from 100 to 79. But all of this, in front of the set of numbers at 8:30 tomorrow night, is just a warm-up. At 20:30 Beijing time on August 7, the U.S. Department of Labor released the July nonfarm payroll data. This is the last hard data set before the September FOMC meeting with dot plot that could change rate hike expectations. Whether you hold coins or are empty, you need to keep a close eye on this time tomorrow night. What does the market expect? Dow Jones consensus expects 85,000 new viewers, Reuters median 83,000 to 85,000, and Barclays leans toward 100,000 views. The unemployment rate was expected to be 4.3%, slightly higher than June's 4.2%. But Wednesday's ADP data has already given it a scream: only 44,000 new jobs were added in the private sector in July, less than half the market expectation of 75,000. Kalshi predicts that in the market, the probability of betting over 80,000 new players is only 47%, while the probability of betting less than 60,000 is one-third. This is not "market disagreement," but rather "the market is prepared for weak data, but there is no consensus on how weak it will be." Why nonfarms directly determine the direction of $BTC and $ETH: The transmission chain is very straightforward. Nonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations (new payrolls exceeded 100,000 units, wage growth rebounded) → Rate hike expectations heat up → US Treasury yields rise → liquidity tightens→ zero cash flow assets under pressure. BTC and ETH have repeatedly validated this logic over the past two months: every time they increase#闪迪财报双超预期，新增140亿美元回购授权
Everyone was cheering the earnings.
I lowkey thought the real trade was the expectations.
I opened a short around 1337.26 before the report. Not because I expected weak numbers, but because the market had already priced in almost every bullish headline. Revenue beat. EPS beat. Data center growth exploded. Margins hit fresh highs. Even a huge buyback. None of that mattered if guidance couldn’t clear the bar.
That’s exactly what happened. Q1 FY2027 guidance came in below consensus, sellers rushed in, and the short played out. I’m watching 1250 as the next key support. If momentum stays weak, 1080–1100 is on my radar. I’ve already trailed my stop toward 1320 to lock in gains.
The best trades usually come from expectation gaps, not headline numbers. No cap, a “beat” means nothing when everyone expected even more.
$BTC $SKHYNIX #黄金重返4200美元，BTC为何没跟涨？
最近行情一个有意思的现象：黄金不断冲高，但比特币横盘不动，二者不都是避险资产吗？
1. 黄金是传统纯避险：地缘冲突、央行囤金、市场恐慌资金首选，属于防御型保值资产；
2. BTC本质是风险成长资产，只在流动性宽松、市场风险偏好高时上涨；当下资金全扎堆美股科技股，加密市场流动性不足；
3. 行情轮动规律：危机恐慌阶段黄金先行，等美联储降息释放流动性后，资金才会轮动进入加密赛道。
短期不用指望BTC跟着黄金大涨，重点留意后续美债收益率、美联储讲话这类流动性信号。
大家怎么看本轮BTC滞后行情？评论区彦祖们交流思路。Honestly, what I care about this time is not whether the financial report is good, but whether market expectations are already maxed out. SanDisk's revenue was $8.97 billion and EPS of $39.25, both exceeding expectations. The data center business and buybacks were also impressive, but the Q1 revenue guidance median was $10.55 billion, below the expected $10.82 billion, so funds still chose to cash in. I focused on pullback opportunities near 1337.26, more based on expectations than betting on performance. Sigh, those who have fallen into this trap tell you: don't just focus on the numbers in financial trading; the market cares more about the future. The above is just my review and does not represent any investment advice. $SAND $BTC Fundamental Research Report $SUSHI / SushiSwap (DeFi) $3.20
Essentially: SushiSwap ($SUSHI) has an overall score of 48/100, rated as an early-stage project, with insufficient validation. 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: SushiSwap (token $SUSHI), DeFi sector. Focuses on multi-chain DEXs. Benchmarks UNI and CAKE. Traditional centralized platforms charge commissions of 15-40%, with user data not autonomous. Lower on-chain trustless transaction fees, token incentives convert early users into contributors. Average order value is $50-500/month, settlement requires USDC or fiat currency. Narrative-driven track, bear market usage cut by 60-80%. Positioned as an end-to-end vertical platform. Product launch: protocol layer officially operational, on-chain dashboard shows protocol fees accumulating, showing signs of paid usage. Latest version not found, 60 valid submissions in the past 90 days.
On the user side, address MAU is not disclosed, DAU is not disclosed, 24h transaction volume $80.00M, TVL not found. 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. Using NVIDIA GPUs does not mean NVIDIA investment, and going public on exchanges does not mean strategic investment.
On the token side, total supply is 1,300,000,000, circulating 950,000,000 (73.1%), FDV $4.20B, next unlock is 2026-Q4 (accounting for +3.50% circulating volume), annualized buyback burn is not explicitly repurchased or burned. Must you buy coins to use the product? Some need to capture medium value (staking/discounting/governance). Looking at it together with peers (unified caliber, no cross-sector random comparison): In terms of circulating market cap, SushiSwap is $3.00B, UNI is undisclosed, CAKE is not disclosed. In terms of FDV, SushiSwap is $4.20B, UNI is undisclosed, CAKE is not disclosed. In terms of annualized revenue, SushiSwap is $2.00M, UNI is not disclosed, CAKE is not disclosed. For monthly active addresses or users, SushiSwap is not disclosed, UNI is not disclosed, CAKE is not disclosed. Figures are based on public data snapshots; some omissions will be supplemented by official self-reports or industry standards. Valuation: circulating market cap $3.00B, FDV $4.20B, P/S 1500.0x, FDV divided by revenue 2100.0x. Pessimistic view is $3.00B at 50-70% of the original price, fluctuating in a neutral range; optimistic view is revenue doubling, burn deployment, enterprise clients entering the market, FDV corresponding to P/S, aligned with the top. To summarize: insufficient evidence, narrative-driven (score 48/100). Token value capture has been implemented (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap is relatively high relative to fundamentals, overdrawing expectations, and FDV is moderate. Three major risks: short-term large unlocks and sell-offs, long-term protocol revenue reverting to zero, token demand relying solely on incentives (incentive interruption leads to usage collapse). Tracking indicators: protocol fee weekly, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balance, GitHub version releases. The above is the logic and judgment of public information and does not constitute buy or sell advice. Core financial indicators deviate by more than 30%, conclusions need to be re-evaluated.
After the research report is finished, take a closer look.
#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbitexcept for some risk-loving gamblers, generally don't dare to heavily enter with high leverage at such high points to chase the price. Are they really not afraid of a sudden crash? These days, we've seen at least four or five strong altcoins pump and dump quickly and violently. I won't name names, but I've shorted three or four and won all, though it was thrilling. I always trade with real funds, verifiable and transparent, not just talk or posting one or two questionable screenshots. The long side is not to be feared; the only threats to my short positions are two types of "madmen and fools" who sneak into the short seller team. Their stop-losses are either set too conservatively and low (intending to gamble big with small stakes) or their liquidation points are very low (heavy positions with high leverage: 10x liquidates if price rises less than 10%, 20x liquidates if price rises less than 5%). Whether it's cautious stop-loss or gambler's self-pulled liquidation, the effects are huge and rapid. I've personally experienced this twice within two days on two coins: within just seconds, price surged over 20%, 25%. What does this mean? If the initial takeoff point includes some "isolated margin shorts" pre-placed, when triggered, it's liquidation time. Even with 5x leverage, small positions of 10u, medium 100u, or large 1000u are wiped out instantly. Because pre-placed isolated margin orders give you no time to add margin within 10 seconds; positions instantly flip to buy orders, fueling the rally. Each liquidated short order becomes a buy order, pushing the price higher. For example, if a batch at 0.031 liquidates 1 million worth, that 1 million buy order instantly pushes price to 0.032, wiping out the shorts with stop-loss at 0.032, maybe 2 million worth. Then within half a second, price jumps to 0.033, wiping out the 0.033 stop-loss shorts, and so on... So, fools and madmen, please don't join the short seller team. You're not strengthening us; you're just sabotaging us. $BTC在64,545美元附近窄幅震荡，$ETH却悄悄涨到1,905美元，$SOL跌回73美元，$DOGE则徘徊在0.07美元。这些数字背后，不是趋势启动，而是流动性在重新分配。市场并没有萎缩，只是奖励逻辑变了：以前随机入场就能吃肉，现在必须靠筛选纪律才能活下来。 短期价格脉冲最容易骗人。15分钟级别反弹或下跌，放在薄订单簿里只是算法划出的轨迹，散户却喜欢把它当成宏观转向的信号。真正值得关注的是机构端的动作。$BTC名义价格回到历史高位区域，但买入流量强度比过去任何一次同价位都要强，这构成了最关键的背离信号。与此同时$ETH的现货ETF渠道仍在净流入，机构账本上的增持也没减速。 $SOL跌到73美元不代表基本面恶化，它在第一层公链的相对收益曲线里斜率依然最陡，只是资金更挑剔了。$DOGE跌到0.07美元也不是末日，它本来就是散户热度的敏感指标，波动节奏比情绪调查更早。另一边，$SHIB单日跌了3.7%，还有一系列缺乏叙事支撑的标的持续失血。资金只愿意沉淀在少数满足叙事自洽、链上可验证、故事线能延伸两三个季度的资产上。 市场认知需要一次再校准。别把无序噪音式反弹当成结构性趋势重启，也别因The market never tricks you with just one drop; the real traps are often hidden behind rapid rebounds, making people mistakenly believe the trend has reversed. 📉 Several consecutive days of big bullish candles on the chart have many shouting "the altcoin season is here." But if you focus on the real capital flow, you see a completely different picture.
Liquidity remains highly concentrated in a very small asset pool; this is not a broad-based rally but a typical winner-takes-all pattern, with funds withdrawing from all other coins and concentrating into a few targets. 💰
The current real capital gathering direction: $BTC $ETH $SOL $BNB $HYPE $LINK $AAVE $KAITO. Why these? Solid transaction structure, clear institutional interest, and narratives with sustainability, not bubbles inflated by short-term sentiment.
My next rotation watchlist: $TAO $WLD $SUI $ONDO $ENA $SEI $HUMA $CORE. These projects are building healthy accumulation patterns. Once funds start rotating again, they are very likely the first to receive liquidity.
My interpretation framework for the market is as follows. $BTC remains the anchor; its strength determines overall risk appetite and market liquidity tone. $ETH is supported by institutional capital and steady growth in on-chain activity, underpinning fundamentals. $SOL is still the preferred high-beta trading L1 with the strongest resilience. $TAO and $WLD represent the AI sector, continuously attracting new capital. $LINK and $ONDO hold$SPCX Consistently rebounding short positions since July, steadily controlling the pace!!
Yesterday, Wu Ge warned everyone not to blindly chase long stocks. The upward momentum is seriously weak, and many people believe the downtrend is over. The impressive financial data gave many retail investors hope but failed to realize the risks were looming. Today, August 6th, marks an epic large-scale lock-up!
Yesterday, near 112, I gave a rebound short strategy, and the trend fully matched my prediction. After rebounding to 117 in the evening, it fell back to 107!Have you ever wondered why some token prices have stayed steadily around $0.05, while others with projects priced as high as $500 keep hitting new highs? 🤔 This is actually one of the most common misconceptions in the crypto world: a low price doesn't mean it's "cheap." A single price figure doesn't say much. What truly determines value is the circulating supply, tokenomics model, and the overall market valuation. 🧠
Before actually investing, mature investors often ask themselves several key questions:
✅ What proportion of tokens are currently in circulation?
✅ What is the approximate fully diluted valuation (FDV) of the project?
✅ When is the next token unlock scheduled?
✅ Who will these unlocked tokens flow to? Do they tend to hold long-term, or might they choose to sell?
A project may be technically strong, have authentic users, and steadily increasing adoption, but if a large number of new tokens keep entering the market, the dilution effect will put pressure on the price for a long time. 📉 This also explains why unlocking calendars often deserves more attention than market sentiment.
Projects that require special attention to unlock progress include: $ARB $OP $STRK $ZK $BLAST $MANTA $ALT $DYM $TIA $SUI $APT $SEI $PYTH $JUP $W $EIGEN
Several tracks I am currently continuously following:
🌐 DeFi and RWA: $ONDO $MKR $AAVE $UNI $PENDLE $ENA $SNX $CRV $COMP $LDO $RPL
🤖 AI and DePIN: $TAO $FET $NEAR $RNDR $AKT $AIOZ $GRT $THETA $FIL $AR
🐸 Meme sector: $PEPE $WIF $BONK $FLOKI $POPCAT $BOME $DOGE $SHIB $MOG $BRETT
So before buying any tokens, it's worth gently asking yourself once again:
📌 How much supply has already been released?
📌 What exactly is FDV?
📌 When will the next mass unlock be?
📌 Who will receive these tokens? What motivates them to hold or sell?
A robust tokenomics model does not guarantee success; But a fragile tokenomics model may bring aboutSandisk performance and guidance summary
The information is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice
1. Q4 of Fiscal Year 2026 (Disclosed, as of 2026-07-03)
Core finance
1. Total revenue: $8.965 billion, +372% year-on-year, +51% quarter-on-quarter, exceeding market expectations.
2. Non-GAAP gross margin: 84.6%, a historic high, benefiting from product price increases + business structure shifting to high gross margin AI data center business.
3. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS: $39.25, significantly above market consensus expectations.
Performance of the three major business segments
1. Data Center (Core Growth Engine): $2.977 billion, +103% quarter-on-quarter; NBM (New Long-Term Contract Supply Model) added 5 new agreements this quarter, totaling 10 long-term orders, with huge long-term order volumes locking in AI storage demand for years to come.
2. Edge Business (Mobile/PC/Automotive/Industrial): $5.432 billion, +48% quarter-on-quarter, still the largest revenue segment.
3. Consumer Business (USB drives, memory cards, consumer SSDs): $556 million, down 32% quarter-on-quarter; The company proactively prioritized wafer capacity supply to high-margin enterprises, reducing consumer-side shipments.
The full fiscal year 2026
Total revenue was $20.248 billion, up +175% year-over-year; Non-GAAP EPS was $70.88; Full-year data center revenue was +437% year-on-year.
Capital actions: an additional $14 billion share buyback quota, with a total repurchase authorization of $15.5 billion; The company has almost no long-term interest-bearing liabilities and ample cash.
2. Official Guidance for Q1 FY2027 (2026-07-04 to 2026-09-30)
• Revenue: $10.3–$10.8 billion (median $10.55 billion, upper limit below optimistic market expectations)
• Non-GAAP gross margin: 83.0%-85.0%, high but no longer upward, allowing for a slight decline
• Non-GAAP diluted EPS: $44.00-46.00
Quarter-on-quarter comparison: Q4 actual revenue was 8.965 billion, EPS $39.25; guidance still maintained high double-digit quarter-on-quarter growth, but market expectations were more aggressive, with the upper limit of guidance falling short of optimistic expectations, putting pressure on stock prices after the earnings report.
3. Core Logic and Risks
A bit positive
1. NBM long-term contract lock-up, smoothing storage cycle fluctuations; about half of FY2027 shipments have already been locked in early, greatly improving revenue visibility.
2. Capacity is tilted toward AI data centers, product structure is optimized, and extremely high gross margins are maintained.
3. Strong cash flow, large stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Risk points
1. Performance is highly tied to AI cloud vendors' capital expenditures; if AI demand weakens, data center business will be directly under pressure.
2. Consumer business contracts, mobile storage demand is mediocre, and growth relies almost entirely on AI-powered enterprise-level storage.
3. Gross margin is already at a historically high level, with limited room for further growth; Chip yield and capacity ramp-up will disrupt single-quarter profitability.
4. The stock price has risen significantly before, making it easy for positive gains to be realized.
4. Qualitative Outlook for Management
• AI-driven data center NAND demand remains strong;
• The mobile phone and PC markets are short-term but expected to stabilize gradually;
• Capacity constraints are currently the biggest bottleneck, prioritizing supply to NBM long-term contract clients, with ordinary consumers having lower priority. 💀 $74 SOL—On-chain transactions surpass 1 billion, ETF inflows for five consecutive days, who's lying?
SOL is currently at $73.90, up about 0.6% in 24 hours, consolidating sideways in the $72-$76 range for several consecutive days. After plunging more than 75% from its January high of $295, it has been stalemating near $74 for several weeks.
📊 Four sets of data reveal the truth:
1. Technical Aspects: All moving averages are the ceiling
SOL is currently under dual pressure from the 50-day EMA ($79) and 100-day EMA ($75), with the 200-day EMA at $91. Above 74.5-75 is a strong resistance zone, which surged quickly after a pullback, with the major bearish pattern unchanged.
2. ETFs: Five consecutive days of zero inflows, altcoin demand cools
The six US Solana ETFs had zero net inflows for five consecutive trading days as of August 4, following Bitwise's BSOL outflow of $18.1 million. During the same period, Bitcoin ETFs saw $211.5 million in daily inflows and Ethereum $53.1 million—institutional funds are concentrating on BTC and ETH, while counterfeit ETFs have been neglected.
3. On-chain: Breaking a record with over 1 billion transactions, prices falling instead of rising
As of the week ending August 2, Solana's non-voting transactions exceeded 1.01 billion, setting a new record. DeFi, stablecoin transfers, and consumer applications are flourishing across the board. The network is soaring, coin prices are playing dead—the divergence has reached its peak.
4. Biggest catalyst: Burn proposals or daily burn volume surge 14 times
Governance proposal SGP-0003 proposes to increase daily SOL burn from 650 to 7,500-9,000 (a 14-fold increase), and has received support from 73 validators. If 65.16 million SOL are supported by August 18, the vote will enter the official vote. The market has not yet fully priced in this expectation.
🧠 My judgment:
Short term: The $72-76 range fluctuates, with strong resistance above 74.5-75. If the lower 72 level is breached, it could directly target 70 or even 67.50. RSI is around 46, with no advantage for bulls or bears.
Mid-term: On-chain activity continues to hit new highs + burn proposal potentially approved + 330,000 Korean merchants are about to connect to Solana Pay—fundamentals are improving, prices are hitting new lows. But five consecutive zero ETF streaks indicate institutional interest is retreating.
At $74 SOL, the internet is boiling, the burning is imminent, and the ETF is retreating—three forces are pinning people in place.

#SOL #Solana #ETF #加密市场分析$SOL $BTC $XAU This year, domestic residents' deleveraging has entered a deep phase, with leverage ratios falling for three consecutive years. Everyone is desperately cutting debt and keeping cash—this is the right 'survival first.' The freed-up funds should be prioritized for cash flow safety cushions (12-24 months spent on goods or short-term bonds), and a small portion allocated to gold, a hard asset backed by thousands of years for wealth insurance; As for Bitcoin, it has its own macro hedging narrative, but high volatility + domestic compliance red lines determine it—it's definitely not the "ultimate insurance" for ordinary households' deleveraging cycles. At most, it's a satellite warehouse in a high-risk budget (losing all without affecting life), and it must go through overseas compliance entities, bearing the risks of resetting and channel channels. The premise of traveling light is "being able to sleep," not "carrying a fuse that can be inserted in the middle of the night."$BICO What’s the next move for the dog coin whales?
Short term: Most likely to fluctuate violently between 0.022 and 0.032. BICO’s token distribution is even more concentrated than LINK’s back in the day — the top ten addresses hold 68% of the circulating supply, which is both rocket fuel and a ticking time bomb. If the hourly close tomorrow falls below 0.0250, cut losses and exit immediately.
Mid term: The biggest variable is whether the cross-chain narrative can sustain. BICO has launched the ERC-8211 standard adapted for AI Agent batch trading; if this technology becomes the industry standard, it will continuously drive protocol usage and token demand growth. Fully circulating supply + small market cap + narrative appeal — it pumps hard and dumps even harder.
Altcoin capital rotation is happening, with funds flowing into selected altcoins like BICO, HFT, FIDA, etc. If Bitcoin remains stable, BICO may continue an independent trend. If the market is unstable, BICO will fall harder along with it.
A heartfelt final note:
BICO is at 0.02932 today, having risen from 0.0205 to 0.03185, a 50% increase in one day. Cross-chain narrative, negative fee rate short squeeze, fully circulating scarcity — bullish factors piled high. But exchanges have spreads dozens of times apart, the top ten addresses control 68%, and it’s a classic pump and dump — all three red flags are there. Some analysis puts it clearly: "Don’t treat it like a mainstream coin." At 0.02932, bulls fear a drop to 0.025, bears fear the dog coin whales will keep pumping. Control your hands, wait for 0.025 to confirm support or 0.03185 to confirm a breakout before acting. Remember, surviving long in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making a lot of money! Meeting adjourned!🚨 $1,900 worth of ETH—ETF bought 60.85 million, whales raised 71.1 million in two weeks, yet retail investors are cutting losses and exiting
---
ETH is currently quoted at $1,907, up about 2% in 24 hours. After briefly surging intraday to 1927, it fell back to fluctuate around 1900. The Fear and Greed Index is only 25, still in the extreme fear range. Year-to-date, it has dropped about 36%.
📊 Three sets of data tear the market apart:
1. ETFs: Continuous capital inflow, BlackRock dominates alone
On August 5, Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $60.85 million. BlackRock ETHA led with $50.34 million in a single day, with a total historical inflow of $11.53 billion. The ETF's total net asset value is $10.6 billion, accounting for 4.58% of ETH's total market capitalization. ETFs are buying, but prices just aren't rising—someone is dumping on the other side.
2. Whale buying frenzy vs. retail investors cutting losses
A whale received a total of 37,000 ETH (about $71.1 million) via Galaxy Digital OTC over the past two weeks, with the most recent transaction of 10,000 ETH ($19.1 million) arriving within three hours. Another whale withdrew 10,500 ETH (about $20.06 million) from OKX within one hour. Whale wallets holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH net increased holdings by 130,000 ETH over the past week.
However, wallets holding 100-1,000 ETH and 1,000-10,000 ETH saw a net outflow of 360,000 ETH in the past week, nearly three times the whales' increased holdings. The SOPR indicator hovered between 0.98 and 1.01, with most people exiting as soon as the cost price was reached.
3. Technical Side: Caught in the middle by EMA, MVRV golden cross flashed
ETH is sandwiched between the 50-day EMA ($1,851) and the 20-day EMA ($1,869). The 100-day EMA ($1,931) and trendline ($1,948) above form a double resistance. If it breaks above 1900, look for 1950-1980; if it falls below 1850, look for 1820.
Analysts point out that ETH has formed an MVRV momentum golden cross—in the past six years, the previous four signals have each triggered gains of 50%-166%. ETH has returned to the 0.8 MVRV support level, and historically, after holding out, it often moves toward its realized price (around $2,300).
---
🧠 My judgment:
ETFs are being absorbed, whales are buying—smart money is quietly laying the groundwork. However, retail investors are running, macro factors (expectations for a rate hike in September still remain), and trading volumes are shrinking. 1900 ETH, institutions and retail investors are trading SB—who will have the last laugh?

#ETH #以太坊 #ETF #巨鲸 #加密市场分析 $ETH Is it really the peak right after listing? Last night, the performance of $SPCX gave people a headache. The earnings clearly showed revenue exceeded expectations and AI business nearly tripled, yet the stock price crashed directly below the issue price, dropping 13 points in a single day. Now, Polymarket is betting on a 45% chance it will drop to 90%, and the market really isn't buying it. Thinking carefully, it makes sense—Q2 capital expenditure was $18.4 billion, and AI infrastructure alone cost $15.8 billion. Free cash flow is bottomless, and anyone would be worried about burning cash at this rate. The CFO even said they'll keep pushing hard for the next two quarters, so buying SPCX now is basically paying Musk for Starship construction.
What's worse is that today, 912 million shares were unlocked and crashed, with the circulating shares doubling or more. The key issue is that early employees and investors have an absurdly low holding cost—maybe just a few dollars per share. Even if the stock price drops to the 90 mark, can they really hold up? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to resist cashing out. Although Ma's 42% is still locked, no one else is obligated to accompany the company in the "stars and sea." The biggest suspense now is: will this selling pressure be gradually absorbed, or will it be crushed directly? Technically, AI cloud computing just signed a 6.7 billion yuan order, with a payback period of less than a year. The long-term logic is indeed strong, but with this short-term liquidity surge and huge losses, who dares to confidently say where the truth lies? Could it be that falling below issue price is the starting point? I actually think 90 might not be enough to stop it.Trading Notes | A Self-Balancing of Passive Positions
$BEAT this long order, my fingers kept resting on the close button, unable to make a move.
The position setup cost was 3.1334, with 10x leverage, occupying 16.24 U of margin. Currently, the market has dropped to 1.85, and the unrealized loss on paper has reached 151 U, making the loss number especially glaring. Fortunately, there is still a considerable distance to the liquidation position, and the overall position is very light, not yet at the point where painful losses are necessary.
This morning, the ETH transaction pocketed 142U in profit. Even if BEAT loses all 151U, at most it will just return the profits previously made, with no substantial damage to the principal. Since the funds can still hold up, it's better to allow the market a bit more time to react.
Looking back at the hour-long chart, the day's drop hit 31%, with no significant rebound seen throughout the session. The lessons from previous bottom-fishing and falling knife flashes are still fresh, but this time the situation is different. The position is lightweighted enough, the risk of liquidation is distant, and I have the means to wait for time.
This isn't blindly holding on; I'm betting on whether the market will see a technical rebound after a round of panic selling. My bottom line is to keep my margin depleted: if I lose to the limit, I accept the exit move, never add more funds throughout, nor do I frequently watch the market or be swept up by market sentiment.
Closing positions proactively is the iron rule of trading; Choosing to keep holding is a personal choice at the moment. This time, I chose the latter. Not out of spite or fighting the market, but simply because the position is controllable and I can afford to lose this portion of the profits.
On the market, $RIVER surged up by ten points in the short term, and the candlestick pattern looked pleasing. But looking at the data, the 24-hour turnover was only 8.67 million USD, indicating weak market liquidity and poor resistance to sell-offs.
$MMT rose 7 points simultaneously, with turnover depth even more superficial than the former. These two types are clearly short-term speculative funds, and once the hype fades, they can easily fall back quickly.
Having just suffered a big loss on $BEAT, it's natural to be eager to make new trades to recover losses. This stage is precisely when it's easiest to fall into new traps. So today, I only observe the market, not enter the market to speculate or invest a single cent.
$BEAT positions remain in the account, and no one can predict the future direction. There may be a recovery and rebound, but there is also the possibility of further declines.
Once you've decided to hold a position, you should accept the corresponding outcome. If your judgment is wrong, treat this experience as a lesson. ⚡ BTC breaks through 65,000! ETFs absorb 626 million in three days, but the fear index is only 26—who's lying?
---
BTC is currently quoted at $65,015, up 1.5% in 24 hours, successfully breaking through $65,000, a key resistance level with both psychological and technical attributes. It has rebounded strongly from the low of the $60,000-$63,000 range two weeks ago.
📊 Four sets of data reveal the truth:
1. ETF: 626 million in three days, August has already exceeded July's total monthly by 3.6 times
Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen net inflows for three consecutive trading days, totaling $626 million. Since August, total inflows have reached $626 million, a surge of over 260% compared to $172 million for the entire month of July. BlackRock IBIT alone took $479 million in three days, and $197 million in a single day yesterday. Institutions are buying frantically, with prices just above $65,000.
2. Macro: 9:3 split, 66% probability of rate hikes
The Fed kept rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive time between 3.50%-3.75%, but the vote was 9 to 3—three officials voted to raise rates. CME data shows the market prices a rate hike probability of about 66% in September. ETFs are buying, macro pressure is pressing—two forces are tugging at each other.
3. Liquidation: Short positions were blown up by 48 million, seven times that of long positions
In the past 24 hours, there were $257 million in net liquidations across the network, 166 million in short positions, and only 91.21 million in long positions. Bitcoin short liquidations totaled 48 million USD, seven times the number of long positions (6.78 million). Bears are being crushed one by one.
4. Sentiment: Fear index 26, a serious divergence from the price
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index is currently at 26, still in the "fear" zone. Prices are rising, ETFs are buying, bears are exploding—but market sentiment remains fearful. This is either a typical feature of an early reversal or a signal of an impending correction.
---
🧠 My judgment:
Technically, 65,000 has shifted from resistance to support; if it holds firmly, BTC is expected to challenge the $68,000-$70,000 range. Below 63,800 is a key intraday defensive level.
But hidden risks also exist: miners' hash rates have fallen for 250 consecutive days, setting a record high, and miners are turning to AI on a large scale; The probability of a Fed rate hike remains as high as 66%; The fear index of 26 shows retail investors simply don't believe in this rebound.
At 65,000 BTC, ETFs are buying frantically, shorts are blowing out positions, miners are retreating, and retail investors are afraid—four forces have pushed the price to a crossroads.

Data background: Previous value 19.7, expected 20.2.
Initial jobless claims reflect the immediate temperature of the U.S. job market—below expectations indicates strong employment, while above expectations indicates weakness. Between ADP (44,000) and nonfarm payrolls (released Friday), tonight's data is like an "appetizer," but the market will take the opportunity to play early.
📈 Bearish data for gold and silver (published value < 19.7) Condition: Initial claims lower than the previous value of 19.7, or even below 190,000. Logic: The job market is tighter than expected, economic resilience is strengthening, the urgency for Fed rate cuts is decreasing, the dollar strengthens, and gold is under pressure. Consequences: If the nonfarm payroll exceeds expectations again on Friday, rate cut expectations will cool sharply, and gold and silver may further pull back. 📉 Data is positive for gold and silver (published value > 20.2)
Condition: Initial recruitment numbers exceeded expectations by 20.2%, even approaching 210,000+.
Logic: The job market is clearly loosening, echoing the ADP's downward trend. The market is likely to bet early on Friday's weak nonfarm payrolls, rising rate cut expectations, weakening the dollar, and a rebound in gold.
Consequences: If the initial order deteriorates significantly (for example, 210,000+), gold will surge directly tonight; If the non-farm payroll also performs poorly on Friday, the positive news will continue to amplify.
⚠️ If the data is stuck in the middle (19.7~20.2)
The market lacks a clear direction and is mostly volatile; funds will wait for Friday's non-farm payrolls to act. In this situation, it's hard to make money from bulls or bears, so it's best to hold your hands tight.
In short: short gold and silver below 19.7, go long above 20.2, with no middle band moving. The key point is—tonight is just an appetizer; Friday's non-farm payrolls are the main feast 🍽️
#ADP就业降温, the Fed's policy divides have intensified $ZBT Two scenarios for initial jobless claims were anticipated in advance; data above 202,000 is positive. Cooling employment is suppressing rate hike expectations, putting pressure on the US dollar and US Treasuries, while gold continues to rise. The first resistance above is 4285; a breakout is at 4320. The market is overbought, so direct chasing at high levels is strictly prohibited.
If initial claims are less than 197,000, it is bearish. Strong employment data raises rate hike expectations, the US dollar rebounds, gold prices enter a pullback shakeout, and short-term volatility will significantly amplify.
Closely watch the 4220 top-bottom transition support, which is a key defense for the bulls this round. After a pullback stabilizes, it is still possible to position on low positions. If the price effectively breaks below 4200, the short-term bullish rhythm will be disrupted, so it is advisable to remain on the sidelines.
The ADP cliff weakening has already established a major bullish direction. The initial request is only a weekly high-frequency data that only causes short-term fluctuations, making it difficult to reverse the large-scale bullish pattern.
The 4-hour upward channel has opened, with indicators overbought at high levels. Data only brings short-term impulse stimulation, and the market ultimately returns to technical direction.
