In recent weeks, the market has been trading one thing—the escalation of the Middle East conflict. Oil prices have been rising, gold continues to strengthen, and risk aversion is rapidly intensifying, suppressing global risk assets. But just today, as expectations of a ceasefire heated, WTI crude oil plunged 8.68% in a single day, marking one of the rare single-day declines in recent years. Many people think this is a matter for the crude oil market, but I believe what truly deserves attention behind this is the repricing of global capital risk appetite. Why are oil prices falling so quickly? Because the market has never traded about the war itself, but whether the war continues to expand. Previous oil price increases were mostly due to risk premiums such as "possible impact on the Strait of Hormuz," "supply chain disruptions," and "increased transportation costs." Now that a ceasefire is expected, these risks are being quickly eliminated by the market. As risk premiums fall, oil prices naturally fall rapidly. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields have also started to stabilize, demand for US dollar safe-haven assets has cooled, and sentiment in US stock futures has clearly improved. These signals together actually indicate one thing: funds are flowing back into risk assets. For digital assets, this is often more important than the price of oil itself. In recent days, Bitcoin has maintained high-level fluctuations without any obvious panic selling. This shows that real big money hasn't left the market, but is waiting for a new catalyst. Now, as geopolitical risks ease, market attention has shifted back to several core events: first, this week's Federal Reserve interest rate decision. Second, the latest financial reports from major tech companies. Third, U.S. figures$BTC $XRP ..... As previously predicted, the market reacted to the "rumor" that the FED "might" raise interest rates this coming Thursday.
But ......
Look at the reality, the conflict in the Middle East is cooling down and it is "very likely" that a "best" agreement will be reached for all parties. Oil prices continue to fall, reflecting "accurately" what is "about to happen".
Will the FED "raise rates"??? NO.
Under the new chairman, the FED seems no longer to follow the old trend. Although economic indicators still influence FED decisions, they will no longer be the defining factors. The FED will "follow the future direction" more than the "current reality." Therefore, 95% of the FED still "holds interest rates" aiming for better outcomes rather than disrupting the market.
Clarity Act: Still a big question. WHEN and IF?
The prospect of a Senate vote in early August is very "promising." The "concessions" in terms between the two parties are making clear progress, aiming for a common benefit for the whole of America.
The "greatest improvements" will begin ... $AAVE

#NvidiaBacksOpenAI #NvidiaBacksOpenAI #StorjChapter11 A Tale of Two Extremes! On one side, a new stock frenzy; on the other, a major index plunge—marking a watershed moment for the storage sector
On the same day in the capital markets, two extreme trends collided, leaving observers deeply moved.
China's domestic storage leader Changxin debuted on the A-share market, igniting market sentiment on its first day of listing. The stock surged from the opening bell and closed with an astonishing gain, with its total market value topping the A-share market and daily trading volume setting a new record for new stocks. Countless funds poured into the domestic semiconductor main theme, all betting on the long-term story of domestic substitution in storage chips.
Everyone understands that Changxin's rise is not just a company going public; it signifies a genuine local challenger entering the DRAM market, which has been monopolized by overseas giants for many years.
But turning to the South Korean market, the picture is completely opposite. The KOSPI index plunged over 8% intraday, triggering a circuit breaker at one point.
South Korea's stock market heavily relies on semiconductors, with Samsung and SK Hynix shares under simultaneous pressure. The concern among investors is straightforward: as domestic production capacity continues to ramp up, competition in the global storage market will intensify, and Korean manufacturers, who have held their market share for years, will face strong challengers.
The market dynamics go beyond mere industry competition. Many South Korean retail investors habitually use leverage to speculate in the chip sector, so when the market turns, forced liquidations amplify panic. Coupled with the market reassessing the supply-demand outlook of the storage cycle, many funds choose to exit early to avoid risk.
A very realistic phenomenon has also emerged: even within the storage industry chain, there is a clear divergence in capital allocation. A-share funds are frantically embracing the leading new stock, while many smaller follow-up stocks face profit-taking; overseas funds, however, worry about intensifying competition and continue to sell off established semiconductor companies.
One IPO event has stirred the valuation logic of the global storage sector. The old pattern, where a few companies controlled market supply, is slowly changing. #韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股
What do you think? Can this trend of strong and weak divergence in domestic and overseas storage assets continue?#英伟达拟为OpenAI提供2500亿美元担保 If this news finally materializes, I believe the market will see far more than just a round of financing.
It means the AI industry has begun to shift from "technological competition" to "capital competition."
In recent years, everyone has been competing on models, parameters, and computing power.
But now it's becoming increasingly clear that the real competitive threshold has become:
Whoever can continuously obtain funds can keep purchasing computing power; Whoever can continuously purchase computing power has a better chance of training next-generation models.
From this perspective, Nvidia's willingness to provide massive guarantees to OpenAI is essentially not a simple financial partnership, but a deeper integration of the entire AI ecosystem.
NVIDIA needs OpenAI to continuously expand its computing power demand, and OpenAI needs NVIDIA to keep supplying the most advanced GPUs.
The two form a mutually reinforcing flywheel:
More funding → more GPUs → stronger models → more commercialization → more cash flow → more computing power.
Many people believe this is a major positive for Nvidia.
But as a trader, I won't jump to conclusions so quickly.
Because what the market trades is never about the event itself, but about the gap between the event and expectations.
If investors had long expected the two sides to continue deep cooperation, then even after the news was released, the stock price might not continue to rise.
Conversely, if the market starts to worry about overvaluations, rapid capital expenditure, or even a longer AI investment return cycle, then no matter how strong the positive development, it could see a "positive news realization" trend.
Therefore, when analyzing this type of news, I pay more attention to three questions:
* Did the market anticipate this in advance beforehand?
* After the news is released, will funds continue to flow in or be cashed out?
* Does the candlestick confirm this logic?
Over the years, trading has made me increasingly believe in one saying:
What really drives prices is not the news, but how the market interprets the news.
News provides stories, while funding determines price.
And price is the only language the market never lies.
So whenever I face any major news, I always observe how the funds vote before deciding whether to follow suit.
Respect price, not blind information; Respect the market, not stick to your own views.
This is also, in my opinion, the most important underlying logic for long-term trading.#停火预期兑现, WTI crude oil futures fell 8.68% in a single day. The market gave all traders another lesson today:
What truly determines the price is not the news itself, but whether expectations have been fulfilled.
WTI crude oil plunged 8.68% in a single day, and many people's first reaction was: "A ceasefire is bearish for crude oil." ”
But I think that's just the surface.
What truly drove today's sharp drop was not the ceasefire itself, but the market's start to reprice future supply and demand.
During the war, the largest premium on crude oil comes from geopolitical risks.
Once ceasefire expectations strengthen and concerns about supply disruptions ease, risk premiums will naturally be quickly squeezed out.
So the price drop isn't just oil, but risk expectations.
This also reminds me of a frequently overlooked issue in trading:
Is the news more important, or is the expectation more important?
My answer has always been the latter.
The market won't wait for news to materialize before acting; funds always position when expectations are formed and exit when expectations are fulfilled.
So many people notice a phenomenon:
When good news is announced, prices actually fall;
Negative news materialized, but the market started to rise.
It's not that the market is wrong, but that the funds have already completed the trade ahead of time.
That's why I spend less and less time predicting news and more observing prices.
If everyone knows something, it's very likely already reflected in the price.
What truly deserves attention are the expectations in the market that have yet to reach consensus.
Therefore, when I trade now, I prefer to ask myself three questions:
* Has this matter already been traded in advance by the market?
* Does the current price reflect the facts, or are they expected to look ahead?
* If everyone stands on the same side, who will continue to push prices?
By the end of the trade, I increasingly believed one saying:
Prices are not the result of news, but of expected changes.
Macroeconomics, wars, and policies all affect the market, but what truly determines profit or loss is often not what you know, but whether you understand which news the market has already priced in in price.
Respect expectations, respect capital, and finally respect candlestick charts.
This is, in my opinion, the most important trading principle for navigating any news market.#美国暂停预测市场州级禁令
This came quite suddenly.
Minnesota's previous law that classified operating prediction markets as a felony has been directly halted by a federal court. Judge Katherine Menendez issued a preliminary injunction, reasoning that the state law likely violates the federal Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).
Simply put—federal law takes precedence over state law, the CFTC has exclusive regulatory authority over prediction markets, and states cannot create their own separate systems.
This case is actually more than just a win or loss for one state. The CFTC has previously sued multiple states including Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts. Michigan even tried to directly demand Kalshi to cancel completed trades, which CFTC Chair Selig characterized as an "unprecedented move" that "could shatter public confidence."
The judge's ruling is quite critical—she stated that prediction market contracts structurally fall under the CFTC-regulated "swap" products category, and the plaintiff "is likely to succeed at trial," and that not issuing the injunction would cause "irreparable harm" to Kalshi and Polymarket.
Minnesota is a major agricultural state where farmers could hedge risks through weather and crop contracts, but the state law directly criminalized such transactions. This created a direct conflict between the CFTC's nationwide regulatory framework and the state-level ban.
The biggest suspense now is whether Kalshi and Polymarket can leverage this precedent to open up the entire U.S. The federal court has already confirmed CFTC's priority jurisdiction in one state, and theoretically, bans in other states can be challenged on the same grounds. The joint opinion letter from the CFTC, HPC, and Multicoin essentially pits federal regulation against state bans, with HPC explicitly advocating "rules over uncertainty," and that prediction markets should be uniformly regulated federally rather than legislated separately by each state.
The federal court's preliminary injunction has opened a new direction in this tug-of-war. As long as the precedent holds, the blockade by states will have to loosen. #韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股 The most noteworthy thing today is not the plunge in the South Korean stock market, nor Changxin Technology topping the A-share market, but the global storage industry's power dynamics being redistributed.
The South Korean KOSPI sharply dropped intraday, with heavyweight stocks like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics falling significantly. On one hand, this was influenced by the global semiconductor sector adjustment; on the other hand, the market began reassessing the impact of China's rising storage industry on the long-term competitiveness of South Korean leaders.
Meanwhile, Changxin Technology's stock price surged over 460% on its first day of listing, with a total market value surpassing ¥3 trillion and trading volume setting a new A-share record, instantly becoming the A-share market's largest company by market cap.
Many might interpret these two events as:
South Korea falls, China wins.
But I believe the market is truly trading not today's profits, but the industrial landscape of the coming years.
The scarcest resource in the AI era is not just GPUs, but also storage.
With model parameters growing larger and inference demands increasing, whether HBM or DRAM, they have become part of AI infrastructure. Capital's willingness to assign Changxin a higher valuation essentially bets on the future growth potential of China's storage industry, while the adjustment in the South Korean market reflects investors' growing concerns about whether traditional advantages will continue to shrink.
However, as a trader, I would not conclude the entire industry is entering a bull market just because one company surged after listing.
The biggest trap in the market is confusing long-term logic with short-term price movements.
Even the best companies can pull back due to overvaluation; even the biggest negative news might have already been priced in.
So my trading logic remains unchanged:
Look at the price first, then find the reason; trust the candlestick, not the story.
Macro trends, industry shifts, policy changes determine the long-term direction; what truly decides whether I trade is whether the capital has already voted with price.
In trading, I increasingly believe this:
The market does not reward those who know the news first, but rewards those who can quickly adjust their understanding when the world changes. Solana never closes. Its liquidity does.
We measured 90 days - 2.77B trades, $857B:
- Peak: Tue–Wed 13:00–17:00 UTC (6–10am PT), up to 132% of avg
- Thinnest: Saturdays and the 23:00 UTC hour (−13%)
- The pattern held through a 60% volume drawdown
Time your entries. Don't trade on vibes.In the same storage sector, completely opposite market trends have emerged on both sides
On July 28, South Korea's KOSPI index plunged 8% triggering a circuit breaker, with SK Hynix falling about 11% and Samsung Electronics dropping over 9%
Meanwhile, on the other side, Changxin Technology surged 471.59% on its first day of trading, with its market value briefly exceeding ¥3.3 trillion, topping the A-share market
This contrast does not mean the global storage landscape was rewritten in a single day; it more likely reflects capital recalculating competition and valuations

#韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股 🚨 Major signal: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse bluntly stated that the CLARITY Act is expected to completely remove the biggest policy barriers to institutional-level adoption of XRP. Once approved, a clearer regulatory framework will significantly boost institutional confidence and accelerate deeper market participation.
But clear regulation has always been a double-edged sword. On the positive side, it opens the door to compliance and attracts massive capital; On the flip side, the industry will face stricter oversight, higher compliance costs, and more intensive audit inspections. This is an unavoidable cost.
📊 The core question is no longer "whether institutions will enter," but rather: after institutions enter, how will XRP's liquidity, price stability, and long-term volatility model be reshaped? This is the underlying variable that will determine XRP's future trajectory.
👀 If the CLARITY Act proceeds smoothly, it is highly likely to become one of the most critical catalysts for XRP in the coming months. Market sentiment has begun to heat up, and fundamental narratives are being reshaped.

#CeasefireHitsCrude #AIEarningsWatch #CXMTDebutShockwave Macroeconomic Liquidity + Jensen Huang's Entry into AI: What's the Logic Behind It?
1. The Real Impact of the Macroeconomic Environment on ETH
The biggest recent market variable is the sudden intensification of the Federal Reserve's rate hike expectations. In just two weeks, the probability of a July rate hike surged from 13% to 36.3%, meaning the market suddenly started pricing in the risk of "liquidity tightening."
ETH is a typical high-volatility risk asset, very sensitive to US dollar interest rates and US Treasury yields. Rising rate expectations mean higher risk-free returns in the market, so funds are unwilling to stay in high-risk markets like crypto and stocks, causing overall incremental capital to shrink.
Although ETH's fundamentals are not bad, with nearly 28% of the total network staked and locked, and exchange reserves continuously decreasing, making tokens increasingly scarce, macro sentiment outweighs short-term fundamentals. Before the Fed's decision lands, funds dare not enter aggressively, so ETH can only passively follow the broader market's oscillation and pressure.
2. The Real Underlying Logic Behind Jensen Huang Joining Twitter
Many think Jensen Huang joined Twitter to ride the hype, but it's actually the opposite—this is a very precise business strategy.
NVIDIA is the absolute leader in global AI computing power. What it most wants to see is not just one AI company making money, but the entire AI industry flourishing.
Recently, he publicly supported open-source AI, with the core purpose of lowering the barriers to AI entrepreneurship. After open-source models become widespread, countless small and medium enterprises and developers will deploy locally and fine-tune models, all of which ultimately require GPU computing power support.
Simply put: the more popular open-source becomes, the more graphics cards NVIDIA sells.
His joining Twitter is to control the narrative, guide industry trends, influence regulatory attitudes, and secure the long-term basic demand for computing power.
3. Impact on the AI Sector and Crypto AI Track
This wave of positive news has indeed revitalized the entire AI sector, especially targets related to computing power, storage, and AI infrastructure, which have collectively rebounded.
The logic is straightforward: open-source AI explosion → surge in computing power demand → persistent tightness in HBM and storage demand.
Transmitted to the crypto market, narratives like AI Agents, automated settlements, and on-chain AI interactions are being picked up again by capital, which is a long-term positive for the ETH ecosystem and AI concept tokens.
4. Key Point: Why This AI Wave Is Only an Expectation-Driven Market, Not a Trend Market?
Many wonder why, despite such strong logic, the price doesn't rise strongly or sustain.
First, the macro liquidity environment does not support a major bull market.
The Fed's rate hike expectations are still uncertain, and the market is overall in a low-volume wait-and-see mode, with no continuous incremental funds. Without a steady inflow of money, even the best logic can only drive a short-term rebound, not a sustained main rise.
Second, it is all expectation speculation with no actual performance realization yet.
Jensen Huang's open-source AI logic is an industry trend for the next six months to a year, but currently, there is no actual revenue or performance fulfillment. Markets driven by imagination and expectations are purely expectation-driven. Once sentiment cools and news fades, funds immediately exit.
Third, the sector is extremely fragmented, not a broad resonance.
Targets with real computing power and storage businesses are resilient, while most AI coins riding the concept are purely one-day wonders.
Only localized clusters exist without an overall broad rise, which is a typical feature of expectation rotation.
In summary: The long-term AI logic is sound, but short-term it is suppressed by macro factors and can only experience expectation-driven rebounds. After the Fed's decision on Thursday, the market will truly choose the next trend direction. #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 #美国禁止开源AI的预期大幅回落 #Korean stocks plunge 8%, Changxin tops A-shares on debut
A new king rises in China, the old king collapses in South Korea. In 48 hours, the global pricing system for memory chips has been completely rewritten.
🇨🇳 On the China side: Changxin Technology, the new king of A-shares
On July 27, domestic DRAM leader Changxin Technology debuted on the STAR Market. Issue price was ¥8.66 per share, opening at ¥49.5, soaring 471.59%. The intraday high reached ¥55.03, closing at ¥49. Market cap reached ¥3.28 trillion, surpassing Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to become the top A-share.
The total turnover for the day was ¥141.187 billion, the first A-share stock in history to exceed ¥100 billion in single-day trading volume. Turnover rate exceeded 66%.
Another intriguing detail: before listing, the on-chain pre-market contract pricing was about 5.4 times the issue price. The closing price on the first day was 5.66 times the issue price. The on-chain pricing and reality almost perfectly matched, a precision worth noting.
🇰🇷 On the South Korea side: circuit breakers, price drops, double whammy
The day after Changxin’s listing, July 28, the Korean KOSPI index plunged over 8%, triggering a circuit breaker. This was the eighth full-market circuit breaker this year.
SK Hynix fell over 11%, Samsung Electronics dropped over 9%. The Nikkei 225 also fell over 4%.
Even worse, SK Hynix’s US ADR fell as much as 10% to $139.01 on July 27, closing at $143.02, below its IPO price of $149 on July 9. It broke below IPO price in less than three weeks.
One weekend, two markets, two different outcomes.
🤔 Why now?
First, Changxin is no longer a "follower" but a "price setter." With 8% global DRAM share, it has completed in 10 years what Micron took 30 years to do. The ¥3.28 trillion market cap implies expectations that it is moving from global fourth place into the top tier.
Second, the valuation premium of the two Korean giants now has a clear challenger. Samsung 36%, SK Hynix 29%, Micron 24%, Changxin 8%. Previously three players split the market; now four are competing. Every 1% share Changxin gains is taken from others.
Third, the AI narrative itself is loosening. Google and Tesla earnings have proven the market is starting to question "when will the money burn turn into profit?" Memory chips are the most sensitive link in the AI hardware chain. When the belief that "AI is never enough" begins to waver, the first to be hit are the stocks that rose the most early on.
💎 What does this mean for the crypto market?
Memory chips and the crypto market share the same macro backdrop—AI narrative, liquidity expectations, risk appetite. Changxin’s listing itself is positive, but the chain reaction it triggered is that global capital is reassessing the valuation of the entire AI hardware chain. KOSPI circuit breaker, SK Hynix breaking IPO price, semiconductor index down 2.2%—these signals combined indicate declining risk appetite. As institutions withdraw from overvalued semiconductors, crypto assets will find it hard to remain unaffected.
The memory chip playing field has been reshuffled. It used to be three players missing one; now four players are at the table. Whoever falters first will be the first out.
$EWY $SKHYNIX $SAMSUNG $ACH What is the next step for the dog farm?
Short-term (pre-FOMC): Prices are likely to fluctuate within the 0.0040-0.0050 range. The July 29 FOMC meeting is the biggest variable—if it leans hawkish, small-cap counterfeit ACH will fall harder than anyone else.
The last two FOMC scenarios:
· Scenario 1 (dovish / rate maintained): ACH may break through 0.0050, targeting 0.0055-0.0060.
· Scenario 2 (Hawkish / Rising Rate Hike Expectations): ACH is highly likely to fall below 0.0040, or even 0.0035-0.0037.
Mid-term: The biggest variable is whether compliance expansion can convert into real users and revenue. Alchemy Pay's fundamentals are indeed improving—Mastercard endorsement, 18 state licenses, 173 countries coverage—but ACH has dropped 97% from its peak. Whether this is a rebound or a reversal depends on whether the payment network can truly generate economies of scale. Some analysts have pointed out: "What will truly drive large-scale adoption in the crypto industry in the future is not just faster blockchains, but more convenient fiat currency deposits and withdrawals and improved global compliance capabilities." ”
The final heartfelt words:
ACH today is $0.0043, Mastercard, 18 state licenses, 173 countries—the fundamentals are indeed holding back a big move. But the price difference across different exchanges is several times higher, the price has dropped 97% from its peak, and the FOMC meeting is imminent—all three major mines are right there. For those chasing the highs now, think about whether you can withstand the sudden 20% drop from the dog farm. Stop the action, wait until the FOMC boots fall on July 29, and wait until the direction is clearer before taking action. Remember, staying long in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making a lot of money! Meeting adjourned!The Korean stock market hit another circuit breaker today! It's only been seven months since this year, and this is already the eighth circuit breaker...... Korean retail investors really have big hearts.
Many people think it's because the Korean economy is failing, but that's not the case. The essence of this crash is: global AI bubble sentiment + foreign ATMs + collective crushing by Korean retail investors' high leverage.
💡 Let's talk about a few plain truths:
1️⃣ The index is held hostage by the "Twin Stars": Chip giants Samsung and SK Hynix account for more than half of the market. Overnight, when US tech stocks fell, foreign investors immediately started dumping on these two stocks, dragging the market indices down in an instant.
2️⃣ Korean retail investors are bold in gambling: Young Koreans, in order to change social classes, are extremely fond of speculating on 2x/3x leveraged ETFs and chasing hot topics (AI, batteries). When prices rise, it's a perpetual motion machine; once a pullback triggers strong liquidation, it turns into a vicious cycle of "automatic sell-off."
3️⃣ Foreign ATM: Korean stocks have excellent liquidity; whenever there is a global disturbance (such as Fed rate cut expectations or geopolitical risks), foreign institutions are the first to sell Korean stocks to cash out and hedge risks.
📌 Summary and insights:
This year, the Korean stock market is far from a normal bull-bear market, but rather a "high-leverage + high-concentration" sentiment amplifier. When prices rise, it's exhilarating; when prices fall, liquidity is instantly shattered.
Beware of those inflated themes that rely on retail investor sentiment and leverage. When the tide recedes, only the core leaders with HBM chip orders can survive. Small concept stocks entering are buying stocks.Today's crash is equivalent to every South Korean losing 13%, not including leverage.
The South Korean KOSPI index fell 8% today and triggered a circuit breaker, officially breaking below the key support line of 6500 previously given by Goldman Sachs. SK Hynix dropped more than 12%. According to data from South Korean brokerage Naver, the current average holding price for retail investors in SK Hynix is 1,815,000 KRW, meaning every South Korean has lost 13% on Hynix.
On the surface, this crash is a chain reaction of capital stampede, but the core reason is that the global semiconductor pricing power is being reshaped.
First, domestic chips are accelerating their momentum. ChangXin Technology successfully went public and secured substantial financing, coupled with breakthroughs in domestic lithography machines, China will inevitably expand production and improve self-sufficiency. The memory duopoly can no longer monopolize the market, so expected profits are naturally discounted.
Second, the market is beginning to worry that big companies won’t recoup their investments. Previously, giants like Nvidia poured money into building data centers, which boosted the entire semiconductor sector. Now investors are concerned about how long it will take to recover these huge investments, so they choose to take profits at high levels.
In short, the big companies that used to make money through monopoly are now facing competitors and have spent too much on equipment. Going forward, it depends on the real performance of each major company, relying on their own capabilities.

@OKX中文 @OKX星球 1) Today's Market Overview Today's market did not fully strengthen but rather resembles a repricing after the weekend's risk appetite was released. BTC has now returned to around $63,300, down about 3% from the previous trading day; ETH is around $1625, and DOGE has also pulled back about 3.7%. With the FOMC meeting approaching, short-term funds have become noticeably more cautious, and in recent days, sentiment chasing highly elastic assets has begun to cool. However, the market has not fully shifted to safe-haven mode. In the previous U.S. stock trading day, Strategy rose about 7.6%, Coinbase gained about 5.9%, and Robinhood closed slightly higher. Coin prices pulled back, but crypto concept stocks remained relatively strong, indicating that the stock market is still trading ahead of expectations of industry revenue recovery, institutional capital returning, and regulatory environment improvement. 2) Popular token movements: The most intense community discussion these past two days has still been on the MEME sector, but today it has shifted from collective chasing to a clear divergence. SHIB had previously surged continuously, with trading volume once expanding from about $50 million to over $500 million; Currently, the price has pulled down about 13% in a single day, but still rose about 9% over seven days, and the 24-hour trading volume has also decreased by about 57% compared to the previous day. This indicates that the hype hasn't completely disappeared; it's just that the most intense chasing phase has passed, and funds are starting to cash out. MemeCore also failed to maintain its previous strength, falling about 3% in the past 24 hours, with a turnover of approximately $10.7 million, down about 11% from the previous day.

This volatility continues the intense fluctuations seen in the Korean stock market and the global memory/semiconductor sector since July.
Market performance overview today
SK Hynix**: Intraday plunge of over 10%, continuing the recent correction trend.
Samsung Electronics**: Simultaneously dropped more than 8%.
Other AI-related stocks such as Samsung SDI and LG Innotek also saw significant declines.
This trend is directly related to the weakness in the US semiconductor sector in the previous trading day, showing a high correlation between Asian tech stocks and US AI trade.
As a leading global supplier of high bandwidth memory (HBM), SK Hynix's stock price is highly sensitive to AI server demand expectations. This decline reflects market concerns about a slowdown in hyperscaler (large-scale cloud providers) spending or valuation adjustments.
Background since July: "Deleveraging" and valuation reappraisal driven by multiple factors
SK Hynix is not an isolated case but part of the ongoing adjustment in the Korean stock market and global memory sector since July:
Leveraged ETFs amplifying volatility**: Korean regulators previously approved several double-leveraged single-stock ETFs targeting Samsung and SK Hynix, attracting massive retail capital inflows. The leverage rebalancing mechanism caused severe price swings, triggering multiple KOSPI circuit breakers, with daily declines often reaching 8-15%.
Valuation correction and arbitrage pressure**: SK Hynix briefly surpassed Samsung as South Korea's largest market cap in June, but its stock price sharply retreated from the peak (significant cumulative monthly decline). After Nasdaq ADR listing, a premium existed between Seoul shares and US depositary receipts, increasing arbitrage selling pressure.
Mixed fundamental signals**: On one hand, AI memory demand is promising long-term (SK Hynix CEO warned of supply tightness in 2027); on the other hand, short-term profit forecast downgrades, capacity adjustment rumors, and global discussions about AI infrastructure oversupply (e.g., Meta-related news) triggered profit-taking.
Macro and geopolitical factors**: The "triple threat" of high oil prices, high interest rates, and a strong dollar, combined with Middle East tensions, also affected risk sentiment.
The KOSPI index in South Korea has fallen sharply cumulatively since July, triggering multiple circuit breakers, with SK Hynix and Samsung as heavyweight stocks being the main drags.
Market interpretation and outlook
This "flash crash" is more a result of leverage reduction, profit-taking, and sentiment transmission rather than a comprehensive deterioration of fundamentals. The storage industry remains in a high-cycle phase, and the tight HBM supply-demand pattern is unlikely to change in the mid-to-long term, but high valuations and leverage amplification cause severe short-term volatility.
Investor focus shifts to:
Upcoming SK Hynix earnings report (with prior expectation adjustments).
Global AI capital expenditure trends.
Further regulatory tightening on leveraged products (South Korea has raised margin requirements).
Summary: Today's SK Hynix flash crash is the latest chapter in the semiconductor sector adjustment in July, reflecting the AI theme's transition from extreme overcrowding to risk release. Short-term volatility may continue, but the long-term logic still depends on actual AI implementation and supply-demand dynamics. Market participants should be cautious of leverage risks and monitor fundamental signal validation.

7 月 30 日正式結果公布後，除了 AWS 與 AI 資本開支，我會特別看營運資金，因為這家公司的庫存、應收款、應付帳款和遞延收入規模都很大，付款時點可以令單季經營現金流和利潤出現不同方向。只看自由現金流的一個數字，很容易把季節性誤寫成結構性變化。
Q1 官方資產負債表顯示，庫存由 2025 年底 383.25 億美元降至 365.34 億美元；應收款及其他由 677.29 億美元升至 755.32 億美元；應付帳款由 1,219.09 億美元升至 1,247.49 億美元；遞延收入由 205.76 億美元小幅升至 208.87 億美元。這些是 3 月底的時點數字，不能直接推導 Q2 銷售強弱，但能提供財報後核對現金轉換的起點。
庫存下降可能來自履約效率、採購節奏、商品組合或季節性，不一定等於需求轉弱；應收款增加可能和 AWS、廣告或第三方服務的結算節奏有關，也不能在沒有附註時自行歸因。Q2 又包含公司上一季指引所假設的 Prime Day 時點，促銷、備貨、運輸和供應商付款都可能改變營運資金。正式結果要先讀現金流量表，再用管理層說明解釋差異。
零售效率還要回到分部。Q1 北美收入 1,041.43 億美元、營業利潤 82.67 億美元；國際收入 397.89 億美元、營業利潤 14.24 億美元。若 Q2 銷售增長但庫存和履約成本上升，分部利潤率能否維持比單看訂單更重要；若庫存效率改善、應付帳款延長，經營現金流可能受益，但也要確認不是暫時付款時點。
我的 Q2 核對順序是：三個分部收入與營業利潤、庫存與應收應付變化、經營現金流、物業設備支出，最後才是自由現金流。這能把本業盈利、營運資金和長期投資分開。Amazon 的 Q1 管理層前瞻仍只是前瞻，Q2 正式表格出現前不預設 Prime Day 貢獻、不引用傳聞，也不把 Anthropic 等投資公允價值變動混入零售與 AWS 的日常經營。
應付帳款也是 Amazon 商業模式的重要部分。供應商付款時間可以讓經營現金流暫時高於利潤，但這不是永久免費資金；下一季付款會反向影響現金。遞延收入則包含尚未確認的服務義務，不能全部視為已賺取收入。Q2 若營運資金貢獻很大，文章會列出變動來源，避免把一次性現金釋放寫成核心盈利能力永久提升，並用同比與連續數季資料排除單一季節因素。Guys, APE fell 3.62% today, now at $0.15154. A once leading NFT ecosystem with a market value of tens of billions is now repeatedly struggling around 0.15. APE's long-term pressure is understandable—down from its ATH of $28, with trapped interest piling up above. A coin that dropped 99% earlier faces selling pressure at every step of its rebound. However, the structural advantages unlocked by Zero Future are extremely rare among tokens of the same market capitalization. No team sell-offs, no lock-up at maturity, no hidden supply plans—plus, ApeChain is burning gas fees every day. ApeChain currently generates only about $145 in daily fee revenue, so the actual impact of burn volume is still small. But once this mechanism expands with ecosystem expansion, the tightening on the supply side becomes increasingly apparent. 0.144-0.145 is short-term support, while 0.18-0.20 is medium-term resistance. For assets with high volatility, full circulation, and deflationary mechanisms, monitoring ApeChain's user growth and burn data is more important than focusing on short-term candlesticks. Personal market view analysis and market information compilation are not investment advice. $ETH $BTC $APE #韩股重挫8%, Changxin tops A-shares on its first day; #英伟达拟为OpenAI提供2500亿美元担保 #停火预期兑现, WTI crude oil futures fell 8.68% in a single day OKX Hot No.1 Breakdown: Changxin Technology IPO, What Really Matters Is DRAM Cycle and Production Capacity I just checked OKX's Hot List, and 'Changxin Technology Goes Public, Global Storage Competition Adds Variables' ranks first. This topic does have a timeline, but the market gains, market value, and order numbers circulating on the planet are mixed with many second-hand rumors, so let's return to the Shanghai Stock Exchange listing announcement and prospectus first, without emotions replacing facts. According to the Shanghai Stock Exchange's announcement, Changxin Technology's stock code is 688825, and its stock will be listed and traded on the STAR Market starting July 27, 2026. The prospectus positions the company as an integrated enterprise specializing in DRAM R&D, design, and manufacturing, ranking first in production capacity in China and fourth globally; According to Omdia data, its DRAM sales will account for approximately 7.67% of the global market in Q4 2025. The same document also reminds us that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology together still account for over 90% of the global DRAM market. In other words, Changxin has entered the list of major players, but there is still a long way to go before it can reshape the global top three landscape, in terms of capacity, cost, and product validation. Financial changes happen quickly. The prospectus discloses that in 2025, revenue will be about 61.799 billion RMB, net profit attributable to shareholders about 1.875 billion RMB, and net operating cash flow of about 36.52 billion RMB; The compound annual revenue growth rate from 2023 to 2025 is 160.78%. But you can't directly extrapolate the high growth of the year.#韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股
In 48 hours, the global storage assets underwent a price reset.
Changxin surged 465% on its first day, with a single-day turnover of 140 billion, marking the first time in A-share history that a single stock exceeded 100 billion in daily trading. This shows how urgent the market's pricing of this event is. On-chain pre-market was 5.4 times, closing at 5.66 times; this is not retail speculation, but institutions seriously pricing this event.
Then the shockwave came.
US storage stocks fell first, SanDisk dropped 11%, Micron also came under pressure. The next day, Korean stocks amplified the drop, with KOSPI down 8% overall, SK Hynix down 11%, Samsung down over 9%, and Hynix ADR directly falling below its issue price to a new low since listing.
This transmission sequence deserves careful attention: US stocks moved first, Korean stocks amplified the next day, indicating the market reaction is not emotional but a real recalculation.
What does Hynix ADR falling below its issue price mean? It means institutional investors who bought at the IPO price are now all at a loss; this is not a short-term fluctuation but a shift in valuation anchors.
🤔 I think there is an important question here: Did Korean stocks fall too much or just right?
Samsung fell 9% and Hynix 11% in one day; purely from a competitive logic perspective, this is an overreaction. Changxin's scaled mass production still needs time, and high-end HBM cannot shake the position of the Korean giants in the short term. But market pricing is never about today; it’s about the competitive landscape in the next two to three years. From this perspective, valuation premium compression is inevitable; this time, several quarters of adjustment were compressed into two days.
Another detail overlooked by many: Apple used this tech stock rotation to switch positions, surpassing Nvidia in market value to reclaim first place. This is no coincidence; it’s capital making a defensive shift. The intensified storage competition uncertainty caused some funds to flow from computing power chains to more stable consumer electronics.
Next, two observation points:
Samsung and Hynix’s earnings reports this week—the guidance is more important than the results. If management mentions specific strategies to counter Chinese competition during the conference call, the market can judge whether they are prepared or just passively enduring pressure. Changxin’s next-day performance is the second variable; the extent of the pullback after the overheated first-day pricing will tell the market how much of this 3.28 trillion market cap is rational.
At this point, I won’t bottom-fish Korean storage stocks nor short them. I’ll wait for earnings and guidance, to see whether Samsung and Hynix choose to move upmarket or confront the mid-to-low end directly. This strategic choice is the core variable determining the trend over the next six months.
DYOR Not investment advice 🧠 The correlation between the US stock market and $BTC is not a simple follow-up in rise or fall; it is a three-layer logic nested together.
Folks, here’s a practical framework.
Many ask: When the US stock market falls, does $BTC follow? When the US stock market rises, does $BTC move? The answer is: it follows, but not simply. It’s a complex interaction of three forces intertwined.
Understand these three layers, and you’ll know exactly how to place orders the moment news breaks.
Also, a reminder: In practice, focus on micro-strategy ETFs (MSTR), which basically move in sync with BTC and serve as an excellent reference for judging BTC’s direction before the US market opens.
---
Layer 1: The time lag creates a prediction window ⏰
The US stock trading session coincides with BTC’s early morning to pre-market hours. The movement of the US market after close directly sets the emotional tone for BTC’s opening the next day.
📉 Iron rule: If the Nasdaq drops more than 1%, BTC is very likely to open lower during the Asian session.
This is not speculation but solid capital transmission. For example, on July 20, the Korean stock market made up a 4% drop because it was closed last Friday when US semiconductor stocks plunged, and the next day it caught up all at once.
My practical move:
After the US market closes, I draw a line. If the Nasdaq drops more than 1%, BTC will likely open lower in the Asian session; wait for the low open to stabilize before acting—don’t rush to buy. If tech stocks show a V-shaped rebound before the US market closes, then BTC’s high open the next day is almost certain; just place orders in advance and wait.
---
Layer 2: Capital transmission is not linear but traceable 💸
The linkage between the US stock market and BTC mainly flows through two channels:
Channel one: Macro pricing. US stocks fall → risk appetite declines → liquidity is drained from BTC. This is the most common linkage.
Channel two: Institutional allocation. Tech funds and crypto funds in the US stock market share the same pool. When the US market falls and margin calls come, institutions sell BTC first because it has the best liquidity and quickest cash-out.
⚠️ But here’s something interesting:
On July 17, storage stocks crashed collectively, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 4.3% in one day, yet BTC didn’t drop much. This indicates the linkage is loosening, and the crypto market is evolving from a shadow of tech stocks into an independent pricing entity.
In practice, watch this signal:
Does BTC fall less than tech stocks? If divergence appears, it’s often a short-term bottom signal. Tech stocks bleed while BTC stays flat, indicating hidden accumulation by capital.
---
Layer 3: Sentiment transmission is faster than capital transmission but more deceptive ⚡
Pre-market US data, earnings reports of leading stocks, Fed officials’ speeches—these events transmit instantly to BTC through the futures market before the US market opens.
On July 15, after CPI data release, Nasdaq futures surged sharply, and BTC almost simultaneously rose from 64,000 to 66,000. This is a typical case of sentiment transmission.
⚠️ But note: Sentiment comes fast and goes fast, often causing false breakouts. You might be happy for just five minutes after chasing, then get trapped the next second.
My practical response:
Watch US pre-market futures. When Nasdaq 100 futures move more than 0.5% up or down, BTC usually follows in the same direction. But don’t place orders before important economic data releases; wait for futures direction confirmation first.
🔥 Another important reverse signal:
If the US market rallies strongly but BTC’s gains lag significantly, it indicates a short-term divergence forming, a signal for contrarian action. Don’t chase US stock market rallies; BTC has its own mind.
---
📋 Summary: Three-layer practical framework
Layer Core Logic Practical Action
Time lag US market close → BTC next day open Nasdaq drops >1% → wait for low open to stabilize; V-shaped rebound → pre-place long orders
Capital transmission Macro pricing + institutional liquidation Watch if BTC resists tech stock drops; divergence = bottom signal
Sentiment transmission Futures market synchronous reaction Pre-market futures move >0.5% → BTC moves same direction; no orders before data release
Remember this:
The linkage between the US stock market and BTC is not about blindly following the US market but using it as a mirror to reflect BTC’s strength or weakness. Following the fall but not the rise means weakness; following the rise but not the fall means strength. It’s that simple.
#沉睡比特币案迎行业机构介入 In July 2026, Washington is filled with two flavors: one is the anxiety ahead of Congress's August recess, and the other is the crypto world's near-hungry anticipation for certainty. On the Senate's legislative calendar, H.R. 3633—the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (CLARITY Act)—has been sitting for over a month. It was highly anticipated, with some even fantasizing about the ceremony of being signed by the president around July 4th, Independence Day. But in reality, it has been sidelined time and again by other bills. The clock is moving, but the window is narrowing. This matter begins with an earlier chaos. A chaotic decade gave rise to the demand for "clarity." Over the past decade, the U.S. crypto market has lived in a gray area. The SEC has repeatedly defined boundaries through enforcement actions, while the CFTC is vying for a say in commodity attributes. Is Bitcoin a commodity? Is Ethereum a security? Is the project issuing tokens considered financing or a tool? No one can give a single answer. The result is: high compliance costs, innovation outflow, investors repeatedly hurt by uncertainty, while institutional funds remain on the sidelines for the long term. In spring 2025, things will begin to loosen. On May 29, House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (Republican, Arkansas) officially introduced the CLARITY Act. The core logic is clear: digital assets are divided into several categories: digital merchants现在基本上就是直接明牌，微策略现在最大的任务就是STRC的回锚问题，上星期自己买了2500万美金的 $STRC 优先股。这也算是在提振市场对微策略的信心，毕竟他的5%金融炼金术的基础是以比特币为背书的信用融资能力。
很多朋友说没有微策略买比特币，比特币怎么办，比特币需要微策略。这里我们要搞清楚一点，不是比特币需要微策略，而是微策略需要比特币，而且从头到尾都是如此。SPCX halved its faith and teared it apart, reorganizing the long-term entry window
$SPCX Cut in half from its high, completely shaking my confidence in holding positions
Currently, the overall market sentiment is full of pessimism, ordinary retail investors are fleeing in panic over the issue price drop, and some funds have calmly assessed the potential safety margin.
▶️ Two major real-world pressures suppressing the market
After reviewing, the sharp drop in SPCX was entirely predictable; in the short term, only two core negative factors were firmly suppressing the stock price.
1. Temporary imbalance in fundamentals: Currently, the only stable profit output for the company is Starlink's business. Starship's iterative R&D and xAI ongoing deployment are both burning large amounts of cash, and revenue growth has clearly slowed. The current performance cannot support the previous high valuation and will need time to digest the bubble.
2. Selling pressure about to be released after lock-up unlocking: This is currently the most fatal short-term negative factor. After the Q2 report for August is released, a large batch of restricted shares will be unlocked. Early entrants have extremely low holding costs and are likely to concentrate on taking profits and exiting, causing a significant increase in market liquidity. In the short term, supply is over, making it difficult for stock prices to stabilize quickly.
Market sentiment has now become extreme, with reasonable valuations from institutions generally in the $60-80 range. At this level, the market is essentially wiping Starship's long-term potential and xAI value to zero, relying solely on Starlink cash flow for pricing, which is an excessive drop in expectations.
▶️ The market has severely undervalued the three-layer core foundation
Setting aside short-term fluctuations and book losses, I remain optimistic about SPCX's long-term logic, which has three core fundamentals:
1. Starlink has firmly established itself as the satellite communications oligopoly, with tens of millions of users as a base. Its direct mobile connection business continues to advance, directly facing the trillion-yuan mobile communications market, serving as a stable cash flow foundation.
2. xAI is now generally seen as a negative asset dragging down profits, but its stock price continues to decline, effectively buying this call option at a low price. In the future, Grok will link Starlink's data and computing power to deploy space AI computing nodes, which will be the most imaginative growth point.
3. Once Starship's technology route is successfully established, the cost of entering space will be greatly reduced, opening up a brand-new incremental track.
▶️ My long-term practical rhythm planning
The next 3-6 months are an excellent period of observing the bottom; just wait patiently for signals. On one hand, looking at the August financial report, focus on verifying Starlink's profitability stability and the company's overall cash burn speed to verify fundamental turning points; On the other hand, patiently wait for the unlocking chips to fully switch hands and completely absorb short-term selling pressure.
My personal layout plan: when the stock price falls back to around $80, start small-position, gradually allocating in batches. If market sentiment becomes extremely panicked and the price drops below $60, it will be an excellent opportunity to increase positions.
Sure enough, it's not too late to start research after getting stuck. If you're willing to hold long-term, I'm optimistic about the long-term track of space infrastructure + space computing power.
All along, high-quality tenfold long-term opportunities have quietly formed a bottom when the market is collectively pessimistic and faith collapses (come save me).🔥 Don’t just watch the noise — understand the real game.
Tonight, U.S. memory stocks got hit hard.
SanDisk, a sector leader, flipped from +3.6% pre-market gains to more than 8% down intraday. Micron, Western Digital, and SK Hynix all followed the sell-off.
The trigger was ironic:
China’s memory chip maker CXMT surged 466% on its Shanghai listing debut.
The market instantly shifted its focus:
“New supply is coming — could the memory shortage narrative break?”
Fear took over.
But the deeper reason behind the sharp drop is more important:
SanDisk had already gained around 500% this year. When a high-growth narrative gets even a small crack, profit-taking can accelerate quickly.
This pattern looks familiar.
It’s the same logic seen in high-beta crypto sectors:
Strong narrative + heavy capital inflows = explosive upside.
But when supply concerns, sentiment changes, and investors lock in profits at the same time, the correction can be brutal.
A 5x rally is not always a safety cushion.
Sometimes, it means there are more holders sitting on large unrealized gains — and many are waiting for the exit.
The market rewards the right narrative, but it punishes crowded trades.
#Stocks #Semiconductors #AI #MemoryChips #MarketSanDisk $SNDK—many traders have probably heard its story. After Western Digital spun off and seized the AI storage boom, its stock price soared dozens of times in just one year, with impressive earnings reports and institutions raising target prices, making it a hot star in the market. Yet, even with such fundamentally solid stocks, some people still go long with 5x leverage, buying more and more as the price drops, ultimately losing -110%, with a book loss close to 1.48 million USDT. Looking at the candlestick marks, it's very clear: the market turns downward, traders add to their positions twice in a row, trying to dilute their costs, briefly reduce positions in between, and then the stock price continues to dip, leaving them deeply trapped. Let me clarify one thing: SanDisk's sharp drop does not mean the company's fundamentals have collapsed outright. The long-term logic of AI storage remains, and the financial reports remain strong. However, the stock price had surged dramatically before, and valuations were already maxed out. If the market faced negative factors—such as upstream capacity expansion, concerns about AI capital spending slowing, and a large number of profit-takers fleeing in concentration—high-valuation stocks would face a sharp correction. A positive fundamental outlook does not mean prices won't drop sharply; this is the biggest pitfall many traders tend to fall into. This trader named Feng Shengshui Qi probably has this logic: the company's logic is so good, a drop is an opportunity, the more it drops, the more worth buying, continuously increasing positions to push down the average price, waiting for a rebound to break even and make money. The idea sounds right, but he confuses two things: being optimistic about fundamentals and using leverage to buy the dip against the trend are completely different things. Storage semiconductors are inherently a highly cyclical industry; even if the long-term logic is sound, the mid-term growth rate could be 30% to 4%.📉 The fundamentals have changed — and the market is repricing.
The previous narrative was:
🔥 AI growth will explode
🔥 Storage demand will stay in shortage forever
🔥 Memory prices will keep rising
🔥 Storage companies are entering a super cycle
But over the weekend, Samsung and SK Hynix both signaled expansion plans, while CXMT also entered the public market.
Although CXMT cannot compete in high-end HBM yet, future progress is only a matter of time. Its DRAM expansion could also pressure the lower and mid-end markets of the major memory players.
The market’s expectation has shifted from:
“Storage will always be scarce” ➡️ “Supply may catch up.”
That changes the entire investment story.
📌 Markets trade expectations, not just reality.
Buy the expectation.
Sell the fact.
The story is often most valuable before it becomes fully realized.
AI and memory demand may still have long-term potential, but the short-term narrative is now being reassessed.
#AI #Semiconductors #Memory #Stocks #Technology#Ethereum Approaches $2000, Sudden Drop at Dawn, $400 Million Vanished. Bulls have already surrendered short-term control during that bearish candle at dawn today.
📉 Latest Market
• BTC: $63,300 / 24h -2.37% | Range $63,605–$65,744 | 24h Volume $9.62B
• ETH: $1,880 / 24h -3.14% | Range $1,882–$1,981 | Volume $6.66B
• SOL: $74.19 / 24h -3.12% | Range $73.74–$77.50
• : $565.7 / 24h -1.65% (All four major coins weakening together)
⏱️ Key Rhythm: From the hourly candlestick, BTC oscillated narrowly between $64,800–$65,500 for nearly 18 hours, then at 00:00 UTC (08:00 Beijing time), a bearish hourly candle smashed through $64,000, hitting a low of $63,605, with an hourly drop of about 1.7% and volume expanding to $72M+ — a typical "last washout before the Asian session open."
🌐 Today's Core Drivers
1. Pre-Fed window risk aversion. Citadel Securities publicly stated this week: Fed new chair Warsh will choose to raise rates this week. Coupled with Reuters warning "Fed patience will erode credit" — the market begins pricing in no rate cuts.
2. ETF funds net outflows for two consecutive days. BTC spot ETFs have seen cumulative outflows exceeding $465M+, institutional buying has cooled off short-term.
3. This week is a super central bank week: Fed, BoE, BoJ rate decisions announced intensively within 48 hours, plus US Q2 GDP — any surprises will amplify volatility.
I expect this round of decline is not a "bull market pullback" but a proactive position reduction ahead of macro risk windows. After BTC broke below $64,000, short-term support is seen at the $63,000 round number and the previous $61,800 platform; ETH below $1,900 looks toward $1,850. The real directional choice likely awaits the FOMC outcome —
If hawkish with no action or rate hike: $60K is the ultimate test, altcoins will bottom before BTC.
If dovish with rate cuts or easing hints: a quick recovery to $65,500 is possible within this week.
My strategy: No left-side bottom fishing; wait for the FOMC shoe to drop, then observe if ETF funds flow back before deciding whether to catch the falling knife.

#BTC #ETH #SOL #FedRateDecisionMany people think that US stocks and Bitcoin (BTC) have a simple "synchronized ups and downs" relationship, but that's not the case—they are a system driven by three layers of nested logic. In practice, I focus on the Micro Strategy ETF (MSTR), which is basically the "barometer" of BTC's trend.
------
🔹 Level 1: Time Offset = Prediction Window
The US stock trading session (from 9 PM to 4 AM Beijing time) precisely covers BTC's "early morning session into early session." The post-market performance of the U.S. stock market directly determines the sentiment tone for BTC the next day's opening.
For example:
• The Nasdaq fell 1.5%, the semiconductor index dropped 4% → The next day, Korean stocks + BTC are likely to be under simultaneous pressure.
• This is not mysticism, but solid evidence of capital flow. The 4% drop in Korean stocks on July 20 was because the market was closed during last Friday's sharp drop in US semiconductor stocks, and the next day there was a "one-time liquidation."
✅ Practical Mnemonic:
• After the US market closes, draw a line: Nasdaq falls over 1% → BTC is likely to open lower during the Asian session→ wait for stabilization before taking action.
• If tech stocks make a V-shaped reversal before the US market closes→ BTC will open higher the next day and be basically stable→ just place your order early.
------
🔹 Layer Two: Capital Flow ≠ Straight, but Traceable
The linkage between US stocks and BTC mainly relies on two "channels":
🔹 Pipeline One: Macro pricing
U.S. stocks fell →, risk appetite declined→ capital was withdrawn from BTC (liquidity was drained).
🔹 Pipeline 2: Mechanical configuration
In US stocks, tech funds and crypto funds are often in the same "capital pool." US stocks have fallen→ Need to reinforce margin → Sell BTC first to cash out.
⚠️ But note a key signal:
On July 17, storage stocks collectively crashed, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping 4.3% in a single day, but BTC barely followed the decline.
What does this indicate? The linkage is loosening — the crypto market is shifting from being a "shadow of tech stocks" to an independent pricing entity.
✅ Practical Observation Points:
If BTC falls less than tech stocks→ shows a "divergence" → is often a short-term bottom signal!
------
🔹 Third layer: Emotions are transmitted quickly, but they're the easiest to be deceived
US pre-market data, leading stock earnings reports, Fed speeches...... These events are "leaked early" to BTC through the futures market before the U.S. stock market opens.
📌 Case study: After the CPI data was released on July 15, Nasdaq futures surged sharply→ BTC synchronized from 64,000 to 66,000, almost "instantly."
But emotional transmission has a fatal weakness: it comes quickly and goes just as fast, making it easy to fake breakthroughs.
For example: positive data → market frenzy → you chase the highs → pullback the next day → trapped.
✅ Practical Response Strategies:
• Focus on US pre-market futures (especially the Nasdaq-100 index): up or down by more than 0.5%, → BTC usually fluctuates in the same direction.
• Don't place orders early before or after important economic data releases! Wait until the US stock futures direction is confirmed before making a move.
• If US stocks rally but BTC does not follow → beware of "bullish traps."

$ETH $BTC $SOL Alpha projects now have absolutely no patterns. Some of the patterns I guessed before—betting on alpha projects signing contracts, most TGE projects can get contracts. There's no ad for those without ads, and now it's completely unapplicable. Whatever it is, it's just pouring out the ads. The one that was added yesterday doesn't even have to install anymore, and when I checked ads, there were very few ads. Plus, I haven't released anything new for a long time. Getting this thing fits what I said before—alpha has no effect anymore. It's not just alpha. I originally guessed that since spot trading hasn't been available for so long, the top one has to put on a show. I just checked the trend, and it started to drop. In the past couple of days, it started to pull back, and the volume is quite large. Retail investors are almost nonexistent, probably MM is doing something. But in this market, if you don't stir things up a few days before the coin listing, and later your attention will be completely lost. If you keep causing trouble, the time and economic costs will be even higher.
As project managers, you should understand that zero-cost arbitrage is great, but you can broaden your horizons a bit. You can't make much money at the open, so just hold on a bit and don't even say you'll spend money to pump the market. In this situation where projects are struggling, a lot of capital needs something to play with. Don't be so embarrassing and still make more money than you do now

📰 On July 27, Changxin Technology debuted on the A-share market, closing up 465.82% on the first day, with a total market value reaching ¥3.28 trillion, topping the A-shares. The single-day turnover exceeded ¥140 billion — the first stock in A-share history to break ¥100 billion in daily trading volume. In contrast, today the KOSPI dropped 8%, SK Hynix fell 11%, Samsung Electronics dropped over 9%, and Hynix ADR fell below its issue price, hitting a new low since listing.
🔍 Science popularization: Who is Changxin Technology? Why is it so important❓
❶ What kind of company is Changxin❓
Changxin Technology (CXMT), founded in 2016 in Hefei, Anhui, is currently the only DRAM chip manufacturer in China with mass production capability. DRAM is the memory chip in computers and phones, previously monopolized globally by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, with a combined market share exceeding 95%. 👐 Changxin is the first Chinese player to truly break into this landscape. 🤺💨
❷ What can it produce now❓
Changxin has mass-produced mainstream memory products such as DDR4, LPDDR4/5. Technologically, it still lags Samsung by about 1-2 generations but has moved from "can it be made" to "can mass-produce and ship." 🌸 The funds raised from this IPO will largely be used to further expand production and advance process technology R&D.
❸ Why did its listing cause the Korean stock market to drop 8%❓
The storage industry is a highly oligopolistic cyclical sector, with pricing power determined by the supply side.
Samsung and Hynix enjoy high valuation premiums because they control global DRAM supply and can influence price cycles by managing capacity.
🤜 Changxin's entry introduces a clear competitive variable to the "Korean giants narrative" — if China's DRAM capacity continues to ramp up, Samsung and Hynix's control over supply rhythm will be diluted, naturally loosening their valuation premiums.
This is not the market worrying that Changxin can "beat them now," but rather repricing the uncertainty of the "future competitive landscape." 🤔
🎯 Two points to watch next
Samsung and Hynix will release earnings reports this week 📰👀, and management's comments on competition with Changxin will be scrutinized word by word; Changxin's performance the following day will determine whether this repricing is a short-term emotional release or the start of a trend change.
💬 Changxin's listing — do you think this is a turning point for China's storage breakthrough or just an emotional peak in the A-share market?

At 2 AM Thursday, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision.
Will they cut rates?
The market has basically priced in:
Most likely no change.
What really moves the market isn’t the interest rate number.
It’s how a few words in the statement are changed.
Three key areas:
1. What is said about inflation
If it remains: Inflation remains elevated → Market interprets this as hawkish, rate cut expectations remain on hold.
If changed to: Inflation is making further progress → Dovish, the market will start pricing in a September rate cut early.
2. What is said about employment
If it continues: Labor market remains strong → Neutral.
If changed to: Labor market is moving toward balance → Market will see this as the Fed starting to focus on employment risks.
3. Dual mandate risks
The most critical question now: What is the Fed more worried about? Inflation? Or employment?
If inflation risk is emphasized: → Hawkish.
If employment pressure is emphasized: → Dovish.
My personal view:
The statement may show a slight dovish tilt.
But Powell’s speech likely won’t directly confirm a September rate cut.
More likely: wording leaves room, verbal tone remains cautious.
How about $BTC?
If dovish: Dollar and US Treasury yields ease. Risk assets may rebound.
BTC focus: 66-67K range.
If neutral: Market continues to wait for data.
BTC likely: consolidating and digesting.
If unexpectedly hawkish: Risk assets will come under pressure first.
BTC key support: around 63K.
Don’t take sides prematurely.
Wait for the 2 AM statement to see the first wave of money voting.
Then at 2:30 AM Powell’s speech, see if the market changes direction.
The biggest fear of the Fed meeting isn’t the result.
It’s:
The market betting the wrong way in advance. #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 Tonight's OKX Masterclass is best watched not for "who beat earnings expectations" but for who can still make the market believe that the AI bill is worth paying. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple are all entering the earnings window, and the real test is clear: with such huge AI investments, has it started to translate into revenue, profit, and user stickiness? Google and Tesla have already shown the market that just telling an AI story is not enough; investors now chase questions about capital expenditure, cloud revenue, advertising efficiency, and model costs. I think this round of tech earnings is like a trust audit—not about who has the prettiest PPT, but who dares to spend big and still maintain cash flow. The market used to reward imagination; now it rewards execution. The AI narrative isn't over yet, but it has passed the stage where "just talking about it means someone will buy." #财报观察员：OKX大师课今晚开播，带你看懂四大科技巨头财报 #韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股
Today's market is so surreal! Changxin topped the A-share market on its first day, with a market cap of 3.28 trillion; meanwhile, the neighboring South Korean stock market crashed, plunging 8% and triggering a circuit breaker. Behind this stark contrast, the crypto world had already "spoiled the plot" in advance!
Before Changxin even rang the opening bell, the crypto community was already speculating on its perpetual contract "cxmt" on hyperliquid, with the price once pushed to a market cap equivalent of 4 trillion, 7 times higher than the A-share valuation! Why such madness? Because Changxin is the only domestic company capable of mass-producing high-end memory, and the crypto crowd is betting on its "domestic substitution" potential to break Samsung and SK Hynix's monopoly.
But this crazy hype in crypto actually became the fuse for the South Korean stock market crash. A 4 trillion valuation essentially signals to global capital: China's storage giant has arrived, and the oligopoly's pricing power is about to vanish! The South Korean stock market heavily relies on Samsung and SK Hynix, and retail investors leveraged up to trade semiconductors. Once the narrative changed, a stampede sell-off directly crashed the market.
The South Korean stock market is highly dependent on the semiconductor industry, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix alone accounting for half of the KOSPI index's market cap. This structure makes the market extremely vulnerable to risk; once the memory chip sector faces sell-offs, the entire market experiences severe volatility. Moreover, South Korea has high leverage, making stampede effects easy to occur. In such a market, retail investors should avoid trading and wait to observe until the market stabilizes The most suspenseful part about this Fed meeting isn't that the market doesn't know the outcome, but that everyone fears it will speak too hawkishly. From Wednesday US time to early Thursday Beijing time, the rate decision will directly set the emotional tone for risk assets for the week. BTC and ETH are not just watching whether there will be a rate hike this time, but whether the Fed is willing to acknowledge the drop in oil prices and easing inflation pressures, or if it will continue to emphasize "higher rates for longer." I think the biggest mistake the crypto market makes is focusing only on the outcome and ignoring the tone. If the statement continues to stress inflation risks, the market will interpret it as liquidity not yet easing; if it starts to leave room for the future, risk assets will have space to breathe again. The hardest part of trading isn't bad news itself, but when you don't see bad news clearly, yet the market breaks out in a cold sweat. #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 Korean stocks plunged; on the surface, it looks like Changxin topping the A-share market hit the storage stocks a bit
But I think a deeper layer is that the market suddenly realized that "AI storage scarcity" no longer belongs only to Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron
Changxin surged violently on its first day, with its valuation directly rushing to the top of the A-share market, so the sentiment is naturally exaggerated. Technically, it may not immediately catch up with Korean manufacturers, and HBM is not a business that can be absorbed overnight. But the capital market has already given it a signal: China's storage industry chain is shifting from a substitute supplier to a global pricing variable
This is very painful for Korean stocks
Previously, the storage cycle was price increase, capacity expansion, order cuts, then price increase again. Now there is a new problem: if customers are willing to diversify procurement for supply security, can the original leader's premium still be that high?
What chip stocks fear most is not that competitors are stronger than you today
But that customers start to believe "I don't have to choose only you"
#韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股 Onchain markets called it before the opening bell even rang.
On July 27, ChangXin Memory (CXMT) closed its Shanghai STAR Market debut up 465.82%, reaching a 3.28 trillion yuan valuation and becoming the largest company on the A-share market. Weeks before the shares ever changed hands, an onchain pre-IPO contract was already trading it, opening at a $5 reference price and running to a peak of $8.64. For most overseas investors locked out of the deal, onchain was the only way to price the story early.
A few figures to sit with:
· Closed +465.82%, with an intraday high near +535%
· Over 140 billion yuan in turnover, the first A-share ever to top 100 billion in a single day
· At $8.6 billion raised, the biggest Chinese semiconductor IPO on record and the largest one-day pop among the world's 10 biggest IPOs this year
This wasn't just a hot listing. It sits on top of an AI-driven memory supercycle. Surging AI demand is squeezing global DRAM supply, which is why a single Shanghai debut could send shockwaves straight through US and Korean memory names: SanDisk fell 11% and Micron slid the same day, and the following day Korea's KOSPI widened losses to 8% with SK Hynix down 11% and Samsung off over 9%.
The real takeaway for us: people love to call prediction and onchain pre-market venues "just gambling." Yet here they put a live, tradable price on a record-breaking IPO weeks before a single share changed hands.
Would you trust an onchain pre-market price over a traditional analyst's estimate? And have you ever actually traded a pre-market or prediction contract?
#CXMTDebutShockwave Finally understand why there was a crash.
Simply put, yesterday (Monday) US chip stocks suddenly collapsed, but beneath the seemingly calm market, there was actually a bigger bomb — money is too expensive, and everyone is starting to get scared.
I'll break it down into five plain sentences for you to understand at a glance:
1. What just happened? (Why did chip stocks fall?)
It's not that chip companies performed poorly, but the Fed might raise interest rates on Wednesday (35% probability), plus Microsoft, Meta, and Apple are releasing earnings reports these days. Big money is afraid of surprises, so they choose to "run first" or "stay put," and no one dares to buy.
2. Why did no one buy into the "$250 billion big news"?
The media revealed that Nvidia plans to spend $250 billion to help OpenAI build data centers. Logically, this should be good news, but traders feel this is like the "peak of the AI bubble" — like when stock speculation goes so far that even the shovel sellers (Nvidia) have to borrow money to mine, indicating this round of crazy spending might be over.
3. What is the real killer move? (What exactly is everyone afraid of?)
They're afraid of the high cost of borrowing. The market found that the price of insuring the debt (CDS) of giants like Nvidia, Google, and Amazon has soared to historic highs. This means Wall Street thinks these giants have borrowed too much on AI and there’s a risk they might not be able to repay or it’s not worth it. This is the root of the panic.
4. Why is the bond yield a ticking time bomb?
Recently, US Treasury yields have surged (the 10-year is close to 5%). Goldman Sachs gave a strict warning: if yields rise more than 50 basis points within a month (for example, hitting around 5%), the US stock market will suffer greatly. Because if you can earn 5% risk-free from bonds, who would gamble on high-risk stocks? Funds will flow out of stocks into bonds.
5. What will happen next?
Goldman Sachs confidently says: individual stocks may still jump around (high volatility), but the overall market might stabilize (because earnings are still decent). However, the biggest threat is not whether companies make money, but interest rates (the cost of borrowing). As long as rates keep soaring, the good days for the stock market won’t return.
In summary: The chip stock crash is just a superficial wound; the real internal injury is that the market thinks AI spending has gone too far, combined with expensive borrowing costs, funds are retreating from the stock market. The Fed meeting on Wednesday is a critical point, but the alarm has not been lifted yet.😰币圈反复被收割？一招金字塔滚仓，彻底告别当韭菜。

Liquidity leaders right now: $JELLYJELLY • $OPG • $SLX • $LAB • $BSB • $ALLO • $CHIP • $MEM#Korean stocks plunge 8%, Changxin tops A-shares on debut
The wall of the old order has cracked.
The first light shining through the crack is from Changxin Technology!
Listed yesterday, up 466%, market cap 3.28 trillion, the top spot in A-shares. Total turnover of 140 billion for the day, one stock swallowing the liquidity of a mid-sized sector—something unimaginable before. The most remarkable thing is that this price almost exactly matches the on-chain pre-market contract anchor—offshore and onshore funds simultaneously drew a line for Chinese memory for the first time, without flipping Micron's card or looking at Samsung's face.
That night, the US stock market crashed, $SNDK fell 11%, $MU plunged, and Apple took advantage of the chaos to overtake Nvidia as the most valuable company. Some rushed to exit, others rotated positions. Today it's Korea's turn: KOSPI fell 8% intraday triggering a circuit breaker, $SKHY dropped over 11%, $SAMSUNG fell over 9%, and SK Hynix's US ADR fell below its issue price, hitting a new low. Korea just had a circuit breaker recently, the ruling party had just warned about leveraged ETFs, and it immediately came true. Two companies account for 60% of KOSPI's market cap, both down, with no support left on the board.
Some say, is it really necessary? It's just one company listing. I think it is.
Here's my view:
The US market drop is a reckoning, calculating how much global supply will increase after Changxin's capacity expansion; the Korean market drop is a bubble burst, with previously crowded positions and high leverage causing a panic-driven chain stampede. Changxin raised nearly 60 billion yuan this round, plus news that domestic lithography machines have started delivery—though only a few initially—the old story of "lack of money and equipment" is becoming untenable. Overseas funds fear not being overtaken tomorrow, but that the assumption itself is invalid.
Currently, I believe: Changxin still can't catch up to SK Hynix in the HBM field, and the gap between its lithography machines and ASML remains. But the market never waits for things to be completed before pricing; once "impossible" turns into "possible," crowded positions will exit first.
Next, watch two lines: whether Changxin can hold the batch of investors who rushed in on day one; and Samsung and SK Hynix's earnings reports this week—whether the numbers look good. If the data there is good but the stock price remains flat or continues to fall, then don't talk about short-term fluctuations—funds are reshuffling, and some have already joined the new lineup.
The dragon hasn't taken off yet, but the turnaround is making a big splash.
The wall cracked, the foundation loosened, and the wind blowing through the crack is chilly but refreshing.
Now look at today's market:
Big brother and second brother $BTC and $ETH had a big early morning pullback, but it's not yet time for a trend change; this is likely dragged down by US market sentiment.
I think the key is the Wednesday interest rate meeting! And even Trump is ready to taco, saying (about Iran) that "we are having good negotiations." There's a good chance something will happen. Currently, Bitcoin's 62,500 point support is critical to watch! Not breaking it counts as a double bottom; breaking it could trigger a daily-level major correction, and other coins will likely follow.Global Storage Industry Pricing System Drastically Changes: ChangXin Technology Reshapes Market Landscape, Korean Giants Under Pressure
ChangXin Technology stunned the global capital market with a 465.82% surge on its IPO debut, pushing its total market value beyond ¥3.28 trillion to top the A-share market, with a single-day turnover exceeding ¥140 billion, setting a new record. This powerful entry of the "chip giant" not only reshapes China's semiconductor industry map but also triggers a chain reaction in the global storage asset pricing system—U.S. storage stocks plummeted, Korean stocks crashed, and a battle for market dominance has already begun.
1. ChangXin Technology: Breaking Market Monopoly, Leveraging Valuation Reconstruction
As the "game changer" in China's storage chip sector, ChangXin Technology confronts international giants with technological breakthroughs and capital strength. Its closing price on the first day soared 5.66 times above the issue price, highly consistent with on-chain contract pricing, demonstrating strong market recognition of its technological capabilities and prospects for domestic substitution.
Nearly ¥60 billion raised will be directly invested in wafer manufacturing upgrades and cutting-edge technologies like HBM, accelerating capacity expansion and product iteration. CITIC Securities predicts that AI-driven global DRAM demand will continue to explode, with shortages of 4.3%/5.7%/5.9% in 2026-2028 respectively. ChangXin's expansion plan is timely. As its market share rises from less than 8% to challenge the three international giants (who collectively hold nearly 90%), market expectations for a shift from a "triopoly" to "multipolar competition" are rapidly heating up.
2. Global Market Turbulence: Intensified Capital Game Among China, U.S., and Korea
The shockwave from ChangXin Technology quickly crossed oceans: U.S. storage stocks fell in response, SanDisk dropped 11%, Micron was under pressure, and Apple swapped tech stocks to reclaim the top market cap spot. The next day, South Korea's KOSPI index plunged 8%, SK Hynix fell 11%, Samsung Electronics dropped over 9%, and Hynix ADR hit a historic low below its issue price.
South Korea's ruling party urgently warned about leveraged ETF risks, spreading market panic. The core logic of this "pricing earthquake" is that ChangXin's rise breaks the long-held "technology premium" and "scarcity dividend" enjoyed by Korean companies, forcing global capital to reassess storage asset valuations—once Chinese capacity begins filling high-end market gaps, the high-margin model of the Korean "duopoly" faces structural challenges.
3. Chain Reaction Repricing: The Battle Between Cyclicality and Growth
The cyclical nature of the storage industry and ChangXin's growth expectations form a complex interplay. Historical patterns show the storage industry often falls into a "price hike - capacity expansion - oversupply" cycle, but the AI wave is rewriting this script: CITIC Securities points out that HBM and AI server demand will be the core growth drivers over the next three years, increasing their share from 24% to 32%.
ChangXin's entry coincides with an industry upcycle; its technological catch-up (such as 17nm process mass production) and domestic substitution policy support provide a "growth stock" narrative for the market. Meanwhile, Korean companies face short-term supply-demand mismatches and price pressure due to large capital expenditures and long expansion cycles, highlighting their cyclical stock attributes. This difference is directly reflected in stock performance: the market holds long-term expectations of "technological breakthroughs + market share gains" for ChangXin, while worrying about cyclical turning point risks for Korean firms.
4. Future Landscape: The Tripartite Contest of Technology, Capacity, and Geopolitics
The shock triggered by ChangXin Technology essentially represents a concentrated outbreak of technological iteration, capacity competition, and geopolitical struggle. Its fundraising focus on the HBM field is the key bottleneck for AI computing power; a breakthrough here would completely overturn the existing landscape.
Korean companies are counterattacking with multi-billion-dollar capacity expansions, while U.S. firms like Micron are strengthening technological barriers. The three parties will continue fierce competition in capital, policy, and supply chain layers. Guojin Securities judges: "A new AI-driven storage super cycle has begun; model implementation will generate massive demand, and ChangXin's breakthrough may become the turning point in the industry landscape."
From ChangXin Technology's single-day turnover exceeding ¥100 billion to the Korean stock crash and U.S. firms under pressure, this 48-hour market upheaval is a microcosm of the qualitative change in global semiconductor industry strength.
As China breaks through "bottleneck" technologies and supports industrial upgrading with capital and policy, the valuation premium of traditional storage giants will inevitably face market revaluation. In the future, the pricing power battle in the storage industry will fiercely revolve around technological innovation, capacity flexibility, and geopolitical economy. ChangXin Technology's IPO is not only a corporate victory but also a key move for China on the global semiconductor map.

@OKX星球 🚨 One headline wiped out billions from the oil trade.
Not because demand collapsed. Not because supply surged.
Because the market started believing the guns might stay silent.
After weeks of climbing on geopolitical fear, crude oil is finally giving back its risk premium as confidence in a ceasefire grows.
WTI has fallen to around $80 per barrel, down from its recent high near $93.5. This isn't just another pullback—it's the market repricing geopolitical risk in real time.
Many are blaming charts.
The real driver is changing expectations.
As fears of supply disruptions fade, traders are no longer willing to pay a premium for oil. Right now, headlines are moving the market more than traditional supply-and-demand data.
But don't get too comfortable.
One unexpected development in the Middle East could erase this decline just as quickly and send volatility soaring again.
If oil continues to cool, inflation pressures may ease further.
That would be welcome news for central banks—and potentially bullish for risk assets.
Lower energy costs often improve market liquidity and investor confidence, creating a stronger backdrop for assets like $BTC, $ETH, and leading AI-related tokens.
Still, oil has a long history of violent reversals.
This drop doesn't guarantee a lasting downtrend. The next move will depend on whether the ceasefire holds and whether key support levels remain intact.
The biggest story isn't that oil is falling.
It's that global markets may be shifting from pricing fear to pricing opportunity.
#CeasefireHitsCrude #AIEarningsWatch #OKXOrbitTopics
$CL $BTC $ETH
#DailyOrbit #停火预期兑现, WTI crude oil futures fell 8.68% in a single day
A comprehensive decline—what signal is this?
By morning, US stocks, crypto, gold, and crude oil were all falling, and the reverse linkage in oil prices had disappeared
The key point is that although oil prices have plummeted this time, there has been little news of friendly negotiations between the two sides.
Yesterday, Trump said negotiating with Iran would lead to good outcomes, but just around the corner, Iran slapped him in the face and denied the talks
This wave of decline was not only triggered by a tacit ceasefire between both sides but also triggered a stampede down.
Crude oil is such a macro risk asset that gets caught by news
As mentioned above, as long as Iran and Trump are both rekindled wars under pressure, full-scale war will not break out
So once there is news of a stop, oil prices will cool down quickly.
At present, this is indeed the case
But now, it has not yet entered a definite stage of negotiation and ceasefire
Instead, it was a spontaneous, tacit ceasefire between both sides, which could be a tactical ceasefire
Once the fire is restarted, oil prices will rebound once more
Technically, it is also close to the key support level of 79-77, so attention can be paid to the stop-decline here. If the Middle East makes a big splash, combined with Thursday's rate decision or Walsh taking a dovish move, a rebound will follow.
