Domestic lithography machines, China Storage listing, open-source large models in China...
In the past, these news wouldn't have had much impact on U.S. stocks, because the market would see them as fake news, like a farce like Loongson...
But now it seems his attitude has changed, and he feels a bit like he's facing a formidable enemy...
Putting aside whether lithography machines are just fake news and farce, or whether storage and large models have caught up, although they haven't surpassed, they just keep sticking to disgust you...
If lithography machines gradually catch up and chip advantages are diminished, the entire AI valuation in the US stock market will have to be completely recalculated...
Because most of the premium comes from the foundational monopoly, I somewhat believe this news. After all, there have been discussions about China's self-developed lithography machine architecture for a year ago. It's a kind of strategy where power flies bricks and miracles happen...
The facts prove that if you block China, you'll only be utterly vulnerable to knockoffs, and then China will catch up with you in terms of applications and seize your market share...
If you let China use it freely, there won't be any systemic challenges. After all these years, China still doesn't have a decent operating system—isn't that because it's open source?
In short, the US stock market hasn't opened yet, so it doesn't matter what you say. Just watch the market reaction tonight. Nasdaq futures dipped slightly, not looking frightened; instead, South Korea was the first to kneel...#停火预期兑现, WTI crude oil futures fell 8.68% in a single day
Expected ceasefire fulfilled, WTI crude oil fell 8.68% in a single day: Don't celebrate too soon, this is not pure positive news
On July 27, New York closed: WTI September contract at $82.61, down 7.50% for the day; The largest intraday drop was over 8%, some platforms saw a -8.68% drop, Brent also plunged 8.70%, erasing all last week's gains in two days, shattering the dream of 100-yuan oil prices.
The direct trigger is this: Trump halted airstrikes on Iran, leaving a window for negotiations, the market cut the extreme tail probability of Hormuz blockade + full supply disruption, and concentrated geopolitical premium closing positions. But this is not peace, it's a breather—Trump's words fail to resume strikes, the Houthis are still bombing Red Sea facilities, and the strait's flow is only 15% of pre-war levels.
My viewpoint is straightforward and divided into three layers:
First, this is an indirect bullish bias for the crypto world, but it's not a switch for tomorrow's rally.
The transmission chain is old: oil prices fall → inflation expectations fall→ rate cut opportunities → liquidity expectations loosen→ BTC/ETH as high-β assets benefit in the medium term. But in the 2026 environment, the chain is too long, with the Fed stuck in between, and I've been proven wrong once — can't believe the net flow of the temporary + ETF hasn't turned positive yet. Oil prices fell 8% in a single day and can't save micro-level liquidity.
If you really believe in this positive news, you'll need to wait for CPI data to be continuously validated + dot plot turns dovish, not just a candlestick reaction tonight.
Second, distinguish between declines in geopolitical easing and collapse in demand.
This time, it's the former—supply hasn't stopped, demand hasn't collapsed, pure premium squeezes out, which is clean positive for risk assets.
But if it later turns into "global economic data is terrible → oil keeps falling," then it becomes recession pricing. BTC will first follow the decline and wait for easing, with the rhythm completely reversed. The market price is currently the first type; don't imagine the second option as a premature scare for yourself.
Third, the most important thing to watch out for is that all the good news is being exhausted.
The moment the ceasefire expectation materializes, the long positions in crude oil are fully unwinded, and crypto bears can take advantage of the macro positive news to reverse and wash the bulls. BTC hasn't followed the rise in the past couple of days isn't stupid; it's waiting: waiting for the Fed's rhetoric at this week's meeting, waiting for IBIT net flow to shift, and waiting for oil prices to hold at $82. Big money doesn't look at Toutiao, but on verification.
They don't chase long BTC just because oil prices fell 8%, nor do they go short on the opposite side. Use WTI 80-82 USD as a macro anchor, and if it falls below 78 accompanied by recession data→ risk assets should be revised downward. Position allocation is allocated to inflation data + CPI + ETF net flow confirmation, so you don't make money with poor sentiment. The latest rise in Chinese equities is not being driven by a single policy announcement or a temporary burst of speculative enthusiasm. It reflects the convergence of three powerful forces: an AI-driven memory-chip upcycle, the accelerating localisation of China’s semiconductor supply chain, and a broader reassessment of Chinese assets after years of valuation compression. This does not mean that every Chinese stock has entered a new bull market. The rally remains highly selective, with capital BITCOIN WEEKLY W31/2026 — @MinerCost_BTC
Updated: 2026-07-28
COP (Electricity Cost) : $59,035 / BTC
AISC (All-In Sustaining Cost) : $76,746 / BTC
BTC Price : $63,213 (Jul 28, 10:01 VNT)
Price / COP : 1.07x
Price / AISC : 0.82x => Trading below production cost — accumulation zone
200W SMA : -0.5%
Weekly RSI : 30.3
Market Insights:
Bitcoin continues to trade below its All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) of mining.
In W30, BTC closed just above the 200-week SMA for the 4th consecutive week.
Currently in W31, the price is pulling back to $63k (slightly below the 200-week SMA).
Historically, Bitcoin tends to consolidate around the 200-week SMA for an extended period. Personally, I prefer accumulating when the price dips below the 200W SMA (note: historically, wick downs of up to 30% below the 200W SMA are possible).
Do you think BTC will resume its recovery momentum towards $70k, or face deeper stress tests down to the $50k range?

Last night I guessed Koreans are starting to return to crypto, and this morning I saw the Korean index crash and circuit breakers, so guess again: sold BTC today to cover stock margin?July 28 Daily Report: Bitcoin fell below 64,000, over 160,000 people liquidated, market surrendered $BTC #韩股重挫8% ahead of Fed policy meeting, Changxin topped A-shares for the first day
Bitcoin fell below the $64,000 mark this morning, with OKX data showing a low of $63,988, down 2.18% in 24 hours. Ethereum fared even worse, simultaneously falling below $1,900 and further dipping to around $1,880, a drop of over 3%. In the past 24 hours, about $610 million was liquidated across the network, with over 160,000 people being liquidated. The direct trigger was Trump's verbal criticism. In an interview, Trump said the U.S. is engaged in "deep negotiations" with Iran, has postponed strike plans, but at the same time warned that diplomatic channels are "very short-lived" and that military operations will resume if negotiations fail. Iran immediately denied that direct negotiations were underway. Geopolitical uncertainty makes the market run ahead as a precaution. The broader context is the Federal Reserve's July 28-29 policy meeting. CME data shows about a 64% probability of keeping rates unchanged, but the probability of a 25 basis point hike has risen to 36%, indicating the market is pricing in hawkish risks ahead of time. The profit-taking gains accumulated during the recent rebound have all flowed away, and combined with contract liquidations triggering chain liquidations, these factors have collectively contributed to this round of declines. The financial outlook is also bleak. The scale of Bitcoin spot ETF inflows has significantly narrowed, institutional funds have diverged, and there has been no large-scale bottom-fishing activity. Technically, the price has broken below the lower boundary of the previous range of the previous volatility range. The upper zone between 64,000-64,300 has become a resistance zone, while the core support below is at 62,800-63,000.
Two major events this week dominated the direction: the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and Trump's next steps in his verbal battles. Before the policy meeting, watch more and move less.The U.S. stock market has been rising steadily since the end of 2023, driven not simply by economic recovery but by the AI revolution, tech capital expenditures, and valuation expansion fueled by interest rate cut expectations.
But the market always follows one rule: during the uptrend, it trades on imagination; at the top, it trades on realization.
From a technical perspective, the Nasdaq has now entered a critical zone.
After surging near 31,000, the index has been oscillating, forming a clear high-level rounded top pattern. This indicates that the market is not lacking buyers, but the funds chasing highs are decreasing, and earlier profits are gradually being realized.
Currently, it has dropped to around 27,700, with 27,000 as the short-term boundary between bulls and bears. If this level holds, the market still has a chance to form a high-level consolidation and attempt to challenge the 28,500-29,000 range again.
However, if 27,000 is decisively broken, it means the high-level structure is damaged, and the market may further seek mid-term support near 25,500-26,000. The core of this correction is not just a technical pullback but the market beginning to reassess AI valuations.
In the past two years, capital believed that "AI will change the future," so the market was willing to price in growth for the coming years in advance.
But now the question becomes: "When will the money invested in AI truly turn into profits?"
Giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are still heavily investing in AI infrastructure, but the capital markets are starting to focus on a practical issue: if massive capital expenditures cannot quickly translate into profit growth, then high valuations need to be readjusted.
On the macro side, the market also faces pressure.
The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations have already been priced in. If inflation fluctuates again and high interest rates persist longer than expected, the most vulnerable will be high-valuation tech assets.
At the same time, global geopolitical risks, supply chain adjustments, and demand for safe-haven assets may increase market volatility.
I believe the Nasdaq is very likely to enter a valuation digestion phase in the coming months. This does not mean the AI rally is over, but the market is shifting from "speculating on concepts" to "focusing on earnings."
The AI story will not end, but stock prices will never rise indefinitely just because of the story. The harshest reality of the market is that when everyone believes prices won’t fall, the correction has often already begun; and the real opportunities usually lie where others have lost confidence. After Changxin Technology's IPO, don't just look at production capacity: 54% debt ratio coexists with 52 billion yuan in cash
Changxin Technology still ranks first on the OKX Planet hot list, with market discussions mostly focused on market share, IPO price, and AI memory narratives. For a capital-intensive DRAM manufacturer, I prefer to first examine liquidity: it can simultaneously hold a large amount of cash, strong operating cash flow, and a relatively high debt-to-asset ratio. These three factors are not contradictory and conclusions should not be drawn based on only one.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange prospectus shows that by the end of 2025, Changxin Technology will have approximately ¥51.99 billion in monetary funds, a consolidated debt-to-asset ratio of 54.24%, a current ratio of 2.10, and a quick ratio of 1.56. Compared to the end of 2024, the consolidated debt-to-asset ratio decreased from 61.61%, the current ratio increased from 1.19, and the quick ratio rose from 0.86. The company explains that the decrease in current liabilities is due to the reduction of long-term loans maturing within one year in 2025, which improved liquidity indicators.
However, compared to peer companies listed in the prospectus, Changxin's current and quick ratios remain below the peer average, while its debt-to-asset ratio is higher. The reason is not mysterious: DRAM requires continuous factory construction, equipment purchases, and R&D, and the company also uses debt financing to meet capital needs. This does not mean financial risk is out of control, nor that cash is sufficient to cover all future investments; what really matters is the matching of debt maturity, interest coverage, operating cash flow, and capital expenditures.
The net cash flow from operating activities in 2025 is about ¥36.52 billion, a significant increase from approximately ¥6.897 billion in 2024; the interest coverage ratio improved from negative 1.79 times in 2024 to 3.43 times. Inventory turnover also rose from 1.29 times to 1.44 times. These figures reflect improved operations and debt repayment ability that year, but when the DRAM cycle reverses, prices, inventory, and cash recovery may also change inversely, so one year's improvement should not be assumed permanent.
Going forward, I will track liquidity with a table including: monetary funds, short-term and long-term debt, current ratio, inventory turnover, operating cash flow, and capital expenditures. If capacity expansion is accompanied by improved inventory turnover, reduced debt ratio, and cash flow coverage, the financial structure can be considered healthier; if equipment investment accelerates but inventory rises and cash recovery declines, caution is warranted. Popular topics can attract attention, but what truly determines the resilience of capital-intensive enterprises remains the balance sheet and cash flow, not the stock price on a single day.
Improvement in inventory turnover must also be considered alongside inventory write-downs and product prices. During DRAM upcycles, rising prices may help digest inventory; during downcycles, the same inventory volume may face higher impairment risk. If official quarterly disclosures only show ending inventory without breakdowns, one cannot infer the proportions of wafers, work-in-progress, and finished goods. A large amount of cash may also correspond to equipment purchases and construction commitments, so available liquidity should be based on notes. The improvement in interest coverage ratio comes from changes in both profit and interest expenses; subsequent verification of borrowing costs is necessary rather than only observing a decline in debt ratio. After IPO financing inflows, cash and equity will change, and new reporting period figures should replace the prospectus baseline.❓ COTI has already risen by 74.25%, so why is the contract funding rate negative? As of 11:31 AM Beijing time on July 28, 2026, Gate USDT perpetual contract gainers ranked first: COTI/USDT: $0.01286 24-hour gain: +74.25% 24-hour high: $0.01433 24-hour low: $0.00738 24-hour trading volume: approximately 500.3 million COTI 24-hour trading volume: approximately 5.9424 million USDT Contract open interest: approximately 4, 9.2398 million contract units Funding rate: -0.1291% Mark price: $0.01285 Index price: $🔥 0.01297 24-hour range nearly doubled COTI rose from $0.00738 to a high of $0.01433, an increase of about 94% over the period. The current price has risen 74.25% from its low point, but has fallen back about 10.3% from the intraday high. This shows it is indeed strong, but the high-level volatility has clearly started to amplify. Chasing in now is not to ambush at low levels, but to compete simultaneously with take-profit, bull-chasing, and short-selling funds on a nearly doubling K-line. 🩳 Most unusual data: Up 74%, but the funding rate is negative. COTI's current funding rate is about -0.1291%. Typically, a negative funding rate means strong short demand in the futures market, and short sellers need to push long positions$MET /USDT is showing a strong recovery on the 1H chart after finding support near 0.1567. Buyers stepped in decisively, driving the price back to around 0.1705 and signaling renewed bullish momentum after the recent pullback.
The rebound has been supported by consecutive bullish candles, suggesting demand has returned. Even though the pair remains below the earlier swing high near 0.1812, the current structure shows improving strength as long as higher levels continue to hold.
If buying pressure continues, MET could challenge the next resistance zone in the sessions ahead. However, a period of consolidation would also be healthy after such a sharp recovery.
Do you think $MET /USDT has enough momentum to revisit 0.1812, or will buyers pause before the next move?
#OKXTraderVoices Why are some trade orders just faster than yours?
The answer lies in the laws of physics.
Layer 1: Colocation
Placing servers inside the exchange's data center reduces the distance from several kilometers to just tens of meters. A fiber optic cable shortened by a few meters means a few nanoseconds— in a world where nanoseconds decide the outcome, this is a game-changing advantage.
Layer 2: Dedicated Network Access
Bypassing the public internet and connecting directly to the exchange's internal LAN. Skipping even one switch results in microsecond-level lead time.
Layer 3: Kernel Bypass Technology
DPDK/Onload directly bypasses the Linux kernel protocol stack, skipping system calls and context switches. SolarFlare NIC + SR-IOV virtualization can achieve inter-VM latency within 2μs, matching physical machine performance.
Exchanges have also become savvy, now selling "market data LAN access" and "trading LAN access" services.
Ultimately, the essence of high-frequency trading is to squeeze every nanosecond within the limits allowed by physical laws.

ETF持有者倾向于在反弹时卖出，以摆脱亏损；主权机构则会在价格下跌时买入，因为其长期配置目标并未改变。未来购买意愿也有调查数据支持，而非单纯推测。2026年官方部门调查显示，创纪录的45%央行计划增加黄金储备，89%的央行预计全球黄金储备将在未来十二个月继续增长。
储备管理机构已经明确表示，主要驱动因素是推动资产多元化、降低对美元的依赖。欧洲官方机构6月发布的数据也显示，黄金在全球储备体系中的作用仍在扩大。
这正是定义当前黄金市场的制度性变化。
2025年，西方ETF买家决定黄金的边际价格；到了2026年，它们转为净卖方，而主权机构需求则成为市场底部。这种买方交接解释了为什么黄金即使下跌27%也没有彻底破坏长期结构，也解释了为什么4000美元能够守住每一次测试。
同时，它也解释了反弹为何频繁受阻：主权机构能够提供价格底部，但它们不会像趋势资金一样追涨。$XAU 当原油期货的弹道在82.62美元附近突然坠地，我的瞄准镜里除了硝烟，只剩下一片寂静。
停火信号从白宫传出，美伊双方谈判代表的手在桌底已经握了12天——特朗普下令停止对伊朗空袭的那一刻，WTI的弹壳就崩了8%。现在布伦特原油从100美元的高地滚到88美元附近，像被击中翅膀的乌鸦。预测市场给出75%的概率，8月31日前双方会签署临时停火协定。这种赔率，放在狙击阵位上，已经是扣动扳机的黄金窗口。
但我的估值模型里还有一个变数——$XMETA。
这个美股Token标的，和原油走势的相关系数在最近48小时从0.3飙到0.78。市场情绪像潮湿的弹药，一点火星就能引爆。我调了调瞄准镜的旋钮，测距仪显示当前油价对XMETA的预期已经计入了一次性8%的跌幅。但真正的风险在于：停火谈判一旦破裂，原油会迅速回弹至90美元上方，而XMETA的做空仓位会被瞬间挤压。我见过太多狙击手在目标移动时提前扣扳机，结果被反扑的流弹击中。
现在我趴在伪装网下，风速计显示宏观情绪正在转向鸽派。美伊会谈的每一个字眼都像标尺刻度，我的手指搭在扳机护圈上，没有热身动作——狙击手的纪律就是：没有完美的盈亏比，绝不让子弹出膛。XMETA当前的价格处于目标区间的中位，向上有9%的阻力，向下有6%的支撑，但盈亏比只有1.5:1，不符合我一击必杀的铁律。
继续潜伏。原油的弹道还在摇晃，停火协议的阴影里可能有埋得更深的地雷。美元指数、伊朗核协议条款、以色列的安全红线，这些都是尚未闭合的风偏参数。市场情绪像沙漠里的热浪，扭曲了距离感。我用瞄准镜的十字线锁住$XMETA的日线筹码分布，发现主力资金正在83.5美元附近悄悄吸筹——那是我上一枪留下的弹着点。
他们以为我撤了。不，我只是在等风停。#CeasefireHitsCrude 英文翻译
Why did $ETH TH suddenly plunge?
This sudden decline is often the result of resonance between macro sentiment, industry dynamics, and technical aspects:
1. Macro sentiment and rising risk aversion (core external factor)
Recently, global macroeconomic uncertainties have increased significantly, leading to a noticeable rise in market risk aversion. The repeated geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States, coupled with the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting, make investors more cautious when facing risky assets. In addition, the recent sharp correction in U.S. tech stocks and the AI sector has dragged down the overall performance of global risky assets, making it difficult for the cryptocurrency market to remain unaffected.
2. Short-term speculation triggered by industry dynamics (key clues in the picture)
"Lido initiates historic migration of US16 billion to optimize Ethereum performance."
In the long term, this is a positive development, but there are doubts in the short term: Lido is indeed migrating approximately US16.5 billion (over 8 million stETH) to the new validator architecture after the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, which helps reduce the load on the Ethereum consensus layer and enhance security.
However, during such a large-scale migration, some investors may worry about potential smart contract risks or minor fluctuations in staking returns in the short term (expected annualized return compression of around 0.28%). Such uncertainty easily triggers short-term profit-taking or risk-averse selling.
3. Technical aspect: Profit-taking and leverage unwinding
ETH accumulated a significant number of short-term profitable positions when it rebounded above US$1,980. When the price failed to break through and the macro sentiment turned negative, major funds or large traders tended to dump the market to unwind highly leveraged long positions. This chain reaction of liquidations often accelerates the short-term decline.

Key support level: The most determined Bitcoin buyers have not bought for five consecutive weeks
As of the week ending July 26, Strategy had not bought or sold BTC, with an open position of 843,775 BTC. This marks the fifth consecutive week without increasing holdings.
Meanwhile, the company sold about 5.43 million shares of MSTR, raising approximately $544.5 million and raising its dollar reserves to $3.75 billion; the company said it could cover about 2.1 years of preferred dividends.
The fact is that funds are prioritized for liquidity reserves. Inferentially, this does not necessarily mean bearish on BTC; it more likely indicates that the capital structure is beginning to constrain the narrative of "unlimited increases." What ordinary holders tend to overlook are equity dilution, dividends, and debt pressure, not what Saylor posted in the chart.美股和BTC的联动，不是简单的跟涨跟跌，是三层逻辑嵌套在一起。在实战中重点关注微策略ETF，基本会同步BTC的走势！
第一层，时间错位带来的预判窗口。
美股交易时段在BTC的凌晨到早盘，美股收盘后的走势直接决定了BTC次日开盘的情绪基调。纳指跌1.5%，半导体指数跌4%，第二天韩股和BTC大概率同步承压。这不是猜测，是实打实的资金传导。7月20日韩股补跌4%，就是因为上周五美股半导体暴跌时韩股休市，第二天一次性把账补上。
实战中，我会在美股收盘后画一条线，纳指跌超1%，BTC在亚洲时段大概率低开，等低开企稳再动手。如果美股收盘前科技股出现V型反转，那BTC第二天的高开基本是确定的，提前挂单就行。
第二层，资金传导不是直线，但有迹可循。
美股和BTC的联动主要通过两个管道。管道一是宏观定价，美股跌，风险偏好下降，BTC被抽流动性。管道二是机构配置，美股里的科技资金和加密资金在同一个池子里，美股跌了需要补保证金，先卖BTC变现。
但有意思的是，7月17日存储股集体崩盘，费半指数单日跌4.3%，BTC反而没跟跌太多。这说明联动在松动，加密市场正在从科技股的影子变成独立的定价主体。实战中要观察BTC是否比科技股跌得少，如果出现背离，往往是短期见底的信号。
第三层，情绪传导比资金传导更快，但更容易骗人。
美股盘前数据、龙头股财报、美联储官员讲话，这些事件在美股开盘前就会通过期货市场传导到BTC。7月15日CPI数据公布后，纳指期货直线拉升，BTC同时从64000拉到66000，几乎是同步反应。但情绪传导来得快去得也快，容易出现假突破。
实战应对策略，关注美股盘前期货，纳斯达克100指数期货涨跌0.5%以上时，BTC通常会跟随同向波动。重要经济数据公布前后，不要提前挂单，等美股期货方向确认后再动手。如果美股大涨但BTC涨幅明显落后，说明短期背离正在形成，是反向操作的信号。#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $ETH $BTC $DOGE The most outrageous cyclical stock bubble in history, cloaked in the guise of "structural AI demand." From 2025 to the first half of 2026, Samsung and SK Hynix surged through HBM and DRAM, with profit margins soaring to 70%+. SK Hynix once surpassed Nvidia's quarterly profits, with a market value surpassing one trillion dollars. KOSPI was dragged by these two companies to double its price, creating nationwide FOMO. And what happened? It peaked in June 2026 (close to 9400 points), and in July it crashed 25-30%, triggering multiple circuit breaks. Stock prices have plummeted, and the losses from retail buying haven't been completely wiped off. They are indeed making money, but their dividend yields are pitifully low (less than 1% for Samsung, even lower for SK Hynix), and almost all profits are invested in new capacity. Management enjoyed huge profits while continuing to expand production, betting that the "shortage will last until 2030." History tells you: every "this time is different" super cycle in the storage industry ends with overcapacity, prices halved, and company losses. The current valuation has already eaten up the perfect profits for 2027-2028 ahead of schedule. If cloud providers slow down or new capacity is concentrated in rollout in mid to late 2027, price peaks will inevitably occur. Morgan Stanley has already warned that Q4 contract prices may peak, and the momentum for earnings upward revisions is weakening. The vast majority of "growth stories" ultimately prove to be money-making tools. The company goes public/shares and gets your money → Management tells stories, expands, burns cash → The stock price is propped up by narrative and capital buying → Once the story doesn't materialize, the stock price is halved, shareholders lose money on paper, and the original shareholders and management have already reduced their holdingsThe U.S. stock market has risen steadily from the bottom in 2023, driven not by a simple economic recovery, but by the AI revolution, tech capital spending, and valuation expansion driven by expectations of interest rate cuts.
But the market always follows a pattern: during the upward phase, you trade for imagination; in the top phase, you trade for cash-out.
From a technical structure perspective, the Nasdaq has now entered a key area.
After surging near 31,000, the index continued to fluctuate, forming a clear high-level arc structure. This indicates that the market is not without buying but rather that chasing funds are decreasing, and early profit-taking funds are gradually realizing.
It has now fallen to around 27,700, which has become the short-term dividing line between bulls and bears. If it can hold here, the market still has a chance for high-level oscillation and recovery, challenging the 28,500-29,000 area again.
However, if 27,000 is effectively broken, it would mean the structure at the high level has been disrupted, and the market may further seek medium-term support near 25,500-26,000. The core of this adjustment is not just technical pullbacks, but the market beginning to reassess AI valuations.
Over the past two years, capital has believed: "AI will change the future." "So the market is willing to price in growth for the coming years in advance.
But now the question becomes: "When will the money invested in AI truly turn into profit?" ”
Giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are still investing heavily in AI infrastructure, but the capital market is starting to focus on a real issue: if massive capital expenditures cannot quickly translate into profit growth, then high valuations will need to be readjusted.
Stories can drive prices up, but ultimately, performance will pay the price.
On the macro side, the market is also under pressure.
Fed rate cut expectations have already been traded in advance. If inflation fluctuates and high interest rates persist longer than expected, the most vulnerable will be high-valuation tech assets.
At the same time, global geopolitical risks, supply chain adjustments, and the need for capital as a safe-haven asset may also increase market volatility.
I believe the Nasdaq is very likely to enter a valuation digestion phase in the coming months.
This is not the end of the AI rally, but rather the market is moving from "speculating on concepts" to "looking at profits."
Key locations:
Pressure: 28,500-29,000
Strong pressure: 30,000-31,000
Support: 27,000
Key medium-term support: 25,500-26,000
The story of AI never ends, but stock prices will never keep rising as the story goes. The harshest part of the market is that when everyone believes it won't fall, the correction often begins; And real opportunities usually hide when others lose confidence.Hyperliquid's SKHX Flash Crash Triggers Massive Liquidations
Hyperliquid's $SKHX plunged 17.9% in a sudden flash crash this morning, with liquidations over the past 4 hours reportedly exceeding Binance. 😨
The move was triggered after a fat-finger trade during South Korea's NXT pre-market, where 1 share of SK Hynix was mistakenly executed at ₩1,272,000 (~$867). Thin liquidity caused the stock to briefly crash nearly 30%, triggering a trading halt.
Hyperliquid's oracle quickly reflected the abnormal price, causing SKHX to plunge. Arbitrage activity then spread the move to Binance, leading to a temporary market-wide price dislocation.
$SKHYNIX
Prices have since returned to normal, but it remains unclear whether traders liquidated during the flash crash will receive any compensation.
👀 The incident highlights the risks of oracle-driven synthetic assets, especially during periods of low liquidity and abnormal price prints.❓ SPY was clearly up 0.02%, so why do chip stock holders seem to be experiencing a major crash? Because of the calm of the index, it successfully masked the intense internal divisions. As of the US stock market close on July 27, 2026: SPY: $739.09, +0.02% QQQ: $682.12, -0.31% DIA: $521.26, +0.48% AAPL: $336.91, +1.17% NVDA: $196.51, -4.99% TSLA: $309.22, -1.22% SNDK: $1,278.23, -11.02% 💥 Index did not collapse, Chip stocks were first precisely smashed: Nvidia fell 4.99% in a single day, with a trading volume of about 154 million shares, and its stock price directly dropping below $200. SanDisk's performance was even worse: down 11.02% in a single day, down $158.33, with a trading volume of about 21.2759 million shares. This is not a random pullback for a small stock, but rather a high-volatility hardware sector facing selling pressure simultaneously. But until a clear and unified negative news is verified, one cannot simply attribute the decline to a single piece of news. What the market can confirm is that funds are actively reducing risk exposure to some high-valuation chips and storage targets. 🍎 The money hasn't left the US stock market, just changed seats. Apple rose 1.17%, Dow ETF rose 0.48%, and SPY closed basically flat. This shows that market funds are not fleeing entirely, but are choosing a new direction:#韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股
Today, the global memory market script is particularly contradictory.
Changxin Technology opened at 49.5 yuan on its first day on the STAR Market, rising more than 470%, with a market value soaring to 3.3 trillion yuan, directly becoming the top of the A-share market. The intraday turnover broke 140 billion yuan, a historical record. One lot earned 20,000 yuan, with 9.42 million investors participating in the IPO. It earned 33 billion yuan in one quarter, with an expected net profit of 50 to 57 billion yuan in the first half of the year. Its global DRAM market share rose from 4.7% to 7.6%, ranking fourth worldwide.
Then look at South Korea. The KOSPI opened down 1.8%, once triggered a circuit breaker during the session, SK Hynix fell more than 2%, Samsung fell 0.8%. On Monday, it rebounded symbolically by less than 1%, but on Tuesday it crashed again—Tuesday morning KOSPI dropped over 8%, marking the eighth circuit breaker this year. SK Hynix fell over 10%, Samsung Electronics fell over 8%.
Two markets, the same industry, completely opposite trends.
Changxin's rise logic lies in the A-share market pricing it as "China's only DRAM original manufacturer," highlighting its scarcity, while the domestic memory sector is also rising, with the market betting that its fundraising will drive upstream equipment and materials. The logic behind the Korean stock decline is intensified global memory competition—Changxin's market cap has grown, taking market share from Samsung and Hynix. Plus, Changxin's fundraising will expand production, meaning future supply will only increase.
What’s even more contradictory is that the fundamentals of memory haven't collapsed; since the beginning of the year, South Korea's semiconductor exports remain at historic highs. But international market funds are voting on the logic of "Changxin's listing + intensified competition," and Changxin's gains are precisely the flip side of the competitors' declines.
One market is celebrating domestic substitution, while the other is pricing in competitive pressure. Both sides have their reasons, but they can't both be right. 英文翻译
Why did $ETH suddenly plunge?
This sudden decline is often the result of resonance between macro sentiment, industry dynamics, and technical aspects:
1. Macro sentiment and rising risk aversion (core external factor)
Recently, global macroeconomic uncertainties have increased significantly, leading to a noticeable rise in market risk aversion. The repeated geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States, coupled with the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting, make investors more cautious when facing risky assets. In addition, the recent sharp correction in U.S. tech stocks and the AI sector has dragged down the overall performance of global risky assets, making it difficult for the cryptocurrency market to remain unaffected.
2. Short-term speculation triggered by industry dynamics (key clues in the picture)
"Lido initiates historic migration of US16 billion to optimize Ethereum performance."
In the long term, this is a positive development, but there are doubts in the short term: Lido is indeed migrating approximately US16.5 billion (over 8 million stETH) to the new validator architecture after the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, which helps reduce the load on the Ethereum consensus layer and enhance security.
However, during such a large-scale migration, some investors may worry about potential smart contract risks or minor fluctuations in staking returns in the short term (expected annualized return compression of around 0.28%). Such uncertainty easily triggers short-term profit-taking or risk-averse selling.
3. Technical aspect: Profit-taking and leverage unwinding
ETH accumulated a significant number of short-term profitable positions when it rebounded above US$1,980. When the price failed to break through and the macro sentiment turned negative, major funds or large traders tended to dump the market to unwind highly leveraged long positions. This chain reaction of liquidations often accelerates the short-term decline.

Not only SanDisk, the entire storage sector was under pressure: SK Hynix ADR fell below its issue price, and Micron and Western Digital followed suit with declines.
Many investors were confused: Previously, driven by AI computing power demand, NAND flash prices kept rising, and SanDisk had an epic rally this year. Why did the stock price plunge sharply on a night with no sudden negative news?
The crash was not caused by a single piece of news; it was a confluence of emotional triggers + cyclical expectation shifts + loosening capital structure. Let's break it down layer by layer:
1. Direct trigger: ChangXin Technology's IPO leads the market to reprice the global storage competition landscape
The most direct emotional catalyst for the sector-wide sell-off was the domestic storage leader ChangXin Technology's listing on the STAR Market, which surged sharply on its first day. The capital market began to trade on a long-term logic: accelerated release of domestic storage capacity will continuously challenge the overseas storage giants' monopoly. After completing fundraising, ChangXin accelerated its expansion plan, steadily increasing DRAM capacity and planning to continue expanding in the NAND sector. Capital started to worry: global storage supply pressure will rise over the next 2–3 years, casting doubt on the sustainability of NAND price increases. The market began to revise previously overly optimistic profit expectations, and high-level storage stocks were the first to face capital flight.
⚠️ Important distinction: ChangXin's listing was only the emotional trigger, not the fundamental cause of the decline. The short-term capacity release of a single company cannot immediately change current supply and demand; the real sell-off was caused by the market's reversal of "long-term cycle" expectations.
2. Core internal cause: Huge prior gains, massive profit-taking concentrated, triggering multiple sell-offs
SanDisk's rally this round was astonishing, with the stock price nearly multiplying since its spin-off from Western Digital last year, becoming one of the strongest US stock sector leaders in 2026.
1. In recent months, the market had fully priced in all positives: AI servers driving enterprise NAND demand, continuous flash price increases, and rising gross margins;
2. The sector's chips were highly concentrated, with institutions, hedge funds, and short-term funds holding large positions. The stock price was at historical highs, so any slight emotional loosening led profit-taking funds to cash out first;
3. After-hours liquidity is weaker than regular US trading hours. In a low-liquidity environment, concentrated selling easily amplifies volatility, turning slight selling pressure into an extreme drop exceeding 15%.
Simply put: the positives were already priced in, and the market entered a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" phase.
3. Major divergence in industry expectations: NAND price increase narrative questioned
Previously, the core logic supporting SanDisk's stock price was: AI generates massive cold and warm data storage demand, global NAND supply is tight, and chip prices keep rising. But recently, institutional views have diverged significantly:
1. Multiple research firms warned that consumer PC and smartphone demand remains weak, consumer SSD demand is persistently soft, relying solely on AI data center demand;
2. Overseas storage giants prioritize capacity for higher-margin HBM memory, but with upcoming capital expenditures, general NAND capacity is expected to gradually increase;
3. Capital started to worry: if supply continues to expand in 2027, the current flash price cycle may have peaked. Storage is a strongly cyclical industry; once price growth slows, company earnings and valuations will face double pressure.
The market previously assumed "storage price increases would continue long-term," but now capital is betting on an earlier cycle turning point.
4. Sector chain negative feedback, risk appetite declines, cyclical stocks sold first
The overall semiconductor sector weakened overnight, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sharply retreating. Capital rotation path is clear: profit-taking in high-level hardware cyclical sectors, shifting funds to defensive assets or AI application sectors. The storage sector, with high volatility and strong cyclical characteristics, is always the first to be reduced when market risk aversion rises. Coupled with SK Hynix's recent IPO breaking below issue price, panic in the storage sector was further amplified, triggering linked sector-wide sell-offs.[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Everyone is asking Pharaoh, with the Korean stock market crashing and Changxin topping the A-share market, is this a story of two extremes?
Pharaoh directly says, two markets, one is deleveraging, the other is setting a benchmark, both driven by AI narratives that are repricing assets.
On the Korean stock side, it's brutal.
The KOSPI opened today down 5.3%, then widened to 8%, triggering a circuit breaker and halting trading for 20 minutes. SK Hynix plunged over 11% at one point, Samsung Electronics dropped over 9%. This is the eighth circuit breaker this year, averaging one every 19 trading days. The core issue is the index's heavy concentration in Samsung and SK Hynix, which together once accounted for over 60% of KOSPI's total market cap. When these stocks collapse, the whole market follows.
There are three layers of pressure behind this: rising oil prices pushing inflation, the Bank of Korea raising interest rates, and doubts about the sustainability of AI capital support. The market is starting to worry that Nvidia's "recycling financing" model can't support AI infrastructure at the $750 billion scale, and debt risk is being repriced.
Looking at the A-share market, Changxin Technology became a legend on its first day.
Issue price was ¥8.66, closed at ¥49, up 465.82%, with a total market cap of ¥3.28 trillion, topping the A-share market cap rankings, and a turnover of ¥141.1 billion, making it the first A-share stock to break ¥100 billion in single-day turnover. It surpassed Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Kweichow Moutai, and even Intel's market cap.
Changxin is the only domestic company to achieve mass production of DRAM. This IPO raised ¥57.9 billion, the largest in the STAR Market's history. Institutions believe its listing is not just a financing event but a key milestone for domestic memory to accelerate technology iteration through capital markets, potentially starting the transition from import dependence to independent and controllable domestic memory.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?
Two markets, two logics, but both point to the same direction—the global AI asset valuations are being reassessed. Korean stocks' deleveraging is a short-term pain, Changxin's rise is the establishment of a long-term narrative. Bitcoin, as a high-risk asset, will fluctuate short-term with US tech stocks. In the medium term, if the AI narrative stabilizes and risk appetite recovers, Bitcoin will benefit. If AI bubble concerns continue to ferment, Bitcoin will also take a hit.
Pharaoh still says, good trades are waited for, not chased.
Follow Pharaoh, and wealth won't get lost! $ETH $BTC $SOL #韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股 The US stock market experienced a major split: Apple reclaimed the throne, and chip stocks were pinned to the ground
This market is probably giving you a headache. Last night, US stocks closed with indices seemingly calm, with the S&P 500 nearly flat at 7,413 points, but undercurrents are brewing underneath. To put it simply: money is escaping from AI hardware and squeezing into consumer technology.
(1) Explosive "high-low cut": Apple tops the charts, NVIDIA suffers setbacks
The biggest highlight might be the one going viral in your social circle—Apple's market value (4.95 trillion) has surpassed Nvidia (4.76 trillion), reclaiming the world's top spot.
Last night, Apple rose 1.17%, hitting a new high, while neighboring Nvidia plunged nearly 5%, giving up almost all the rebound since June. The market attitude is clear: Apple's "conservative AI" strategy (renting computing power) is more favored by capital than Nvidia's "crazy spending money" closed loop.
(2) Why are chip stocks (SanDisk/AMD) getting hit?
Last night, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 2.23%, SanDisk dropped over 11%, and AMD also dropped 5%+.
There are three reasons: first, Nvidia is offering OpenAI $250 billion in financing guarantees to lease data centers, and this "circular financing" model has sparked market anxiety about the break-even cycle for AI capital expenditures; Second, Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that the S&P 500's stagnation over the past two months stems from the market's uncertainty about whether AI infrastructure spending can be sustained; Third, last night there were reports that China's storage and lithography machines are pushing for self-sufficiency, which has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
JPMorgan believes there are short-term "buy signals," but also admits that semiconductor stock trading is too crowded. The current market theme can be summed up in two words: escaping AI hardware.
(3) Oil prices crashed (-8%), but the Nasdaq didn't rise—that's the real problem
Last night, oil prices plunged 8% in a single day, which logically was favorable for rate cuts, but the Nasdaq opened higher and turned negative. This shows that capital is no longer interested in the profitability prospects of tech stocks. The market is now focused on two things: can the tech giants' earnings hold up? And will the Fed's Walsh suddenly pull off a "surprise rate hike"? The latter part is the real thunder.The Big Three's golden era just entered its countdown.
Don't be fooled by the "domestic substitution" narrative. CXMT's real kill shot isn't that China can now make DRAM. It's that the thirty-year "cut production, defend prices" game is finished.
Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron. Three decades of profits built not on technology, but on默契. Cut together in downturns, feast together on the rebound. No fourth player existed to steal your plate while you dieted.
Now a fourth has sat down. And he's not here to follow rules.
CXMT has 58 billion in cash and the Hefei government at its back. You think they'll cooperate on price defense? Don't be naive. They want market share. They want to shove Samsung out of China's phone supply chain. Profits? That's a problem for later.
Next DRAM winter, when Samsung announces capex cuts, what will CXMT do? Expand. Double down. Because your retreat is his advance.
And then there's AI, the chaos agent.
HBM margins are too fat. Samsung and SK Hynix are frantically shifting lines. Standard DRAM? Put it on hold. Result: commodity memory supply tightens. And CXMT lays eggs in that gap like crazy. Not fighting you in the HBM premium league. Just eating the mid-to-low-end market you're too busy to defend.
By the time the Big Three look back, the new guy's already built a fortress in your backyard.
For phone makers and server manufacturers, this is a gift. An extra supplier. Bargaining power. No more groveling before Samsung's pricing demands.
But if you hold Samsung or SK Hynix stock, fasten your seatbelt. A pie once shared by three now feeds four—and the newcomer doesn't care what that pie sells for this quarter.
CXMT's IPO isn't China's chip victory. It's what happens when a cozy thirty-year oligopoly club gets its first member who refuses to follow the script.
$SKHYNIX The company that trusts BTC the most hasn't bought any coins for five consecutive weeks.
Strategy currently still holds 843,775 BTC, but it has not continued buying for the fifth consecutive week.
What’s even more noteworthy is that it recently sold about 5.4 million shares of MSTR, raising approximately $544.5 million, while increasing its cash reserves to $3.75 billion.
Putting these numbers together is quite interesting.
The strongest verbal Bitcoin faith is now also seriously keeping cash on the balance sheet.
Strategy’s average cost for BTC holdings is about $75,476, while BTC is still around $63,000. Roughly calculated, there is already a difference of over $10 billion between this position and its cost.
But I don’t think this necessarily means it is bearish on BTC.
A more likely explanation is: when a company carries preferred stock dividends and debt interest, surviving the downturn is far more important than daring to keep calling for more.
Retail investors like to discuss faith; institutions first consider cash flow.
What’s really worth debating is:
Is Strategy now hoarding a large amount of dollars to weather the downturn and continue bottom-fishing afterward, or has it already seen risks that ordinary people haven’t realized yet?
If even the most aggressive BTC buyer starts keeping a backup plan, would you interpret it as an opportunity or a warning?
This is not investment advice.
#BTC #InstitutionalHoldings The good days for the three storage giants have officially entered the countdown.
Don't be fooled by any "domestic substitution" narrative. The real impact of Changxin going public is not that China can now make DRAM — it's that the "production cut to maintain prices" trick that's been running for thirty years can no longer be played.
How have Samsung, Hynix, and Micron made money over the past thirty years? Not through technology, but through tacit understanding. When the industry lagged, they cut capacity together, stabilized prices, and shared the profits. After all, there were only three players at the table, so no one had to worry about being undercut when cutting production.
Now a fourth player has taken a seat, and this player doesn't intend to follow the rules.
Changxin holds 58 billion in cash and is backed by the Hefei government. Do you think they will cooperate with you to protect profits? Don't be ridiculous. What they want is market share, to squeeze Samsung out of the Chinese mobile phone supply chain. Profits? That's a matter for later.
When the next DRAM winter comes and Samsung says it will cut capital expenditures, what will Changxin do? Expand production. Increase expansion. Because your retreat is their advance.
You think that's all? There's also AI stirring the pot.
HBM is too profitable; Samsung and Hynix have frantically shifted production lines over. Standard DRAM? Put that on hold. The result is that the supply of general-purpose memory has actually tightened. Changxin is laying eggs wildly in this gap. They don't compete with you in the high-end HBM market but focus on the mid-to-low-end market you can't afford to clean up.
By the time the three giants come to their senses, Changxin will have already built fortresses in your backyard.
This is great news for phone manufacturers and server makers. With an additional supplier, you have stronger bargaining power and no longer have to watch Samsung's face.
But if you hold stocks in Samsung or Hynix, please fasten your seatbelt. Four players are dividing one cake, and the newcomer simply doesn't care how much that cake sells for in the short term.
Changxin going public doesn't mean Chinese chips have won. It means a comfortable oligopoly club that has lasted thirty years now has a ruthless player who doesn't play by the script. $SKHYNIX 🌍 $LAB | Crypto Isn't Just Watching Charts—It's Watching Global Trade
While most traders are focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, one of the biggest macro stories is unfolding far from the crypto market.
Recent tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz have once again put global energy supply chains in the spotlight. The waterway remains one of the world's most important oil shipping routes, and proposals involving transit fees, alongside renewed geopolitical friction, have raised concerns about higher transport costs and supply disruptions—even though the original 20% fee proposal was later dropped in favour of trade and investment discussions.
Why does this matter for crypto?
⚡ Rising energy costs could fuel inflation.
🚢 More expensive shipping may increase pressure on global supply chains.
💵 Central banks could keep financial conditions tighter for longer.
📉 Risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, often face headwinds when liquidity becomes scarce.
In the short term, uncertainty may encourage investors to reduce exposure to volatile assets. But over the longer run, if inflation remains persistent and confidence in traditional financial systems weakens, digital assets such as Bitcoin could once again strengthen their appeal as alternative stores of value.
For $LAB, the key isn't just token-specific news—it's understanding how global macro events influence liquidity across the entire crypto market.
The next major move may not begin on a trading chart. It could start with the next headline from global energy markets.

#Ethereum #ERC20 #DeFi #Web3 $ETH $LINK $AAVE $UNIThe Korean index experienced its eighth circuit breaker this year, dropping over 8%. SK Hynix plunged over 10%, and Samsung Electronics fell over 9%. These two stocks account for nearly 60% of KOSPI's market value. If they collapse, the entire index will collapse as well. $SNDK $SKHYNIX Where is the problem? It's exactly the same logic as in the crypto world. Retail investors make up the majority of trading volume in the Korean stock market, and it's all high-leverage ETFs pushing in. Leveraged ETFs account for over 70% of daily trading volume. Whenever the stock price drops, it becomes a mechanical stampede—the more it falls, the more it sells, the more it falls, and the more it falls, unable to stop. $BTC Will BTC crash along with it? Let's start with the market surface. BTC just fell from above 65,000 to near 63,000, which is related to the Korean stock market circuit breaker, but it is not the main reason for its decline. You need to figure out the two transmission chains. The first is risk appetite resonance. When Korean stocks crash, Asia-Pacific markets panic, crypto assets, as high-risk assets, will be easily dumped. The second point is that Korean retail investors have contracted. South Korea is one of the world's top three crypto trading markets, and the domestic stock market crash has directly weakened their ammunition and courage to increase their holdings in the crypto sector. But what really pushed BTC down was something bigger. News of a US-Iran ceasefire has caused oil prices to plummet, and the market has repriced inflation and interest rate hike expectations. The Fed is set to announce its results on Thursday. Although the probability of a rate hike is low, Walsh's mouth is famously hawkish. Funds dare not gamble, so they want to withdraw first and see what happens. Short or Long? Sister Mutou explained things clearly. The Korean stock market circuit breaker issue is a short-term emotional drag on BTC, but it is not the decisive factor. The key is to focus on two positions: if 63,000 can't be held,Yesterday, $RESOLV unlocked another 3% of the supply, and each unlock usually means a 20% drop—should you leave?
1. Many people don't pay much attention to token unlocking, but it's actually the hidden killer behind long-term market sell-offs. RESOLV's unlock schedule starts at TGE on May 27, 2025, and ends on November 27, 2028, with the token unlocking on the 27th of each month, causing the token price to plummet.
2. Here's the data for everyone to look at: it opened at 4.4% on January 27, but dropped 50.2% in 14 days; On May 27, it unlocked 8.9%, dropping 29.7% in 11 days; On June 27, it was unlocked at 8.2%, but dropped 16.9% in four days.
3. Why does unlocking cause a sell-off? Because most of the unlocked tokens are given to institutions and insiders. These people have extremely low costs; unlocking is the shipping window. A large number of tokens flooded the market, buying couldn't hold up, and prices naturally fell.
4. Yesterday's unlock was all tokens from three parties: private investors (29.4%), insiders (28.3%), and the community (42.3%). It seems institutions and insiders are very likely to sell, so it's best to avoid them.🚨 The AI Memory Trade Just Got a Reality Check
The latest semiconductor selloff wasn't driven by collapsing earnings—it was driven by a shift in expectations.
Reports that China's domestic DUV lithography capabilities are advancing sparked a sharp repricing across the memory sector. Leveraged positions unwound fast, sending major chip names sharply lower.
📉 SK Hynix
📉 Samsung
📉 Kioxia
The market isn't saying China will dominate advanced memory overnight. It's pricing in the possibility that the long-term supply outlook could become more competitive.
For now, production volumes remain limited, and key hurdles—yields, advanced packaging, and customer qualification—still stand in the way. But markets discount the future, not the present.
The next catalysts to watch:
🔹 Progress in China's domestic DUV production
🔹 CXMT's yield and capacity ramp
🔹 SK Hynix's HBM4 pricing, demand, and guidance
My view? The immediate selloff may have gone too far, but the market is beginning to reassess the long-term valuation premium that AI memory leaders have enjoyed.
This isn't just another red day—it's a reminder that narratives can change long before fundamentals do.
Overreaction... or the beginning of a new semiconductor cycle?

At 10:13 a.m., the index's decline widened to 8.04%, triggering a first-level circuit breaker, and the entire main board market was suspended for 20 minutes. After trading resumed, the selling did not stop. As of 11:20 a.m., the KOSPI had fallen to 6,175.71 points, a decline of 8.59%. Compared to the historical high of 9,114.55 points set on June 22, it has retraced about 32% in just over a month. This is the eighth time the Korean stock market has triggered circuit breakers this year. KOSDAQ also fell as much as 6.54%. Samsung Electronics fell 9.84%, SK Hynix dropped 11.67%, Samsung Electro-Mechanics dropped 15.47%, LG Electronics fell 7.43%, and SK Telecom declined 16.04%. Yonhap News Agency intraday data suggests that the entire Korean market is declining, but in reality, semiconductors are still falling. More precisely, it was Samsung and SK Hynix, two super heavyweight stocks, that dragged the entire index down. At one point, the market value of Samsung and SK Hynix accounted for more than half of KOSPI's total market value. The rise in the Korean stock market over the past two years has essentially become more and more like a highly concentrated AI storage transaction. When both companies rose, the Korean stock market hit a new high; When two companies fall, the market can only have circuit breakers. Saying that the Korean stock market was completely smashed by SK Hynix alone is not rigorous. But it is indeed the most important thread in this round of decline. SK Hynix's decline is not due to earnings, but rather to expectations for SK Hynix's trading session todayWhat really matters in earnings season is not beating expectations
This week, major US tech giants are collectively entering earnings season, with Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Amazon all reporting their results. The market is currently most focused on whether revenue and EPS beat expectations, but I think what’s truly worth watching this time is a more practical question: When will the money poured into AI actually turn into profit?
Over the past two years, the market has been trading on a smooth logic: AI demand grows, giants increase capital expenditures, continue buying GPUs and building data centers, cloud business grows accordingly, and then the next AI rally continues. But now this logic is becoming increasingly expensive because almost all giants are ramping up AI investments. The higher the capital expenditure, the more optimistic the giants are about AI, but it also means the market’s expectations for future returns are rising.
So in this earnings season, I won’t just look at "who beat expectations again." For Microsoft and Google, the key is whether AI has actually converted into real enterprise payments and cloud business growth; for Meta, whether AI investments can truly improve advertising efficiency; for Amazon, whether the cloud business can absorb the continuously increasing AI infrastructure investments. Ultimately, everyone is spending money, but the key is who can earn that money back in the end.
I’m increasingly disliking the term "AI concept stocks." The real value isn’t how many times AI appears in the earnings report, but whether a complete chain can be formed: increased capital expenditure → AI business growth → profit improvement → free cash flow enhancement. If this chain starts to work, the AI rally still has upward momentum; if it’s just capital expenditure hitting new highs while profit and cash flow lag behind, the market will sooner or later reassess valuations.
Therefore, in this earnings season, what I personally care about most isn’t EPS but the relationship between capital expenditure and AI revenue. AI demand is very likely real, but the question is, after all giants start investing wildly, who will ultimately pocket the profits.
This might be the real watershed for the next phase of the AI rally.
When you look at earnings this time, are you more focused on profit beating expectations or AI capital expenditure?
#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 The Federal Reserve is set to announce its interest rate decision early Thursday morning, with the probability of a rate hike soaring from 10% two weeks ago to over 30% — I stared at the CME data for half an hour to confirm this isn’t a data delay; it’s Wall Street panicking first.
🎲 Let’s look at the data first: a 50-50 gamble
Currently, the federal funds rate is in the 3.5%-3.75% range, having held steady for four consecutive times. But this time it’s different:
· CME "FedWatch": 63.7% chance of no change, 36.3% chance of a 25 basis point hike
· Two weeks ago: only a 13% chance of a hike, now nearly tripled
· Citi trading team: calls this the biggest divergence since September 2024
· Former Kansas City Fed President George: directly says "50% chance no change, 50% chance hike"
Economists and traders are at odds — Bloomberg surveyed 76 economists, all expecting no change; but interest rate futures market bets on a 36% chance of a hike. The former bets on the most likely outcome, the latter prices in all possibilities.
🔥 Why has the call for a rate hike suddenly grown louder? Three words: oil, tariffs, debt
First, oil prices have gone crazy. On July 23, Brent crude closed at $100.69, up over 30% this month. US-Iran conflicts and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have sent energy prices soaring. Although US-Iran paused mutual attacks over the weekend and oil prices briefly dropped nearly 7%, the Fed looks at June inflation data, not intraday oil price fluctuations.
Second, tariffs are back. The US just imposed new import taxes of 10%-12.5% on 60 trading partners.
Third, the bond market is shouting "rate hike." The 2-year US Treasury yield closed at 4.33%, already above the Fed’s 3.75% rate ceiling. Bond traders are pricing in a higher interest rate environment ahead of time.
🛑 Why are the reasons for holding steady also strong?
Inflation is indeed cooling. June CPI fell from 4.2% to 3.5%. Evercore bluntly says: hiking rates immediately after improved inflation data "would seem very strange."
Rate hikes don’t solve the fundamental problem. DWS chief economist points out: hikes won’t ease overseas oil supply bottlenecks and will instead suppress the domestic real economy.
AI may bring deflation rather than inflation. Wash himself admits AI might increase demand short-term but is more likely to expand supply mid-term — a dovish stance.
🎭 The biggest wildcard: Wash’s "opaque style"
Current Fed Chair Kevin Wash and Powell are completely different. Powell likes to give the market clear expectations in advance; Wash wants to emulate Greenspan — making you guess.
Wash has repeatedly expressed hope for "frank and intense debate" within meetings. The June dot plot already shows: 9 members support hikes this year, 8 support no change, 1 supports a cut. Wash’s own stance remains unclear — his inclination directly determines the final outcome.
Add Trump shouting "cut rates" on the sidelines — praising Wash as "great" while saying "the US should have the world’s lowest rates." This drama is heating up.
🎯 So what should I do?
Bitcoin has already dropped to $63,500. The market is pricing in uncertainty ahead.
· Don’t bet on direction. A 36% chance of a hike is not small; betting wrong could mean a waterfall or a rocket.
· Wait for the result before acting. The decision comes at 2 AM Beijing time Thursday, with Wash’s press conference at 2:30 AM. Let the dust settle.
· Watch the wording. More important than the hike itself is what Wash says — hints about a September hike matter more than July.
I’m the guy who held from $10 to $17, then saw $17 drop to $5.5 and back to $17. I’ve seen many 50-50 situations like this — the bigger the divergence, the less you want to be on the front line.
Follow me, I won’t teach you to bet on direction, I’ll teach you to wait for the boots to drop before moving. Hit follow, so when the result comes out early tomorrow morning, at least someone is whispering in your ear — "Don’t rush in! Watch what Wash says first!"

#RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元 #Storj Labs申请Chapter 11破产重组，STORJ暴跌 #韩股重挫8%，长鑫首日登顶A股Real-time Market Overview: Impacted by external geopolitical news, the market plunged across the board today, with BTC and ETH both rapidly declining. Multiple major cryptocurrencies saw expanded losses, and over 160,000 people across the entire market faced liquidations within 24 hours. Panic sentiment spread quickly, with communities filled with voices of panic selling. A critical phenomenon in the market: during the sharp decline, polarization appeared. Some whale addresses transferred large amounts of tokens to exchanges, while another group was accumulating at low prices on-chain. The battle between bulls and bears is intense. 1. Surface catalysts for this decline: Disturbing news from the geopolitical situation caused market risk appetite to drop sharply. Funds collectively sought risk aversion, and the crypto market, as a high-risk asset, was sold off first; A large number of short-term longs had accumulated previously, and the market drop triggered a chain liquidation, accelerating the market downturn and forming a negative feedback loop; After a period of continuous sector rotation and hype, the market itself had a need for correction, with the news only acting as a fuse. 2. On-chain underlying truth: don’t be driven by panic to sell at a loss Whale behavior is highly polarized and not all are collectively bearish. On-chain data clearly shows: some large holders took advantage of the panic to deposit tokens to exchanges for sale; meanwhile, a group of long-term whales continuously withdrew tokens from exchanges to cold wallets to accumulate at low prices during the decline. There is a huge divergence of views among large holders during the sharp drop. Panic selling does not mean a complete trend reversal. This trigger is driven by external news, not a fundamental breakdown in the crypto industry itself. News-driven sharp drops often experience violent fluctuations, so it is premature to declare the bear market has fully returned.Semiconductor ETFs and tech stocks are showing a cluster of consistent long signals, with the market pricing in expectations of a rebound in AI hardware demand
Do these synchronized bullish signals fully reflect improved fundamentals, or do they more reflect the risk of capital congestion?
On the factual level, the original post listed long signals for 19 stocks/ETFs, covering semiconductor manufacturing (TSM, MU, INTC), devices (not listed by ASML but related), AI chips (NVDA, AMD), optical communications (AAOI, LITE), and leveraged ETFs (SOXL, DRAM). All instruments are rated high at 12.0-12.5/10, with stop-losses set about 2-4% below the entry price, and a risk-reward ratio of about 1.67:1. This pattern suggests that a systematic strategy is being executed simultaneously, rather than scattered signals based on individual stock analysis.
Why does this matter? From a cross-market transmission perspective, the signals of simultaneous long positions for these targets point to two key expectations: first, AI computing power investment continues to drive the semiconductor cycle; second, overall risk appetite for tech stocks is rebounding. If the signal holds, it will first strengthen the upward trend of the Nasdaq and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, then pass on risk premiums to the crypto market. BTC, as a high-beta asset, typically experiences capital spillover after improved risk appetite in tech stocks, while ETH and altcoin liquidity improvements require a longer lag time. The current signal density itself serves as a window for observation, but it is necessary to distinguish whether it is driven by real fundamentals or strategy crowding.
Upward path and conditions. If these long signals are based on fundamental factors such as the semiconductor inventory cycle bottoming out or higher expectations for AI capital expenditure, then a Nasdaq breaking its all-time high would trigger resistance before BTC tests its highs. The key validation signal is whether SOXL and SMH (semiconductor ETFs) can hold their recent highs on the weekly chart, and that NVDA's weekly trading volume cannot shrink. If these conditions are met, the crypto market may enter a risk-appetite-driven follow-up phase.
Short-sided risk and failure conditions. The greatest risk is that the signal itself may be a crowded trade caused by a strategic misjudgment. If these targets simultaneously trigger stop-loss losses (i.e., prices fall below their respective entry prices by 2-4%), a chain of stop-loss waves will form, amplifying the decline. In addition, the market has partially priced in optimistic AI expectations. If earnings guidance is revised downward during earnings season or macro data (such as nonfarm payrolls and CPI) turn bullish, these signals will quickly become ineffective. Tail risks include escalating semiconductor export controls or narrative shocks of AI investment returns falling short of expectations.
The conclusion is that these intensive long signals provide a framework for assessing risk appetite in tech stocks, but they do not inherently constitute independent trading grounds. The focus should be on confirming whether these signals are based on fundamental improvement, rather than strategy replication. If SOXL and NVDA both fall below their respective entry prices, it should be seen as a signal of a temporary shift in risk appetite. The risk lies in strategy crowding that may amplify volatility.
$BTC $ETH $SOXLJim Cramer spoke again, this time referring to Ohio's power supply. He said the U.S. government controls Ohio's power grid, effectively Nvidia's invisible insurance. It sounds pretty impressive, but after flipping through the $RENDER market, AI computing power concept coins collectively surged today. $RENDER jumped from 3.2 to 3.8, $FET rose 8 points, $AGIX slow but still moving. The flow of funds is very clear, not the kind of fake breakout volume. I stared at the 15-minute moving average for a long time. It didn't break through the 3.5 pullback point, so the support is quite strong. If this position holds, 4.0 should be around next week. But I didn't chase the high, and bought half a position around 3.7. Steady and steady, the crypto world is not short of opportunities; what is lacking is the composure to control one's actions. Back to Cramer's statement, I carefully read his original words twice. He wasn't predicting stock prices, but about a structural fact: data centers are like electricity tigers. The U.S. government locked in Ohio's energy supply, effectively putting a safety valve on AI computing power. When this news spread to the crypto world, the market immediately interpreted it as positive news for the computing power sector. After all, $RENDER, a decentralized rendering network, has underlying logic that aligns with NVIDIA's GPU ecosystem. When Nvidia rises, hash coins become restless, and this pattern hasn't changed over the past few years. But I was also thinking about another layer. If the great power rivalry really escalates and the US firmly holds the dominance in energy, then decentralized computing power will actually have more narrative value. The grid cannot be controlled by only one party, nor can AI infrastructure be decided by only one party. Web3 computing power network📉 $MU: Buying the Dip Ahead of the Fed?
I added to my $MU (Micron) position after today's selloff.
The recent weakness appears to be driven by a mix of panic surrounding China's memory sector developments and growing speculation ahead of this week's FOMC decision. Markets are reacting to uncertainty more than confirmed fundamentals.
My view:
- Current economic data doesn't strongly support a rate hike.
- If the Fed sticks to its data-dependent approach, holding rates steady would be the more consistent outcome.
- Rising oil prices are worth watching, but they may not be enough on their own to justify tighter policy.
I'm positioning for no rate hike this meeting, with any potential move more likely to come later if inflation pressures reaccelerate.
For Micron ($MU), the long-term AI and memory demand story remains intact, even if short-term volatility continues.
Risk management comes first—if key support fails, the thesis changes.

#FOMC #FederalReserve #Micron #AI #Semiconductors $MU#韩股重挫8%, Changxin topped the A-share market on its first day
Why did $BTC and $ETH plunge simultaneously?
Today, the market saw a clear risk release.
The Korean stock market plunged 8% in a single day, putting selling pressure on the technology sector, while Changxin Technology's market value surpassed 3 trillion yuan on its first day of listing, becoming the focus of A-share tech stocks.
At the same time, the crypto world experienced intense volatility, with BTC and ETH falling simultaneously.
Many people wonder:
Why will the listing of the Korean stock market and Chinese storage companies affect Bitcoin and Ethereum?
In fact, the underlying logic is the same — global venture capital is readjusting its positioning.
In recent years, AI, semiconductors, and crypto assets have all been highly elastic directions pursued by capital.
The Korean market relies on Samsung and $SKHYNIX SK Hynix, holding an important position in the HBM and AI storage industry chain.
But when the market begins to worry that AI industry valuations are too high or that capital is taking profits, the first to be affected are often the technology growth assets.
BTC and ETH are essentially global liquidity trading instruments.
When US tech stocks and Asian tech stocks experience sharp volatility, institutional funds tend to reduce risk exposure and sell some highly volatile assets, putting pressure on the crypto market simultaneously.
In the short term:
BTC is currently more influenced by macro sentiment.
If global tech stocks continue to adjust, BTC may keep testing support below.
ETH is even more sensitive, as Ethereum is not only the second-largest asset in the crypto market but also carries the expectations of DeFi, Layer2, and other ecosystems.
Once market risk appetite declines, ETH outflow pressure is usually more pronounced than BTC.
But in the long run:
This decline may not necessarily mean the AI and crypto trends are over.
Changxin's listing represents a changing global competitive landscape in the storage industry, with ongoing demand for AI infrastructure.
The long-term value of BTC and ETH still depends on institutional capital inflows, global liquidity conditions, and blockchain application growth.
Every major market drop is essentially a reordering of funds.
In the short term, funds are seeking safe havens;
In the long run, assets with real industrial value and capital recognition will still remain.
Currently, attention should be paid to:
Can BTC hold key support areas;
Whether ETH is experiencing renewed capital inflows;
Will the AI+Crypto sector stabilize along with tech stocks?
This round of market trends will not focus solely on individual news but will focus on global capital flows.
Tech stocks, AI, and the crypto market are essentially undergoing the same liquidity test. ## Market Overview
- BTC $63,203，24h -3.17%
- Fear Index: 29
- Contract funding rate -0.0016% (neutral to bearish)
- OI 106,200 BTC
- OKX Market: 1 gain, 13 down
## What exactly is he panicking about?
From the data, the market is staging a "quiet suicide."
**97% reduction in 24-hour volume. ** This is no longer an explanation for poor weekend liquidity. BTC's price fell from 66,500 to 63,300, accompanied by buying evaporation rather than a sharp increase in selling. This is a market without buyers.
**Rates will turn negative but not extreme. ** Usually, the panic bottom saw negative rates above -0.01% (short sellers opened positions to buy the rebound), now it's -0.0016%—almost indifferent. This shows that the Air Force lacks confidence and both sides are watching and waiting.
**1 up 13 down. ** Only one token on OKX is green. AEON rose 84%, but the liquidity pool only holds a few hundred million USD, so it doesn't constitute a turning point in sentiment.
## My Judgment
This is not the "one-time deleveraging" bottom at the end of June, which had explosive withdrawals and rapid resets. Now it's more like the first half of "boiling a frog in warm water"—no one has cried out in pain yet, but the bottom of the pot is already heating up.
Watch two signals: the Fear Index breaking below 20 or ETH showing a high-volume sideways movement lasting more than 3 hours at a key level. If either of these two conditions is met, I will reconsider my entry logic.
The best strategy now: keep your hands and feet still and your hands on the keyboard.
— Written on the morning of July 28, no one knows what the market is waiting for, but silence is more dangerous than noise.1. Current Situation: You Are Betting on a "50-50" Game At 2:00 AM Beijing Time on July 30, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. CME data shows a rate hike probability of about 38%, with a steady rate of about 62%. Citigroup bluntly stated that this is the most divergence in the market since September 2024, approaching a "50-50" split. As of July 28, Bitcoin$BTC had fallen 2.53%, Ethereum $ETH had dropped 3.22%, and over 150,000 people were liquidated in 24 hours across the network. BTC plunged rapidly from $65,740 to around $63,000, with long positions liquidated exceeding $280 million in a single hour. Those who liquidate are not unaware of the risks, but they underestimate the destructive power of "uncertainty." 2. Three scenarios, three completely different outcomes Scenario One: Unexpected rate hikes (probability ~38%) This is the crypto world's most feared "black swan." Rate hikes mean higher borrowing costs, a stronger dollar, and higher US Treasury yields. As a highly resilient risk asset, Bitcoin will be directly under pressure. Scenario 2: Maintain the status quo + hawkish speech (most probable) This is a "boiling frog" type of negative headwind. What the market really focuses on is not "whether to raise interest rates," but Walsh's wording. If he says "inflation risks are still on the rise" or hints at a rate hike in September (currently over 55% probability), the market will reprice—and the market will remain under pressure. Most economists believe the probability of a rate hike later in 2026 is high. Scenario 3: Hold the level + dovish signals (lowest probability) If Wash admits inflation is slowingBrothers, SK Hynix's ADR fell 3.12% today, now at $137.45, below the IPO price of $149. In its first week after listing, it peaked at $194.8, and has since pulled back more than 29% from its peak. South Korea also plunged domestically, with SK Hynix's shares dropping over 8.6% today and KOSPI down over 6%. Triple pressure: ADR premium has steadily faded from 26%, and arbitrage positions continue to suppress prices; AI hardware sector collective valuation corrections (SanDisk down 11%, Micron down 7%); The market questions whether hundreds of billions of dollars invested in AI can be converted into profits. Key price levels: Resistance $145-$149 (IPO offering price has become a strong resistance), support at $137 (if it fails, $130-135).

The IPO of Changxin Technology officially brings China's DRAM into the global capital market pricing system.
On the same day, the Korean KOSPI triggered a circuit breaker during trading, with memory stocks like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics plummeting, and US stocks such as Corning, SanDisk, and Micron in the AI industry chain also weakening simultaneously.
Many attribute the cause to Changxin's IPO, but it's not that simple; the listing of Changxin Technology is just the fuse.
Currently, Changxin mainly focuses on DRAM and has not yet achieved large-scale mass production capability for HBM in the short term.
HBM, as the highest-profit and highest-technical-barrier high-end DRAM in the AI era, is still led globally by SK Hynix.
SK Hynix's true core competitiveness has not changed in the short term.
The main reason is that the memory sector's gains over the past year have been too large and valuations too high, so any slight disturbance leads to concentrated profit-taking.
Additionally, the market is reassessing the future global DRAM competitive landscape, domestic semiconductor breakthroughs continue, and with the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates for a long time and expectations of rate hikes still existing in September, liquidity remains tight, all of which amplify this round of selling pressure.
