The Federal Reserve interest rate decision overlaps with tech giants' earnings reports, and the risk asset tone depends on whether the giants' AI capital expenditures under high valuation and high positions can deliver profit growth.
Currently, cross-asset positions are highly concentrated in hardware and cloud computing leaders such as $NVDA, $MSFT, and $META. The dual catalysts of the Fed's rate decision and earnings reports are compressing liquidity premiums. Infrastructure construction and data center expansion consume massive capital, and market risk appetite is extremely sensitive to the scissors gap between capital expenditures and profit growth.
The priority order driving the trading landscape is: the degree to which AI capital expenditures squeeze short-term profits, changes in risk-free rates triggered by the Fed's rate guidance, and the transmission of risk appetite to peripheral high-beta assets.
The upside scenario triggers if $NVDA and the data center industry chain's profit growth outpaces infrastructure spending growth, and the Fed signals a dovish stance. Funds will return to high-beta tech stocks and the crypto market. Variables to watch include cloud computing division profit margins and the speed of net inflows of risk capital. If capital expenditure growth exceeds earnings, the scenario fails.
The downside scenario triggers if tech giants' free cash flow is eroded by massive hardware investments, earnings guidance falls short of expectations, and the Fed maintains a hawkish stance. Rising risk-free rates will directly squeeze high-valuation sectors, prompting rapid deleveraging of long positions and a shift toward defensive assets. If the giants' AI monetization cycle shortens beyond expectations, the downside scenario fails.
If the market completely ignores earnings capital expenditure growth and is driven solely by the Fed's unilateral liquidity expectations, the above earnings-based transmission logic fails.
Key observations for the coming week include changes in tech giants' data center spending guidance, the yield curve movement after the Fed decision, and cross-market linkages caused by long position liquidations.

#美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议"There's a teacher in my group who always raises orders every time he calls for a higher price"—why are you always the last one to know?
The "trading teachers" in the crypto circle have a set of standard operating procedures.
First layer: Build your own position first. Layer two: "revealing" internal information in small groups. Third layer: Group members rush in with FOMO to pump the market. Fourth layer: Screenshot and show off earnings to attract more people. Fifth level: Shipping.
The "price rises after shouting" you see is because you happen to be on the third floor. You will never see the first two floors.
Even more ironically—many "teachers" don't need to secretly build positions at all. They directly tell you, "I bought XX," then you rush in to carry the sedan chair. Your buying is his profit.
Remember one iron rule: information that truly makes money will never appear for free in your TG group. If someone chases you to tell you "this coin is going to fly," ask yourself a question—why would they tell you?
Ask me how I know? My tears will tell you the answer......#交易之声 your experience deserves to be heard On July 27, the downtrend continued from the previous day, weakening for four consecutive trading days, completely breaking below the key support level of 1500. The short-term bullish trend completely reversed, with a complete breakout below 1450, signaling a disastrous crash. Institutional funds: Long-term bulls are collectively reducing positions, hedge funds continue to increase short positions; Large sell orders flowed out continuously throughout the day, with institutional holdings showing net sales exceeding 1.2 billion USD for three consecutive days. On July 24, after the market closed, the company lowered its revenue and gross margin guidance for the next quarter, clearly warning that NAND flash prices are about to enter a downward trajectory, breaking the market's unanimous expectation of "AI continuing to drive flash memory prices." Institutional estimates suggest that if the average price of flash memory drops by 10%, SanDisk's gross margin will drop by 12 percentage points, posing a significant downward risk of earnings revisions; Previously, the annual surge completely overwhelmed expectations for price increases, and after negative news materialized, funds concentrated and forced them to flee. Samsung and SK Hynix are accelerating the construction of advanced NAND production lines above 300 layers, launching new capacity ahead of schedule. The market predicts a significant surge in NAND supply in 2027, replicating the memory industry's classic cycle of "price hikes - expansion - price crashes." SanDisk's business focuses solely on NAND flash memory, without hedged HDD or HBM business cycles. Compared to Samsung and Micron, which have a single business structure, funds prioritize selling SanDisk stocks due to expectations of overcapacity. Leading cloud providers have launched memory compression and KV Cache optimization solutions, and AI inference scenarios have lowered the incremental demand for large-capacity SSD flash memory; At the same time, the three major storage manufacturers prioritized advanced production capacity for high-margin HBM memory, driving growth in enterprise-level SSD ordersAI valuation logic has shifted from "narrative premium" to the "return verification" stage
Is the crypto market undergoing a "vision to earnings" repricing reevaluation similar to tech stocks?
On the factual side, both Alphabet and Tesla's latest earnings reports showed revenue exceeding expectations, with Google Cloud growing 82% year-on-year, but both companies' stock prices fell after the release. The core disagreement is not in current performance, but in the raised AI capital expenditure guidance from both companies. The market no longer sees AI investment as a growth signal, but rather as a cost item not yet covered by revenue. This logic has been transmitted through the semiconductor sector this week, with AI narratives stress-tested from the demand side.
For the crypto market, this event provides a clear valuation mirror: when the market shifts from "believing the story" to "demanding evidence," any asset class that relies on narrative rather than cash flow faces a contraction in its pricing structure. BTC's current price performance near 64K reflects the sentiment of this "ROI anxiety" spilling over from tech stocks to overall risk assets.
In terms of capital behavior, three types of funds need to be distinguished:
- Real demand funds: Mainly institutional compliance allocation and on-chain stablecoin settlements. These funds are less sensitive to short-term narrative shifts and focus more on macro interest rate paths and regulatory clarity. Currently, there are no large-scale withdrawal signals.
- Passive allocation of funds: such as ETF liquidity and index rebalancing funds, which are less affected by sentiment fluctuations in tech stocks, but may indirectly reduce crypto asset allocation by lowering overall risk exposure during systemic risk appetite contraction.
- Short-term speculative funds: This is currently the most affected type of capital. The cooling of the AI narrative has led to higher risk premiums for tech growth stocks, with speculative funds more inclined to withdraw high-beta assets in cross-asset comparisons, with the crypto market bearing the brunt. If this sentiment persists, altcoins, especially tokens related to AI concepts, will face greater selling pressure.
Transmission path: Tech stock valuation logic shifts -> Shrinking cross-asset risk appetite -> Speculative capital outflows BTC/altcoins -> Liquidity concentrated in BTC and stablecoins -> ETH and altcoins are relatively weaker than BTC.
Biased multi-sided path: If future tech companies' earnings reports can clearly show AI revenue conversion paths, or if macro data unexpectedly turns dovish, risk appetite recovery will first flow back into BTC, then gradually spread to mainstream altcoins.
Bearish risk: If more tech companies raise capital expenditures but lack revenue support, the market's pricing of the "negative return narrative" will deepen. If BTC breaks below the key support at 62K, it could trigger stop-loss selling by short-term speculative funds.
Conclusion: AI capital expenditure shifting from "vision" to "cost" marks a structural shift in the current pricing logic for risk assets. In the short term, the crypto market remains suppressed by this sentiment spillover until macro or on-chain data provides a new pricing anchor.
Risk Warning: The above is only market logic analysis and does not constitute any trading advice.
$BTC $ETH #AIEarnings #CryptoMacroA month ago, I said $SPCX could fall by around 50%. That move has now happened. But I still don't believe the bottom is in. The next major catalyst is approaching: 📅 Share unlocks begin August 11. 📊 Around 20% of shares could enter the market during the unlock period. ⚠️ Only approximately 5% of total shares are currently in circulation. That creates a major supply overhang. When a large amount of previously locked shares becomes eligible to enter the market, selling pressure can increase sign#美军暂停对伊空袭, international oil prices opened sharply lower
After three days of ceasefire, the market changed
The U.S. and Iran paused their fights for three consecutive days, and Trump took the initiative to withdraw, saying it was to "leave some room for negotiations."
Iran responded: If you don't fight, then I won't. Both sides took a step back, and the Middle East finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Oil prices fell back in response, with Brent crude $BZ dropping from above $100 to $86.34, plunging 5.82% in a single day; WTI crude $CL also fell below the $85 mark, with both major benchmarks weakening simultaneously. Inflation concerns have temporarily eased, but oil prices are like springs—the harder they are pressed, the fiercer the rebound, provided no more surprises occur.
Global assets fluctuated accordingly. $BTC rebounded strongly from $63,800 and is currently holding steady above $65,200. The crypto market has always been sensitive to geopolitical risks: a ceasefire brings breathing room, and capital returns to risky assets; But the ceasefire agreement was unsigned, without constraints, fragile like a window paper.
The $XAU side for gold is even more interesting: with cooling in geopolitical climate and a stronger dollar, gold prices have pulled back from highs, with obvious short-term selling pressure. Market divisions are also intensifying: some think gold's recent rally is too aggressive and it's time to take a break; Some people treat pullbacks as reversing and taking over, betting on future uncertainty. After all, no one dares to say the Middle East game is over.
I believe the next focus should be on three key points: the movements of the U.S. carrier strike group, the status of tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and whether Iran's uranium enrichment activities will resume. Any disturbance causes oil prices to jump immediately, and BTC and gold quickly follow the safe-haven rhythm.
In the short term, the ceasefire has brought some relief to the market, with oil prices under pressure, BTC taking a breather, and gold oscillating at high levels. But more likely, it was a delaying tactic—both sides were resupplying ammunition and gathering chips. The energy game took a halftime break, but the final whistle was far from over.
For us, right now, don't chase the rise or sell the dip; keep your positions well and keep plenty of ammunition. If peace really comes, oil prices will still fall; If he feigned a spear, the next wave would only be fiercer.$BTC Spot ETFs saw inflows of $33.79 million last week, while $ETH spot ETFs saw inflows of $104 million. ETH ETFs attract three times as much as BTC.
The Fear and Greed Index is 39 (fear), but ETF funds continue to flow in—institutions buy in fear, retail investors wait and see in fear.
ETH capital inflows led significantly, and with ETH rising 4.23% in a single day, the signal of capital rotation was confirmed. When ETH ETF inflows consistently exceed BTC, it is often a precursor to the altcoin season.
Historical pattern: ETF inflows + low fear index = medium-term positioning window. But it needs to be confirmed with increased volume.
#BTC #ETH #比特币 #以太坊 #ETFGuys, today's news is worth pausing to read for three seconds. Let's look at the data first: Strategy (Bitcoin's largest treasury): Holdings: 843,775 BTC Average cost: $75,476 per coin Current floating loss: $8.85 billion (-13.9%) Cash reserves: $3.75 billion, enough to pay 25 months of interest Recent status: Suspended Bitcoin holdings for one month, recently sold 3,588 BTC to cash out $216 million Bitmine (Ethereum largest treasury): Holdings: 5,787,414 ETH Average cost: $3,373 per coin Current unrealized loss: $8.247 billion (-42.2%) Staked: About 4.917 million ETH staked Recent status: Last week still bought 9,946 ETH at $1,897 What does this mean? The two most stubborn bulls—one paused buying, the other kept buying. Strategy's floating loss ratio is relatively smaller (-13.9%), but it has stopped buying and selling coins to cash out and pay interest. Bitmine lost even more deeply (-42.2%) but is still increasing its positions against the trend. When the biggest bulls start to pause and catch their breath, is it a bottom signal, or is a bigger storm still ahead? When even the most determined people start to waver, do you choose to trust the power of cycles, or follow the trend? This $17.1 billion unrealized loss is the faith these two companies bought with real money. But is it worth it?Shein准备上市，季度利润从赚3.95亿美元变成亏9900万美元
长鑫存储上市首日暴涨后，港股又迎来一个超级IPO热点：Shein。
这家公司曾经被视为中国跨境电商最成功的样本之一，2025年收入仍增长约8%，达到418亿美元。但净利润却下降39%，来到20.6亿美元。到了2026年第一季度，公司更是录得9900万美元亏损，而去年同期还赚了3.95亿美元。
增长还在，利润却突然变脸，核心原因来自关税。
美国取消小额包裹免税政策后，Shein低价直邮模式的成本优势被明显削弱。美国业务收入同比下降，欧洲也可能增加进口费用，而美国与欧洲合计贡献了公司超过一半的收入。
这也是Shein上市最矛盾的地方。
市场曾把它当成一家高增长科技平台，愿意给予接近千亿美元的估值；但现在它越来越像一家需要承担库存、物流、关税和营销费用的传统零售公司。
Shein目前寻求的估值据报道约为400亿至500亿美元。问题是，公司一季度经营利润率已经降至约2.5%，如果关税继续侵蚀利润，这个估值到底应该按照科技平台算，还是按照普通服装零售商算？
对于港股打新投资者来说，Shein的品牌知名度和市场关注度肯定不缺，真正需要警惕的是发行估值。
热门公司不等于好价格。
如果上市定价仍然建立在高速增长和高利润率恢复的前提上，首日情绪可能很热，后续却要面对盈利数据的持续验证。
一句话总结：
Shein这次上市卖的不是一件便宜衣服，而是一个并不便宜的增长故事。公司能不能上市不难，难的是用现在的利润撑住400亿至500亿美元估值。$ETH $BTC $SHIB Global Macro Guidance for July 27 - August 2: De-escalation of US-Iran tensions, US stock earnings as the main theme, economy and AI profits become two key validation chains!
This Week's Theme:
The US-Iran situation enters a turning and easing period, tension de-escalates, conventional games enter conventional play. AI enters the "earnings redemption week," the Federal Reserve enters a silent period, rate cut data will determine the pace of rate cuts, and global liquidity enters a fundamental trading mode!
1. The only main theme this week: US stock Q2 earnings, is AI really worth this valuation!
Focus on earnings this week: Microsoft, META, Apple, Amazon, Qualcomm, SK Hynix, and Samsung earnings reports will be released, representing key sectors of the AI industry chain including cloud computing, AI applications, consumer electronics, semiconductor design, storage, and wafer manufacturing. This will be the most critical week of the Q2 earnings season.
These companies basically represent half of the AI industry chain, and their earnings reports will trigger a key valuation adjustment for the entire AI ecosystem.
In the past six months, the market traded on AI's future; now, the market trades on AI profits. This is the biggest change in the AI ecosystem for Q2. At the same time, corporate earnings reports are an important risk market validation chain this week and a core of fundamental trading.
Earnings release schedule:
Thursday morning: SK Hynix earnings, before the Korean market opens
Thursday early morning: Microsoft, Meta, after US market close
Friday morning: Samsung Electronics, before Korean market opens
Friday early morning: Apple, Amazon, Qualcomm, after US market close, Coinbase
2. Two validations: economic data to verify the Federal Reserve's rate decisions and current rate environment; earnings + economic growth to verify corporate investment confidence and AI return rate.
1. Macro data gradually validates AI valuation and interest rate environment
On Wednesday, July 29, the US second-quarter GDP preliminary estimate will show economic resilience, affecting subsequent interest rates and whether the current economy can validate AI valuation. High GDP growth may not benefit US stocks but could suppress rate cut space. The worst combination is strong GDP and high PCE with average earnings guidance, which will cause confidence in the US stock AI sector to decline.
Early morning July 30: Federal Reserve rate decision and Chair Powell's press conference. Rates are likely to remain unchanged. Focus on whether Powell's press conference and meeting minutes re-emphasize inflation risks, clarify that future policy has no preset path, or reserve space for a September rate hike or prolonged high rates.
Evening July 30: June PCE and core PCE. June CPI core inflation declined, easing market inflation concerns. However, recent energy price rebounds make it critical to see if June PCE further strengthens confidence in core inflation decline. If core PCE inflation remains sticky, short-term inflation and future inflation expectations concerns will increase, which is unfavorable for rate cuts and suppresses risk markets.
Morning July 31: Bank of Japan rate decision. The yen has been frequently volatile recently. Whether the BOJ will further raise rates will determine yen movement, US-Japan interest rate differentials, and financial market liquidity.
2. Energy prices + PCE inflation data + Fed stance + US Treasury yields + tech stock valuations form this week's macro pricing logic. GDP + PCE validate rate expectations; GDP and earnings validate whether US economic resilience can support AI market valuations.
3. Macro, geopolitical, and central bank transmission chain:
1. Energy affects inflation, which affects central banks. Geopolitical situations determine oil prices, oil prices guide inflation expectations, and inflation expectations change the rate adjustment attitudes of the US and global central banks.
2. This week, US-Iran tensions ease and de-escalate, so it is no longer the main theme. However, energy price fluctuations still impact important market expectations. Continued oil price rises or falls this week will directly affect rate market dynamic expectations.
Summary of this chapter:
After this week, we want to get three validation answers:
a. Do inflation and growth data strengthen or weaken high rate expectations?
b. Does tech corporate profit growth outpace capital expenditure growth?
c. Which dominates: rate pressure or profit improvement?
This week is a complex dual pricing week of policy and AI earnings fundamentals, especially for US stocks. Macro determines the ceiling, earnings determine the profit floor, and the industry chain determines structural differentiation.
Therefore, in this complex environment, global assets such as US Treasuries sensitive to rates, gold and the US dollar, US stocks sensitive to earnings, and #Bitcoin sensitive to both rates and risk appetite will face a high volatility risk environment.
Personal advice: observe more and validate more this week. Try not to make key decisions before all data validations are complete! #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议
PS: Further observations on this week's corporate earnings will be added later! Since US stocks have entered a structural differentiation validation phase, earnings reports should not only be judged by whether they meet overall expectations. For the AI industry chain, one earnings report determines the overall volatility of upstream and downstream companies!📊 $XRP Liquidation Overview
$1.9195 million liquidated in 24 hours, with short liquidations at $1.0071 million accounting for 52.5% of the total, and long liquidations at $912,500, nearly balanced between longs and shorts. In the first 12 hours, long liquidations overwhelmed shorts (longs accounted for 95% in 1 hour, 98.5% in 4 hours), with prices continuously squeezing longs; however, in the 12-hour period, short liquidations of $480,100 began to surpass longs (38%), triggering a short squeeze; ultimately, shorts narrowly won in 24 hours. Liquidations concentrated in the 12-hour period (65.9%), with an increase of about $655,000 in the latter 12 hours, intensifying the long-short battle in the second half.
In summary: $XRP saw a long-short reversal in 24 hours, with shorts winning by a slight 52.5% margin, shifting the direction from long liquidation to short squeeze.
🔥 Market Indicator | July 27
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: AI narrative entering the "validation season"—from the valuation frenzy of domestic storage, to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, to the earnings tests of tech giants, the market is re-evaluating whether the high investment model in AI can deliver high returns.
📈 ChangXin Technology IPO: The "Domestic Substitution" Frenzy with a 3.66 Trillion Market Cap
On July 27, domestic DRAM leader ChangXin Technology officially listed on the STAR Market, with an issue price of ¥8.66/share, surging 471.59% at open, and a market cap briefly surpassing ¥3.66 trillion, overtaking ICBC as the largest A-share market cap. The IPO raised ¥66.6 billion, the largest since the STAR Market's inception. ChangXin expects net profit over ¥50 billion in the first half, with global market share rising from 3% to 8%. However, controversy is significant: SK Hynix's quarterly revenue is more than three times ChangXin's half-year revenue; technologically, it still lags about two generations and three years behind US and Korean giants. Whether the ¥3.66 trillion market cap marks the start of a super cycle or a peak moment is sharply debated. After ChangXin's listing, a clear capital siphoning effect appeared, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each dropping about 4% intraday.
🏛️ Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision Early Thursday: Rate Hike Expectations Stirring
The biggest macro variable this week—the Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting from July 28 to 29. Economists almost unanimously expect no change, but interest rate futures market prices in a 36% chance of a rate hike. The divergence stems from oil prices—Brent crude has surpassed $100/barrel, with US-Iran conflicts raising geopolitical risk premiums, plus tariffs and massive AI spending, inflation pressures are rising again. This is Fed Chair Waller's second meeting; whether it will stage an "unexpected rate hike" will be revealed early Thursday.
📊 Microsoft, Meta, Amazon Earnings: AI "Burning Money" Model Under Scrutiny
This week Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon released earnings, with market focus aligned: can massive AI capital expenditures translate into real revenue? Whether Microsoft Azure can maintain growth above 40% is key. Meta raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $125-145 billion, questioning if AI investment erodes ad profits. Amazon AWS growth is expected to exceed 30% for the first time since 2022. Google and Tesla have already sounded alarms with their first-ever negative cash flow—AI is burning faster than expected.
💎 Summary
Three events outline the core market contradictions today: ChangXin Technology's ¥3.66 trillion market cap is an extreme valuation of "domestic substitution + AI demand"; the Fed's rate decision is a tense game over "whether inflation will return"; tech giants' earnings are the ultimate test of "whether AI spending can be profitable." Valuation frenzy, policy shifts, and earnings validation mark the AI narrative's transition from "storytelling" to "answering the test." #长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量

#财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊能稳住AI叙事吗？ 📈 Daily Market Brief | 2026.07.27 (Monday)
📌 In short
Risk asset sentiment clearly warmed today, mainly driven by the suspension of further military actions by the US and Iran, a sharp drop in crude oil, and Changxin Technology's strong performance on its first day of listing.
However, this is only the beginning of the "Super Week." The real decision for the next phase remains the Federal Reserve meeting and the earnings reports from the four tech giants.
📊 A quick overview of today's market trends
Continuing data from the 10 a.m. briefing:
$BTC: About $65,144, up about 1.1% in 24 hours
$ETH: Approximately $1,625
$HYPE: Approximately $63.35
Gold: approximately $4,108 per ounce
Brent crude oil: about $92.8, down more than 4%
U.S. 10-year Treasury yield: approximately 4.63%
The most obvious change in the market today is that the decline in crude oil prices has temporarily eased inflation and rate hike pressure, with funds flowing back into risk assets.
🔥 Today's Most Noteworthy (Top 5)
(1) Changxin Technology goes public, market pricing exceeds expectations
Fact:
Changxin Technology officially listed on the STAR Market today:
Issue price: 8.66 yuan
Opening price: 49.50 yuan
Opening gain: approximately 471.6%
Closing price up about 465.8% from the issue price
The turnover on the first day was approximately 141.1 billion yuan
Changxin Technology performed exceptionally well on its first day, directly boosting sentiment in the STAR Market and semiconductor sectors.
My analysis:
Yesterday, we were concerned that the real price of Changxin A-shares after listing may be far lower than the perpetual CXMT Pre-IPO on HYPE, leading to a rapid decline in contracts.
Today's result was the opposite: the A-share market offered a high price, basically confirming the previously high expectations of the HYPE market.
This indicates that the pre-IPO market on Hyperliquid already has some price discovery capability, but the price gap between A-shares and CXMT perpetual cannot be interpreted as risk-free arbitrage, because there is still the following:
Oracle switching speed
Changes in the RMB exchange rate
A-share market closure time difference
Funding rate
Liquidity and liquidation risk
Changxin's first day of rise does not mean the logic of Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung, and SanDisk has ended. In the short term, the competitive landscape is repricing; in the long term, it depends on whether AI servers and data centers can continue to drive DRAM and HBM demand.
(2) Crude oil plunges, giving risk assets a temporary breather
The US and Iran have not launched new military strikes for two consecutive days, prompting markets to re-bet on diplomatic easing. Brent crude oil has retreated significantly after briefly breaking through $100 last week; The September contract once fell about 4.9% to near $92.
A drop in oil prices means:
Secondary inflationary pressures have decreased
Pressure on U.S. Treasury yields eased
Expectations for further Fed rate hikes have cooled
Tech stocks and cryptocurrency valuations are gaining support
But this is only a temporary withdrawal of geopolitical risk premiums, and does not mean the conflict is over.
If US-Iran negotiations break down again, or if shipping in the Strait of Hormuz continues to be disrupted, oil prices could still rebound rapidly.
(3) BTC, ETH, and HYPE: Rebounds are worth watching, but not worth chasing
BTC returned to around $65,000 today, mainly benefiting from falling oil prices and a recovery in risk appetite.
However, this week the Fed and tech stocks have been intensively releasing earnings reports and macro data, so chasing the rally right now is not cost-effective.
Key BTC Insights:
Can the $64,200–$65,500 range be effectively broken
Will there be volume support after the breakout?
If it falls back into the range again, it is necessary to guard against a false breakout
ETH：
For now, it continues to follow BTC and tech stock sentiment, with no clear independent trend yet seen.
HYPE：
HYPE remains a highly elastic target I have been following for a long time. CXMT's IPO performance today once again proves that Hyperliquid is gradually expanding from a simple cryptocurrency trading platform to traditional asset, commodity, and pre-IPO markets.
However, this week HYPE was affected by BTC, tech stock sentiment, and CXMT contract pricing, with volatility likely to be significantly higher than BTC, so positions should not be overweight.
(4) The Fed enters the most critical pricing window
The Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting from July 28 to 29, with policy results expected to be announced in the early hours of Thursday Beijing time.
This time, the market's focus is not just on whether interest rates will change, but more importantly on how the Federal Reserve assesses:
Secondary inflation caused by rising crude oil prices
US Treasury yields remain high
Is there still a possibility of rate hikes in the future?
The impact of AI data center investments on the economy, energy, and financing needs
Today's drop in oil prices is positive for the market, but a single day of pullback is not enough to prompt the Fed to immediately turn dovish.
(5) Tech giants' earnings will determine whether the AI main theme can continue
Microsoft and Meta will release earnings after the U.S. market closed on Wednesday; Apple and Amazon will release their earnings reports after Thursday's market close. Microsoft and Meta have confirmed the relevant arrangements on their official investor pages.
What the market is truly concerned about this time is:
Will AI capital spending continue to grow?
Can cloud computing and advertising revenue cover the huge investment?
Will management lower its guidance for future investments or revenue?
For Micron, SanDisk, SK Hynix, Samsung, and Changxin Technology, the AI capital expenditure guidance from tech giants is even more important than short-term stock price fluctuations.
🟡 Gold and silver
Gold today was supported by falling oil prices and falling U.S. Treasury yields, but may still fluctuate around $4,100.
Previously, gold had already broken through the daily downtrend line and pulled back. As long as the trendline structure does not break below again, a medium-term bullish observation can still be maintained.
Silver continues to follow sentiment toward gold and industrial metals, but volatility is generally higher than gold's, making it currently not suitable to chase gains in the middle of the range.

把 ETH 當成組合的一部分，預先寫好最大倉位和退出條件；市場沒有給出確認前，保留現金本身也是一種選擇。
我會把這個話題拆成三層來看。第一層是可以直接觀察的數據，先記錄數值、時間和方向，避免只截一張圖就下結論；第二層是市場如何反應，數據改善但價格不動，和數據轉弱而價格仍然上漲，含義完全不同；第三層才是自己的操作，先寫下最大可承受損失，再決定是否需要調整倉位。這個順序看起來慢，但能減少被單一標題帶著走。
對我來說，主網使用、L2 活躍度和資金流要放在同一張表裡對照。每次更新只改變有新證據的部分，不能因為一個數字變化就把整個判斷翻轉。若三個觀察方向彼此矛盾，我會把結論降級為「等待確認」，而不是硬湊出一個看多或看空的故事。市場中最容易被忽略的成本，是過早確定之後不願意承認假設已經失效。
執行上我會先用觀察倉測試，等成交量、價格和基本面至少有兩項同向，再考慮增加曝險；若波動擴大或流動性變薄，則先縮小倉位。任何回測、歷史案例或 KOL 觀點都只能用來建立假設，不能代替當下的風險檢查。這篇內容是我的研究筆記，不是保證收益的買賣指令。$APE ApeCoin (APE) is a mainstream project with a stronger background but currently experiencing the pains of ecological transformation.

$BEAT #长鑫科技上市, global storage competition adds variables Before regulatory documents were released, eight people siphoned off $80 million by buying options through a "front-running...... How can retail investors catch these "rat warehouses" in advance?
According to Caixin's latest disclosure, the number of locked accounts in the Futu/Tiger insider trading case has risen to 310. The most brutal part was the extreme concentration of profits: just before regulators released the rectification notice, only eight traders made large-scale short-term puts on Futu and Tiger, precisely withdrawing $80 million in one wave!
Whether in the US stock market or the Web3 market, this kind of "capital moves before the news comes out" is common. Insider information cannot be accessed by retail investors, but unusual options activity on the options chain is public and cannot be concealed.
To catch clues of this kind of smart money before the "black swan" lands, these three anomaly monitoring tools and core logic must be mastered:
Unusual Whales
Currently, it is one of the most comprehensive tools for tracking large US stock options orders and dark pools. Focus on Sweep Orders and Deep Out-of-Value (OTM) short-term put options far from the current price. These "rushing to close without regard to cost" major options orders often mean that funds have received certain news.
Barchart / MarketChameleon (Free Number Filter)
If you don't want paid software, Barchart's free options movement rankings are sufficient. Filter by Vol/OI (volume/open interest) ratio of > 3x. A stock that usually shows no fluctuations suddenly sees short-term put volume several times the open interest, which is very likely to cause trouble.
On-chain Derivatives Monitoring (Dune / Lookonchain)
Web3 players feel the same way. In Deribit or on-chain derivatives protocols, monitoring changes in large put options positions via the Dune Dashboard or keeping a close eye on sudden high-multiplier short positions in Smart Money wallets before major announcements.
Pitfall Warning:
Option fluctuations are not 100% copying trading signals; many large orders are normal hedging operations for institutional positions. Don't get carried away and immediately open short positions at the sight of huge puts; The correct use is to use it as a minesweeper and risk warning indicator—when a position shows abnormal short positions without warning, it should first avoid risk or take appropriate precautions.You can probably feel how bearish the current market is. Let me share a few sets of data to help you understand: The current total cryptocurrency market cap is about 2.32 trillion per month, down about 47% from the October 2025 peak$BTC the current $60,500, down 48% from the 2025 all-time high$ETH and currently $1k5, down about 67% from the peak. CEX spot trading volume fell 39.1% quarter-on-quarter in Q1. So, what is the future path for web3, or crypto? I have researched, analyzed, and summarized several directions that may lead the next bull market. You can position your position in advance based on your own situation and preferences. Stablecoins and payments. The stablecoin sector is probably the most certain and most likely to become the main theme in the industry. Because stablecoins solve very specific problems, such as slow cross-border remittances, limited banking hours, and crypto transactions requiring 24-hour asset settlement. Stablecoins have moved from being US dollars substitutes on exchanges into traditional payment networks, with very clear payment needs. For example, the commonly used U Card eliminates the hassle of withdrawals. Visa stated that as of March 2026, its stablecoin settlement business will operate at an annualized scale of about $7 billion. So, where exactly are stablecoins actually used? 1. Cross-border settlement for businesses, such as a Singaporean company paying a supplier in the US.

This round of miner profitability has entered an extreme phase: Hash Ribbons are still in the capitulation phase, some miners are selling coins to repay debts, or shifting energy resources to AI data centers.
Historically, this cleansing eliminated high-cost hash power and provided fertile ground for medium- to long-term bottoms; However, "starting to capitulate" does not mean "capitulation is over," and during the release of selling pressure, prices may continue to weaken.
My confirmation order is:
Hash was the first to stabilize its decline;
Difficulty gradually stabilized after adjustment;
$BTC Regain the 67K level, then consider increasing risk exposure accordingly.
If the price effectively breaks below the 60K support range, first control risk and avoid telling stories with miner data.
Don't treat on-chain indicators as buy buttons. A truly reliable bottom requires both miner data and price structure to improve simultaneously.

当一个项目付了钱、上了币、然后被告知“跟你沟通的人不是我们的人，并且项目登陆Gate”——这已经是Gate的公信力问题了The bull and bear cycles in the crypto market have never been a collective celebration of broad gains, but rather a clear and brutal underlying logic. Countless market data and cycle patterns confirm a core fact: sporadic speculation on coins can never attract off-exchange incremental capital; only Bitcoin's sustained and significant rise can leverage massive off-market capital inflows, activate market-wide liquidity, and ultimately give rise to a true crypto bull market; The frequent on-chain rally and local rallies of altcoins are just short-term episodes caused by investors growing frustrated by the competition of existing funds, and are by no means signals of a bull market start. Many ordinary investors fall into misconceptions, taking short-term surges in altcoins and slight rebounds in on-chain trading volume as signs of a bull market, blindly following trends to speculate on various niche coins. But looking at the crypto market's development over more than a decade, all truly comprehensive bull markets have been driven by the future from altcoins to Bitcoin's value breakthrough and market strength. The fundamental difference between the two is that altcoins can only mobilize existing market capital, while only Bitcoin has the core ability to absorb off-exchange incremental funds, and incremental capital is the core foundation supporting large-scale bull markets. From the market capital structure and institutional layout data, the choice of capital has long been clearly defined. Currently, compliant crypto ETF funds are extremely concentrated. Data shows that the total net asset value of Bitcoin ETFs has reached $115 billion, making them the absolute macro core asset in the global compliant crypto market; Meanwhile, the total net asset value of Ethereum ETFs is only $18.2 billion, showing a huge disparity in scale, especially regarding various counterfeit assetsChangxin Technology IPO Impact Analysis Brief on the Global Storage Sector
Report Date: July 27, 2026
I. Key Conclusions
1. There is a significant valuation bubble in the current US storage sector: Micron, SK Hynix, and SanDisk have surged 7-10 times from the bottom of this cycle, with the market forcibly assigning AI growth stock valuations based on peak profits at the cycle top, seriously deviating from the historical valuation patterns of the strong storage industry cycle.
2. Changxin Technology listed with a market value of 3.31 trillion yuan on the first day, which does not change the global storage supply-demand pattern in the short term but fundamentally breaks the market consensus of "three oligarchs permanently controlling prices," becoming a direct catalyst for the return of high valuations.
3. Impact differentiation: fundamental impact is greatest on Micron, emotional valuation impact is greatest on SanDisk, and SK Hynix is relatively resilient.
4. Sector outflows mainly rotate within US stocks, with only a small portion diverted to gold and cryptocurrencies; US stock market likely to open 1%-3% lower on sentiment, with low probability of a single-day crash and significant internal differentiation.
II. Current Valuation Status of the Storage Sector: Significant Bubble
2.1 Core Data Comparison of Key Targets
Target Latest Market Cap Increase from Cycle Bottom Core Valuation Metrics Business Structure
Micron Technology (MU) About $104 billion Over 800% increase in the past year Dynamic PE about 20x DRAM 76%, HBM market share 21%
SK Hynix (ADR) About $78 billion About 8x increase from bottom Dynamic PE about 12x DRAM 83%, HBM market share 57% (world's first)
SanDisk (SNDK) About $21.26 billion 781% increase since spin-off listing PE TTM 48.36x Pure NAND flash, no DRAM business
Changxin Technology (A-share) 3.31 trillion RMB (about $457 billion) First day up 465.82% from issue price Dynamic PE about 22x (2026 forecast) 100% general DRAM, global market share about 7.7%
2.2 Core Logic of Valuation Bubble
1. Cycle valuation trap: Storage is a typical strong cyclical industry, with reasonable PE at historical peak only 5-10x. Current profits are at cycle peak (DRAM prices up over 300% since end of 2024), profits are unsustainable, but the market assigns 20-48x PE as AI growth stocks, causing serious valuation misalignment.
2. Insufficient demand support: 90% of this round's storage price increase comes from coordinated production cuts by the three oligarchs, only 10% from shipment growth; downstream AI commercialization is below expectations, cloud providers' capital expenditure growth far exceeds revenue growth, computing power demand is bubble-like and cannot support high storage prices long-term.
3. Expectations severely overdrawn: Micron's trillion-dollar market cap has priced in all HBM price increase benefits for the next 3 years in advance; even if profits remain high, the stock price lacks room to rise and any negative factor may trigger profit-taking.
III. Impact Ranking of Changxin Listing on the Three Major Overseas Manufacturers
3.1 Fundamental Impact: Micron > SK Hynix >> SanDisk
- Micron: Greatest impact
Micron is the most dependent on the Chinese market among the three, with general DRAM (consumer and entry-level server) as its core business, highly overlapping with Changxin's main business. After Changxin's fundraising and capacity expansion, domestic substitution will accelerate, directly eroding Micron's market share in China; also, Micron's high proportion of general DRAM capacity means it is most directly affected by the industry's long-term pricing power shift downward.
- SK Hynix: Limited impact
Core profit comes from high-end HBM, capacity locked by cloud providers' long-term orders until end of 2027; Changxin cannot break this technical barrier in the short term, so high-margin core business is unaffected, only general DRAM is pressured, with a fundamental safety cushion.
- SanDisk: No direct impact
SanDisk is a pure NAND flash manufacturer; Changxin does not involve NAND business (domestic NAND leader is Yangtze Memory), so no direct business competition; decline is entirely due to sector sentiment drag.
3.2 Emotional Valuation Impact: SanDisk > Micron > SK Hynix
- SanDisk: Heaviest selling pressure
48x PE is the extreme manifestation of the sector bubble, fully relying on the narrative of "AI driving flash demand explosion," without oligopoly or technical barriers as hard support. Once sector sentiment cools, profit-taking will concentrate, with a decline significantly greater than the other two.
- Micron: High valuation reversion pressure
Trillion-dollar market cap is based on the core assumption of "three oligarchs coordinating production cuts and price hikes continuing until 2028." Changxin as an independent fourth player breaks this consensus, the long-term profit ceiling is pierced, and valuation midpoint must converge from growth stock to cyclical stock.
- SK Hynix: Relatively resilient
Has retreated over 40% from the high since July, negative factors already fully priced in; HBM technical barriers and real orders provide support, and it will stabilize first after sentiment release.
IV. Capital and Sentiment Transmission Path
1. Breaking the oligopoly price control belief (core long-term logic)
Previously, storage stock valuation premiums essentially assumed the three giants could permanently maintain high prices through coordinated production cuts. Changxin has domestic substitution policy support, capacity expansion is not constrained by the three giants' production cut rhythm, which will lower the industry's average gross margin and price hike cycle length long-term, leading to continuous valuation downward adjustment.
2. Passive rebalancing of index funds
Global semiconductor and storage indices will gradually include Changxin, passive funds will rigidly reduce Micron and Hynix holdings to allocate to Changxin, with scale reaching tens of billions of dollars. This rebalancing is a long-term slow variable, not completed in a single day, but will continuously suppress the rebound space of US storage stocks.
3. Concentrated profit-taking at high levels
Storage stocks have surged greatly, with strong profit-taking demand; Changxin's listing becomes a clear selling excuse, and speculative funds will use the negative news to concentrate selling.

Leave your comments, what are your views? #长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量 #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 What Gate means is: the 100,000 USDT and 800,000 ALD we paid according to the contract arrived in the "scammer's" wallet, and coincidentally, Gate's alpha automatically scraped ALD tokens, so the process couldn't be disclosed who connected to the token. In the end, the scammer's wallet was transferred to Gate alpha for an airdrop. Is that how it works?
Hash is here, the answer is here
When a project pays for it, registers tokens, and is then told "the person communicating with you is not one of us, and the project is logged into Gate"—this is already a credibility issue for GateThe Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision early Thursday morning. Everyone is guessing—will they raise rates or not? Hawkish or dovish?
But you might not have noticed: the market has already "voted" before the meeting even started.
Let's start with oil prices.
Last week, Brent crude briefly surged past $100 per barrel. The market panicked—"Second inflation wave is coming! The Fed will hike rates to death!"
What happened? Iran and the US paused mutual attacks over the weekend, raising hopes for a ceasefire. Oil prices crashed 5% at Monday's open, with Brent dropping to around $92 and WTI falling below $85.
The biggest inflation bomb defused itself before the FOMC meeting.
Now, employment.
Last week's initial jobless claims came in at 187,000.
What does that mean? The lowest record since 1969.
Economists had predicted a median of 210,000. The actual number was 23,000 lower than expected.
In plain language: companies are not laying off workers. The economy is not in recession. The Fed doesn't need to cut rates early to save the market.
Now consider this combination:
Oil prices fall → Inflation expectations cool → Pressure on US Treasury yields to fall eases
Strong employment → Economy "no landing" → Fed doesn't need emergency easing
What the market fears most is never "no rate cut," but "forced rate hikes."
Now that oil prices have collapsed and the inflation bomb has defused itself—how urgent is the need to raise rates?
Where is Bitcoin now?
Around $65,000.
The Fear and Greed Index has risen from the month's low to about 39. Although still in the "fear" zone, it's relatively high for the month.
The options market is even more direct—large call options are betting on BTC surging to $72,000 after the FOMC.
Smart money is already pricing in the "oil price drop" factor.
So, is Thursday's FOMC important?
Yes. But what's important is not "whether to raise rates"—all 76 economists expect rates to remain unchanged.
What's important is the "expectation gap."
CME data shows the market sees a 36.3% chance of a rate hike in July and 55.2% in September. But Renaissance Macro's chief economist Dutta bluntly said—"Why not raise rates now?"
If Fed's Waller speaks hawkishly, saying "inflation risks remain on the upside"—the market will reprice.
If Waller acknowledges slowing inflation and falling oil prices—then $65,000 becomes the new floor.
To be honest:
Most people focus on the volatility on FOMC day.
But the real game is "before the meeting."
Oil prices have already fallen, employment data is out, and BTC has returned to 65k.
Don't chase after the FOMC announcement.
The meeting day is more about realizing good news or exhausting bad news.

Interest rate? Definitely won't change. Who doesn't know that?
What really makes me uneasy is that with Warsh taking office, this is the first real showdown—not about whether to raise rates, but whether after the showdown they still let you "peek at the answers" in advance.
I've been trading for so many years, and what I fear most isn't volatility, it's when the rules get changed.
Powell's approach was basically "spoiler management": speeches, dot plots, various leaks, giving you the next three months' events in advance. The market was like anesthetized, volatility suppressed tightly, everyone comfortably lying flat and making money.
Now Warsh is here, tearing up the script. "Don't ask me, ask the data."
In plain language: from now on, don't expect to live off the Fed's leftovers. Every nonfarm payroll, every CPI, every initial jobless claim could smash or pump the market.
This isn't just an interest rate cycle issue; it's a reset of the entire pricing logic.
Today, I don't care about those 25 basis points at all—I only focus on three things, which are worth ten thousand times more than the interest rate number:
First, how Warsh "qualifies" inflation. Does he stubbornly say "transitory," or does he admit "sticky"? The former is reassurance, the latter is a warning. Changing one word in wording can shake rate cut expectations. Don't listen to his chatter, listen to which word he emphasizes.
Second, whether he still gives a "preview of the next episode." If the statement even deletes nonsense like "patiently wait," that's a naked way of telling you: guess yourself from now on, I'm not playing anymore. From that day, volatility premium must be re-evaluated, don't say I didn't warn you.
Third, whether the balance sheet reduction is mentioned. Interest rates are the open gun, balance sheet reduction is the hidden arrow. Taking 95 billion out of the system monthly—that's the knife hanging over AI and BTC. Not mentioning it doesn't mean nothing's happening; mentioning it means breaking the window paper directly.
My strategy has always been one sentence: don't bet on the news, bet on how the market reprices the news.
Tonight's fattest move probably won't be at 2:00 when the rate is announced—but at 2:30, the second Warsh opens his mouth to answer the first question.
At that moment, the market jumps from "known" to "unknown," chaos arises, spreads arise, and money is just waiting there to be picked up.
I won't rush to bet on direction; I only do one thing: clear my positions clean, wait for the market to screw up first, then I go in to pick up the scraps.
Because I know clearly, in this market that no longer hands you the answers, patience is worth a hundred times judgment, reaction is ten thousand times more reliable than prediction.
Wait for the wind, move after the wind stops.
Stop talking, watch the market.
$ETH $BTC$SKHYNIX Tomorrow is the earnings release day. The market unanimously expects Q2 operating profit to surge to 64 trillion won, a year-on-year increase of nearly 600%. What does that number mean? In the first half alone, operating profit broke 100 trillion won, surpassing the whole of last year. But interestingly, the stock price has already fallen more than 30% from its peak. The soaring oil prices and geopolitical tensions have shocked the market.

The fundamentals of this stock have never been problematic; external factors are pressing it down. Once external pressure is relieved, performance becomes the strongest backbone. Looking at the financial reports now, the numbers are clear cards, ceasefire expectations are fermenting, institutions are still waiting for more catalysts, and the window of opportunity has already appeared.

The underlying logic behind the recent strengthening of the storage sector
The storage sector has been steadily recovering recently, and this is not a short-term speculative theme. Based on industry chain research and institutional data, three core drivers can be identified.
1. Demand side is completely reshaped by AI computing power cycles. A single AI server is equipped with 8 to 10 times the DRAM capacity of a traditional server. By 2026, the demand share for server DRAM will exceed 50% for the first time, surpassing mobile phones to become the largest consumer market. Cloud providers continue to sign long-term locked supply agreements, stabilizing and underpinning demand.
2. Supply side faces structural shortages. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are allocating 70% of new advanced capacity to high-margin HBM, squeezing general DRAM capacity. TrendForce data shows that DRAM contract prices rose 58%-63% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2026. Industry inventory has fallen to a near five-year low, and the construction cycle for new wafer capacity is as long as two years. The supply-demand gap will last at least until 2027.
3. Sentiment receives a catalyst. ChangXin Technology's listing on the capital market is estimated to have a valuation of 2 to 3 trillion yuan, opening the valuation ceiling for domestic storage and driving a value re-rating for upstream and downstream equipment and material companies.
It is worth noting that the price increase in Q3 is expected to significantly narrow. This round is a structural boom, not a broad-based price rise. Storage demand related to consumer electronics remains weak, and capital will continue to focus on AI computing power-related targets. #财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊能稳住AI叙事吗？ #长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量 $NVDA is playing 1 huge 🔥 move
*According to the WSJ:*
- NVIDIA negotiates $250B guarantee for OpenAI data center in Ohio
- This is part of a deal with SoftBank to build the largest data center in the United States
- Total project cost can be up to $500B
- NVIDIA will "guarantee financing vehicles" for the whole cluster
*Why $NVDA do that?*
1. *Customer Key*: Ensure OpenAI + SoftBank only buys NVIDIA chips
2. *AI arms race*: Who owns compute = who wins the AI game
3. *Turn CAPEX into revenue*: Financial guarantee → sell $500B GPU/switch over the next 5-10 years
This is no longer "selling graphics cards" 🧠
$NVDA is becoming a bank + infrastructure company + AI company
Risk: $250B backstop is crazy. What if the project fails?
Reward: If AI is really the "new electricity", NVIDIA has just embraced the grid
The market will read this as extremely bullish news for $NVDA 🚀
Do you think this $500B data center is really necessary, or is it FOMO?
$BTC In the scope, the monthly trading volume of RWA perpetual contracts surged from 85 billion to 470 billion in just six months. This is not market volatility; it's a collective breath change among the prey— a signal that the whales are surfacing. A 450% increase feels like the concentrated impact zone after ballistic correction, and SPCX stands out alone, surging to 66 billion, as the crosshair locks onto the fattest prey. The growth rate of US stock token perpetual contracts is seven times that of commodities, indicating capital shifting from risk aversion to risk-taking, with clear targets and a defined movement path.
The humidity meter under the camouflage suit tells me the wind bias is changing. OKX and two other strongholds account for over 80% of the trading volume, evidence of concentrated firepower—the big fish only pass through the deepest channels. The linkage depth of XUSAR has been repeatedly calibrated by market data: every TDK (top confirmation signal) can find a corresponding position on-chain. I don't care about short-term skirmishes; I only care whether the target enters the 500-meter fixed distance ring—orders with a risk-reward ratio below three to one won't let my finger leave the safety.
After six months of lurking, the impact zone gradually narrows. When the scale of perpetual contracts begins to cover traditional assets, it means the next positional battle has already planted reconnaissance posts. The crosshair in the scope quietly aims at the moving shadow—wind direction, distance, breathing, everything is ready. The only thing to do now is to keep my finger hovering, waiting for the system to give the final confirmation command.
The target is already in sight, heart rate drops to forty-eight beats per minute. #RWAPerpsHit470B $DGB (DigiByte) rose +19.49% today, with the core narrative being the official launch of the decentralized stablecoin DigiDollar on July 17. Users can mint DigiDollar by locking DGB, which directly reduces the circulating supply of DGB and creates a natural "lock-up is deflation" mechanism. According to Coindar data, only 12.5% of DGB's supply remains unreleased. DigiByte itself is a well-established POW public chain launched in 2014, using five different mining algorithms and the Odocrypt deformation algorithm, which are adjusted every 10 days to enhance security; A block is generated every 15 seconds, 40 times faster than Bitcoin. The DGB community has long been discussing fast, low-fee payments and network upgrades. Recently, the coin price has broken out of a long-term upward channel with increased volume, and trading volume has surged in tandem. With high chip concentration and small circulating share, it is very easy for speculative capital to break out of a pulse market after entering the market—today is a typical case of "old trees sprouting new shoots." The adoption and promotion of DigiDollar is the core short-term logic behind DGB's rise.Logic is always right 👏 Korea is just an "echo" of Friday's sell-off
*Summary of the situation:*
- *KOSPI -4%+ at open* because it closed while the US was selling hard 😵
- *$Samsung + $SK Hynix -5%+* → sentiment for HBM/GPU cooled immediately
*The most important thing you said is correct:* Korea no longer leads the AI wave
The real signal lies in *AI CapEx of Big Tech* 🇺🇸
*2 scenarios this week:*
1. *Bull case*: MSFT, GOOGL, META still burning money on data centers + buying GPU/HBM → this drop is just a healthy correction 🚀
2. *Bear case*: They cut spending or AI growth misses → semis face another round of valuation cuts 📉
In the short term, I’m also "cautiously bearish" like you. 2 years of hot growth + interest rates + geopolitics = easy to test the bottom
Long term still a war for compute. As long as data centers keep being built, $NVDA, HBM, advanced packaging are still needed

$BTC BTC bottom detection indicator update: a true bottom confirmation signal has not yet been triggered.
I have built a BTC cycle bottom detection model that comprehensively observes ETF capital flows, price structure, US stock risk appetite, pressure from the US dollar and US Treasury bonds, on-chain chip changes, and market sentiment.
Currently, positive signals are indeed increasing:
ETF funds are flowing back in, indicating institutional buying is starting to recover; on-chain data shows long-term holders have not sold off massively, and chips are gradually transferring from short-term panic sellers to long-term holders.
But the problem is that several key conditions have not yet resonated.
Although BTC has rebounded and formed a certain high-low point structure, it has not undergone enough time for verification; on the macro level, US Treasury yields remain relatively high, and the liquidity environment has not fully shifted; market sentiment has only recovered from "extreme panic" to "cautious observation," still far from a true return of risk appetite.
So currently, it looks more like a bottom-building phase rather than a bottom confirmation phase.
We cannot even rule out the possibility that:
The market is creating a feeling of "the bottom has arrived" for everyone, only to trigger one last panic washout.
Historically, many major cycle bottoms did not form when everyone agreed, but appeared after the last wave of disappointment and the last batch of people cutting losses.
What is missing now may not be good news, but a thorough emotional cleansing.
My judgment: the bottom is getting closer, but the confirmation button has not yet been pressed.
The true bottom is not a price that falls out, but a resonance where capital, chips, sentiment, and macro factors all align simultaneously. We are still missing the last few pieces of the puzzle. Looking back at $SOL's development journey, it's like underground gambling gradually transitioning toward compliant online gambling. In the early days, the chain was flooded with various meme coins, with frequent trading by humans and machines, resulting in a chaotic and crowded market.
Speculators can't tolerate the lag and high trading experience, forcing Solana to refine ultra-high concurrency trading performance, and its wallet and liquidity support are rapidly improving.
In the early days, meme coins dominated the ecosystem; now, regulated prediction markets, tokenized stocks, and stablecoin payments are being implemented one after another. The underlying trading technologies honed through speculative battles are being absorbed and reused by traditional finance.
Solana is essentially bringing a casino-proven high-performance trading engine into a global financial market operating 24×7 hours. The meme coin craze is not the end, but rather the most brutal real-world stress test before traditional capital enters the market.Bitcoin Market Analysis and Forecast Flash:
[BTC returns to 65K, but volume hasn't caught up; both bulls and bears hold their positions and wait for FOMC to decide the direction]
Brothers and sisters, BTC rebounded from 63,800 over the weekend back above 65,000, surged to 65,555 on Monday, then pulled back to a narrow range of consolidation around 65,200.
But a closer look at the market reveals a few odd points:
1. Price rebound rebounds rely on news of a US-Iran ceasefire, not on buying!
Over the weekend, the US and Iran paused their mutual attacks, causing oil prices to plunge more than 5% from $100, and BTC rebounded accordingly. However, ETF funds saw net inflows of only $33.79 million last week, compared to $75.7 million and $197.4 million in the previous two weeks, showing a decline in inflows. BlackRock IBIT saw a weekly outflow of 95.9 million, with over 400 million combined over Thursday and Friday. Baillard has now become the main bear force!
2. Long/short volume continues to shrink
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw weekly trading volume of $8.05 billion, the lowest since October 2024, down 14% from the previous week. Additionally, net Bitcoin inflows from major players to exchanges have plummeted 44% from their peak in mid-June.
At the 4-hour level, both bulls and bears are evenly matched, but both are weak, and both sides are cautious; Daily trading volume is also quite sluggish, and the current market price movements are all based on news updates.
3. FOMC is the largest variable
At 2:30 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday, the Federal Reserve announced its interest rate decision. CME FedWatch shows a 31.5% probability of a rate hike in July, with just over 10% at the start of the month. All 104 economists held their expectations steady, yet the futures market priced in over 30% of interest rate hikes, showing huge divergence.
4. Direction prediction and optimal trading strategies
(1) The daily trading volume from July 1 to July 27 still shows a volume-price divergence, indicating that the bulls are not strong and the offensive is not sustainable;
(2) Looking at the four-hour long volume fluctuation curve from July 1 to July 27, bullish volume is gradually declining, with no main or secondary volume observed in the past week; overall, it is weak and weak.
(3) ETF institutional funds saw net outflows of about 220 million yuan for two consecutive days, with Baylord leading the way as the main bear force and ETF institutions retreating;
(4) The probability of rate hike expectations has slightly increased, and the clear bill is highly unlikely to pass—these two are potential negative factors.
(5) Bitcoin prices have rebounded to around 65,500, close to previous highs, indicating weak bullish momentum and limited upside potential.
Based on these five factors, I predict that Bitcoin is generally bearish and weak, with a relatively high probability of a subsequent downward pullback. If the price surges because of news, it is not a trend reversal but a price impulse triggered by the news. It is not suitable for chasing highs, but rather to reduce positions or position short positions on rallies.
Key locations:
(1) Above: resistance at 65,500-65,800; a breakout could target 66,500-67,000;
(2) Below: support at 64,200-64,300; if it falls below 63,000-63,500,
Best strategy: wait and see before the FOMC takes effect. After the FOMC is implemented, below 67,500, short selling is mainly on rallies.Looking back at history, it's clear that fake news often emerges before major nodes in the crypto world, causing chaos in the market. Back then, on the eve of the Bitcoin $BTC spot ETF approval, there were two blunders:
In October 2023, Cointelegraph unreviewed and forwarded a forged screenshot of the Bloomberg terminal, falsely claiming the SEC had approved BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF. Bitcoin surged 7%-8% to hit $30,000, but after the rumor was debunked, the market plunged, and futures market liquidations exceeded $100 million; In January 2024, the SEC's official social media account was hacked, and a false approval announcement was issued, triggering another intense market turmoil.
Now that the Clarity Act has entered a critical window period, there is also a risk of false information spreading and causing sharp market fluctuations. Interestingly, this kind of short-term chaos often dampens market sentiment, which actually creates room for subsequent real market gains. #多数党领袖称CLARITY休会前难通过 yes, this sounds easy but hard to spill 😂
*Mathematics:*
$10 → $20 → $40 → ... → $81,920 after 13 BTC all-ins on Polymarket
Missing another 18k is a full $100k. All-in 1 more handicap to come
*Reality:*

That is, you need 8192 people to try, only 1 person eats 100k. 8191 people lose $10
It's the "skill-based lottery" of crypto:
It's small, the dopamine is big, and the feeling of "I only need to get it right 13 times"
Polymarkets win in that every time you lose $10, they charge a fee. The more people who dream 13 times, the richer they will be.
Not to say that it can't be done. Some people can do it.

$BTC These 6 news stories combined = 1 pretty clear picture of this 👀 week
*(1) AI Kill Switch Act*
The US wants Homeland Security to have a button to "turn off" frontier AI. A fine of $20M/day for failure to listen.
The reason: fear of AI losing control. The consequence: AI labs + data centers will be managed like the energy industry. Putting pressure on $NVDA, cloud providers
*(2) RWA Wins Crypto on Hyperliquid*
For the first time, stocks, commodities, and indices have the largest volume > crypto on the decentralized derivatives exchange.
ARK said "change the game". Signal: institutional cash flows are coming in via RWA instead of shitcoin. Bullish for tokenization
*(3) Samsung Wallet + USDC*
Samsung teased a wallet with USDC right on Galaxy Unpacked. Few details but big significance: 3 billion phone users may have default stablecoin wallets
$USDC has 1 more giant retail gateway
*(4) Claude Opus 5 is cheaper but more powerful than Fable 5*
Anthropic "cannibalizes" its own products. Cheap 1/2, benchmark score is higher than most
AI war = cost war. Whoever is cheap + good will win the developer
*(5) Clarity Act jammed*
The Senate's crypto framework bill is unlikely to pass before the August recess. Democrats don't approve the ethics part of the GOP
→ Clear provisions for $BTC $ETH delay. The market hates uncertainty
*(6) Poolin bankrupt*
Each top mining pool, freezing withdrawals 2022 hours of sale of Texas mines to repay debts 11,700 users
Reminder: mining also carries counterparty risks, not just $BTC
*In Summary:*
AI is squeezed, RWA is up, stablecoins are on the phone, crypto regulation is delayed, mining is poured in.
This week macro + infra wins over narrative coins
Which news do you see most $BTC $ETH impacting of these 6?
$BTC $ETH Big Tech earnings just delivered a reality check for the AI trade.
Alphabet and Tesla both reported results, yet their stocks sold off—not because the numbers were weak, but because AI spending is getting harder for investors to ignore. Google Cloud grew 82%, but rising AI capex guidance still raised concerns.
The market is shifting. Massive AI spending was once viewed as a sign of bold vision. Now, investors are asking the tougher question: Where’s the ROI?
That’s the same pressure hitting semiconductors from the demand side. No one is questioning whether AI is real. The debate is about whether hundreds of billions in capex can generate enough revenue before expectations catch up.
For crypto, the lesson is similar: narratives can reprice quickly when the market moves from “show me the vision” to “show me the results.”
With $BTC around $64K, today’s risk-off mood feels like the same “prove it” mentality spreading across tech.
Just my read, not financial advice.
#CXMTMemoryIPO #FOMCRateWatch $SNDK Don't get excited at the open, it hasn't fallen all the way in yet. Friday's closing price was 1436. Intraday low was 1411. It dropped 260 points over two days. There was no news to save it over the weekend. At Monday's open, it is highly likely to continue declining. Someone asked me, after dropping 260 points, is it still not possible to bottom-fish? I said, why are you in such a hurry? Last week's $SNDK decline was driven by volume; a drop on high volume shows that funds are truly flowing, not a shakeout. The storage sector was completely wiped out, with SK Hynix down 8%, Micron down 7%, and Western Digital down nearly 7%. Even the big players are falling—can SanDisk stay unscathed? Morgan Stanley is also pouring cold water, saying storage contract prices are about to peak, and the momentum of earnings increases is slowing. Bottom-fishing at this position is no different from catching a flying knife. There is another signal worth watching: last Friday, SanDisk showed no rebound at all, plunging all the way to the close. What does this indicate? This shows that the funds buying the bottom are not in a hurry and are willing to wait for a lower price. No one false-started, so there was still a low point. The bearish sentiment hasn't fully vented yet, and Monday morning trading is likely to continue to see a momentum of a sell-off. Once it has dropped completely, stopped falling, and trading volume has shrunk, that's the time to enter. I'm currently empty. No rush to buy the dip. Waiting to watch the show. Wait until it drops below 1400 before doing anything. What's the rush? Money in hand. Be patient.Meme season is back first 🔥
Everyone thought the big caps would kick things off after the long bear. Nope. The OG meme crews decided to run it instead.
24h leaders:
$SHIB up 36 percent
$PEOPLE up 19 percent
$ORDI up 13 percent
$FLOKI up 10 percent, $WIF up 9 percent, $PE up 8 percent
$PENGU up 7 percent, $BONK up 7 percent, $DOGE up 5 percent, $GIGGLE up 4 percent
Three things I’m seeing:
First, no new coins. It’s $SHIB, $DOGE, $PEPE and the names from last cycle. When risk appetite comes back, money flows straight into tokens with real communities and real liquidity.
Second, $SHIB is doing $SHIB things. 36 percent in a day after weeks of sideways. That explosive pop is exactly why people still watch it.
Third, $ORDI is moving too. As the Bitcoin inscriptions play, it’s running right alongside the memes. That tells me capital is rotating into high beta, beaten down assets that can move fast.
History is clear on this. Memes get hit the hardest in bear markets, and they also bounce the fastest when sentiment flips.
Now the question: does this spread across the whole market, or is it just a short rotation? That depends on whether liquidity stays in memes or starts rotating out to other sectors.
Not financial advice. Always do your own research.
$SHIB $DOGE $PEPEChangxin's performance today might not be very friendly to Mu. Most of Mu's revenue comes from DRAM, but recently Mu has shifted most of its capacity towards HBM. Since Micron has a stronger advantage in HBM technology, it seems Mu won't be heavily suppressed. However, holders of MU should still be cautious. At this stage, the divergence pressure on Mu won't be small. For Google, hold tight and don't move, maintaining the target unchanged. The market currently expects a 35% chance of a Fed rate hike this week, but I believe there won't be one! The most likely scenario, in my opinion, is no rate hike, but Powell will come out to talk hawkishly and scare the world, maintaining this stance until the end of the year. Theoretically, this is the script.
I still believe the Fed won't raise rates this year because they are already shrinking the balance sheet. Combining that with a rate hike would really cause short-term assets to explode! Trump + Bassett + Powell, these three have been making various statements and behind-the-scenes moves recently, and I believe they are working together!! $mu$goog)Micron ($MU) surged to $950 before retreating to the middle Bollinger band, with the 1-hour MA5 and MA10 turning downward. The market is shifting from broad-sector rally expectations to individual competition and differentiation, with funds repricing the direction of industry expansion.
Technically, selling pressure near $950 has weakened short-term momentum, and the candlestick is retesting the middle Bollinger Band support. If the key support at $930 is breached, it means short-term long positions will face stop-loss pressure, and traders need to guard against amplified volatility caused by emotional release.
The driving logic, ranked by importance, is: expectations for medium- and long-term prices passed down by China's DRAM expansion, actual realization of HBM and high-end data center businesses, and the tightening of overall market risk appetite. The expansion news has reduced capital risk appetite for the tight supply and demand of general storage, driving capital to reposition positions.
The upside scenario must meet the need for HBM and data center business data to continue exceeding expectations. If fundamentals are strong and the $930 support is effective, funds will re-buy high-barrier stocks. The key variables to watch are high-end DRAM order deliveries and profitability indicators. The script fails signal: lack of follow-up volume after breaking $950.
The downside scenario is based on industry competition and the assumption of capacity release exceeding expectations. If the $930 support is broken, the valuation center may face downward correction pressure. The variables to watch are the speed of industry expansion and price declines, with the script failing signal: a rebound rebounding and stabilizing above the upper Bollinger band.
When the market resumes overall buying sentiment for the storage sector rather than focusing on structural differentiation, the above competitive pricing logic will fail.
In the next 7 days, key attention should be paid to changes in holdings at the $930 support level and subsequent disclosures of high-end DRAM and HBM business data.

This meeting of the 3 big guys + Jensen Huang is not a meeting for fun:
*What's on the table:*
1. *Hyundai x NVIDIA*: Genesis self-driving car co-dev. That is, putting GPU + AI in cars, competing directly with Tesla FSD
2. *Naver x NVIDIA*: Promoting AI investment. Naver is the "Google of Korea" → they need their own LLM, their own data center
3. *Samsung + SK Hynix x NVIDIA*: Chip consolidation, memory, HBM. These two men are the No. 1 HBM supplier to NVIDIA
*Read the taste:*
The US squeezes AI, China is banned, → South Korea wants to become a neutral "AI factory". There are both chips, software, and applications
If the deal goes through, then:
- *Bullish*: $NVDA, HBM, memory, data center capex
- *Macro*: The AI race is now US-China-Korea. No more dual codes
But at the same time #CLARITYActStalled in the US, South Korea accelerated. Capital will flow to where there is the clearest policy
Do you think Samsung/SK Hynix will benefit first or is Naver the dark horse here?
$ETH $BTC When I brushed away the still-unsturdy ashes on Ohio's surface, the handkerchief was stained not with dirt, but with the dull echoes of the $500 billion Stonehenge sinking.
History never repeats itself, yet it always beats the same war drum. Three thousand years ago, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt emptied all their granaries to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu, seeking the power of immortality from the gods; Now, Masayoshi Son and OpenAI have invested 10 gigawatts of computing power in the Americas, which is just another extravagant "Babel-style gamble" in the era of digital civilization. This massive computing site, estimated to cost over 500 billion USD, is far from just modern infrastructure; it is clearly the highest altar of power built in the post-industrial era using electricity and silicon crystals.
Even more interesting is the secret buried deep within the leverage strata—Old Huang has taken out $250 billion in endorsement guarantees. This is very much like the late Roman Empire, when the consuls used the credit of the central treasury to endorse the border legions and fund the expeditionary forces to build the Iron Wall. Even if this guarantee excludes his own silicon chips, and even if the agreement still faces the risk of collapse amid wind and sand, this capital totem is deeply rooted in the soil. It declares to the entire geopolitical market: the new era of computing power minting will never be interrupted amid liquidity drought.
Meanwhile, in another trench of civilization, the transfer of minting rights is happening simultaneously. On the same day, at the foundry in Arizona, which was assigned this important role, the first batch of American-made GB300 chips finally broke out of the furnace. From a geoarchaeological perspective, this was an extremely rare "great migration of the empire's core crafts." As the $XTSM of the foundational computing power casting bureau, its sharpest bronze blade has already been forged and formed in the heart of the New World. Combined with the $1 billion capital penetration imposed on East Asia Naver, a transoceanic defense line has been broken.
The strata do not lie. In the scan map of civilizations, grand ambitions often lie buried alongside earth-shattering levers, but those who hold the furnace and hammer power will forever determine the naming rights of the next geological epoch. #nvidiabacksopenai[Solana Minted 250 Million USDC, Positive Narrative for On-Chain Liquidity, but Should Not Be Directly Seen as Inflow]
The narrative on Solana's on-chain liquidity is relatively positive, but the price direction may not react immediately. Whale Alert monitoring shows that Circle's USDC Treasury has minted 250 million USDC on the Solana blockchain, indicating an expansion in stablecoin settlement and scheduling capacity on the network.
The importance of minting itself lies in the fact that stablecoins are a key universal medium for on-chain spot trading, derivatives margin, payments, and DeFi protocols. If new supply subsequently enters trading, lending, market making, or payment scenarios, it can reduce capital turnover friction and provide more usable settlement assets for activities within the ecosystem.
But the most common misunderstanding in the market is equating "minting" directly with "buying has entered." USDC minting may be a pre-issuance for customers, cross-chain inventory scheduling, or reconfiguration after redemption. What truly affects the Solana ecosystem is whether this batch of funds remains on-chain, which protocols it flows to, and whether it drives ongoing trading and usage demand.
Going forward, you can pay attention to changes in on-chain USDC balances, fund destinations, and actual usage of related applications. If it is only short-term inventory increase, the narrative effect may be limited; If stablecoin accumulation and on-chain activity improve simultaneously, the significance of liquidity expansion will become clearer.

A month ago, I said $SPCX could drop 50%.
It happened.
Now I’m telling you: the bottom may still be ahead.
📅 Unlocks begin August 11
📊 Around 20% of shares are expected to enter the market
And here’s the key point:
Only about 5% of total shares are currently in circulation.
That means a significant amount of potential selling pressure could still be coming.
🎯 My bottom target: $80–$85
The setup reminds me of Tesla’s IPO in 2010.
The stock eventually found its bottom around the middle of the unlock cycle, moved sideways for a period, and then the real rally began.
Could $SPCX follow a similar path?
The moment I make my first buy, I’ll post it HERE.

#CXMTMemoryIPO #FOMCRateWatch [Strategy has not increased its BTC holdings for three consecutive weeks; corporate buying expectations remain cautious, cash reserves worth tracking]
The narrative of marginal buying by companies on BTC is cautious, and in the short term, it's best to wait and see. Footage shows that since selling 3,588 BTC on July 6 to pay dividends on digital credit securities, Strategy has not increased its holdings for three consecutive weeks; During the same period, its US dollar reserves increased by $1.2 billion to $3.75 billion.
The point is not to simply interpret the three-week pause as bearish, but rather that the market has previously seen the company as a representative of corporate allocation that continues to absorb BTC supply. The current significant increase in newly added dollar reserves indicates a time lag between the available funds on its balance sheet and the immediate BTC purchase, so the pace of marginal demand naturally needs to be reassessed.
This cash may represent future allocation ammunition or prioritize dividends, financing instruments, or other capital arrangements, so it cannot be directly included in the supply and demand model as potential purchases. A more favorable scenario for the market is when the company clarifies the use of funds and resumes verifiable increases; Conversely, if cash continues to accumulate but the buying pace has not resumed, the company's buying premium may cool.
Next, attention should be paid to its next public disclosure regarding the use of US dollar reserves, financing arrangements, and changes in BTC holdings. At this stage, what can be confirmed is the suspension of increased holdings and the rise in cash, which cannot be used to infer its subsequent specific trading actions.
The above is only a personal opinion sharing and does not constitute any investment advice. The market changes rapidly; trading profits and losses is borne by yourself.[Kraken's parent company acquires Magic Labs wallet business, with a positive narrative for on-chain entry points on trading platforms]
The narrative of trading platforms extending on-chain user entry points is relatively positive, but the results of business integration have yet to materialize. Kraken's parent company Payward announced the acquisition of Magic Labs' embedded wallet business, with wallet clients migrating to Payward Services after completion; Magic Labs was renamed Newton Labs and shifted to developing on-chain financial protocols.
The value of this transaction is not just an asset acquisition, but the platform's attempt to further integrate accounts, wallets, and on-chain interactions. Since its founding in 2018, Magic Labs has created over 60 million wallets and served more than 200,000 developers, indicating that its embedded wallet capabilities have established a relatively mature developer and user base.
The market will watch whether Payward can translate these wallet capabilities into a less friction experience for account opening, payments, on-chain transactions, or asset management. If migration proceeds smoothly, users and developers who need to switch between centralized services and on-chain applications will benefit; Risks include retention during customer migration, data and permission integration, and whether product positioning will be diluted after acquisition.
The focus going forward will not be on changes in transaction names, but on whether Payward will announce the pace of product integration, customer retention, and the addition of on-chain services. Infrastructure M&A usually begins with improving capability boundaries, but revenue and usage still require time to prove.
The above is just a personal opinion sharing and does not constitute any investment advice. The market changes rapidly, and trading profits and losses are borne by the buyer.
