#英伟达拟为OpenAI提供2500亿美元担保
$250 billion — Nvidia is negotiating a massive financing guarantee for OpenAI to lease SoftBank's 10 GW data center project in Ohio. This is not only the largest financial transaction in the AI boom but also marks NVIDIA's upgrade from "AI shovel seller" to "AI infrastructure bank."
NVIDIA is using its balance sheet to pay for the future of AI—while ensuring future orders continue to flow to itself.
---
(1) Transaction details: 250 billion guaranteed, leveraging 500 billion yuan in projects
This guarantee will help OpenAI lease SoftBank's 10-gigawatt data center campus in southern Ohio. The total project cost may exceed $500 billion, with Nvidia's guarantee covering the debts required for data center leasing and construction, but excluding the Nvidia chips deployed within the data. In addition, Nvidia is also discussing another deal to finance OpenAI's chip procurement, potentially worth as much as $350 billion.
The core logic of this deal is that OpenAI, as an unprofitable private company, lacks an investment-grade credit rating. Nvidia's credit endorsement acts like a "ticket," allowing SoftBank to secure more financing to advance project construction. OpenAI, on the other hand, has promised to lease this computing power—forming a closed loop of "Nvidia guarantees→ bank loans→ SoftBank building data centers→ OpenAI renting → purchasing Nvidia chips."
(2) How large is the project?
The project was located at the former Portsmouth uranium enrichment plant in Pike County, southern Ohio—a Cold War site that supplied weapons-grade uranium for nuclear weapons programs, which was shut down in 2001. SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank, will build a 10 GW power generation facility here, of which at least 9.2 GW will be generated from natural gas. 10 gigawatts is roughly equivalent to the total output power of a large nuclear power plant, enough to meet the electricity needs of about 8 million American households.
The first phase of the project is expected to be completed in 2028, providing approximately 800 megawatts of electricity. The entire park is fully loaded and is expected to continue construction until the mid to late 2030s.
(3) Nvidia's role upgrade: from chip supplier to infrastructure bank
Previously, there were rumors that Nvidia was cutting back its hundreds of billions in funding to OpenAI. In early planning, Nvidia considered a $100 billion direct investment plan, but it was shelved as OpenAI pushed ahead with its IPO. Now, shifting from direct equity injections to $250 billion in project financing guarantees, Nvidia has not only significantly increased its funding commitments but also achieved substantial upgrades in support methods.
This model can avoid OpenAI's pre-IPO valuation games and equity dilution risks, leverage massive infrastructure projects with relatively low capital occupation, and ensure that OpenAI's future massive computing power procurement orders continue to flow to NVIDIA through deep binding. This is not an investment, it's lock-in.
(4) Questioning: Circular Financing and Bubble Risk
Critics point out that by investing in AI companies and supporting infrastructure construction, NVIDIA may be artificially creating higher market demand, further pushing up the risk of an AI industry valuation bubble.
(5) Transmission to the crypto market
Nvidia's $250 billion guarantee for OpenAI is essentially a further acceleration of AI infrastructure. The impact on the crypto market is indirect but far-reaching. From the perspective of computing power demand, the expansion of AI data centers is consuming a large amount of global electricity resources, and the energy competition faced by Bitcoin miners will only intensify. From a narrative perspective, tech giants continue to ramp up AI infrastructure narratives, indirectly supporting market sentiment in the AI+Crypto track, but the short-term impact on hardware such as memory chips is limited—Changxin Technology's listing and fluctuations in storage stocks remain more direct variables.
From "selling shovels" to "acting as a banker," NVIDIA is redefining its position in the AI industry chain. Whether this model can continue depends on whether AI's ultimate demand can truly fill these soon-to-be-built data centers! ORDI, the pioneering coin in the Bitcoin inscription sector, once sparked a massive bull market for inscriptions. Countless people have profited from inscription narratives, attracting a large number of retail investors to follow the trend. Now that the hype has faded, market attention is shifting to AI and new public blockchain hotspots. The growth rate of new Bitcoin inscription traffic has slowed, making it difficult to replicate the grand spectacle of nationwide participation. Many people are still holding on, waiting for a second wave of growth, but the opportunity never arrives as people expect. In a stock market competition, repeating historical gains is extremely difficult. 「巨鲸发现」千万级原油巨鲸套利失败，美、布原油反向开仓亏达45万美元

The Federal Reserve meets this week, with the probability of a rate hike soaring from 13% a week ago to 38%.
① Data
On July 28-29, the Federal Reserve will hold a policy meeting. A week ago, the market thought the chance of a rate hike was only 13%, but now CME data shows the probability of a 25 basis point hike has risen to 36.3%-38%.
More importantly, for September—the probability of keeping rates unchanged is only 19.6%, the probability of a 25 basis point hike is 55.2%, and the probability of a 50 basis point hike is 25.2%. The market has fully priced in a rate hike in September.
However, a Bloomberg survey of 76 economists shows all respondents expect rates to remain unchanged in July. Economists and market traders have completely opposite judgments on the same issue.
② Why has the probability of a rate hike suddenly surged?
Oil prices. During the US-Iran conflict, Brent crude once approached $94. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations rise. When inflation expectations rise, the Federal Reserve is forced to be more hawkish.
Powell’s style. The new chair has clearly stated since taking office—no advance guidance, everything depends on the data. Unlike his predecessor who gave clear signals to the market, the market can only guess probabilities.
Internal division is already happening. The June dot plot shows 9 officials expect at least one rate hike by year-end, with 6 expecting two hikes. The chief economist at Renaissance Macro even bluntly said: "Why not hike now?"
③ What is the market worried about?
Inflation might make a comeback. June CPI did drop to 3.5%, but that was before oil prices surged. With oil prices rising so much in July, next month’s CPI likely won’t look as good.
The labor market is too strong. Initial jobless claims are 187,000, the lowest in seven years. The Fed wants to cut rates, but employment data gives no reason.
④ What does this mean for the crypto market?
BTC has already bounced back to 65,000, and the fear index has risen to 30. If the Fed holds rates steady but signals hawkishness, the market may dip first then rebound. If there’s a surprise hike, BTC could quickly retest 62,000-63,000. If rates hold steady with dovish wording, BTC might challenge 67,000-68,000.
From tonight to tomorrow, fluctuations in Nasdaq futures and US Treasury yields will signal direction earlier than candlesticks. The market is watching what Powell says—whether it will be "hold steady but keep the option to hike" or release a clearer signal. The answer will be revealed early Thursday morning.#财报观察员: Can Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon stabilize the AI narrative?
Recently, many people have been waiting for earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon, but I actually think the market's main concern this time is no longer whether EPS exceeds expectations.
Instead, another question arises: Has AI really started making money?
Over the past year, the AI narrative has driven tech stocks to new highs, but market tolerance is declining.
A few days ago, although Alphabet delivered decent results, it raised its AI capital expenditure (CapEx) forecast again, sparking concerns in the market about investing too quickly and returns being slow, putting clear pressure on its stock price.
This also means that Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon are under greater financial pressure than ever before.
Microsoft needs to prove that the revenue growth brought by Azure AI is sufficient to cover the ever-expanding computing power investment; Meta needs to tell the market that tens of billions of dollars in data center investments will ultimately translate into advertising revenue and profits; Amazon aims to prove that AWS and AI services can continue to grow, rather than just rising capital expenditures.
I believe this round of earnings will become a watershed moment in AI investment logic.
Previously, the market believed in "invest first, then make money."
What the market wants more now is "after investing, it has already started making money."
If all three companies can simultaneously prove that their AI investments are consistently delivering revenue, then the entire AI industry chain—GPU, storage, networking, optical modules, and even the Physical AI area I've been following closely—is expected to continue benefiting.
But if revenue growth can't keep pace with capital expenditure, the market may further squeeze the valuation of the AI sector. Even if the earnings report itself is good, it doesn't necessarily mean the stock price will rise.
So this week, when I look at financial reports, I don't first look at EPS, but rather at whether management answers one question: has AI been disproven? Can it truly bring huge returns to $META? One of today's standout tokens: 💥 Euler rose sharply after the information was listed on Upbit KRW, one of South Korea's largest crypto exchanges. Appearing on Upbit often generates big attention thanks to: Korean retail cash flow.
📊 New liquidity from the KRW trading pair.
⚡ FOMO sentiment when the token is accessible to a larger number of users. 🏦 The story behind $EUL Euler is a DeFi protocol focused on: 💰 Lending & borrowing.
⛓️ On-chain asset management.
🔧 Decentralized finance mechanismBinance RLUSD has an annualized yield of 22.25%, but are you worried about a 0.1% premium eating into your gains?
Here's a strategy to buy RLUSD without chasing the rally or worrying about RLUSD falling after the event ends—you can still participate in Binance's RLUSD event.
Core tool: Euler
Currently, you can use the three types of stablecoins shown in the chart as collateral to lend RLUSD on Euler, then deposit the borrowed RLUSD into Binance to participate in the event.
For stability, USDC can be prioritized as collateral.
There is a clear difference between Euler and Morpho:
The stablecoins staked into Euler themselves can continue to generate yield.
Therefore, after deducting the borrowing cost of RLUSD, the collateral side can still receive about 0.85%–2.65% of the net return, and the RLUSD borrowed can participate in Binance's activities. Currently, there is 6.2M in available liquidity, which is also a good capital capacity.
The benefits of this approach are:
- No need to buy at the high premium of RLUSD;
- No risk of RLUSD falling after the event ends, which eats up wealth management returns;
- The collateral assets themselves can continue to earn returns
The trade-off is an extra layer of Euler contract risk and a slight reduction in capital efficiency.
Take USDC as an example: Euler's Max LTV is 89%, meaning that collateralizing $100,000 USDC can only lend up to about $89,000 RLUSD, which cannot achieve 100% capital utilization.
However, since both collateral and borrowed assets are mainstream stablecoins, liquidation risks are relatively controllable.
The essence of this strategy is:
Sacrificing some capital efficiency in exchange for not chasing RLUSD highs or bearing the risk of premium pullbacks, while retaining the activity profits.

Today, Changxin Technology went public, soaring 471% at the opening, feeling like the top of the A-share market.
I want to say this is a milestone step for domestic semiconductors, but it is still far from shaking the pattern of the three giants.
The core significance of Changxin's listing is that it has obtained sufficient ammunition to pursue process technology and expand production capacity, truly breaking the global DRAM "three-company monopoly" into a new pattern of "three strong and one weak." Short-term sentiment is very heated, and the first-day valuation has already overdrawn many performance expectations, so don't blindly chase the high; in the long term, general storage domestic substitution is a definite trend, but the high-end HBM track still lags by 2-3 years, and the real tough battle is yet to come.
Because whether in terms of market value or technology, there is still a considerable gap.
Changxin's listing has rewritten the global storage competition pattern. The long-term logic of domestic substitution is very solid, but the short-term sentiment premium is too high, and the technology gap still needs time to be bridged Crude oil risk premium squeeze and strong employment data intertwine, with the core market conflict on the eve of the Federal Reserve interest rate decision shifting to the macro battle between "cooling inflation" and "prolonged high interest rates."
Geopolitical easing expectations drove crude oil futures $CL to plunge more than 5% intraday, and the decline in energy prices directly lowered short- and medium-term inflation expectations. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims last week fell to 187,000, indicating the labor market remains resilient and strong.
In terms of driving factors, the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting statement forms the primary trading theme, while tech giants' earnings and capital expenditures serve as the secondary liquidity indicator. The crypto fear and greed index rose back to 30, coupled with BTC surpassing the $65,000 mark, indicating increasing market pricing for a soft landing.
The upside scenario requires the meeting to release dovish signals and tech giants' earnings to exceed expectations. If the Fed confirms the downward inflation trend, U.S. stocks and crypto markets will see cross-market liquidity recovery, but attention should be paid to the approximately $900 million FTX compensation starting July 31, which may cause short-term pressure on market chips.
The downside scenario depends on labor market resilience triggering hawkish signals or sudden geopolitical fluctuations. If the Fed emphasizes maintaining high interest rates longer than expected, oil prices $CL will rebound again, and a stronger dollar and U.S. Treasury yields will trigger cross-market risk aversion, with tech stock pullbacks dragging crypto assets down simultaneously.
The failure conditions for these two scenarios lie in a full return of geopolitical risk premiums or an unexpectedly implemented Fed policy shift. Once crude oil regains upward momentum and recovers losses, the cooling inflation logic fails; if jobless claims continue to be lower than expected, delaying rate cut expectations entirely, the macro pricing framework will be reconstructed.
In the next 7 days, key focus should be on the Fed interest rate decision statement early Thursday, changes in tech giants' earnings and capital expenditures, and the actual market absorption capacity of FTX compensation funds flowing in starting July 31.
#新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #英伟达拟为OpenAI提供2500亿美元担保#美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 Many people are guessing whether to keep interest rates unchanged or raise them this time.
But I believe that more important than the results is the first set of monetary policy logic of the Warsh era.
During Powell's era, the market was accustomed to trading expectations ahead through speeches, dot plots, and forward-looking guidance; After Warsh took office, the biggest change was the weakening of forward-looking guidance, bringing the market back to a "data-driven policy" model.
This means that future market volatility may be even greater.
Because when central banks stop giving you answers in advance, asset prices can only be continuously repriced based on new economic data.
For BTC, the US AI sector, and risk assets, this is not just an interest rate meeting, but also a shift in market pricing mechanisms.
My trading philosophy has always been simple:
What you trade is not news, but how the market digests the news; What you trade is not the opinion, but the expectation of how things will change.
So for this meeting, I won't rush to predict directions, but will focus on three signals:
* How Warsh evaluates current inflation;
* Whether to continue to adhere to weakening forward-looking guidance;
* Will the market reprice liquidity expectations for the coming months as a result?
Real opportunities often come from the moment market perception shifts, not from the minute interest rates are announced. $ETH Is Changxin's IPO bad news for Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron? #长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量
Short term, it's not bad news; long term, definitely yes!!
Today many are discussing Changxin's IPO surge, but I'm more concerned about another thing: will Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron lose sleep over this?
Changxin's IPO won't reshuffle the global DRAM market overnight. In the AI era, HBM remains the most profitable business for Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, and Changxin still has a clear gap to close.
So in the next two to three years, their real competitors remain each other.
But the capital market looks to the future.
The large amount of funds raised by Changxin this time is not just for expanding production but also means more chips for future R&D investment, advanced processes, HBM, and other high-end storage fields.
If global storage competition used to be a "Three Kingdoms Kill" game,
it has now officially become "Three Kingdoms Kill + a rapidly upgrading new player."
I have always focused on Physical AI, so I pay special attention to the storage industry.
Because in the future, whether AI servers, robots, or autonomous driving, they all fundamentally rely on DRAM and HBM.
Whoever can capture the next generation of high-end storage will reap the biggest dividends from the next round of AI infrastructure.
So in my view, the greatest significance of Changxin's IPO is not how much it rose today, but that the global storage industry has for the first time seen a competitor truly worth Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron's long-term vigilance.
In the next three to five years, I won't change my judgment based on one company's stock price fluctuations, but I will keep watching one indicator:
When will Changxin truly enter the HBM market?
If that day comes, I believe the valuation logic of the global storage industry may be rewritten Guys, CVX rose 5.55% today, currently at $1.387, continuing to recover from the historical low of 1.04 in early July. The logic behind the rise: CVX automatically reinvested at 29% annualized, AbcCVX staking up to 2.5x bonus—staking yields have increased significantly, holders are incentivized to transfer tokens into locked, and the circulating market is passively tightened. Analysts clearly state: once the lock-up curve continues to climb, supply-side scarcity will first be reflected in prices. The total supply cap is 100 million, with a current circulating ratio of about 92%; The original unlock cycle for teams and early investors has ended, but the protocol will continue to slowly add new mints alongside LP mining. Key price levels: Resistance $1.40-$1.42 (break out to $1.45-$1.50), support $1.30-$1.33 (break to $1.20-$1.23). Risk: The sustainability of protocol returns depends on the stability of Curve's TVL, and whether the staking APR can be maintained is key. Recent key indicators to watch—staking APR trends and staking growth rate. For assets that have dropped over 97% from their ATH and whose fundamentals are improving, focusing on value lock growth and staking APR is more important than focusing on candlesticks.

#BTC #Bitcoin #Trading #TechnicalAnalysis #Crypto📰 美伊谈霍尔木兹妥协！特朗普军事牌还攥着，BTC $65,382能冲吗？
事件概述
说白了就是，美国和伊朗正在接触，想把霍尔木兹海峡的通行问题谈拢。全球三分之一的海运石油从这过，谁控制了这里谁就掐住了能源命脉。但特朗普这边军事选项一直没拿掉，相当于一手谈一手亮剑。对币圈来说，至少双方在谈而不是直接开干，短期情绪上是好事。
深度解读
为什么这条新闻重要？
老铁们，霍尔木兹这事不是今天才有的。今年以来伊朗在该区域动作不断，市场一直在怕一个事：万一真封锁海峡，油价飙升，通胀反弹，美联储降息就彻底没戏了。降息预期一旦崩了，币圈流动性直接断崖。
现在美伊开始谈妥协方案，说明两边都不想真打。伊朗经济被制裁搞得够呛，美国也不想在大选年搞出中东全面战争。这是务实的信号。
讲真，今天盘面已经说话了。BTC回到$65,382涨了1.36%，ETH更猛直接$1,955.75涨了3.70%，资金在用脚投票。地缘风险降温 = 避险情绪回落 = 风险资产回暖，这条逻辑链很清晰。
但注意，特朗普说军事选项还在桌上。这不是废话，这是给谈判施压同时给自己留退路。如果谈崩了随时能升级。所以这个利好是有保质期的，别无脑冲。
对市场的影响
短期看，避险资金从黄金和美债里撤出来，部分会进风险资产。ETH今天3.70%的涨幅说明聪明钱已经在抢跑了，跑得比BTC还快，这通常意味着市场风险偏好在快速修复。
中期来看，如果谈判出实质进展，比如伊朗承诺不干扰航运，油价回落 → 通胀预期下降 → 降息预期回来 → 币圈迎来真正的喘息窗口。这条链路是通的，也是我在盯的主线。
但如果谈崩呢？说实话概率不高但不是零。特朗普的操作风格你们懂的，今天谈明天翻脸。真到那一步，BTC可能要回踩$62,000-63,000区间找支撑。
参考2020年初美伊那波冲突，BTC短线上下震荡超过5%，但地缘事件只是短期扰动，不改大趋势本质。这次大概率也是同款剧本——恐慌砸坑，然后V回来。
操作思路
🎯 影响预判
- 币种：BTC / ETH
- 方向：利多📈 预测涨
- 时长：BTC 12小时 / ETH 24小时
💡 短线思路很明确：别空。BTC回调到$63,500-64,000区间如果不破就是接货位，止损放$62,500下方。ETH今天这个走势非常有劲，站稳$1,955.75上方的话下一个目标直接看$2,000整数关口。但仓位控制在五成以内，谈判这东西一天一个说法，留好子弹防黑天鹅。

The lower Bollinger Band at 0.1477 is like the cutting board, slippery; the four-hour lower band at 0.1457 is the non-slip mat on the prep table—the market's main players are crouching by the stove, sneaking your stop-loss orders!
The main course (major coins) is like overnight broth now, steady but no surprises; this AGLD dish "Ginger and Scallion Stir-fried Liver and Kidney"—price dropped 2.11%, but the KDJ (here referring to RSI) at 35.66 is like the green stage before chili is fried in oil, it only smells good after stir-frying. Entry at 0.1431 is like the sliced kidney flowers that need to be quickly tossed in the wok; the first target 0.1563 is the crispness after being blanched, the second target 0.1580 is the final hot oil poured on, sizzling.

Five Core Bearish Logic for the July 27 Pullback 1. Short-term speculative heat completely faded, pure sentiment rally without fundamental support (core trigger). The previous day's rally relied entirely on overseas crypto bloggers announcing orders to attract retail investors chasing the highs. On July 27, with no cooperation or version updates, the influencer traffic heat quickly faded, and incremental funds instantly stopped. The project relies solely on a dance mining narrative, with stagnant user growth and no real token consumption scenarios, losing buying support and causing a decline. 2. High-level whales concentrate profit-taking, low liquidity amplifies pullback Liquidity accounts for less than 14%, while the top ten whales hold over 65% of circulating shares, leaving ample room for unrealized gains after rallying. Large players concentrated large selling, weak order depth, and a small number of sell orders could quickly break through key support levels, triggering panic and follow-selling among retail investors, creating a short-term stampede market. 3. Negative IP copyright continues to ferment, market trust declines. The dance IP copyright holder publicly clarified that it has not reached an official cooperation with the BEAT project. The project's false advertising narrative has been exposed, investors are worried about future project delistings and rights protection risks, and many holders panicked and reduced their positions and exited, further intensifying selling pressure. 4.

ChangXin Technology IPO: Under the AI computing power wave, a domestic variable emerges in the storage sector
While Google, Microsoft, and Meta are all revealing their AI capital expenditures, the storage sector welcomes a heavyweight player: ChangXin Technology officially listed on the STAR Market, with a first-day market value surpassing 3.3 trillion, becoming an unignorable "fourth pole" in the global DRAM market.
The AI boom has driven hype around computing power, servers, and optical modules, but ultimately cannot bypass the underlying storage chips. ChangXin's listing precisely adds the most critical domestic variable to the global storage landscape in the AI era.
The AI-driven storage market surge, ChangXin capitalizes on a differentiated dividend
In this round of AI computing power explosion, the first beneficiaries were HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), with Samsung and SK Hynix earning huge profits and shifting capacity toward high-end HBM.
However, demand for general-purpose DRAM is also growing—basic memory needs for servers, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics continue to rise. After the three giants moved capacity upward, a supply gap appeared in the mid-tier market. ChangXin accurately positioned itself in this window, rapidly scaling DDR5 and LPDDR5 products, with market share climbing from under 3% to 7.67%, and performance booming accordingly.
This is equivalent to the leading players competing for the high-end, high-margin market, leaving the mid-tier cake to ChangXin—an opportunity granted by the times.
66.6 billion yuan fundraising, expansion + R&D, targeting the next round of competition
This IPO raised up to 66.6 billion yuan, with core investments in two directions:
1. Expansion of 12-inch wafer fabs: continue increasing general DRAM capacity to capture more mid-tier market share, aiming for over 10% market share by 2026;
2. R&D of advanced processes and 3D DRAM: unable to adopt EUV due to equipment constraints, focusing instead on breakthrough 3D DRAM differentiation technology, attempting to overtake on next-generation storage technology to meet future AI storage demands.
Chain impact on AI tech stocks
Upstream equipment and materials chain: ChangXin's expansion will drive orders for domestic semiconductor equipment and material suppliers, further strengthening the domestic substitution logic;
Downstream server/terminal manufacturers: having an additional local supplier means more controllable storage procurement costs and a safer supply chain, a long-term positive for domestic cloud providers and consumer electronics manufacturers;
Storage cycle fluctuations: new capacity deployment may intensify price competition in general DRAM, potentially increasing industry cycle volatility, a double-edged sword for pure storage stocks.
To conclude honestly:
In the AI era, storage is as fundamental as computing power infrastructure. ChangXin's listing is not an end but the beginning of domestic storage's participation in global AI industry competition. The gate for high-end HBM is not yet passed, but at least it is now at the table.The divergence between BTC and cryptocurrencies has intensified, and market breadth has been compressed to extreme levels
Has the current market entered a structural phase where only a few stocks remain capable of outperforming?
The original data shows that among the 100 altcoins tracked, the ratio of rises/decreases is only 0.3, meaning that for every rise equals about three falls. Only 8 stocks showed positive volume divergence, while the remaining 92 stocks were in a state of continuous outflow. These 8 are JELLYJELLY, OPG, SLX, LAB, BSB, ALLO, CHIP, ZKP, while 92 brands including BEAT, EDGE, COAI, TRUMP, are generally under pressure. The data itself is a static cross-section, without specifying a time window, but it is sufficient to reveal the current pricing structure.
- Core changes in market structure: altcoins are experiencing net capital outflows with a very narrow width, indicating that incremental funds have not spread but are concentrated in a very small number of assets. This environment usually means that if BTC and ETH fail to drive a rebound in overall sentiment, the tail risk of the altcoin sector may be further released.
- Transmission logic: If BTC maintains volatility or moves slightly higher, it may further absorb limited risk appetite, causing counterfeit funds to continue concentrating on a few high-momentum targets, forming a "winner-takes-all" pattern. If ETH cannot break through key resistance, the logic of counterfeit rotation becomes even harder to hold.
- Bullish path: If BTC breaks out of the recent volatility range and increases volume, liquidity may spill over to ETH and the above eight bullish stocks, forming a local rebound. The condition is that BTC's daily closing holds steady and is accompanied by amplified net inflows into spot ETFs.
- Bearish risk: If BTC pulls back or moves sideways, the overall altcoins will continue to be under pressure, and the above 92 stocks may accelerate their decline. The risk signal is that BTC has not broken through previous highs, and the altcoin up/down ratio remains below 0.5.
Conclusion: Currently, market breadth does not support comprehensive long buying of counterfeit stocks; only a few stocks have independent momentum. Going forward, attention should be paid to whether BTC can effectively break out and whether ETH shows signs of following the rally, in order to judge whether the narrow structure will spread or converge.
Risk warning: Width data is a lagging indicator; extreme values may signal reversals but may also persist.

Seven Tech Giants Lost $800 Billion Overnight, Crypto AI Concepts Kneel First in Respect
Google just raised its 2026 capital expenditure cap by another $15 billion, with Q2 free cash flow turning negative at $5.9 billion. As a result, on July 23, the seven tech giants evaporated $797 billion in a single day, with Google down 7% and Tesla down 14.5%.
Next week, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon will release their earnings. The market isn’t just looking at whether revenue beats expectations, but at a single yardstick: You’re spending $190 billion/$145 billion/$200 billion a year—how much gross revenue is Azure/AWS/advertising AI actually bringing back?
Here are the three companies’ key cards:
• Microsoft: FY2026 CapEx guidance around $190 billion, Azure growth still 39%-40%, AI annualized ARR $37 billion (doubling year-over-year), but CapEx-to-revenue ratio is already three times that of the last cloud cycle, with free cash flow forecast cut in half to $25.3 billion
• Meta: CapEx raised to $125 billion–$145 billion, full suite DAP growth hitting the lowest since 2021, AI spending mainly on recommendation ads and self-developed chips, monetization path the most unclear
• Amazon: AWS growth back to 28% (highest in nearly 3 years), but quarterly CapEx $43.2 billion, up 85% year-over-year, annual around $200 billion, free cash flow forecast to remain negative for the full year
The logic is simple:
Chip stocks (NVDA/MU) sell the shovels; cloud giants use the shovels. Now the shovels are selling like crazy, but the users’ cash flow is bleeding—this is the real pricing behind Microsoft -2.3%, Amazon -4.2%, Meta -3.8% on July 24.
What this means for crypto:
Recently, $BTC has been stable, and AI Agent/DePIN tokens have been flying by riding the US stock AI hype, essentially an overflow of the big brothers’ narrative premium. If the big three continue to cut valuations after earnings, the first wave of AI clone concepts to be killed will be those with no revenue, pure narrative, and high FDV. Conversely, if the three companies’ guidance shows Azure/AWS growth plus Copilot paid user numbers holding up, capital will flow back from chips to platform stocks, risk appetite will return, benefiting BTC and mainstream first, and AI clones will get a second wind.
My own market sense:
If BTC doesn’t break 62k and ETH doesn’t break 1600, don’t rush to cut AI clones; but if any of the three continue to raise CapEx or give weak cash flow guidance, don’t get stubborn—delever first. Changxin, creating the impossible in A-shares

The milestone significance outweighs performance fulfillment; the real focus is whether it can catch up in market share and technological gap.
#长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量 [Graphic Observation | Central Bank Weekly Temperature] At 13:15 Beijing time, Jin Shi Article focuses on: The Fed's decision-making has shifted from "chair guidance" to "member games," making consensus extremely difficult.
Background summary: The market no longer believes in "verbal inflation fights," and U.S. Treasuries are forcing the Federal Reserve to reveal its cards. Analysts have two scenarios: one is that the committee collectively pushes for rate hikes, and Wash agrees with the trend; Second, Wash's current leverage to hold on for now, but future rate hikes are still needed.
Cross-asset snapshot: Spot gold 4,094.57 (+1.02%); EUR/USD 1.1406 (+0.33%); USD/JPY 163.56 (-0.18%). Gold, the euro, and the yen can simultaneously reflect interest rate expectations, dollar strength, and safe-haven demand, making them suitable external thermometers for crypto risk appetite.
Verification point: If gold strengthens and the US dollar strengthens in tandem, risk assets are more likely to be under pressure; If the dollar retreats and US stocks recover, BTC/ETH is more likely to follow the recovery in risk appetite.
Risk warning: If central bank caliber, PCE/CPI, or employment data exceed expectations, the above cross-asset observations may need to be reassessed. For market observation purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.#Gate.io Temp Worker
Gate's official team continues to claim that Robin, who connects with our ALD community, is an impersonator and a scammer. Here are several core questions that cannot be avoided. Please answer them directly:
1. If Robin is merely an external scammer and not a Gate staff member, an unauthorized impostor, what right does he have to complete the full Gate Alpha listing process and successfully list ALD tokens on the platform?
Gate listing uses an internal multi-layer approval mechanism, making it impossible for outsiders to operate on their own. If outsiders can casually impersonate employees to complete token listings, does this prove that Gate's internal permission management has completely gone out of control, allowing anyone to impersonate staff and lead project listings?
2. We will pay the USDT and ALD corresponding to the listed currency in full according to the matchmaker's requirements. If Robin is considered personal fraud, why did the scammer guide us to transfer funds that ultimately flow into the Gate system, and why did the token launch as scheduled?
Ordinary people commit fraud with the goal of embezzling funds without authorization; Moreover, the successful listing of tokens after this settlement is completely inconsistent with the logic of ordinary scammers.
3. Gate cannot simply use the phrase "the intermediary is a scammer" to unilaterally tear up the token listing agreement reached by both parties.
The successful launch of the token on Gate Alpha is an objective established fact; trading behavior and fulfillment results are real. They cannot enjoy the benefits paid by the project party and refuse to fulfill all agreed obligations on the grounds of "personnel impersonation."
4. We hope Gate will publicly disclose the complete approval process for the ALD launch of Gate Alpha and the internal handling staff.
If Robin has no official authorization, please explain: How did an external impersonator bypass all internal risk controls and approvals to complete the entire listing process? Does this mean there is a major vulnerability in Gate Alpha's listing channel, and all project teams face the risk of being lured by fake personnel?$BSP

#CXMTMemoryIPO #FOMCRateWatch #AIEarningsWatch #财报观察员: Can Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon stabilize the AI narrative? A new round of US stock earnings season is underway, with earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon being released one after another. The market is no longer blindly chasing AI concepts. Funds are asking the question: With sustained massive investment, can AI deliver tangible returns? Can the three giants still hold onto the main theme of AI growth?
First, clarify the differences in AI monetization paths among the three companies
Microsoft: The commercialization path is the clearest
Relying on the Azure cloud + Copilot ecosystem, AI annualized revenue continues to rise, with mature implementation for enterprise clients. The advantage lies in deep integration into the software ecosystem, where AI services can be directly embedded into existing products. The hidden danger lies in the continued increase in computing power infrastructure, with capital expenditures rising and continuously squeezing profit margins.
Meta: AI-empowered advertising is the main battleground
Relying on large models to optimize ad placements and boost content traffic, advertising revenue continues to recover. Self-developed chips reduce computing power costs but lack external cloud computing power sales. AI revenue heavily depends on the prosperity of the advertising market, and the potential for this sector is relatively limited.
Amazon: AWS computing power + self-developed chips dual strategy
AWS is the core supplier of enterprise AI computing power, and orders for Trainium's self-developed chips are steadily increasing. The advantage is a large customer base; The pressure comes from fluctuations in retail business profits, with large amounts of capital continuously invested in data center construction, making it difficult to see rapid profit margin improvements in the short term.
Core contradiction: speed of burning money VS speed of making money
Recently, Google's earnings report has sounded the alarm: a significant increase in AI capital spending, negative free cash flow, revenue beating expectations, and stock prices remain under pressure. Now that Wall Street has uniformly raised its standards, pure revenue growth is no longer enough to attract capital.
Next, the market will focus on two key indicators:
1. Can the growth rate of AI-related business revenue keep pace with the pace of capital expansion;
2. Whether management will raise the full-year capital expenditure guidance again.
Key signals extending to the crypto market
1. Tech giants are the global indicator of risk appetite. If the financial report proves that AI commercialization continues to materialize and sentiment in growth sectors warms up, it will indirectly benefit risk assets like BTC and ETH;
2. If multiple companies collectively raise spending and earnings guidance falls short of expectations, the market will re-question the long-term return rate of AI, valuations of growth stocks will come under pressure, and high-volatility assets will be suppressed simultaneously.
My view: Sector differentiation is now a done deal. Companies that can steadily convert AI into revenue and cash flow will continue to see valuations supported; Targets that only invest and cash out slowly will see their valuations continue to be digested. This round of earnings reports cannot directly kick off a full-blown bull market, but it will set the tone for the technology sector's style in the second half of the year.
What do you think: if the financial reports of the three major players fall short of expectations, will the rebound of mainstream coins be further suppressed?ANGRYMARK!💸 《资本地图｜Capital Map》 一张持仓图，看懂一种资本配置逻辑。 Appaloosa同时持有AI平台、芯片制造与电力资产，但真正拉开收益差距的，是Micron、SK海力士和SanDisk代表的存储周期。 David Tepper是美国知名对冲基金经理、Appaloosa Management创始人，长期以逆向投资和重仓周期性资产闻名。 他值得关注，不只是因为过往回报出色，更因为他的组合经常同时体现高集中持仓、宏观判断和严格的风险控制。观察Tepper的持仓变化，可以帮助投资者理解：顶级资金如何在高波动市场中选择少数高确信度机会。 Carbon Finance发布的David Tepper持仓图，记录的是Appaloosa在2025年第一季度末的组合。当时，最大的扇区是一笔名义价值占比30.03%的SPYX看跌期权，其后是$BABA 阿里巴巴、拼多多、$AMZN 亚马逊、京东和$META Meta。图中的期权按标的资产名义价值计算，不能直接理解为基金真的拿出30%的资金做空市场。 这Today is July 27, and this week is the heaviest in the past few months, with four tech giants plus the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision all packed together. The market direction basically depends on these five days.
First, let's lay out the schedule clearly.
Microsoft and Meta are both set for after-market on July 29.
Apple and Amazon are pushed to after-market on the 30th, with an FOMC interest rate decision result coming out in the early morning of July 30 (Beijing time). Currently, the federal funds rate is held at 3.5% to 3.75%.
The market generally expects no change this time, and the dot plot from the end of last year suggests there is only about one rate cut left for the whole year.
In other words, hoping for the Fed to ease to boost valuations is basically a dead end this year.
The real powder keg is a number in the earnings reports: capital expenditure.
These four plus Apple are expected to have combined AI capital expenditures in 2026 exceeding $600 billion, more than 60% higher than last year's historical peak. This scale is already equivalent to the entire annual GDP of Singapore.
The problem is that spending is getting fiercer. Microsoft's 2026 fiscal year capital expenditure guidance is about $190 billion, far above analyst expectations; Meta has raised its guidance to start at $115 billion, nearly double last year. Barclays estimates this will shrink its free cash flow by nearly 90% year-over-year this year.
The market's attitude was already previewed last week. Google's earnings were clearly not bad, but because of the marginal increase in capital expenditure, its stock was still hammered down 4 to 5 points.
This signal is very clear: spending more on AI no longer automatically equals a positive. Investors are starting to pressure these giants to explain when returns will come. The Philadelphia Semiconductor index is heading toward its worst monthly performance since 2022, with money fleeing to industrial and energy stocks in the real economy.
So how to view this week?
Don't focus too much on whether revenue and EPS beat expectations—that's almost guaranteed.
The real things to watch are whether Azure and AWS cloud growth is accelerating, where the free cash flow turning point is, and whether management dares to cap capital expenditures.
Whoever can convincingly turn spending into returns will hold firm; those who can't, like Google's 5% drop last week, is just a trailer. #USStockSuperTopic The crypto community is constantly discussing US stocks, macro policies, and liquidity, leaving people dizzy. I simply compared the data on Bitcoin and US M2 money supply and reached a conclusion:
Setting aside short-term fluctuations, the overall U.S. money supply has been rising over the long term, and the price center of Bitcoin $BTC is steadily rising, indicating a long-term interlocking relationship between the two.
After bottoming out in 2023, M2's year-on-year growth rate gradually rebounded and has now returned to a positive growth range of 5.6%. In the short term, M2 cannot accurately predict Bitcoin's price movements, but over a longer cycle, the tightness of dollar liquidity directly affects the long-term valuation of scarce assets like Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is not just a highly volatile speculative asset; in large cycles, its value storage logic against fiat currency oversupply and its binding to global liquidity are far deeper than people imagine.$ETH is showing notable relative strength today.
With Ethereum gaining roughly 3× more than BTC over the past 24 hours, the move deserves attention. The easing of geopolitical tensions has improved overall risk sentiment, but ETH's outperformance appears to be driven more by positioning and capital rotation than by a new fundamental narrative.
Historically, capital often rotates into ETH before the broader altcoin market catches momentum. Whether this is the start of that familiar pattern or simply a short-term catch-up move remains to be seen.
The macro backdrop still calls for caution.
Stronger-than-expected jobless claims data gives the Fed less urgency to cut rates, keeping real yields elevated and limiting the liquidity boost that risk assets typically benefit from.
On top of that, Google and Tesla earnings could have a meaningful impact on broader market sentiment. Any disappointment from major tech names could weigh on the current risk-on environment.
For now, the bounce is encouraging—but I'd prefer to see more confirmation before calling it a lasting trend.
Just my market view, not financial advice.
#DailyOrbit
#CXMTMemoryIPO
#FOMCRateWatch #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议
At 2 AM Thursday, FOMC. The data before this meeting is already conflicting.
First, look at the CME FedWatch data: a 63.7% probability of keeping rates unchanged in July, and a 36.3% probability of a 25 basis point hike. Two weeks ago, this number was only about 10%. It's not the market guessing wildly; oil prices and employment data together have pushed the rate hike expectations back up.
On July 24, US initial jobless claims dropped to 187,000, the lowest since 1969. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil briefly hit $100 per barrel intraday.
Waller has abolished forward guidance, and the market has lost the Fed's "signpost." Previously, the market could judge direction from statement wording; now it can only guess from data and officials' speeches.
The three key things to watch in this meeting are:
First, will there be a hike in July? A 36.3% probability means "hike" is no longer an option to ignore. Although the mainstream expectation is still to hold steady, this probability itself shows the market is repricing.
Second, what about September? If there is no hike in July but the statement is hawkish, the expectation of a September hike will further heat up. CME data shows the probability of a 25 basis point hike in September has already exceeded 55%.
Third, Waller's wording. Will he remove "accommodative stance"? Will he mention inflation risks? Will he give any directional hints? Since taking office, he has refused to give clear guidance; whether he breaks the silence this time is the biggest variable.
The drop in oil prices has indeed eased inflation concerns in the short term, but the labor market remains strong. The good news is oil prices have fallen about 15% from their peak, giving the Fed some room to observe. The bad news is employment data is too strong, making it difficult for the Fed to send dovish signals when the labor market is this hot.
For the crypto market, the most critical thing is not "whether to hike," but "what signals are released."
No hike but hawkish → market prices in a September hike early → limited short-term rebound. Hike → directly tells the market inflation is tougher than expected → risk assets under pressure. No hike and dovish → short-term rebound, but Waller's style most likely won't do this.
Uncertainty itself is the biggest risk. A Fed that gives no signposts turns every rate decision into a guessing game. The answer will be revealed at 2 AM Thursday.
$BTC $ETH $QQQ 2014: Mt. Gox collapses, BTC at $200, bottoming out after 3 weeks.
2018: BitGrail collapsed, BTC at $3,200, bottoming out after 2 weeks.
2022: FTX collapsed, BTC at $16,000, bottoming out after 2 weeks.
2026: BitMEX collapses, BTC $63,000, bottoming out in 2-3 weeks?
Every time, the market says, "This time is different."
Every time, the market is wrong.
The difference is: the market caps of BTC in the first three rounds were $2B, $20B, and $300B respectively. Now it's $1.3T.
Same rules, but on a larger scale. $BTC $ETH $SOL#美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议
This week is definitely the "super eye of the storm" on the macro front!
My judgment: The Federal Reserve's rate decision meeting early Thursday morning will directly determine whether the market's main theme for the next month is "inflation trading" or "recession panic."
Reason one: The dual game of geopolitics and employment is reshaping expectations. The ceasefire expectation between the US and Iran has caused oil prices $CL to drop sharply, directly easing inflation concerns caused by rising energy prices; but initial jobless claims last week were only 187,000, below expectations, indicating the labor market remains very resilient, so the Fed dares not ease easily.
Verifiable data: The crypto fear and greed index has risen back to 30, a relatively high level within the month; meanwhile, BTC has reclaimed the $65,000 mark, which is a direct vote of market confidence in a "soft landing."
My trading approach: Before 2 a.m. Thursday, I will reduce contract positions, only keeping a base position to observe. If Powell's speech leans hawkish, there will likely be a spike, which is a good opportunity to buy back chips rather than chase the rally.
Reason two: The capital expenditures of tech giants are another hidden bomb. Earnings reports from XMSFT, Meta, and XAMZN are concentrated on Wednesday and Thursday; where they spend their money (AI infrastructure or buybacks) directly affects the Nasdaq and crypto market sentiment linkage.
Verifiable data: The fifth round of about $900 million creditor compensation from FTX will start on July 31. Although the market has digested part of this potential selling pressure, it remains a Damocles sword hanging overhead.
My trading approach: Focus on the market reaction after earnings releases. If tech stocks plunge but BTC holds up, it indicates funds are seeking a safe haven, and I will try to go long on the "digital gold" attribute; otherwise, I will follow the US stock rhythm to short.
One last reminder: There are too many variables this week—oil prices, employment, earnings, and rate decisions overlapping—volatility will be very high. Don't bet on a one-sided move; good defense is the key to surviving until next week. The #美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 FOMC meeting is the core event in the market this week.
Oil prices retreating, employment data remains strong, and earnings season is progressing in tandem—these variables will be concentrated in pricing this week. Oil prices have fallen from above $100 to around $90, inflation concerns have eased, risk appetite has improved, BTC has climbed back above $65,000, and ETH has risen above $1,900.
Earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon will be concentrated on Wednesday and Thursday, with capital expenditure guidance being the market's focus. If capital expenditure remains high, AI-related assets may find support. FTX's fifth round of creditors' compensation of about $900 million will begin on July 31, and the flow of this fund is also worth watching.
The Fed's rate decision itself is unlikely to be unexpected, but the key lies in the wording of the post-meeting statement regarding inflation and employment. If the stance is hawkish, the market may reprice rate hike expectations; If dovish, risk appetite may further recover.
$BTC $ETH $CORE The project side keeps making empty promises and bluffing every day, but now they never mention the four truths behind the buyback:
1. The original buyback was just empty promises of acquiring new customers from start to finish, completely failing to establish a solid foundation
At the end of last year, the official heavily promoted its 2026 core strategy: all SatPay and LST staking fees would be used to buy back CORE in the secondary market, creating a value flywheel.
But now, the current situation is completely unable to fulfill the promise:
1. Core cash flow product SatPay continues to be delayed
Originally planned for global commercial and physical debit cards in the first half of the year, only scheduled beta testing has been available today, with no large-scale merchant or offline payment scenarios, no stablecoin fee revenue, and no profit to buyback.
The so-called Bitcoin Power Grid is just a packaging term for its own ecosystem, not an external partnership, with no new paying users and zero continuous cash flow across the entire ecosystem.
2. No regular large-scale buyback records can be found on-chain
Formal BTCFi project buyback meetings publicly disclose wallet addresses and monthly buyback amounts, but Core never dares to publicly disclose buyback accounts; There are only a few small market-making orders on the board, not the promised revenue buybacks. Even if a small amount of coins are bought back, they won't be burned. In the end, they flow back into the foundation pool, and can still be sold off later, making it impossible to achieve price support through deflation.#长鑫科技上市，全球存储竞争添变量
No one expected that the true new stock king of the A-share market would be born today!
Changxin Technology's IPO completely blew up the scene, with a market value reaching 3 trillion.
It decisively crushed ICBC, thoroughly rewriting the landscape of domestic storage!
I also tried to participate in the new stock lottery, but was reminded that my balance was insufficient.
With Changxin successfully landing on the STAR Market, the global DRAM market officially enters an era of competition among China, the US, and South Korea. The long-standing monopoly of SanDisk $SNDK, Hynix $SKHYNIX, and Micron $MU has been completely broken. Changxin holds a steady 8% market share, ranking fourth globally, and its share continues to rise.
Looking purely at fundamentals and valuation, Changxin is really attractive. Its performance will explode in the first half of 2026, with revenue and net profit growth all increasing by multiple times. A 25x PE ratio is basically a bargain in today's tech stocks and is seriously undervalued compared to overseas storage giants.
However! The more the public is celebrating, the more I want to pour cold water. A good company does not mean you can blindly buy it now.
Personally, I think there are two points to pay attention to:
First, the chip structure is extremely poor. Nearly ten million people participated in the new stock lottery, with over seven million retail investors winning shares, resulting in extremely dispersed chips. It's all retail investors holding together, with no major holders locking in shares. After the price surges, they will only sell off against each other, unable to withstand disagreements.
Second, the circulating shares and unlocking risks are huge. On the first day, only 6.73% of shares are circulating, and there are no price limits for the first five days. Small caps are easily driven crazy by sentiment, but the subsequent unlocking pressure is enormous. Referencing SMIC's trend, after the IPO surge, there is a long-term downward drift caused by dispersed chips and unlocking sell-offs.
In summary:
Changxin is definitely a top-tier asset, supported by domestic storage substitution and a super cycle, with a definite long-term market.
But in the short term, sentiment has already exhausted all the positives. This is a sentiment peak, not a value peak. The IPO will inevitably see intense turnover. Ordinary investors must not buy at the high point. Patience to wait for a pullback to digest chips is the safest approach.
Looking at today's market, $BTC and $ETH are slowly climbing, the green margin has already been liquidated. It is recommended not to short and not to fight against the main trend!$SHIB This wave is like a whale selling—no one pays attention or plays. With 20 million yuan in in, the market is boosted. Once retail investors enter and take over, they keep selling, with a total of about 100 million yuan sold and exited. Now that the hype is high and there are too many long orders, if he wants to push the market up again, it's not about 20 million; he should have left. The current hourly trading volume is only a little over 200,000, so there's no reason to push it too riskily or the front end is too heavy. It's not easy to take off
#交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard
$BTC $ETH $BTC did not fall following BitMart's shutdown news, but trending posts on the square have already labeled the event as a "chain of exchange closures." The official announcement confirmed a phased withdrawal, and withdrawals are still open.
The timeline is also clear: new registrations, deposits, and new orders will stop on July 26, trading will stop on August 26, and the official shutdown will begin on January 31, 2027.
The platform's own risks are indeed quickly priced in, with the BitMart page showing BMX prices falling by about 55%. However, BTC has still risen 1.25% in the past 24 hours, while contract open interest has dropped by about 2.8%. This is more like an orderly exit by a single platform combined with deleveraging, and there hasn't yet been a market-wide run.
Next, watch whether BitMart withdrawals remain smooth and whether BTC can remain stable as holdings decline. If the former shows abnormalities and the latter weakens simultaneously, it indicates that risks are beginning to spill over into the market.

Oil down, jobs resilient, BTC warming up — do you think Warsh leans dovish or hawkish Thursday? And are you reducing risk into this stacked week or staying in? 👇Recently, the popularity of RWA tokenization for real-world assets has been spreading, but funds are no longer just focused on familiar targets; instead, they are beginning to explore underlying public blockchains aimed at traditional finance and real enterprises. After a long period of silence, $HBAR has made a significant rebound. Unlike public chains that focus on retail investor ecosystems, HBAR's core audience is institutions, and its track logic is unique. Let's break it down today. Let's start with the underlying background: Many public chains prioritize retail trading, DeFi, and meme strategies, but Hedera (HBAR) takes a completely different approach, positioning itself as a commercial public chain for traditional large enterprises and financial institutions. Online transfers are fast and fees extremely low, and the governance requires the joint participation of multiple multinational corporate alliances, with a more comprehensive compliance framework compared to most public blockchains. The project has long been deeply rooted in the institutional market, focusing on on-chain demand for real assets such as bonds, real estate, and supply chain finance, making it one of the key infrastructure in the RWA sector. For a long time, the market's focus was on AI and MEME hotspots, while HbarAR, which leans toward B2B, lacked short-term speculative topics and was overlooked by investors in the long run. Current market situation: As the RWA narrative continues to heat up, the sector's profit-making effect is spreading. Funds began to fluctuate between high and low, searching for second-tier public chains that have been trading sideways for a long time and whose valuations have not yet fully recovered. HBAR ended its prolonged range of fluctuations and saw a surge in volume. The market is beginning to pay attention to a key logic: traditional finance companies wanting to enter on-chain assets will most likely prioritize the underlying network with stronger compliance attributes and corporate alliance endorsement. Core logic breakdown of this round of gains: Yue LaiDon't just focus on AI in the US stock market tonight.
What could truly change the strength of sectors is the gap in crude oil.
WTI crude oil has quickly fallen from around $90 to $84.8, as the market is giving back the risk premium caused by geopolitical conflicts.
This has three layers of impact on the US stock market tonight.
1. The energy sector faces profit-taking pressure
Short-term resistance for crude oil is between $85.5 and $86.
As long as the price does not close back above $86, the bullish logic for energy stocks will weaken, and $XOM and $CVX are likely to see profit-taking at high levels.
If crude oil falls below $84, the next support is around $83.
2. The airline and transportation sectors see cost relief
The most direct beneficiaries of falling oil prices are airlines.
But even if $UAL strengthens in pre-market, I wouldn’t chase it right at the open. The key is to observe whether it can stay stronger than the broader market in the first 30 minutes after the open, while oil prices remain below $85.5.
Only if oil prices fail to rebound above $86 will the relative advantage of the airline sector be easier to sustain.
3. Tech stocks still depend on three events this week
This week includes the Federal Reserve meeting, inflation data, and major tech company earnings.
The drop in oil prices helps ease inflation pressure but does not directly translate to a broad tech stock rally. The real drivers remain interest rate expectations and earnings guidance.
Key observations for tonight:
Crude oil resistance: $85.5–$86
First support: $84
Second support: $83
Logic invalidation: regaining and holding above $86
If crude oil stays below $85.5, energy is weak, while airlines and consumer sectors relatively benefit.
If crude oil regains and holds above $86, the sector rotation logic for tonight needs to be reassessed. #CXMTMemoryIPO CXMT (ChangXin Memory) just debuted on China's STAR Market at a 3.31 trillion yuan valuation — now the largest stock on China's A-shares 🔥
The global memory story just got a third player. A week ago: Anthropic signed chip supply deals with Samsung and SK Hynix, Nvidia invested in Korea's Naver. AI orders were concentrating around the Korean duo. Now CXMT's listing brings Chinese capacity officially into the pricing system 👀
The timing is deliberate. KOSPI even rose 1.7%+ early morning then reversed — the market felt the new competition entering the room 📉
DRAM contract prices and expansion pace are now the two numbers to watch. More supply sources = potential pricing pressure on Samsung and SK Hynix's premium 🤔
Anthropic's orders went to Korea. A-share capital went to CXMT. Is there enough AI memory demand for three players to win — or does one get squeezed out as the market matures? 🫠
Does CXMT's entry actually reshape global DRAM pricing, or is this another domestic champion story that stays contained within China's market? And are you positioned in this trade anywhere — Korean ADRs, tokenized US chips, or A-shares? 👇Today, the entire tech circle and capital market focus is on Changxin Storage, which just debuted on the STAR Market.
The opening was explosive, soaring 471.59% compared to the 8.66 yuan issue price, with an opening price fixed at 49.5 yuan. The intraday highest increase once exceeded 530%, with extremely fierce battles between bulls and bears, a price difference of over 17 yuan, and a trillion-yuan market cap instantly formed. Single winning users earned over twenty thousand yuan per share.
This extreme profit effect has fully ignited the entire storage sector's heat.
But I noticed a very common misunderstanding.
The vast majority of retail investors only focus on the soaring market sentiment,
follow the hype shouting bull market and tenfold gains, but they can't distinguish the underlying logic of the storage track at all.
The companies casually mentioned daily like Changxin, SK Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk
seem to all be storage companies, but in fact, their tracks are completely separate, their profit logics vastly different, and the benefiting market trends totally distinct.
Mindlessly mixing them together to follow speculation will most likely result in buying at the top.
Setting aside market heat, let's talk about the core industry fundamentals.
The storage industry has never been a single category; it is fundamentally divided into two major parts:
DRAM operating memory, which clears data when powered off, supporting phones, computers, and AI servers;
NAND flash storage, which retains data long-term, suitable for hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards.
The gap among all storage companies starts from these two categories, which is also the root cause of their different stock price trends and market logics.
Let's first talk about the market-exploding protagonist, Changxin Storage.
Many are misled by the IPO surge, mistakenly thinking it covers all storage dividends.
In reality, its business is extremely focused, deeply cultivating the DRAM memory track, and completely avoiding NAND flash.
As the only domestic IDM leader that has independently developed and produced DRAM chips, its core value is not about following AI hype,
but a solid domestic substitution logic.
In recent years, overseas giants have continuously cut general DRAM production, crazily shifting capacity to high-profit AI high-end HBM memory.
A large gap has appeared in global general memory capacity.
Changxin just fills this gap, supplying DDR5 and LPDDR5X in batches, steadily securing stable orders from consumer electronics and basic servers.
Here, I must warn everyone about the biggest pitfall.
Changxin currently does not have mass production capability for HBM; related products are still in the R&D sample delivery stage.
It cannot yet benefit from the most profitable and core HBM dividends in this AI storage boom.
Its rise logic is domestic substitution growth plus industry cycle resonance,
distinct from overseas storage giants violently boosted by AI, representing two completely different valuation systems.
Next, let's look at the most familiar SK Hynix.
It is the absolute core beneficiary of this AI storage market and the true track leader.
Unlike Changxin's single focus, Hynix runs dual lines, covering both DRAM and NAND.
Its real trump card is the monopolistic HBM high-bandwidth memory capacity.
Most of the HBM used in Nvidia's high-end AI graphics cards and AI servers comes from Hynix.
The extremely high premium and supply-demand imbalance have supported its super market performance over the past two years.
For Hynix, ordinary memory and flash business are just the basics.
The real driver of stock price and profit ceiling has always been HBM capacity and pricing.
This is the fundamental difference between it and Changxin: one benefits from domestic substitution, the other from AI high-end computing power dividends.
Next is Micron Technology.
As the only US original storage manufacturer, it is the most versatile yet unstable player in the industry.
It also runs dual lines DRAM+NAND, covering general storage, HBM, automotive-grade, and industrial-grade flash.
Its product line covers all niche scenarios, with a much more balanced business layout than the other two.
But its biggest risk is not the industry cycle but geopolitical policies.
Import-export controls and supply chain restrictions can affect its shipments and performance anytime, causing extreme stock price volatility.
Its HBM progress is between Hynix and Changxin.
It lacks the Korean company's monopolistic capacity and the domestic company's policy protection.
Its trend follows the global storage cycle and international situation more, with maximum uncertainty.
Finally, the most confused SanDisk.
A serious reminder: SanDisk must never be compared to Changxin or Hynix.
This is the most common rookie mistake.
SanDisk never does DRAM memory business; it only does NAND flash.
Our daily-used USB drives, TF cards, and consumer SSDs are its core business.
It was acquired by Western Digital early on, later spun off independently, focusing deeply on the consumer storage track.
It is completely disconnected from AI memory, server DRAM, and HBM markets.
It does not benefit from AI dividends or domestic substitution dividends.
Its trend only follows the consumer flash supply-demand cycle.
Mixing it with the first three original storage manufacturers is a fundamental misunderstanding of the track.
After discussing the core differences of these four companies, let's look back at Changxin's explosive market performance today.
Objectively, a large part of today's surge is driven by speculative sentiment.
Extremely low float, scarce domestic DRAM leader status, and extreme bullish market sentiment
combined to create a market detached from the usual industry cycle.
Currently, the market shows very clear divergence between bulls and bears.
Retail investors are crazily chasing high, gambling on tenfold gains, while institutions remain rational and restrained on valuation.
High turnover at the top, subsequent volatility and differentiation are inevitable trends.
Don't blindly go all in on the storage track just because the sector is broadly rising and new stocks are surging.
Different tracks, logics, and dividends mean individual stock trends will continue to diverge.
Short-term speculative sentiment will eventually fade.
Those who can stand firm at high levels will always be those with pure logic, realized capacity, and real performance support.
#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？ Let me share the story behind the creation of this article:
The topic was actually quite accidental. That day, I saw the Korean KOSPI open high and then turn down, and I thought the reaction behind this was interesting—what were Korean institutions trading? After figuring it out, I realized this was a variable in the global storage landscape, so I wanted to write about it.
The hardest part of writing was "not turning it into a financial press release." How much it rose on the first day, market cap, and data are easy to pile up, but no one reads just data. I kept asking myself: What does this mean for Samsung and SK Hynix? What does it mean for Nvidia, the buyer of storage? Pulling out this logical chain made me feel the article was somewhat interesting.
What I most want to express is: these are actually signals of the global competitive landscape. Storage pricing power is shifting from a duopoly to a three-party game. This change won't happen in a single quarter, but the starting point is today.
After publishing, someone asked me, "So should I buy Samsung or short it now?" This question made me realize many people, after reading, are still looking for a simple trading instruction. I think this is exactly what I want to avoid. Analysis is not the answer; it helps you think through the problem clearly.
DYOR!This could be a pivotal week for $BTC . History suggests FOMC weeks often bring heightened volatility. Over the past year, 8 of the last 9 FOMC meetings have been followed by a notable Bitcoin pullback, with an average decline of around 10% in the week that followed. Interestingly, before last month's meeting, BTC was trading near $66K—almost the same level we're seeing now. It later dropped nearly 12% to $58K, marking fresh cycle lows. The only exception came in May, when Bitcoin defied expecta📊Tonychoo | Crypto Institution Daily (2026.07.27)
📰 Today's highlights
1️⃣ ETF spot withdrawals diverge sharply from derivatives volume expansion:

🔍 In-depth on-chain and technical observation
1️⃣ Severe Divergence Between Spot and Futures Demand:
BTC futures demand indicators have turned positive, but spot demand remains negative. Because spot selling exceeds futures buying, overall demand is in negative territory. This round of rally is essentially derivatives squeeze rather than genuine buying. In terms of liquidity, USDC maintained net inflows (US institutions are holding up defense), while USDT saw slight outflows (low non-US activity).
2️⃣ Cycle pattern and RSI recovery:
The 30MA and 90MA of the MVRV ratio are rapidly converging, and after the June death cross, a low-level golden cross is about to occur. The Bull Score Index rose to 30 (having escaped the extreme bear zone of 10); The LTH/STH SOPR ratio has broken through 1, and the relative profit ratio between long-term and short-term holders has returned to balance.
3️⃣ On-chain Tokens and Physical Activity:
"Little whales" holding 100~1,000 BTC have returned to unrealized profits, which historically has been one of the signals confirming a rebound.
4️⃣ ETH/BTC Structure Analysis:
The ETH/BTC exchange rate has converged to the end of a nearly 9-year cycle.
💬 In short
Derivatives leverage and on-chain technical indicators are recovering at low levels, but ETF outflows and negative spot demand have exposed the weakness of a lack of buying capital. Before the $66,000 resistance hit, blindly chase the rally is avoided.

#美联储周四凌晨公布利率决议 Changxin Technology's push for a STAR Market listing signifies that China's DRAM industry is moving toward a larger capital market. With its local supply chain, massive domestic demand, and pricing strategy, Changxin may indeed capture more of the mid- to low-end market, and may even force Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron to readjust their pricing. However, low prices are only part of the competitive edge; the real battles in the memory industry also include manufacturing processes, yields, HBM technology, customer certifications, and equipment acquisition. Especially under the Trump administration's emphasis on "America First," semiconductor policy may still focus on protecting American manufacturing and supply chains. In the past, the U.S. has imposed a 50% Section 301 tariff on Chinese semiconductors, and has provided Micron with subsidies up to about $6.165 billion through the CHIPS Act, while imposing export controls to restrict the flow of advanced semiconductor equipment and HBM-related technologies to China. If Changxin rapidly expands its global market share in the future, the U.S. may still raise tariffs, expand the restricted list, or further tighten equipment and technology exports. My View: Therefore, I believe Changxin will be a major variable in the global storage market, but in the long run, Micron, $SAMSUNG, and $SKHYNIX still have advantages in technology, customers, and supply chains. If you are optimistic about AI driving memory demand but don't want to put all your eggs in one basket, you can consider $DRAM to diversify across multiple global memory companies and reduce policy and technical risks for a single company.
The above content reflects only personal views and market observations and does not constitute any investment advice. Investments should still be made based on your own risk tolerance, financial situation, and research decisions$SKHYNIX The Q2 earnings report will be released on July 29. The core contradiction lies in the battle between extremely high fundamental expectations and the pressure to sell positions with high leverage. The market is currently in a wait-and-see mode.
Institutions forecast single-quarter operating profit of 64.1 trillion KRW, a year-on-year increase of nearly 600%, surpassing its total profits for the full year 2025 and establishing the explosive potential of the HBM structural cycle. An estimated operating margin of 75%-77% confirms the strong pricing power of high value-added products; however, the stock price has already drawn more than 30% from its peak, reflecting market concerns about the clearing of capital leverage.
The transmission path of event risk mainly focuses on rebalancing position structure and risk appetite. Retail investors' high-leverage funds enter concentriously before the earnings report milestone, amplifying short-term volatility and intensifying the short-term disconnect between price trends and fundamentals.
If the profit margin remains steadily above 75% after the earnings report and high leverage does not trigger a stampede, the stock price is likely to trigger a rebound scenario. This scenario requires observing the absorption of selling pressure on the day of the earnings report. If the volume volume breaks through the pullback trendline without liquidation stamping, the high valuation clearance phase will end.
If the earnings report is realized and triggers profit-taking exit and forced liquidation of leveraged positions, the stock price will trigger a second bottoming scenario. At this point, it is important to closely monitor the degree of stampede by high-leverage funds. If the pullback further expands and breaks below key support, the deleveraging process will be forced to prolong.
The signal of the upward scenario fails is that after the positive financial report materializes, turnover rates surge, but prices have not reached local highs, indicating that long funds are unable to absorb profit-taking. The downward scenario failed, with selling pressure being absorbed by strong buying immediately after the earnings report was released, with leverage ratios dropping rapidly and prices stabilizing after a stabilization.
The most important variable to watch in the next seven days is the speed of leveraged capital deposition and turnover rate before and after the July 29 earnings release.
#SPCX因星舰发射与解禁引发多空分歧 #RWA永续月交易量4700亿美元 #参议院CLARITY法案下周或表决: Positive Moments or Shortcoming?A month or two ago, those who asked on the timeline whether Google, Micron, and Intel were already out of stock have gone silent now. When prices rise, they are bullish; when prices fall, they are bearish. What should be done?
The odds are indeed not as high as during the US-Iran conflict three months ago, when I straightforwardly said buy the dip.
Now it’s the left side; the closer to the valuation floor, the more worth buying in batches. Valuation and investment strategies have been shared in the subscription.
No leverage, no all-in, no all-out. Skin in the game.
Last April, when $GOOG was 140, $INTC 20, and $MU 70, no one could clearly say how these companies would make money three years later. Now it’s clear, the valuation multiples haven’t changed, but people are afraid to buy.
This is the definition of cognitive difference. The same valuation multiples last year meant uncertainty. Now buying means buying something already validated. The visibility of the denominator is completely different, yet the market demands the same or even higher discounts. The risk premium that should be compressed hasn’t been compressed.
So what is falling now? It’s the leverage from the excess returns between late March and May. Crowded trades clearing out, quarterly balancing, mid-year locking in floating profits.
These things have nothing to do with the company’s cash flow over the next three years. Investing in Capex now is infrastructure; airports must be built first before tickets can be sold one by one. I have shared that cash flow is very likely positive by 2028.
But institutions are assessed quarterly and must deliver relative returns within the window. Retail investors don’t have to play by these rules; time is the only structural advantage for retail investors, emotion is the biggest shortcoming, and the vast majority don’t understand the companies they invest in—this is what Burry rightly said.
Take a look at the articles I’ve shared about company fundamental analysis, which also include valuation and buyer records. Most people happen to give up on it when prices get cheap.
A stock price drop after a good earnings report doesn’t mean the fundamentals have been falsified. Strong stocks entering high-volatility consolidation don’t mean the long-term trend is over.
The long-term value of many excellent companies is precisely what keeps increasing during the decline.
Skin in the game. True investing is not about avoiding all volatility but knowing why you deserve to endure this volatility.From a medium- to long-term geopolitical perspective, both the US and Iran have strong economic incentives to ease tensions. Coupled with the implementation of a ceasefire memorandum and ongoing multilateral mediation, a phased reconciliation is an inevitable trend, and the geopolitical premium on crude oil will continue to decline.
The core anchor for global asset pricing remains the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Considering the current sticky inflation, resilient non-farm payrolls, and the latest dot plot guidance, there are only two possible policy paths within the year: maintaining the current high interest rates or resuming rate hikes; there is absolutely no basis for rate cuts.
The new chairman, Waller, sent a clear hawkish signal in his debut. His monetarist philosophy and tough anti-inflation stance are consistent over the long term. Even if there is no rate hike in this round of meetings, the tone remains hawkish. Market expectations for easing should not be overly relied upon. This is my personal opinion for reference only. With dual channels in the strait and Ukraine's reckless attack on Iranian resource vessels, today's information density is still acceptable
This basically matches my analysis last week: as the US-Iran situation develops so far, either going all-in and going all in will make things uncertain, with Russia-Ukraine and US-Iran war fighting in chaos, increasing the probability of S3
Either withdraw and both sides take a step back, returning to technical negotiations and entering a prolonged phase of diplomatic mediation
As long as he's not crazy, he won't choose to go all in. Trump may be a bit crazy, but he's not a war fanatic—that's predictable!
A rapid drop in energy prices was expected, but the details reveal that the price gap between international crude oil and US crude oil is rapidly narrowing
