😱 $12.7! You're talking about $KORU—Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares, 3x long Korea ETF. But this price doesn't match the market: July 17 closed at $18.65, currently around $17.20 before the open. The 12.7 you see may be an extreme intraday low.
More importantly, it once soared to $64 in early June, has now dropped nearly 80%, and in July alone, it plunged nearly 64%—this is a "massacre" of leveraged ETFs.
📊 Support and resistance levels
Currently, $17.20 has fallen below all short-term moving averages (MA5=18.94, MA10=19.84, MA20=21.29). First support is at $17.60-$18.01 (classic pivot S2/S3), second support is at $3.72 (52-week low). The first resistance above is $18.86-$19.27, and the second resistance is at $24.00 (MA50). Technical indicators are bearish across the board—RSI is only 32.75, and all 12 moving averages are signaling a sell.
✅ Positive factors
🔹 South Korea's Q2 GDP was revised up quarter-on-quarter to 1.1%, with semiconductor exports in June surging 25% year-on-year. SK Hynix's Q2 revenue surged 257% year-on-year to 79.32 trillion KRW.
🔹 Elliott Wave Theory shows KORU is falling toward the key buy range of $259-422 (pre-split price), and options traders have started positioning for August-September call options.
🔹 The South Korean government's "Corporate Value Enhancement Plan" continues to advance, with the trend of improving medium- to long-term shareholder returns unchanged.
❌ Bearish factors
🔻 Although SK Hynix's Q2 results hit a record, both revenue and profit fell short of Wall Street expectations, with its stock plunging over 14% in a single day. Samsung and SK Hynix together account for over 50% of KOSPI, and when both fall, there is "nowhere to hide."
🔻 The South Korean government has clearly stated it will not rescue the market for now, and the Finance Minister publicly apologized for the hasty launch of leveraged ETFs. Regulators are considering restricting retail investor participation and lowering leverage multiples.
🔻 The daily rebalancing mechanism of triple-leveraged ETFs brings long-term losses—even if KOSPI rebounds, KORU will find it difficult to recover lost ground.
📈 Performance guidance
$KORU does not release earnings itself, tracking the 300% daily return of the MSCI Korea 25/50 Index. Its fate depends entirely on KOSPI and its two heavyweight stocks—Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. SK Hynix's revenue surpassed 100 trillion won for the first time in the first half, but the market's pricing of AI expectations has become extremely harsh, with any "below the highest expectations" being heavily sold off. KORU's June monthly return was -28.5%.
🎯 Wall Street's target price expectations
As a leveraged ETF, Wall Street does not directly target KORU's price—it is not a "stock" in the traditional sense. However, VT Markets, based on Elliott Wave analysis, considers $259-422 (pre-split prices) as a "major technical buy zone." Currently, around $17 (about $569 before splitting), it remains well above that range, indicating analysts believe there is still significant downside potential. Thirty-four institutions are cautious about the overall sentiment toward KORU's holdings, and the overall rating of the Korean market has recently been downgraded by multiple institutions.
⚠️ In short
$12-17 $KORU is a typical victim of the "AI bubble bursting." Triple leverage + daily rebalancing + high concentration = a devastating combination. If you want to buy Korean semiconductors at the bottom, prioritize non-leveraged ETFs (such as EWY); If you insist on touching KORU, treat it as an intraday trading tool and never hold it long-term. #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon deliver data tonight. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks are experiencing sharp volatility Latest news, Meta's earnings report released tonight can be described as a tale of two extremes. Revenue hit a historic high of $60.8 billion, a year-over-year surge of 28%, but because the AI spending plan was slightly revealed, the stock price was hammered by more than 6.8% after hours.
The core issue is that Meta quietly raised the lower bound of its annual capital expenditure from $125 billion to $130 billion, while keeping the upper limit at $145 billion. Although it's just a slight adjustment, combined with disappointing figures like net profit of $15.8 billion falling short of expectations and free cash flow shrinking to only $784 million, the market immediately exploded. For this AI arms race, Meta has already spent tens of billions of dollars on chip procurement, building data centers, and recruiting top talent. Recently, it also partnered with BlackRock to raise $12 billion to build a data center in Texas. Investors are starting to vote with their feet: no matter how good the revenue looks, if profits can't keep up, how long can a money-burning, unprofitable model last? $META $XMETA #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #Zcash主网激活Ironwood升级，上线新屏蔽池
Zcash has officially completed the Ironwood mainnet upgrade and launched the brand-new Ironwood shielded pool, with the core fix addressing the cryptographic vulnerability previously found in the Orchard pool.
A brief summary of the key changes:
The old Orchard shielded pool prohibits new funds from being added and only supports withdrawals; all users who want full privacy transactions need to manually migrate their ZEC to the new Ironwood pool. The Orchard pool previously held about $1.7 billion in market value, and the migration process relies entirely on holders' proactive actions.
Fixing the trust crisis and reshaping the fundamentals of the privacy sector
After the Orchard vulnerability was exposed, ZEC experienced a significant pullback, and the market worried about the risk of counterfeit tokens. This upgrade completed formal verification and re-implemented supply verifiability, marking a major risk resolution for the project. For privacy coins, cryptographic security is the foundation of valuation.
Short-term uncertainty exists; do not interpret this purely as positive news
The pace of fund migration is unpredictable. If a large amount of capital remains stuck in the old pool and migration willingness is low, market concerns will persist; meanwhile, the privacy sector faces long-term regulatory pressure. The upgrade is a fundamental technical fix and is unlikely to immediately trigger a sustained one-sided rally.
My independent view:
From a long-term perspective: the public disclosure of the crisis and rapid rollout of the upgrade plan reflect the development team's responsiveness to some extent, which is positive for the long-term narrative.
From a short-term perspective, beware of "buying the rumor, selling the fact." The upgrade's completion does not mean an immediate price increase; the focus should be on continuously tracking the scale of on-chain fund migration and the progress of exchange wallet adaptation.
Privacy coin market trends depend not only on technical upgrades; the bigger future variable remains the regulatory stance of various countries.
What do you think? Can this upgrade restore market confidence and drive a recovery in the privacy sector? Federal Reserve Decision Interpretation: Rates Remain Unchanged, but Internal Hawkish Divisions Widen Significantly
This FOMC kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged as expected, but the voting structure showed a rare divergence in nearly a decade, with three members voting against and advocating a direct 25bp rate hike. This result clearly shows that there is no consensus within the Federal Reserve, and the risk of an inflation rebound remains highly vigilant among some policymakers.
The chairman's decision to pause rate hikes does not mean the committee generally believes inflation risks have been cleared. Currently, the core variable in the market is no longer whether a single meeting will adjust interest rates, but whether subsequent policy meetings will resume discussions on rate hikes. If inflation indicators such as CPI and core PCE rise again, the hawkish voices rising this round will continue to amplify, further tightening policy expectations.
This meeting sent a key signal: policy rates remain unchanged, but opinions within the committee are divided, and the margin for error in policy continues to narrow. This has led to a shift in market trading themes, with the initial focus of capital games being on when to start cutting interest rates and how long restrictive high interest rates will last.
In the short term, high-frequency inflation and employment data, as well as expectations for the September policy meeting, will remain the main themes of capital competition. Policy expectations will continue to fluctuate repeatedly, driving up global asset volatility. Risk assets are likely to continue a wide range of volatility, making it difficult for a one-sided trend to quickly form. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #美联储即将公布利率决议 Let's start with the core patterns (the fixed trend of Middle East military conflicts affecting the crypto world)
Combining the market performance of recent US-Iran frictions, the sudden news of war is a short-term bearish factor that prevails, generally divided into two stages:
1. News just broke (short-term at the moment)
1. Global funds immediately began a "safe haven flight," prioritizing traditional safe-haven assets like the US dollar and gold, while selling highly volatile crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
2. Market performance: Bitcoin was the first to experience a slight decline, followed by Ethereum and altcoins falling even more. High-leverage contracts experienced mass liquidations (both long and short trades), and market volatility was significantly amplified.
3. Core reason: Nowadays, with a large number of institutional funds participating in the crypto world, when geopolitical panic hits, institutions quickly reduce positions in risk assets. The crypto market trades 24/7 without interruption, quickly digesting negative news.
2. Subsequent trend divergence
• If the conflict cools down quickly and does not continue to escalate: after the negative sentiment is digested, the market will quickly bottom out and rebound; When news of easing tensions in the Middle East emerges, mainstream currencies tend to rebound and rise.
• If the conflict continues to escalate and affects global crude oil transportation: A sharp rise in oil prices will drive up global inflation expectations, and long-term funds will use Bitcoin as an inflation hedge, which could actually lead to a rally. $BTC $ETH [JPMorgan Says Korean Leverage Is Cleared, Has the Semiconductor AI Tech Stock Really Bottomed?!]
Latest report from JPMorgan: Korean leveraged ETFs have basically been liquidated, with AUM plummeting from a peak of $50 billion to about $17 billion, no longer posing a problem; hedge funds have also deleveraged about 90%.
The forced selling wave is nearing its end, significantly easing the mechanical liquidation pressure previously faced by storage chip leaders (Samsung, SK Hynix).
JPMorgan strategist Mixo Das and others believe a phase bottom is forming, sparking renewed calls to buy MU, MRVL, INTC, and others.
The good news is real: the biggest short-term killer, technical selling pressure (leverage stampede), has indeed taken out a large portion.
The market can finally shift from "being forced to sell" back to focusing on fundamentals.
But dialectically speaking, this is just the "end of deleveraging," not the "bottoming of AI valuations!"
From the perspective of Schumpeter's innovation cycle:
AI has reached the first critical phase—major companies' free cash flow is zero, capital expenditure narratives fail, and the market shifts from "burning cash to build roads" to "whether there are cars running and if it can break even."
Upstream hardware is entering maturity with slowing growth; downstream applications have yet to scale significantly.
The next 10-18 months remain a transition window, with volatility and valuation cool-downs as the main theme, not a one-sided reversal.
Korean leverage clearance only removes the amplifier; the core contradiction (return validation) remains.
Indices may stabilize, but individual stocks will continue extreme differentiation—those with real moats survive, pure concepts continue to be crushed.
Ordinary investors should not get carried away by "historical bottom" sentiment.
In summary:
The deleveraging tide is positive, but the AI cycle is still in the "falsification window."
Technical bottoms can be bought, but fundamental bottoms require application realization.
During emotional highs, using options to participate smartly is better than going all-in and living longer.

#财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊今夜交卷 Everything comes from Apple's price hikes across all lineups | Complete traceability of the epic storage collapse
Looking back at SanDisk's $SNDK, SKHYNIX, and Micron's $MU nearly halved in over a month, all the triggers, logic breakdowns, and capital tramplings all stem from Apple's global announcement of a price hike on June 25.
Before that day, storage was still in the most frenzied phase of the AI bull market: Micron delivered explosive earnings that night, with gross margins breaking 84%, HBM orders scheduled through 2027, and the entire market unanimously agreed: "AI is unstoppably grabbing capacity, storage is always in short supply, and prices only rise and never fall." Bullish sentiment peaked, and SanDisk and SK Hynix stock prices kept hitting new all-time highs.
On the same day, Apple unexpectedly announced global price increases across the entire Mac, iPad, Vision Pro, and HomePod series, with the highest price increase for Chinese Macs reaching 3,500 yuan. Tim Cook publicly pointed the soaring costs to the storage chip shortage. This announcement directly burst the AI storage bull market bubble that had lasted for more than half a year.
1. One sentence shattered the core logic of the rise, shattering faith instantly
The sole foundation behind this round of storage bull run: AI computing power is rapidly expanding capacity to squeeze consumer-grade storage capacity, with supply shortages expected to persist for a long time.
But as the world's largest and most bargaining consumer electronics buyer, even Apple can't withstand the pressure from rising DRAM and NAND prices, and has to pass costs on to end consumers. The market instantly reached a consensus:
The relentless price hikes in storage have already begun to backfire on end-user demand, leading to a shrinkage in PC and tablet shipments, weakening consumer storage procurement demand, and completely confirming the narrative of "permanent shortage."
Previously overlooked negative factors such as overcapacity, large-scale manufacturer expansions, and the release of domestic Changxin capacity were all repriced by capital overnight.
2. Multiple negative factors resonated, marking the turning point from a surge to a crash that day
As news of Apple's price hike spread, the U.S. officially sued Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix for jointly manipulating DRAM prices. Two major negative factors stacked together, shattering the bulls' mindset.
The US storage sector opened high but then plunged sharply; The next day, Asia-Pacific stock market SK Hynix plunged 9.56%, while South Korea's semiconductor sector plunged and triggered a brief circuit breaker, officially marking the start of a global storage sell-off.
From this moment on, the upward cycle completely ended, and the main bear market downward wave officially began.
3. All subsequent bearish drops, bottom-fishing trapping, and chain liquidations on long positions were all chain reactions from this event
1. Expectations reversal triggered collective institutional reductions
After the bull market logic failed, large funds no longer locked up long-term stocks, and profit-taking positions at high levels fleeed regardless of cost, creating sustained selling pressure.
2. Leverage negative cycles amplify the downward trend
The continuous decline in spot prices has driven OKX's massive storage perpetual contract long positions to be liquidated, with programmatic market closing orders continuously dumping orders. Even with bottom-fishing and support orders piling up at the order book, the downward momentum cannot be stopped. SanDisk fell from a high of $2,354 to a low of around 1,000 yuan, with a maximum drop of over 53%, while SK Hynix and Micron simultaneously experienced deep corrections.
3. All subsequent negative news is merely a catalyst for the decline, not the cause
Later, cloud providers' AI capital expenditures fell short of expectations, SK Hynix's earnings missed expectations, and South Korea's large-scale expansion plans were all secondary factors accelerating the decline. The real turning point was already set the moment Apple officially announced the price increase.
4. The most practical insights from the trading side
Many traders who repeatedly bottom-fished and got stuck on the halfway point of the storage market this round essentially failing to recognize the decisive signal of the cycle turning point.
Apple's price hike is not an ordinary consumer electronics price adjustment, but a landmark event marking the industry's supply-demand landscape and the shift between bull and bear trends.
Once a trend turning point is established, no matter how many passive bottom-fishing orders, how good the price, or how heavy the buying pressure below, it cannot reverse the bearish trend.
Retail investors are used to watching the market to guess the bottom and top, while top funds always focus on the core turning points of the industry chain. This round of storage crashes fully proves that a major event that changed industry expectations could rewrite the market trajectory for months or even years.

#交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard 📉 $KAITO Support and resistance levels
On the 4-hour chart, the 50-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is at $1.10, forming core dynamic support, while the 200-period EMA at $0.83 maintains an overall bullish structure. Deeper defensive zones below are around $0.68–$0.70. The immediate resistance above is at $1.32 (upper Bollinger Band), with more critical resistance in the $1.40-$1.50 range—this is the overlap of the chip-dense zone and the psychological round number.
🔍 Market maker movements on the chain
In the past four days, six wallets have withdrawn a total of 4.452 million $KAITO (about $5.61 million) from Binance, coinciding with a 35% price increase. Previously, whales/institutions had already withdrawn 1.79 million KAITO (about $3.99 million) from Binance and deposited all of them into Kaito staking. Since April 16, one address has staked a total of 3.59 million KAITO tokens (about $6.89 million), with an unrealized profit of about $2.7 million.
It is worth noting that despite frequent large withdrawals and staking, the spot market's cumulative volume increase (CVD) still favors the seller, indicating that sell orders consistently outnumber buy orders. Open interest has risen to $70.88 million, a one-year high. The high leverage environment means that if sentiment reverses, volatility will be extremely high.
✅ Positive factors
🔹 Kaito Pro has launched a stock section, tracking sentiment, price, and research indicators for over 3,000 global stocks, and is expected to expand further verticals. InfoFi's narrative has shifted from a single SocialFi incentive model to a broader AI information analysis.
🔹 Over the past 30 days, the social media mindshare view count rose from 42,463 to 174,768, showing a significant return in community attention. The increase over the past 7 days is 48.2%, the past 30 days by 102%, and the past 90 days by 142.7%.
🔹 About $54.82 million worth of KAITO have already been deposited into platform staking addresses, and the lock-up reduces market circulation selling pressure, reflecting the long-term confidence of some holders.
❌ Bearish factors
🔻 On August 20, about 32.6 million KAITO will be unlocked, accounting for approximately 7.63% of the supply released at that time. Previously, on July 20, 17.8 million tokens (worth about $16.7 million) had already been unlocked, with core contributors holding 6.94 million shares. Consecutive unlocking events continue to put pressure on the supply side.
🔻 The on-chain AI quantitative tool track is highly homogeneous, and KAITO lacks exclusive stable profit strategies, making it difficult to retain long-term paying traders. It belongs to the AI niche theme sentiment coin, with the market highly tied to the AI sector's popularity. Once the theme retreats, it may quickly test the support below.
🔻 Derivatives market open interest hits a one-year high, but spot CVD remains seller-biased—this divergence between long and bullish positions means a large number of speculative long positions lack spot buying support, and if prices break below key moving averages, it could trigger a chain of liquidations.
🧠 Summary
On-chain, there is a migration of funds from exchanges → on-chain wallets →staking," which is a medium-term bullish signal. However, ongoing supply pressure from token unlocks, weak spot market buying, and fierce competition in the AI sector pose headwinds that cannot be ignored. Currently, the price is tightly running along the upper band of the Bollinger Bands. If volume surges above $1.32, it would open up space above; if volume shrinks and stagnation rises, the possibility of a pullback test of $1.10 or even $0.83 cannot be ignored. Light positions, stop-losses, and not chasing highs—these are the basic survival rules for highly volatile altcoins. $KAITO #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon deliver data tonight. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations The latest news: Castle Labs' latest report reveals a harsh reality: crypto projects are very profitable, but they have little to do with the people holding the coins.
Since the beginning of this year, crypto protocols have generated about $7.42 billion in revenue, with six leading protocols—AAVE, Hyperliquid, Pumpfun, Uniswap—collectively cutting $726 million in the first half of the year. But strangely, most token prices don't align with fundamentals at all, and even go against them. Where did the problem lie? The report directly points out two bloody loopholes: first, the continuous issuance and unlocking of tokens continuously dilutes holders' rights; Second, a large amount of incentive spending is included in "income."
Even though Hyperliquid has burned over 47 million HYPE and Pump has completed over $315 million in buybacks—even with such real money buybacks and deflationary operations, the token still fell about 60% below its issue price. What does this mean? Between protocol profitability and token price increases, there are several hurdles separating it: value return mechanisms, unlocking selling pressure, and equity structures. Rushing in just by focusing on the agreement's revenue figures is most likely taking over the project for the project. $HYPE $AAVE #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard Target locked. Just after the sandstorm, the crosshair of the scope pressed onto the letter signed by 134 banks, like a reading marking wind deviation.
These snipers in suits aren't here to shoot—they're here to push sandbags. They want to block the rifling of yield-generating stablecoins and push interest rates into the banks' foundations. The revision of Section 10404 aims to trim the edges of interest and rewards, forcing funds back into the magazine of local loans. The warning is direct: tens of billions of dollars in firepower will evaporate from the banking system, like the silhouette of an enemy disappearing through a scope.
I adjusted the secret position to cover the wind offset. Atkins is optimistic; the window before the August recess is like a smokescreen covering the retreat. Market linkage? XSNDK trembles on its trajectory, its shadow suppressed by the CLARITY Act's warhead. This target isn't the main target under my trigger, but its trajectory parameters have changed—the bank lobby is the ballast, stablecoin yields are the fuse. Now the fuse has been dismantled, but the tension remains.
Observation: Banks use tens of billions in loan equity as bulletproof vests, forcing Congress to amend the bill to keep their shooting positions. Stablecoin issuers are looking for cover; the volatility range of XSNDK is a new bunker trench. There's no perfect profit-loss ratio; I won't enter. No matter how fat the sparrow is, it's not prey unless it flies past the center of the cross line.
After the wind deviation is corrected, the prey is still behind the cover. and so on.
#ClarityActBankPush 【HYPE：回购销毁叙事偏正面，高收入持续性是关键】
HYPE基本面叙事偏正面，但短线不宜忽略收入波动风险。Hyperliquid过去24小时产生约207万美元协议手续费，并销毁21,080枚HYPE；累计销毁已达4,610万枚，占最大10亿枚供应量的4.61%。收入产生与销毁执行同时出现，使供给收缩的逻辑有了可量化支撑。
这组数据的重要性不只在于单日销毁价值约116万美元，更在于销毁不是孤立动作，而是与协议手续费直接对应。累计销毁规模达到供应上限的4.61%，说明这一机制已形成可观察的历史轨迹；对于HYPE而言，市场会更关注协议活动能否持续转化为稳定的代币消耗。
筹码结构的核心逻辑是，若手续费维持在较高水平，销毁会持续压缩可供流通的代币总量，供给端的边际变化会更清晰。但这并不自动对应价格单向表现，因为销毁速度依赖协议收入，而收入又可能随交易活跃度变化；单日高收入不能直接外推为长期常态。
后面就看协议手续费能否在更长周期保持、销毁数量是否随之稳定累积，以及最大供应量与实际流通筹码之间的变化。若收入显著回落，销毁节奏放缓，当前供给收缩叙事的支撑力度也会减弱。
以上仅为个人观点分享，不构成任何投资建议。市场瞬息万变，交易盈亏自负。[ETF: Retail investors shift to cautious allocation tools, not a signal of a full exit]
ETF-related capital flows are relatively positive, but overall caution should be exercised for risk assets. According to Vanda Research data, retail investors saw their largest single-day net selling of stocks since March 2020 on Tuesday, but did not completely leave the stock market, instead net buying the Roundhill Memory ETF; This is more like a portfolio restructuring after a contraction in risk appetite, rather than indiscriminate sell-off.
The most important fact is that the record sell-offs were mainly concentrated in a few stocks, and the researchers clearly pointed out that capital outflows from the entire market were not outflows. Individual stocks have reduced their holdings and ETFs have seen net purchases, reflecting that some retail investors still want to maintain equity exposure, but are placing greater emphasis on diversification and reducing the impact of volatility in single targets. This makes the interpretation of "funds withdrawing" seem excessive.
From the perspective of liquidity and chip structure, funds moving from individual stocks to ETFs may reduce marginal buying of some highly concentrated targets in the short term, while also enhancing the role of thematic or combination tools in supporting capital flow. Whether ETFs can continue to absorb this allocation demand depends on whether subsequent market volatility persists and whether investors view current actions as temporary hedges rather than changes in long-term allocation patterns.
From here on, it depends on whether net selling of individual stocks continues to expand, whether net inflows into ETFs can be maintained, and whether funds remain in equity ETFs. If even ETFs continue to flow out, the current "funds still in the market" support logic needs to be reassessed.
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.[MSFT: Copilot's integration and upgrade are on the positive side, but the timing of deliveries remains to be seen]
MSFT's short-term narrative is positive, but it is not advisable to chase the rally solely based on expectations of "super apps." Microsoft confirmed it will integrate chat, programming, and AI agency capabilities into Copilot within the year, signaling that its AI product line is moving from a single tool to a unified entry point; However, between product vision and commercialization, there are still two hurdles: implementation pace and user adoption rate.
The key point is that this statement does not add just one feature, but integrates Copilot chat, GitHub Copilot, and proxy capabilities into the same experience, clearly covering both consumer and enterprise scenarios. Nadella positions itself as a shift from a chat assistant to a collaboration platform and automated agent. If integration goes smoothly, Copilot's usage paths and product collaboration space are expected to expand.
The valuation gap depends on whether "integration" truly reduces user friction across multiple AI tools and brings clearer payment and retention performance. Incorporating programming capabilities into the same product as enterprise agency capabilities theoretically helps increase product value density; But integrating features doesn't mean users are willing to pay immediately, nor does it mean demand in different scenarios will increase simultaneously.
Afterwards, it will depend on the specific product forms within the year, the actual scope of openness between enterprises and consumers, and whether more comparable usage and commercialization signals are disclosed after integration. If the release date or experience integration falls short of expectations, the initial narrative heat may fade before the fundamentals do.
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.THREE 的代码在继续动，但真实需求还没有动。它最吸引我的仍是“给 AI 代理一个 3D 身体，再用按次付费连接技能”；目前只值得观察，因为工程进展还没变成用户和付款。

高风险研究记录，不是买卖建议。#美联储即将公布利率决议
The Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates, but can the crypto community really breathe a sigh of relief this time?
The result is out: the Federal Reserve maintains the interest rate unchanged, continuing to hold at 3.50%—3.75%.
The unexpected rate hike that the crypto community feared the most did not happen, which on the surface is indeed a negative factor being priced in.
But what really concerns me is that this time, 3 voting members demanded a 25 basis point rate hike.
In other words, although the Federal Reserve did not take action this time, internal concerns about inflation have become very apparent.
To be honest, this result can only be considered half positive for BTC.
No rate hike gives the market a chance to catch its breath; however, if oil prices and inflation continue to rise, the risk of a rate hike in September still hasn't disappeared.
So next, don’t just watch whether BTC surges instantly.
What really matters is whether this rebound can hold, and whether funds will return to ETFs and risk assets.
My judgment is:
In the short term, there may be a negative factor priced in rebound, but it is far from the time to confidently chase the rally. $BTC $ETH The latest news: Robinhood's newly released quarterly report card highlights a dual contrast. Overall assets hit a new high, with revenue reaching $1.31 billion and net income surging 48% to $573 million. But when you dig into the crypto business, a chill hits you—crypto trading revenue plummeted 38% year-on-year, leaving only $100 million.
This contrast is quite worth examining: the total crypto trading volume during the quarter actually reached $40 billion. Breaking it down, $18 billion was Robinhood App's own, and the other $22 billion came from the newly acquired Bitstamp exchange. If money is being transferred but fees are not kept, it means either the fees have been driven down, or the user's trading structure is leaning toward low-frequency or low-fee products.
Additionally, Robinhood has not stopped expanding its digital asset footprint. The public mainnet Robinhood Chain has launched, and tokenized US stocks have been introduced to qualified users in over 120 countries. On one hand, traditional crypto trading revenue is shrinking; on the other, new infrastructure and new product lines are rolling out. Robinhood is clearly shifting its focus from "making a living from transaction fees" to "building its own on-chain ecosystem." During this transition period, the income structure is rock and fast, which is actually normal. $HOOD $XHOOD #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon will hand over their papers tonight
U.S. Stock Technical Side: After FOMC, the market confirmed weakness, negative gamma continued to expand. After the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, U.S. stocks saw a significant pullback. The SPX closed down 1.52%. In the hour before the decision was announced, over $30 million in buying pushed the index near its intraday high, but it was quickly sold off, plunging more than 125 points in the last hour, forming a typical bullish trap.
The biggest current market change comes from the gamma structure SPX, which has fallen below the key 7350. Negative Gamma is continuously moving toward lower strike prices. The rapid increase in negative Gamma around 7300 and 7200 means market makers need to continue hedging accordingly. Short-term market volatility may further amplify, and downward momentum remains.
SPY SPY has fallen back to the previously anticipated 725–731 support area, which also serves as triple support formed by the daily support, the 21-week moving average, and the overlap of key historical positions. However, the overall trend still maintains a bearish structure of Lower Highs & Lower Lows (one top lower than the last, one bottom lower than the bottom). Before a clear signal of stopping the decline appears, blindly bottom-fishing is not recommended. If it falls below 725, the next important support should be at 697.
QQQ's performance is clearly weaker than SPY's, having fallen below the key 686 level and has also fallen below the 21-week moving average. Even if there is a short-term technical rebound, the higher probability is that it will be a Dead Cat Bounce. The next important technical support should be around the EMA 200, 648, and 637.
VIX VIX closed at 20.49, up more than 12% in a single day, climbing back above 20. However, from the perspective of options Gamma structure, positions above 20 are mainly concentrated around 30 and 35, with relatively limited resistance in between. This means this round of panic seems to be entering its final stage. If the VIX starts to fall later, the market will also see a technical rebound.
After IWM Russell 2000 (IWM) fell below 290, the next support is to watch 285 and the EMA 100 at 281.54. For the first two weeks, it has been oscillating between the EMA 20 and EMA 50 (intraday traders are lucky—they open high and move low every day, buying puts is very comfortable), then today it broke below the EMA 50. The next target is EMA 100 at 281.54. When it reaches EMA 100, don't chase short sellers—there's a high chance a rebound. If the price rebounds below the EMA 20, go short, and eventually see the EMA at 200 268 or the weekly EMA at 50 at 263. Currently, total Gamma exposure has reached -$1.62 billion, close to the extreme level of about -$2 billion over the past year. Historically, when negative Gamma approaches its extreme and prices further dip into the 280–285 range, bearish sentiment is often near its limit, followed by a strong contrarian bounce.
Software sector becomes the direction for capital rotation. Against the backdrop of pressure on AI hardware and semiconductors, software has become one of the few sectors that has strengthened against the trend. Adobe rose 5.68% that day, with substantial positive Gamma accumulating around the 260 level. If it successfully breaks through the resistance zone of recent months, it could challenge 300 above. ServiceNow rose 4.68% and is currently testing the 115–120 resistance zone. The positive Gamma with high strike prices continues to strengthen, indicating that funds are gradually rotating into the SaaS software sector.Guys, ASP surged 23.55% today, current price $0.01306. The surge was triggered by the official buyback of 46.11 million ASP (accounting for 20.05% of the initial supply) + first-year unlocks of frozen foundations + 12-month delay in team unlocks—these signals were amplified under the oversold + low circulation structure. ASP is a Binance Alpha initial project, strategically invested by YZi Labs, with 650,000+ users, and its fundamentals are far from empty. However, the total supply is 1 billion tokens, with only about 25.93% in circulation, 74% still locked in positions, and the top five addresses accounting for 81%, with a Gini coefficient close to 1. Technically, the rating remains "Sell," with all 14 moving averages bearish. Key price levels: Resistance $0.015-$0.016, $0.018-$0.02; Support at $0.010-$0.011, $0.008-$0.009. This is not a fundamental reversal, but a pulse rally driven by low circulation + oversold + news. Fast in and out are the bottom line; don't treat pulses as trend reversals. Do you think this wave of ASP can last?

1. Basic decision results
Benchmark interest rate maintained: 3.50%~3.75% unchanged
Fifth consecutive pause in rate hikes/cuts, maintaining a high interest rate range
Voting split was significant: 9 votes for maintaining unchanged, 3 votes against
Three hawkish members demanded a direct 25bp rate hike this time, the most dissenting votes against a rate hike in a single meeting since 2016, representing intense internal Fed disagreement on anti-inflation
New institutional rules implemented
No dot plot or economic outlook report (SEP) released this time; new Chair Wash officially cancels forward guidance, no longer informing the market in advance about future rate hike or cut schedules, all policies fully adjusted dynamically according to economic data
2. Core points from Chair Wash's press conference (overall hawkish)
1. No retreat on the inflation bottom line (most critical)
The 2% inflation target has no flexibility and will not be relaxed; inflation decline is a long process, not solvable in a few weeks
Plain statement: If inflation remains high, raising rates is the most effective solution and rate hikes can resume at any time
Concerns over two major inflation risks: Middle East geopolitical conflicts pushing up oil prices, AI computing infrastructure boom driving up storage chips and hardware prices, fearing commodity price increases spreading to the whole society and causing inflation to rebound again (source: Sina Finance)
2. US economy and employment assessment
US economy still steadily expanding, with significant corporate capital expenditure and productivity improvements; employment cooling slowly, unemployment rate stable, no recession risk for now (source: Federal Reserve...)
The stronger the economic resilience, the less need for rate cuts, instead giving the Fed room to continue high rates to suppress inflation
3. Interest rate path: no clear market guidance
Refused to answer whether there will be a rate hike or cut in September, no commitment to future policy direction;
Did not acknowledge current phase as a "pause in rate hikes cycle," only defined as continuous economic data assessment phase, no rate cut window currently
Balance sheet reduction pace remains unchanged, continuing to tighten global dollar liquidity
4. Communication reform intent
Deliberately vague statements to reduce market pre-betting, avoid funds speculating on exchange rates and stock markets based on verbal forecasts, making monetary policy more flexible to respond to inflation fluctuations
3. Immediate global market reactions during the press conference
US stocks: sharp plunge
Dow Jones down 2.19% (over 1100 points drop), Nasdaq down 1.74%; semiconductor and AI tech stocks led declines (Micron storage down nearly 10%), high rates suppress growth stock valuations (source: Sina Finance)
US bonds: yields rise, dollar initially falls then fluctuates stronger
10-year US Treasury yields rise, dollar index stabilizes slightly, safe-haven funds flow back to dollar assets
Gold: surged then retreated, overall under pressure
Korean won and Korean stocks directly linked (your key focus)
4. Deep impact on Korean stock market (KOSPI/KOSDAQ) + Korean won
Korean stocks are among the global markets most sensitive to Fed liquidity, with a clear transmission chain:
1. Short-term direct impact (July 30 Korean session open)
Dollar strength expectation continues → Korean won under sustained depreciation pressure
Won weakness forces Bank of Korea to passively maintain high rates, keeping domestic corporate borrowing costs high and domestic demand weak; meanwhile, foreign investors holding Korean stocks see exchange rate depreciation erode dollar-denominated returns, accelerating foreign capital sell-off
Global tech valuations suppressed → core Korean stock sectors plunge
KOSPI weights over 30% Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix storage chips; AI semiconductors are growth sectors, under Fed high rate environment, tech stock valuations continue to be adjusted down, directly dragging down the market
Market sentiment weak, leverage-induced sell-off risk remains
Korean retail investors highly leveraged in stocks, combined with US stock plunge and hawkish Fed double negative, KOSPI and KOSDAQ likely to continue volatile downward trend
2. Mid-term subsequent trend dividing point
If August US CPI and nonfarm payroll data warm again: Fed rate hike probability in September rises → dollar surges, won plunges, Korean stocks continue bearish
If August inflation and employment cool significantly: rate hike expectations fade, dollar falls back, foreign capital returns to Korea, Korean semiconductor stocks see a phase rebound
5. Simple summary of this press conference tone
Hawkish hold pattern: no rate hike on surface, but speech focused on inflation, retaining rate hike options, completely dispelling market hopes for rate cuts this year, overall tightening atmosphere strong, bearish for global growth stocks and emerging market equities (Korean stocks hit first), bullish for dollar and US bonds.The biggest global macro variable this week is the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision. As U.S. Treasury yields and crude oil prices both soared, Wall Street institutions collectively revised their expectations: the Federal Reserve will maintain a hawkish stance, and the high interest rate environment will last longer than the market expects. This expectation directly suppresses the upside potential for the stock market and crypto sector throughout the year. The historical pattern is clear: during high interest rate cycles, risk assets find it difficult to sustain a bull market, so funds tend to hold cash and fixed income products, reducing high-volatility allocations to crypto and tech stocks. Recently, Bitcoin has been continuously consolidating sideways and unable to break out of its range, essentially due to insufficient liquidity + macroeconomic suppression. Today, U.S. stocks and tech stocks plunged sharply, further confirming that funds are withdrawing from risk sectors. High-growth sectors such as AI, storage, and computing power collectively pulled back in valuations, while corresponding crypto sectors such as $WLD, AI concepts, and storage-related tokens continued to weaken, comprehensively reshaping the sector's valuation logic. Currently, the crypto sector has entered a period of macro window competition, with no incremental liquidity, no policy support, and no new narrative to ignite the market—the entire process is a cycle of rotating existing funds. Before the Fed's statement is implemented, the market will not choose a clear direction, only continuing to fluctuate, shake out, and harvest short-term leverage. Looking ahead, as long as expectations for high interest rates do not fade, large-scale bull markets in crypto are unlikely. Overall, the market remains volatile and structurally volatile, with only local sector opportunities and no broad-sweeping rally.On July 30, semiconductor equipment giant Lam Research released a financial report that caused its after-hours stock price to jump 6.58%. The numbers themselves are impressive: in the just-concluded fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue was $6.72 billion, with earnings per share of $1.82, both beating market expectations. But what truly excited investors was its forecast for next quarter, with a revenue guidance cap of $8.5 billion and earnings per share as high as $2.30, while Wall Street had previously only expected $7 billion and $1.81 per share. The gap is the gap in expectations. This guidance is almost a clear message to the market: wafer fab equipment spending has not cooled down, and is even rising. $LRCX Lam Research's reasons are not new, but they are strong enough. AI data center construction, storage chip demand, and overall semiconductor capital expenditure—these three forces are still driving the business forward. This is actually a recurring narrative in the hardware chain this year, but the key point is that as an equipment supplier at the very top of the supply chain, Lam Research's order expectations better reflect real expansion intentions than chip design companies. $SNDK An interesting contrast is that after SK Hynix's financial report, Wall Street analysts focused on asking about the intensity and sustainability of capital expenditures for HBM capacity expansion, somewhat cautiously about whether heavy asset investment can be sustained. Lam Research's optimistic guidance is, to some extent, a response to such concerns: at least equipment orders are still coming in, and capital expenditures are not interrupted. Following this line, Lam Research is not an isolated case. From Dell and HPE to MarvellFederal Reserve Decision Interpretation: Interest Rates Remain Unchanged, but Internal Hawkish Divergence Widens Significantly
As expected, the FOMC maintained the benchmark interest rate unchanged this time, but the voting structure showed a rare split not seen in nearly a decade, with a total of 3 members voting against, advocating a direct 25bp rate hike. This result clearly indicates that there is no consensus within the Federal Reserve, and some policymakers remain highly vigilant about the risk of inflation rebounding.
The Chair's choice to pause rate hikes does not mean the committee generally believes inflation risks have been eliminated. The current core market variable is no longer whether the rate will be adjusted at a single meeting, but whether subsequent meetings will resume discussions on rate hikes. Once inflation indicators such as CPI and core PCE rise again, the hawkish voices that have emerged this round will continue to amplify, further tightening policy expectations.
This meeting sends a key signal: policy rates remain unchanged, but internal committee views are divided, and the policy's margin for error continues to narrow. Consequently, the main market trading focus has shifted from when rate cuts will begin to how long the restrictive high rates will be maintained.
In the short term, high-frequency inflation and employment data, as well as expectations for the September policy meeting, will continue to be the main focus of capital competition. Repeated fluctuations in policy expectations will continue to drive volatility in global major asset classes, with various risk assets likely to maintain a wide-ranging oscillation pattern, making it difficult for a unilateral trend to quickly form. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #美联储即将公布利率决议 No need to ask, interest rates haven't changed. High-risk products are all falling—Bitcoin, altcoins, US stocks. These declines aren't because the Fed hasn't cut rates, but because the market and everyone realize: rate cuts might still be far off, and high rates could persist longer.
Before, no rate hikes meant everyone went up together. Now, no rate hikes mean the economy is under pressure, rate cuts are still distant, so prices fall. People always pay for expectations [doge]

At that time, the logic behind shorting $BZ was mainly based on the need for a pullback after the previous rise in oil prices, but the market did not weaken as expected; instead, it continued to break upward driven by supply risks and capital pressure.
From the trend perspective, after crude oil climbed back above $80, bullish momentum has clearly strengthened, with consecutive breakthroughs at key levels, indicating that short-term market sentiment has shifted.
Currently, the price is near 88, which is a key position. If it continues to break above $90, it indicates that the bullish trend is not yet over, and the upper levels may continue to test higher areas, further increasing short pressure.
However, if there is clear resistance near $90 and the price falls back below $85, then this rally may enter a correction phase, giving short positions a chance to recover.
The most important thing in holding positions now is not to focus on loss figures, but to reassess whether the market logic has changed.
The original logic for a pullback still holds, but the short-term trend is now bullish, so we need to pay close attention to the reaction around $90.
Trading Review:
Short selling should not be based solely on bullish moments leading to declines; it is also important to see if the market shows signs of weakness. Making wrong judgments in direction isn't scary; what's scary is sticking to your original judgment after the market changes. $90 resistance level; $85 support levelAfter three days of market plunge, the South Korean government only came up with three blunt moves: raising interest rates, raising margin to reduce leverage, and raising investment thresholds. The timing of the policy was extremely poor; it was only implemented after retail investors' leveraged positions were widely liquidated. Holding numerous regulatory plans but only using temporary measures is enough to prove that regulators lack a comprehensive emergency plan for a crash in advance.$SOL ## SOL Overview 7/30
**Current price $73-74, breaking below all moving averages, confirmed death cross, but the ETF keeps buying. **
---
📉 **The technical aspects look bad. **
Prices are below all four EMAs—20-day $75.67, 50-day $76.24, 100-day $79.39, 200-day $87.15. The lower band of the Bollinger Band is $72.96, with SOL stuck to the lower band, just 43 cents short of breaking through. 8 out of 10 indicators are bearish, **death cross confirmed**.
It has fallen 75% from its ATH of $294 and 25% from its July high of $98. The Fear and Greed Index is 26, indicating the market is in fear.
FOMC just arrived—three hawks called for rate hikes, 30-year US Treasuries fell below 5.20%, which is not good news for SOL as a high-beta asset. Bitcoin and Ethereum are supported by ETFs, while SOL is even more on the risk curve, bearing the brunt of rate hike expectations.
---
🟢 **But there is one fact that the market has completely ignored. **
**Every U.S. trading day in July, SOL spot ETFs saw net inflows. ** Not occasionally, but every day.
During the same period, Bitcoin ETFs outflowed $527 million in a week, with $4.4 billion flowing out of the entire crypto ETF market. SOL is the only one where institutions buy it every day. Bitwise's BSOL accumulated a net inflow of $1.14 billion, and Morgan Stanley also applied for an SOL trust with a 0.14% fee and staking yield.
The ETF inflow mechanism is real—authorized participants must buy SOL on the open market to create shares. Millions of dollars per day cannot push the price of a $43 billion market cap asset, but it is establishing a **sustained non-price-sensitive demand bottom**.
⚠️ However, on July 28, SOL ETF saw a net outflow of $18.07 million, the second largest single-day outflow since its launch. The record for continuous inflows may be breaking down, which is a signal to keep an eye on.
---
🧭 **Attitude: Bearish in the short term, not pessimistic in the medium term, wait for $68-70 before acting. **
Currently, the $73 level is hard to hold. Above is $79 (100-day EMA) holding firm, and below $72.96 (Bollinger lower band) is barely holding up. FOMC hawkish stance + death cross + ETF inflows are starting to loosen, with a higher probability of short-term downside.
**Worth waiting for**: $68-70 range. This was the previous Wyckoff accumulation zone and the support zone formed near the June low of $66. If ETF inflows resume and prices stabilize in this area, the odds will be much better.
**A breakout above $79.39 (100-day EMA) is considered an initial stabilization; a trend reversal is only expected to break above $87 (200-day EMA). **
**Conclusion**: SOL's ETF story is unique in crypto—institutions buy every day, but both technical and macro factors are suppressing. Now is not the time to catch the flying knife; wait for the panic to deepen further; $68-70 is the first point worth trying out.🏦 Institutions are "quietly" buying! With the situation about to shift, how will you choose? Feel free to leave your comments below!
Updated July 29, 2026
· Single-day net inflow: +2,000 ETH (+$3.8 million). 🟢
· 7-day net inflow: +20,277 ETH (+$38.49 million). 🟢
This indicates that institutional funds have been continuously and accelerating their entry over the past week. Although daily inflows are not massive, stable positive inflows are an important signal in themselves—institutions are using current price ranges to position rather than flee. If it can hold or even expand in the coming days, it will further confirm the bottom support near $1900.
📈 Cross-validation with US stock market trends
Combined with last night's US stock performance, this data is even more interesting:
1. Capital Rotation Continues: Last night, US tech stocks (especially the AI sector) continued to come under pressure, but ETH ETFs saw net inflows against the trend, confirming my previous judgment that 'US stock funds are shifting from AI to crypto.'
2. The foundation for independent trading is already in place: Institutions continue to buy, indicating that ETH is no longer fully following the "risk appetite" of US stocks. As long as the inflow trend continues, ETH is expected to form a sentiment bottom around $1900, independent of US stocks.
🧩 The next key observation point
· If US stocks continue to fall tonight: watch whether ETH ETFs continue to see net inflows. If so, the "decoupling" signal is reinforced, and ETH may emerge from an independent rally, even resisting the decline and rising against the trend.
· If U.S. stocks rebound: ETF inflows may accelerate, and ETH may use the momentum to challenge the resistance zone between $1930 and $1955.
Overall, the continuous inflow of institutional funds is currently the most important endogenous support for ETH. Combined with the capital outflow from U.S. tech stocks, ETH is more resilient than U.S. tech stocks in the short term.And throughout the entire press conference, the segment most worth AI investors' attention was Wash's rare inclusion of AI capital expenditure within the inflation and monetary policy framework. He explicitly pointed out that AI-related high-tech equipment and software investments have grown at nearly 20% over the past four quarters, which on one hand supports manufacturing and future supply growth, and on the other hand is driving up the prices of memory chips, logic chips, and related AI infrastructure.
This means that AI capital expenditure is no longer just a story within the tech industry itself but is gradually becoming a macro variable influencing U.S. growth, inflation, and interest rate trajectories. #美联储即将公布利率决议 A streak of fire crossed the Middle Eastern night sky — Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched multiple ballistic missiles from its territory toward U.S. military bases in Jordan. The U.S. Central Command confirmed "all intercepted," but this attack broke the informal ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran that had lasted two days. Trump immediately threatened a "fierce strike," and the situation quickly shifted from easing to tense.
The market reaction was immediate. WTI crude futures ($CL) surged over 7% in early trading, Brent ($BZ) soared more than 7%, pressing hard against the $89 mark, and U.S. oil further jumped over 7% after the U.S. confirmed retaliation. The shipping risk premium for the Strait of Hormuz, a global energy choke point, was re-injected into prices. The chain of "oil price → inflation → rate hikes" caused spot gold to fall instead of rise, dipping to around $4013.
Equity and crypto markets simultaneously came under pressure. The Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ) followed the semiconductor sector lower, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index retreating 25% from its June peak; Bitcoin (BTC) dipped intraday but narrowed losses to within 1.6%, overall maintaining a high correlation with tech stocks.
Although the missiles were intercepted, the strait remains locked. Going forward, oil prices will be driven by headlines about "retaliation or not," while the rebound potential for QQQ and BTC is suppressed by risk-off sentiment — once the U.S. and Iran enter a "military + shipping + financial" multidimensional war of attrition, the current oil risk premium is unlikely to collapse quickly. $HYPE ## HYPE Quick Overview 7/30
**Current price $54-55, down 28% from ATH $76.97, still trending. **
---
📉 **The short-term structure is poor. **
The price has fallen below all short-term moving averages—SMA-7 ($57.73), SMA-15 ($60.04), SMA-30, and SMA-50—all have fallen. Only the 200-day moving average of $45-50 is holding it up. RSI dropped to 35, close to oversold but not yet in the fear zone. If the MACD remains negative, there will be someone to sell on a rebound.
ETFs are even worse—four consecutive days of net outflows, last week $8.6 million, and this week another $4.14 million. The agency is withdrawing, not a fake fall.
There are two major surprises: Last week, Multicoin Capital and Paradigm unstaked **$291 million** worth of HYPE, and Multicoin has already transferred 1.29 million tokens (about $71 million) to Coinbase. VCs are cashing out, not retail investors panicking.
---
🟢 **But valuations are starting to get interesting. **
On July 28, Grayscale released a report using the "earnings per share" model to calculate HYPE: Hyperliquid is expected to earn $1 billion in 2027, corresponding to 270M-310M circulating supply, with earnings per share of $3.25-3.75. At the current price of $54, **forward-looking PE is only 15-18 times**, which is much cheaper than the 20-40 times ratio of listed fintech companies.
In plain language: If Hyperliquid really keeps making money, the current price isn't expensive. But the premise is that transaction volume remains stable and fee revenue does not collapse.
---
🧭 **Attitude: Remain bearish in the short term; wait for the $50-52 range in the medium term before buying. **
Avoid short-term contact. ETF outflows + VC uncollateral + fully broken technical conditions, with no signs of stopping the decline. RSI 35 is not yet at extreme oversold levels; panic is not enough.
**Positions to Watch**: $50.80 (200-day EMA) to $52 (0.618 Fibonacci). If the drop falls to this level and volume shrinks and stabilizes, the long-short ratio rebounds, you can consider testing positions. Currently, the $54-55 range is neither going up nor down, so catching a flying knife is risky.
**A recovery of $57.3 (100-day EMA) is considered a preliminary stabilization, and $64 (50-day EMA) is considered a trend reversal. **
**Conclusion**: HYPE's fundamentals story is solid, but short-term funding and technical conditions are deteriorating. Wait for the panic trades to clear out before making a move; the $50-52 range is the first worth watching.Opposition votes are increasing.
Although the interest rate decision this time remains unchanged, 3 FOMC members voted to support a 25 basis point rate hike.
This is a rare situation in the past decade.
It indicates that concerns about inflation within the Federal Reserve have not disappeared.
Powell's choice to hold steady does not mean all officials believe the risks have been eliminated.
The biggest variable now is not whether there will be a rate hike today, but whether the possibility of a rate hike will be reconsidered in the coming months.
If the core PCE and CPI rise again later, these hawkish voices may grow louder.
Therefore, the message released by this meeting can be summarized as:
Rates remain unchanged, but policy divisions are widening.
The future market focus is likely to have shifted from whether to cut rates to how long high rates will persist.
In the short term, the market will continue to fluctuate around inflation data, employment data, and expectations for the September meeting, and volatility may not be small. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations
Reviewing the current downward narrative, the recent crash in the storage sector is not just about earnings falling short of expectations, but also about the market beginning to re-examine the entire AI storage cycle.
Although SK Hynix's financial report hit a record high, profits and revenue fell short of market expectations, prompting investors to worry whether the HBM demand driven by AI has already been traded in advance. Subsequently, SNDK, Micron, and the entire storage industry chain experienced consecutive sell-offs, prompting capital to withdraw from the high-valuation AI hardware sector.
The second pressure comes from the rise of China's storage industry. Changxin Memory (CXMT) surged on its first day of listing, renewing market attention on supply pressure from domestic storage capacity expansion. If Chinese manufacturers continue to expand capacity in the future, low-cost competition may squeeze the profit margins of overseas storage companies, which is also a major cause of capital panic.
Additionally, the South Korean market itself faces high leverage issues. When AI storage becomes a hot trade, a large amount of capital flows into the semiconductor sector. If expectations change, the selling pressure from deleveraging will be amplified.
In addition, the sudden escalation of the US-Iran situation and the confirmation of US military strikes against Iran have heightened risk aversion, further reducing market risk appetite.
I believe this drop in storage stocks is more like a reassessment of valuations and expectations, rather than a complete end of AI logic.
In the short term, funds will continue to seek certainty, and the storage sector may face some volatility. However, in the long run, AI computing power growth will still require large amounts of HBM and high-performance storage. Companies with real technological barriers and cost advantages will still benefit.
The market never rises linearly, and the AI industry can't hit new highs every day. You need to stay calm when prices rise, and when prices crash, you need to see clearly whether the logic is broken or if it's just a reshuffle triggered by overheated sentiment.
$SNDK $SKHYNIX $SAMSUNG Robinhood delivered a very different structure in Q2 2026.
Total transaction revenue: $776 million, up 44% year-over-year
Let's look at the three major trading sectors:
Event contracts (forecast market) revenue: $156 million
Stock trading revenue: $129 million
Crypto trading revenue: $100 million, down 38% year-on-year
The market is predicted to surpass crypto and stocks for the first time, becoming the largest source of trading income.
Overall Financial Data:
Total net income: $1.31 billion, up 32% year-over-year
Net profit: $573 million, up 48% year-on-year
The Crypto line:
Nominal trading volume is $40 billion, including $22 billion contributed by Bitstamp. Revenue fell 38% year-over-year, but was still better than the market's pessimistic expectations (some analysts were pessimistic at 47-48%).
How did the prediction market get up?
Robinhood only entered the prediction market in October 2024, launched the Prediction Market Center in March 2026, and listed on the CFTC-licensed exchange Rothera in June. Just one year old, income has already topped the list.
How to view this financial report:
As crypto trading cools down, Robinhood hasn't escaped the challenge either. But by leveraging the multi-pronged market prediction + options + stocks, they withstood the crypto decline, with both revenue and profits surging.
"No longer relying solely on crypto stories"—this quarter was validated by the earnings report. Looking at the past 7 days, ETH ETFs have seen net inflows, while BTC ETFs have seen net outflows.
This is currently one of the clearest signals of "institutional capital flow divergence."
First, institutional capital is becoming more diverse.
BTC has seen net outflows for several consecutive days (especially in the past 7 days, with cumulative inflows exceeding $460 million), while ETH continues to maintain net inflows.
This is not a one-day data phenomenon, but a continuation of the trend from the past week.
Second, BlackRock is "selling BTC, buying ETH."
BlackRock is currently the largest crypto spot ETF manager.
Its flow is often treated by the market as a barometer for institutions.
IBIT is selling, ETHA is buying, indicating that the underlying clients or internal strategies are adjusting relative allocation.
Finally, in the near term, capital preference is slightly skewed toward ETH.
During the cautious phase of overall crypto market sentiment, ETH still continued to see net ETF purchases, which is rare. Relatively speaking, in the short term, ETH is more strongly supported by institutions than BTC.
In other words, recently institutions have been subtracting $BTC and adding $ETH through ETF channels. (But in the short term, long-term observation is still needed.)Bear Market Survival Manual: Protect Your Principal and Accumulate Options

How to do this: Set a basic dollar-cost averaging rhythm (weekly or biweekly), then set aside some accumulated positions to deploy specifically during extreme drawdowns. You can refer to the multi-currency "three-part method": deploy 1/3 now, 1/3 invest DCA, and leave 1/3 for deeper pullbacks.
The biggest mistake I saw was: treating gains as risk-free lunches, or simply applying past maximum drawdowns to the current downside limit. South Korea's regulatory move doesn't really affect short-term price fluctuations but changes the way declines propagate.
In the past, under a high-leverage environment, price drops → margin calls → forced liquidations → further declines, creating a death spiral. Now, by restricting new leverage, it's like cutting off new fuel, allowing the market to gradually return to normal pricing from a passive stampede.
It doesn't directly support prices but first clears risks.
After leverage is cleared, truly valuable assets have the chance to be reabsorbed by capital. $SKHYNIX Most retail investors, after being educated by the market, turned to the US stock market hoping to break even, only to see tech stocks plummet and take a second hit. Looking at the past two months, after crypto investors exited, $BTC and $ETH have instead traded sideways between 63,000 and 68,000, while US stocks have suffered a devastating drop due to the collapse of storage stocks. This round of crypto capital outflows has directly dragged down global risk asset sentiment. Back to $BTC itself, the 4-hour chart shows that the high-level oscillation structure has not yet been broken. The previous rebound high dropped from 68,000 to 67,000, and now the price is near 64,300, just below the downtrend line. If it fails to break through the 65,000 to 65,500 range with increased volume, it is easy to form a false breakout, attracting long-selling funds and then immediately pulling back. The 65,000 level is already the dividing line between bulls and bears. In the past week, three upward attacks have been rebounded, and the pressure from trapped trading above is obvious. The macro outlook is also not optimistic. US tech stocks are in a period of digesting high valuations, AI concepts are entering a performance validation phase, and market risk appetite is fluctuating. Before the US stock market opens up new opportunities, $BTC trying to break through the previous high of 70,000 is basically impossible. The market has already priced in the rate cut expectations in advance; what truly drives the next round of the market is substantial liquidity improvement, not just empty talk. In the coming month, I prefer $BTC to first move downward to find liquidity, clear out high-leveraged long positions, and wait for market panic to look for opportunities once the market panic eases. Resistance levels between 65,000 and 65,500; holding above 66,500 is considered structural strengthening. Support is between 60,000 and 61,000, with the limit range between 58,000 and 5$MU Micron's fundamentals haven't deteriorated; it's just cooperating with South Korea to clear high leverage. It's just that too many of you have heavily bottom-fished. Actually, it hasn't dropped much; the price has just returned to where it was in May. It's not time for a halving yet... When the leverage cleanup is mostly done, there will be a proper rebound. 1200 might be a cyclical top, maybe or maybe not. If it rises again in the first quarter of next year, that should be the peak...#FedRateDecision #BigTechEarningsNight #SKHynixRecordMiss To give you the conclusion: I think this wave is just short-term extreme deleveraging, and many stocks have already fallen too much. 📈 --- Performance speaks for itself, AI is not on the radar. Let's first look at the newly released financial report: Bloom Energy ($BE): Revenue up 166% year-over-year, margins continue to expand, and has raised its full-year 2026 guidance · Teradyne ($TER): Revenue grew 104% year-on-year, EPS increased by over 300%. How does this look like a recession? This is clearly a surge in demand. China's leading optical communication companies have also delivered impressive initial results, showing a strong transmission effect on the Western photonics sector. I think this earnings season will make the market realize again—the logic of AI acceleration hasn't changed, and it's being realized as real results. Next, I expect the earnings reports of $LITE, $SNDK, SK Hynix, and sector leaders to continue confirming this trend. Indeed, the market now prefers to reward companies that are already accelerating, rather than those valuations supported by "expectations one year from now." $AMKR That kind of trend is a typical example—the market has extremely low tolerance for downward revisions in near-term earnings. 🏗️ --- Hyperscale CAPEX, the strongest AI demand signal$GOOGL CAPEX has been raised to $195-205 billion. The capital expenditures of hyperscale manufacturers are the most direct signal of demand for AI hardware, and Google's move needs no further explanation. 📉 --- Macro panic is a bit excessive$SKHYNIX South Korean regulators finally crack down hard on leverage!
After an emergency meeting, they did not directly prop up the index with money.
The investment limit for single-stock leveraged products may be capped at 20% of total assets!
Starting July 31, the cash threshold will be raised to 30 million KRW.
South Korea aims to first cut off the leverage chain, then let the market clear itself!
The South Korean Ministry of Finance announced it will maintain 24-hour market monitoring and immediately add controls on single-stock leveraged ETFs: limiting individual investment exposure, increasing high-frequency trading costs, raising simulation trading requirements, and establishing legal grounds for market stabilization measures in emergencies. New product launches and advertising have also been suspended.
From July 31, retail investors adding or purchasing related products must hold at least 30 million KRW in cash in their accounts and can no longer use stocks, bonds, or other substitute assets to meet the threshold; this is not a forced immediate liquidation for existing holders but a direct choke on new leveraged funds. South Korea has not announced any intervention by stabilization funds, targeted central bank liquidity injections, or a blanket short-selling ban, indicating the policy goal remains to stabilize order rather than forcibly support prices.
July 30 may become an unusually intense final trading window.
But in the medium term, after new leverage is cut off, the "sell more as prices fall" stampede cycle has a real chance to weaken. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期，存储股剧烈波动 $UAI 前十持仓92%，uai又是一个高控币，最近前十地址暂时都没有出货迹象，甚至还有吸的迹象Qualcomm's financial report is indeed a bit hard to describe: third-quarter revenue was $9.95 billion, down 4% year-on-year, but still well above the market expectation of $9.66 billion.
The company has given a bottom line, expecting the decline in revenue from Apple-related products to accelerate starting next quarter. This basically foreshadows the loss of some major client orders in the future, putting considerable pressure on them.
However, Qualcomm also left a backup plan. They emphasized that non-mobile businesses, including data centers, are quietly gaining momentum, with growth expected to surge from 24% to over 60% in fiscal year 2027. Qualcomm even boldly claimed that revenue growth from non-smartphone business next year will directly surpass the total revenue of Apple's entire product line this year.
Unfortunately, the market clearly cares more about the tough issue in the smartphone business, and the stock price crashed 3.97% after hours. It seems that in investors' eyes, no matter how fiercely the new engine ignites, it can't withstand the old engine starting to stall now. Qualcomm is currently in a period of transformation pains, and the contrast in its financial reports is quite strong. $QCOM $AAPL $XAAPL #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard The results of today's Federal Reserve meeting have been officially announced.
The Fed decided to keep the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, with no rate cuts or hikes. At first glance, this result seems similar to the last meeting, but after carefully reading the statement and Chairman Waller's opening remarks at the press conference, I feel the tone this time is actually tougher than it appears on the surface.
The most notable point is that the vote was 9 in favor and 3 against.
The three dissenting members did not call for a rate cut but instead wanted a 25 basis point rate hike. This means the real division within the Fed is not "when to start cutting rates," but rather "whether the current rate is high enough."
This detail is more worth noting than the decision to keep rates unchanged.
The Fed's reasoning is straightforward. U.S. economic activity remains robust, employment growth roughly keeps pace with labor force growth, unemployment rate changes little, but inflation remains above the 2% target. Energy and other sectors are affected by supply shocks, and some commodity prices continue to rise.
Waller repeatedly emphasized at the press conference that the Fed has only one clear inflation target: 2%. There is no so-called "soft target," nor will the Fed accept inflation being a bit higher for a long time.
He also said that the high inflation of the past five-plus years cannot be resolved by nine weeks or a month of mild price declines.
I think this statement clearly expresses the Fed's current thinking: they are unwilling to rush to declare the inflation problem over just because one or two months of data look good.
Another obvious change at this press conference is that the Fed no longer wants to tell the market every step in advance.
Waller mentioned that the market should focus more on real economic data rather than constantly guessing the Fed's next move. He believes the central bank does not need to always be the center of market attention and will reduce overly explicit forward guidance in the future.
Put simply, the Fed no longer wants to give the market the answers in advance. Whether to hike, cut, or hold rates will depend more on the data at the time.
The press conference also specifically mentioned AI investment. Waller said U.S. high-tech capital expenditures are growing rapidly, with AI-related equipment and software growth near 20% over the past four quarters, which is good for manufacturing and future productivity.
But on the other hand, the reality is that the AI investment boom is pushing up prices for storage chips, logic chips, and related infrastructure. The Fed is now discussing whether this is just price increases in a few industries or if it will further become broader inflationary pressure.
So my feeling from this meeting is not that the Fed is ready to ease immediately, but that they are still carefully observing how strong the economy really is and how stubborn inflation remains.
No change in rates does not mean nothing is happening. Three members calling for a hike, the chairman reiterating the 2% inflation target, and reducing forward guidance are all very clear signals.
My stance remains the same: don't just focus on the words "rate hike or cut," and don't rush to draw conclusions about the market right after the meeting ends.
The Fed today neither stepped on the gas nor clearly released the brake; they just made their message clearer:
The inflation problem is not solved yet, and policy will not pivot early just because the market is anxious.
The factual source is the Fed's July 29, 2026 FOMC statement and Chairman Waller's official opening remarks at the press conference.

---
📊 Project Background: RWA Reinsurance Narrative
$RE is the governance token of Re Protocol, and was simultaneously listed on five major exchanges including Binance and OKX on June 18. The project focuses on on-chain reinsurance—connecting stablecoin capital to regulated reinsurance businesses in the US, with a TVL of about $570 million, and connecting with 40+ insurance partners. The total supply is 1 billion tokens, with only 159.6 million tokens currently in circulation (15.96%).
📊 Market structure: Value reversion after the ATH
On June 20, it hit a historic high of $1.09, then plunged 65% to bottom at 0.357. On July 20, it rebounded in a V-shaped pattern to 0.64, but recently retreated to a range of 0.47-0.50, fluctuating and consolidating. It is currently in a typical post-IPO consolidation phase—early buyers taking profits and new entrants entering at lower levels.
📍 Support Level (from near to far)
· First support: 0.47-0.48 — The lower edge of the recent consolidation box has weakened here
· Second support: 0.43-0.45—the key support zone after breaking below 0.47
· Strong support: 0.38-0.40—deeper demand zone, core support band at the initial listing stage
· Maximum support: 0.35-0.36 — July 20 V-shaped reversal starting point
🚀 Pressure level (from near to far)
· First Resistance: 0.50-0.52 — The most urgent 'Chu-He-Han boundary' at present; a breakout on high volume is the first signal for the bulls to restart
· Second resistance: 0.54-0.55 — recent rebound high, three attempts failed
· Strong resistance: 0.58-0.60—a recovery is needed to open upside space
· Core resistance: 0.63-0.64—Historical high area, a return means doubling
· Mid-term ceiling: 0.80-1.00 — the next target range after the ATH recovers
🐋 On-chain market maker movements: fierce bullish and bearish battles
On-chain signals are highly fragmented. Some whale wallets have recently accumulated about 18 million RE. However, some on-chain analyses point out that "net outflow within 12 hours on-chain, whales clearing positions." The market Delta briefly turned negative but then turned positive, with buying and selling forces still in a tug-of-war.
The chip structure is highly deceptive: only 16% of circulating share, making pumping easy—the main players can create FOMO by spending little money; But 84% unlocked means selling pressure expectations are always hanging overhead. The 20% team + 23% investors, totaling 43% of the position, have a 12-month lock-up period, with approximately 11.94 million tokens released linearly each month starting June 2027. Institutions entering in the 2022 seed round and the 2024 VC round have holding costs far below current market prices.
📉 Contract and volume signals
The 24-hour turnover still reached tens of millions of dollars. Trading volume cooled down after the listing surge—a normal phenomenon. However, if trading volume increases when it breaks above 0.50-0.52, it will be the first signal of a restart. Prior to this, the token remained in a range-bound environment.
✅ Positive factors
· Real demand in the RWA sector: annual reinsurance premiums are about $1 trillion, and Re's business model is real—every $1 in collateral can support $5-7 in premium write-downs
· MiCA compliance endorsement: RE entered the European market as MiCA's "other type token," primarily registered in Ireland, covering 29 EU member states—providing a legal and compliant entry channel for European institutional capital
· Top exchanges have all gone public: Binance, OKX, Bitget, HTX, KuCoin, Gate.io, XT.COM, and others have all been listed
· True yield support: Protocol annualized returns of 8-16%, with very low correlation with traditional crypto markets
· Light Plates Easy to Pull: With a circulating market value of less than $100 million, a small amount of capital can drive significant price fluctuations
⚠️ Bearish factors
· Pure governance token, no dividends: RE does not directly share insurance income; its value depends entirely on governance rights
· 84% unlocked supply: 11.94 million tokens will enter the market monthly starting June 2027, lasting 36 months
· Mandatory KYC/KYB verification: Explicitly excluding users from the US, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and other regions—the participation threshold is much higher than that of regular on-chain tokens
· Sharp fluctuations in the new coin: ATH fell from 1.09 to 0.35, a drop of 68%, then rebounded from 0.35 to 0.64, up 83%
· High risk of seed tags: Binance adds seed labels, requiring a quiz every 90 days to be traded
· Three attempts to break 0.64, but still: short-term profit-taking is exiting
🎯 Summary
$RE stands at the 0.50 'Chu-He-Han boundary.' Bulls hold three key trump cards: real RWA demand, MiCA compliance endorsement, and easy pull for light trading; Bears hold three sharp blades: 84% ununlocked supply, pure governance with no dividends, and mandatory KYC.
If 0.47-0.48 can hold and volume breaks through 0.50-0.52, the rebound room will open to 0.58-0.60 or even 0.64; if 0.47 is breached, 0.43-0.45 and 0.38-0.40 will become bearish bullseye in succession.
The biggest test will come in June 2027—when 43% of team and investors' positions begin to be released linearly. If the agreement does not have enough buyers to take over, the continuous monthly supply of 11.94 million tokens will be a devastating suppression. This is not a pessimistic forecast, but an arithmetic problem. Before that, the 16% of circulating shares will see dramatic fluctuations repeatedly—violent when prices rise, and equally brutal when prices fall. #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon deliver tonight. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations The spillover of war in the Middle East has nearly halted navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, directly triggering a cliff-like drop in Iraq's crude oil exports. According to data from the Ministry of Petroleum, exports totaled about 32.11 million barrels in May–June 2026, while in February before the war, it reached 99.87 million barrels in just February; Production at major southern oil fields plummeted by 80%, from 4.3 million barrels per day to about 900,000 barrels. The real issue isn't resources, but the corridor—Iraq's finances rely on crude oil exports for 90% of its revenue, and most of it is shipped out via Hormuz. After the de facto blockade of the strait, storage is in short supply, forcing forced force cuts at foreign oil fields; Even if the northern Kirkuk–Turkish Ceyhan pipeline starts diversion, its initial capacity is only 250,000 barrels per day, far from enough to fill the gap.
In the short term, global inventories have fallen to historic lows, and the peak consumption season in Q3 combined with restocking demand has driven oil prices and oil and gas stocks to $CL 📈 and $BZ📈. However, the IEA has lowered its global demand forecast for 2026 to a year-on-year decrease of 1 million barrels per day, marking the first annual contraction since 2020; After the medium- and long-term resumption of shipping across the strait and the release of idle capacity by OPEC+, supply and demand have returned to oversupply, causing the oil price center to face a pullback, reflecting institutions' long-term stance 📉 on oil and gas stocks. $BTC #停火48小时告吹, the US and Iran are negotiating simultaneously $BTC ## BTC 7/30 Pre-Market Overview — FOMC Decision Dropped, But Triple Pressure Remains
🔮 **FOMC Result**: 9-3 vote to keep rates unchanged, but three hawkish dissenters (demanding a 25bp hike) is the first since 2016. Wash's exact words: **"No soft inflation target, 2% is ironclad"**. The 30-year US Treasury yield surged past **5.20%**, Dow plunged 1100 points.
📊 **BTC Current Price**: Multiple sources cross-verified oscillating in the **$63,500-64,000** range. DiarioBitcoin reports $63,689, COINOTAG real-time $63,680. After FOMC announcement, briefly spiked to $64,500 → Wash hawkish remarks → retreated to $63,700. Basically unchanged, indicating the market had already priced in "no rate cut."
⛓️ **Three Mountains Pressing Down**:
**① Middle East Powder Keg** 🔥 Iran missile strike on US base, US-Saudi joint counterattack on Iraqi militias. Brent crude surged to **$90.74**, WTI up 7.6%. Oil price → inflation → rate hike expectations, this transmission chain blocks BTC’s upside imagination.
**② Wash Gives No Hope** 🏛️ His strategy is clear: no forward guidance, not afraid of market drops, only data-driven. September hike probability still 56%, December hike probability **81%**. Rate cuts? Not anytime soon.
**③ On-Chain Quietness** 🥶 Fear & Greed Index at **28** (fear), Coinbase premium negative indicating US funds are exiting. BTC spot volume dropped to the lowest since July 2023 — no one stepping in, no one dumping, pure stalemate.
📐 **Technicals**:
| Direction | Key Level | Logic |
|------|--------|------|
| Support | **$63,250-63,500** | SMA-30/50 crossover, break leads to $62,700 |
| Lifeline | **$62,700** | Yesterday’s low + 11-day minimum, break targets $60,000 |
| Resistance | **$64,500-65,000** | SMA-7/15 dense zone, failure to break means continued consolidation |
| Bull/Bear Divide | **$71,850** | SMA-200, far away |
💡 **My Judgment**:
BTC is now a "compressed spring" — FOMC no hike is good, but Wash’s hawkish stance + oil prices + geopolitical risks are three ropes binding it. Short term is **$63,000-65,000** range oscillation, whichever side breaks first will lead.
The bulls’ only good card: BTC dominance steadily rising at 58.65%, indicating funds are retreating from altcoins to safe haven — not a bull market signal, but at least shows whales haven’t given up on BTC.
⚠️ Key focus: Whether the Strait of Hormuz reopens, August CPI data. If oil prices keep surging + inflation rebounds, September hike probability won’t be 56% anymore, and $60,000 might not hold then.⚡ $LAB On-chain Insights: "Ruins Survival" After 99% Crashes
---
📊 Market structure: From a hundredfold myth to nearing zero
$LAB is a multi-chain AI trading terminal token on BNB Smart Chain, which reached a historic high of $27.48 in June. However, July experienced a devastating crash—from $17.68 in three days to $1.05, breaking all support and currently hovering around $0.152. It has dropped over 99% from its all-time high, with a market cap of only about $49 million, ranking 433rd. This is a classic 'hundredfold coin reset to zero' scenario.
📍 Support Level (from near to far)
· First support: 0.15 — the market has previously considered this a target level
· Second support: 0.12-0.14 — the buffer zone after breaking below 0.15
· Strong support: 0.09-0.11—If 0.15 falls, bears will move to the next target
· Ultimate defense: 0.025 — presale cost price, the psychological bottom line for early participants
🚀 Pressure level (from near to far)
· First resistance: 0.21-0.25—the most pressing resistance zone at present
· Second pressure: 0.43-0.45—only a recovery can see hope for stabilization
· Strong resistance: 0.90-1.00—mid-July consolidation zone, heavy trapped positions
· Core resistance: 1.07-1.20 — early July low area; returning here would mean a tenfold increase
🐋 On-chain market player movements: Internal chip clearing continues
On-chain investigator ZachXBT accused insiders of controlling over 95% of the supply and manipulating prices as early as May. In July, solid evidence emerged—a wallet initially funded by the team held over 196 million LAB, transferred 18.4 million tokens to DEXs within 48 hours, selling them in concentrated sales, pushing the price from $1.20 to $0.56, with 81.5 million coins still waiting to be dumped. Additionally, whales transferred 18.5 million LAB (worth $18.69 million) to Aster within two days, causing prices to plummet 53%.
The token structure is extremely distorted: a total supply of 1 billion tokens, currently only about 309 million (30.9%) are in circulation, with 70.8% marked as "untracked"—meaning these tokens could be unlocked and enter the market at any time. Starting July 14, 16.23 million tokens will be unlocked each month, continuing until December. On August 14, another 282 million tokens will be unlocked to their recipients.
📉 Contracts and liquidity signals: No buy orders were accepted
The 24-hour trading volume was $280 million, 5.7 times market cap—the turnover rate was abnormally high, but the price was still falling. On-chain data shows that "shipments have never stopped." Liquidity depth is extremely poor; even a small large sell can trigger a sharp drop.
✅ Positive factors
· Moonpay fiat channel launched: On July 23, debit cards will be activated to directly purchase LAB
· Apple Pay/Google Pay coming soon: lowering the entry barrier for new users
· Product real: Multi-chain trading terminal supports ETH, SOL, BNB Chain, AI research engine, with fees of only 0.5%
· Institutions have endorsed 14 institutions including OKX Ventures, KuCoin Ventures, and Animoca Brands to participate in the $5 million financing
⚠️ Bearish factors
· Monthly continuous unlocks: 16.23 million tokens/month through December, with an additional 282 million tokens unlocked on August 14
· The team-linked wallet still holds 81.5 million tokens pending release: the cost is close to zero
· 70.8% of supply is "untracked": it could enter the market at any time
· Founder credibility collapsed: Founder Vova Sadkov's previous project Eesee was accused of "halting development and leaving investors stranded."
· ZachXBT Solid Manipulation: Insiders control over 95% of the supply
· Only 30.9% of outstanding share: FDV is severely inflated, and genuine buying support is extremely weak
🎯 Summary
$LAB is currently in the "surviving the ruins" phase. Falling from $27 to $0.15—this is not a correction, but a destruction of value. 0.15-0.21 forms an extremely narrow trading range—if positive factors like Moonpay bring real buying, the rebound target is 0.43-0.45; if team-linked wallets continue to sell or a massive unlock on August 14 triggers a new round of market crushes, 0.12, 0.09, and even 0.025 will become bullseye for bears in turn.
The greatest sorrow is that early participants, with a presale cost of only $0.025, still posted several times their book profit despite a 99% crash. And you and I bought the bottom at $0.15, which might only be a fraction of others' profits. This is not investment, but a way to get a little from the fire. Watch more, move less; let on-chain data tell you when "selling pressure dries up" before talking about bottom-fishing. #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员: Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon deliver tonight. #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations Let's talk about when US stocks will stop falling
Can you still buy the bottom after storing everything?
Yesterday's closing session saw a surge in volume and a decline. From the news side, it appears inflation is intensifying, and expectations of interest rate hikes are starting again. In reality, it's still the US stock gains from March to June and the uncertainty of AI investment. When faced with uncertainty, the market tends to sell blindly.
Currently, there is no sign of stabilizing the decline. The Nasdaq has mostly fallen and risen more than gained, mainly supported by the Seven Sisters. The original logic was hard tech falling, software rising, NVIDIA rising, Apple rising, Google rising. Now, after clearly selling hard tech, funds have abandoned the Seven Sisters
When will this situation improve? The ultimate form of this improvement should be when Nvidia begins to stabilize, stabilize, or even form a strong trend. This requires not only explosive earnings reports but also technological breakthroughs and a new round of AI gaps. When Nvidia rises, semiconductors will recover, storage will stop falling and rebound, and US stocks will rebound.
But now, there's no need to pay more attention to everyone's advice. When I first bought US stocks, the pandemic hit right after I bought them. At the time, I was completely on guard at the summit, but when I checked afterwards, that spot was just a small pit
The advantage of spot trading and dollar-cost averaging is that you can endure. US stocks are highly volatile, and in the long run, $QQQ still has an average return of 20%. I don't think AI will collapse because of this, nor do I think we'll buy the Nasdaq at its century-high now.
The market really needs to cool down. Once it cools down, only a rational self can buy Google and $SMH. Back then, the buying and holding prices weren't for selling every little up, or unbearable for a slight drop.
There are too many people who want to get rich overnight in the US market, but Buffett has long said that speculating on US stock market prices is tantamount to suicide. I remain firmly optimistic about AI tech stocks. Maybe looking back in a few years, now is definitely a great opportunity 😊$SNDK #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期 Storage stocks are volatile with intense volatility Robinhood 2026年Q2交出了一份结构很不一样的数据。
