#财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊今夜交卷
Damn! Those crazies in the Middle East are at it again!
The so-called ceasefire has become a complete joke. As soon as the situation heats up, crude oil prices immediately soar, inflation expectations rise, and the Fed’s rate cut hopes get pushed down further. Growth stocks, especially those AI high-valuation ones, will definitely suffer in the short term.
But the real make-or-break moment for this AI drama isn’t about oil prices; it’s about the earnings reports from several tech giants tonight and tomorrow.
First, look at SK Hynix. The numbers are explosive: revenue of 79.3 trillion KRW, a year-over-year surge of 257%; operating profit 60.5 trillion, up 557%; net profit hitting 93.9 trillion, jumping more than tenfold, including investment gains from Kioxia.
Management confidently states AI demand remains unchanged, infrastructure is still being built aggressively, long-term orders keep piling up, and capital expenditures continue to increase. Sounds solid.
Yet the stock price still got hammered. Why? Because the market stopped playing by earnings rules long ago. This stock has risen more than tenfold in recent years, institutional unrealized gains are massive, and growth for the next few years has already been priced in. Any new highs now are just excuses to digest valuations and take profits.
A well-known KOL on X openly criticized: even a fivefold profit increase couldn’t save the Korean market from triggering a circuit breaker, showing that everyone is trading not on the present but on fear of an AI bubble burst. Some say this is a peak signal; others sneer it’s just a shakeout before the next rally.
The real judgment day is tonight. Microsoft and Meta report after market close, Amazon is the finale tomorrow. Google was hammered over 4% after hours last week due to capital expenditure exceeding expectations; the Nasdaq 100 has already pulled back 10% from its high, entering a technical correction. The whole market is focused on one question: are these tech giants still willing to pour tens of billions more into AI infrastructure?
For Microsoft, revenue is expected around $87.7 billion, and whether Azure growth can hold at 39%-40% is the lifeline. If not, doubts about AI investment returns will explode. Capital expenditure is planned at about $190 billion for the year, Q4 might exceed $40 billion, and if next year’s guidance pushes to $220 billion, free cash flow pressure will drive people crazy.
The stock has already dropped 20% this year; if Azure holds steady and spending doesn’t go wild, there’s room for valuation recovery; if it repeats Google’s mistake, a 4% after-hours drop is just the appetizer.
Meta is even tougher. Revenue expected just over $60 billion, with ad business volume and price both rising; some even bet its ad revenue will surpass Google Search for the first time. But capital expenditure is set to skyrocket to $125-145 billion in 2026.
Some analysts say it might be raised to $150 billion. Free cash flow is expected to turn negative, possibly shrinking by over 90% for the year. The last time capex was raised, the stock plunged 7% after hours; if it happens again and management can’t provide a clear AI monetization timeline, the emotional sell-off will be unstoppable.
Some are optimistic that Microsoft’s cloud business will explode with agentic AI and continue to add positions; others warn that if all three significantly raise CAPEX but cloud growth lags, it’s a classic case of revenue growth without profit growth, and capital will flee faster than anyone. The Nasdaq’s holdings are already loosening; any hesitation or weaker data from one is a huge negative.
Oil prices are rising, inflation is being suppressed, and AI infrastructure money is still burning. The market isn’t trading earnings now; it’s trading how long this money-burning game can last.
The real direction can wait until the dust settles tomorrow morning.SHIB's valuation narrative has shifted from "community-driven" to "ecosystem resilience," but current prices are not fully priced in the drag of liquidity contraction on low-beta assets; The market is waiting for a catalyst that can reactivate speculative leverage. Has SHIB already bottomed out, or is it undergoing a longer-term phase of structural position reduction? - Fact-wise: SHIB is one of the few tokens with a complete ecosystem (DEX, NFT marketplace) within the meme sector, currently still included among the "Eight Thrones," alongside ETH, KAITO, ZAMA, and others; The remaining 92 low-liquidity altcoins are facing the challenge of continuously shrinking trading volumes. SHIB currently maintains basic support, but capital divergence is widening, with each swing accompanied by more pronounced liquidity divergence. - Market Structure Changes: SHIB's leverage structure has retreated from the high funding rate (annualized 50%+) at the start of 2024 to a neutral or even slightly negative level, with the basis flattening. This means that the upward momentum previously relied on long perpetual contracts has basically been cleared out, and the remaining long positions are mostly held in spot or low-leverage positions. This is a typical weak hand clearing process, but it has yet to trigger a large-scale squeeze. - Pricing impact: If SHIB maintains current support and signals a funding rate rebound to positive and the basis widening again, it could trigger a short squeeze that drives a short-term price rebound. However, if the funding rate continues to hover below the zero axis and open interest keeps declining, it indicates a lack of new market development$BTC Many practitioners are applying and participating in online interviews!

At 2:00 a.m. today, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. This should be the most important event in the past two months. On July 15, just the positive CPI data immediately ignited the market, with Ethereum's price rising from 1800 to 1900 that night. Bitcoin rose from 62,500 to 66,950, a gain of over 4,000 points, marking the starting point of this positive data. Currently, the market is heavily influenced by sentiment. There are roughly three scenarios for tonight's Federal Reserve rate decision: 1. If a 25 basis point rate cut tonight is made, it will directly boost market sentiment for risk assets, which is a strong positive sign. The market is likely to rise quickly, and capturing signals and going long with the trend could present good opportunities. 2. The mainstream market expectation is to keep interest rates unchanged. Personally, I believe that keeping interest rates unchanged is also a positive sign, as it can ease the pessimism caused by the recent sharp decline in US stocks and help the market rebuild confidence. 3. No rate hikes, but Powell's hawkish remarks could instantly collapse Bitcoin's short-term resilience. There is a possibility that the price could instantly fall below 61,800, which is also the riskiest scenario. In summary, I suggest everyone focus on watching the market tonight and closely follow market changes at 2 a.m. $BTC $ETH #美联储即将公布利率决议 #比特币与纳指相关性大幅下降: Independence or Illusion #交易之声: Your experience deserves to be heard #美联储即将公布利率决议
#The Federal Reserve is about to announce its interest rate decision tonight at 2 AM.
First, let's talk about the current situation.
CME FedWatch shows the market is pricing about a 70% chance of keeping rates unchanged and a 30% chance of a 25 basis point hike. Reuters surveyed 104 economists, all predicting no change. But the interest rate futures market is still pricing in a rising chance of a hike.
Economists and traders are at odds, marking the biggest split since September 2024.
Why such a big divergence? Two factors are pulling in opposite directions.
On one side, falling oil prices and cooling inflation expectations give the Fed reason to hold steady. On the other, strong employment data—initial jobless claims at 187,000, a 57-year low. Plus, although oil prices have fallen, they remain high, so inflationary pressure isn't fully relieved. Cleveland Fed President Mester and Dallas Fed President Logan are expected to vote hawkishly against. JPMorgan says this decision process will see clear divisions.
There's another variable: Waller.
This is his first press conference since taking office. Waller has already eliminated forward guidance, leaving the market without the old framework to interpret statements. Bank of America puts it bluntly—since 1994, the Fed has never raised rates when the market priced the chance of a hike below 60%. If they hike in July, it would be unprecedented.
Back to Bitcoin.
The rising rate hike expectations have already been priced in over the past few days. Bitcoin briefly dropped to around $63,400, an 11-day low. Orbit Markets' co-founder put it plainly—Bitcoin is being hit by two things simultaneously: rising Fed rate hike odds and macro concerns about AI-related credit risks.
But there's an interesting view. K33 Research's latest analysis says this FOMC decision might have a significantly lower price impact on Bitcoin than historical cycles. The reason is the structural break in Bitcoin's correlation mechanism with traditional risk assets. In other words, Bitcoin might be more resilient than AI tech stocks.
My judgment is simple.
If the Fed holds rates steady with dovish language tonight, Bitcoin will likely move up; holding $64,500 would be an opportunity. If there's a surprise hike or hawkish statement, short-term pressure will persist; if $63,000 doesn't hold, it could drop to $61,000. But regardless of the outcome, the real focus isn't the rate itself, but what Waller says. Without forward guidance, the market and media will scrutinize his every word. One sentence could shake the market.
Don't bet before the direction is clear.
Be patient; today is bound to be volatile

📊 $XRP Quick Overview of Liquidation
Total liquidation in 24 hours was $4.5768 million
Long positions liquidated $3.63 million, accounting for 79.3% of total volume
Short liquidations at $945,800, with long positions at 3.8 times the short position
1-hour long liquidation at $1,007.40 accounts for 100%, with zero short positions, indicating a very short opening disturbance with a very small scale
4-hour long liquidation at $353,300, accounting for 51.1%, short position at $338,100, with bulls and bears nearly even
12-hour long liquidation at $900,100, accounting for 54.5%, short position at $750,800, with the bulls' advantage slowly expanding
24-hour long liquidations amounted to $3.631 million, while short positions were only $945,800
The volume of liquidations increased from $1,007 in 1 hour to $4.5768 million in 24 hours, an increase of over 4,500 times
In the last 12 hours, it contributed about 88% of the day's liquidation, with a strong bullish rally in the latter half
The bears failed to form an effective counterattack throughout
In short: $XRP 24-hour long liquidation of $3.631 million, accounting for 79.3% of the total; in the last 12 hours, the long sell-off surged violently, with bears winning decisively.
🔥 Market Barometer | July 29
Today's three hot topics point to the same theme: collective market anxiety at critical juncture—Federal Reserve uncertainty, tech giants' AI ledgers, and storage leaders' earnings cliffs. These three events intertwine to form a highly tense end of July.
🏛️ Federal Reserve Decision Countdown: The Most Uncertain in Recent Years
At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 30, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision. Economists are highly unanimous—all 104 forecasters surveyed by Reuters expect to hold steady, but the interest rate futures market is betting on a 30.5% chance of a rate hike.
This rare "expert-market" divergence stems from Fed Chair Walsh completely abandoning forward-looking guidance after taking office. Traders didn't know what the Fed would do and could only hedge frantically—futures positions tied to the benchmark rate had soared to record highs. JPMorgan expects at least two hawkish opposing votes at this meeting—including Logan and Hamak.
Core contradiction: June's CPI has cooled significantly (3.5% year-on-year), and the surge in oil prices is a supply shock rather than demand-driven growth; rate hikes cannot solve the problem; But Washe needs to establish credibility in "anti-inflation" efforts, and the ongoing US-Iran conflict continues to push up geopolitical risk premiums. The results will be revealed early Thursday morning—unchanged but leaning hawkish, which is currently the mainstream expectation.
📊 Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon to Submit Tonight: The "Triple Test" of AI's Money-Burning Model
Tonight, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon will release their earnings reports in concentrated succession. The market is highly focused: can massive AI capital expenditures be converted into real income?
· Microsoft: Intelligent cloud (including Azure) is expected to generate $32.9 billion in revenue, with Azure growing about 39%, though this is slightly slower than last quarter's 40%.
· Meta: Market expects revenue of about $60.2 billion, advertising revenue expected to reach $59 billion. The key issue is that the 2026 capital expenditure guidance has been raised to $125–145 billion, and whether AI investment is eroding advertising profits.
· Amazon: AWS expects revenue of about $40.6 billion, up 31.6% year-over-year. Capital expenditure surged over 76% year-on-year to $44.2 billion. Although AWS holds $244 billion in contract backlogs, the market is concerned about negative free cash flow.
Google and Tesla had previously sounded the alarm with the first-ever negative cash flow in history. Tonight, three earnings reports will jointly determine whether the "AI narrative" can continue to support the valuation of tech stocks.
📉 SK Hynix Achieves Record Performance but Falls Short of Expectations: Storage Stocks Experienced Sharp Volatility
SK Hynix released its Q2 financial report today: revenue reached 79.32 trillion KRW, a year-on-year increase of 257%; Operating profit was 60.54 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 557%; Net profit was 93.92 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 1242%. The operating profit margin reached 76%, with cumulative revenue exceeding 100 trillion KRW for the first time in the first half.
However, both revenue and operating profit fell short of market expectations (expected 84 trillion won and 64 trillion won). There are three reasons for falling short of expectations: an excessive proportion of HBM sales, slowing price increases, and long-term agreements locking in prices.
After the earnings report was released, SK Hynix's US stock briefly fell more than 5% in after-hours trading, then staged a "V-shaped reversal" to close higher against the trend; Korean stocks opened higher and then fell more than 10%. Since its peak on June 22, SK Hynix's stock price has dropped by a cumulative 46.9%. Record-breaking performance still being "voted on with feet" shows that market expectations for the memory chip supercycle have reached an extreme level—any flaw will be magnified.
💎 Summary
Three things share the same main thread: the market is "handing over the answer sheet" to the AI frenzy of the past two years. Federal Reserve uncertainty, tech giants' AI ledgers, and storage giants' earnings cliffs together form the most tense narrative at the end of July 2026—when expectations are pushed to the extreme, any outcome below "perfect" could trigger a strong reaction.Brothers, tonight is the real big test.
Google and Tesla already reported last week. One had explosive cloud business but scary capital expenditures, the other hit new delivery highs but profits collapsed. The market reaction was direct: two earnings beats, two big after-hours drops.
Tonight, three even tougher ones take the stage.
Microsoft and Meta report together after Wednesday’s close. Amazon follows on Thursday. These three are expected to spend a combined $725 billion to $730 billion in capital expenditures this year. What does $725 billion mean? It’s higher than the GDP of many countries.
First, Microsoft.
The market expects revenue of $87.67 billion, up 14.7% year-over-year, with earnings per share of $4.22. Azure cloud growth is the main focus; analysts believe it needs to hit at least 39% to 40% growth to push the stock higher.
But the biggest variable is capital expenditure. Microsoft has already confirmed about $190 billion in capital spending for calendar year 2026. Last quarter, free cash flow fell back to $15.8 billion, down sharply from $25.7 billion two quarters ago. The real market focus is on how capital spending will be guided for fiscal year 2027. Analysts expect about $220 billion. If it significantly exceeds that, worries about free cash flow will quickly intensify.
Next, Meta.
The market expects revenue of $60.26 billion, up 26.8% year-over-year, with earnings per share of $7.22, basically flat. In April, Meta raised its full-year capital expenditure guidance from $115 billion–$135 billion to $125 billion–$145 billion.
But multiple institutions warn this could be raised again. Bank of America believes that due to HBM and high-end compute hardware price increases, it could rise to $150 billion. Wells Fargo adjusted 2027 expectations to $181 billion, and JPMorgan is even more aggressive, predicting it could exceed $202 billion.
More troubling is cash flow. FactSet data shows Meta’s Q2 free cash flow could record a negative value exceeding $1 billion. The last spending increase triggered a 7% after-hours drop. If it happens again, market sentiment won’t be any kinder.
Finally, Amazon.
The market expects revenue of $196.2 billion, up 17% year-over-year, the fastest growth in five years, with earnings per share of $1.81. AWS is the biggest variable; the market expects AWS revenue growth to surpass 30% for the first time since 2022. Amazon’s 2026 capital expenditure guidance is about $200 billion. If free cash flow turns negative, the market won’t be kind.
Microsoft has $627 billion in commercial remaining performance obligations, Amazon has $244 billion in AWS contract backlog. The money is on the books but hasn’t turned into profit yet. Meta doesn’t have this contract-locked moat.
Impact on the crypto market.
The core contradiction of this earnings season is simple: money is being spent, but where is the return? If anyone dares to raise capital expenditure guidance at this critical moment, no matter how good the earnings look, the stock price will get hammered. Tech stocks crash, risk appetite drops, and Bitcoin will struggle to stand alone. Conversely, if anyone dares to provide a clear AI investment return timeline, the market will respond positively. The correlation between AI stocks and crypto tokens is rising because the macro drivers behind both—liquidity, growth expectations, speculative enthusiasm—are the same.
Don’t rush to sleep tonight, be patient, it’s going to be exciting
$SNDK $BTC $ETH #财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊今夜交卷 #停火48小时告吹, the US and Iran negotiated while fighting
The brief 48-hour temporary ceasefire has collapsed, and the US and Iran have returned to a state of friction, continuing military standoffs while not closing negotiation channels, putting the situation in a prolonged tug-of-war mode.
Previously, the market had priced in advance and fully eased expectations, causing oil prices to plunge rapidly. Now that the ceasefire has fallen through, the geopolitical risk premium has returned, but neither side intends to break out into a full-scale war; low-intensity conflict is highly likely, making it difficult to repeat the previous extreme rally.
Oil prices have repeatedly fluctuated, directly disrupting inflation expectations. If oil prices continue to rise, it will intensify market concerns about the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates, which will suppress the rebound potential of risk assets like BTC and ETH in the medium to long term.
I believe: the biggest feature of geopolitical news is repeated tug-of-war; don't bet on one side. This round is a recovery in expectations, not a continuation of conflict.
It is important to distinguish between two scenarios: only local disturbance = ranged oscillation; Once shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, a new wave of panic will be triggered.
Short-term avoidance of heavy positions in the game is news, and geopolitical situations can reverse at any time. Continue to track the status of strait navigation and key support pressures for oil prices.
What do you think: with the Middle East continuing to pull at each other, will it keep pushing up the global inflation center?昨天还以为只是情绪杀，今天一开盘，韩国存储股又被按了下去。 7月28日，KOSPI收跌10.84%，海力士跌14.65%，三星跌13.39%。到了今天，KOSPI盘中一度再跌12.6%，海力士一度跌16%，三星一度跌9.8%。连续两天这么砸，已经不是普通回调了。 更离谱的是，海力士今天刚交出一份创纪录的财报。 二季度营业利润60.54万亿韩元，同比涨了六倍多。可市场预期是64万亿，少了这么一点，股价照样挨打。 这说明存储行业现在的问题，不是赚不到钱，而是之前涨得太顺，大家把未来几年的好消息都算进去了。财报只要没有好到离谱，资金就先跑。 长鑫存储上市算是导火索。它募了86亿美元，市场担心这笔钱拿去扩产，以后普通DRAM供应增加，三星、海力士和美光的价格优势会被削弱。 不过也别把所有锅都甩给长鑫。长鑫目前主要做DDR和LPDDR，闪迪做的是NAND，产品并不完全重合。可闪迪照样跟着暴跌，美光上一交易日也跌了8.9%。 说白了，资金现在根本懒得区分。凡是“存储、芯片、AI硬件”这一篮子里的，先卖了再说。 还有一个原因更现实：杠杆太高。 韩国这波AI行情里，不少散户借钱买三星和海力士，还有大量The Federal Reserve's True Intentions, Historical Patterns, and Current Changes
#美联储即将公布利率决议
---
1. Core Viewpoint: The Federal Reserve's Real Goal Is Not Inflation, But Capital Flows
· The market generally misunderstands that the Fed focuses on inflation itself, but the real key is the global flow of capital.
· Kevin Warsh pursues a scenario of "high inflation + high interest rates" coexisting, with two purposes:
1. To help the U.S. bottom-fish global quality assets;
2. To suppress gold prices.
---
2. Three-Step Operation: The Classic "Drain-Bottom-Floodgate" Harvesting Pattern
Step One: Tighten the Faucet — Create Expectations of Rate Hikes
· Release rate hike signals to guide global dollars to actively return to the U.S. chasing high yields.
· Funds gather into dollar assets, and liquidity in peripheral markets begins to dry up.
Step Two: Coordinate with Geopolitical Conflicts — Maintain High Oil Prices
· The Middle East situation helps keep oil prices high, further increasing inflation pressure in peripheral markets.
· Peripheral market funds are squeezed by "liquidity withdrawal + high oil price inflation," causing asset prices to continue falling.
Step Three: Pool Bottoms Out — Open the Floodgate to Bottom-Fish
· When overseas quality asset prices drop low enough, U.S. capital uses the returning low-cost dollars for large-scale acquisitions.
· Achieve re-pricing of global resources, minerals, energy infrastructure, etc.
---
3. Historical Comparison: An Unchanging Logic
· The Volcker moment in 1980: raising interest rates to 20%, ostensibly to fight inflation, but resulted in the Latin American debt crisis, allowing the U.S. to reprice Latin American mineral and energy assets.
· Today's tools are more covert, but the core logic is the same:
· High inflation → always an excuse for rate hikes;
· Rate hike expectations → capital continuously returns to the U.S.;
· Dollar return → peripheral assets remain under pressure and decline;
· Asset decline → U.S. capital bottoms out at lower cost.
---
4. Why Gold Is Suppressed Below $4000/oz
· The "high inflation + high interest rates" combination is ideal:
· It provides ample reason not to cut rates;
· It continuously pressures peripheral asset prices.
· Gold, as a non-yielding asset, is pressured in a high interest rate environment and constrained by a strong dollar regime, thus suppressed long-term.
---
5. The Biggest Current Variable: The Formation of Bypass Capabilities
· Although the Fed tries to block capital outflow channels, whether it can truly "block" depends on whether global bypass capabilities exist.
· Three major bypass channels are accelerating:
1. Promotion of the RMB cross-border settlement system;
2. Southeast Asian supply chain substitution;
3. Diversification of Middle East energy exports (reducing dependence on dollar pricing).
· The growth of these channels will significantly reduce the efficiency of the Fed's "draining machine."
---
6. The Eastern Great Power's Response Strategy
· To avoid the dollar "draining machine" system, multiple strategic layouts have been advanced simultaneously in recent years:
1. Accelerate converting foreign exchange reserves into physical resources (energy, minerals) and physical gold;
2. Promote RMB's settlement share in bulk commodity trading;
3. Accelerate the construction of Hong Kong's gold clearing system to create a gold circulation node independent of the dollar.
· Essentially, this builds an alternative path bypassing the dollar cycle.
---
7. Insights for Ordinary People
· The significance of understanding the logic: distinguish real opportunities from traps, maintain long-term confidence in gold and quality assets.
· Current environment: global major assets are all in the red, confidence is more important than gold.
· Core strategies:
· Understand the market's inherent cyclical patterns to avoid falling at the lowest point;
· Maintain an independent logical framework for thinking;
· Keep contrarian thinking ability to find opportunities amid panic.
---
Summary: The Fed's current high interest rate policy is not simply to fight inflation but serves a deep strategy of capital return and global asset repricing. However, this "drain-bottom" model faces challenges from the rise of bypass capabilities. For investors, understanding this logical framework is key to maintaining composure amid volatility and seizing opportunities from cycle reversals.Just so you understand, $HYPE dominates around 55% of the total buyback value in the last 7 days.
1. @HyperliquidX | Perp DEX / L1
7-day buyback: $6.59M
7-day value change: -20.2%
7-day price change: -2.4%
2. @Pumpfun | Memecoin Launchpad
7-day buyback: $2.45M
7-day change in value: -5.4%
7-day price change: +11.4%
3. @chainlink | Oracle/Infra
7-day buyback: $1.18M
7-day value change: +6.0%
7-day price change: +2.4%
The key points?
HYPE really dominated the story, about 55% of the total 7-day buyback from the 13 projects I monitored (about $12.0M in total). That's why the weekly decrease of -20.2% and monthly -36.4% in HYPE is very impactful.
If the trend of HYPE's revenue-based buyback continues to decline, this will eliminate the main demand balancing factor in the group.
The @Raydium lifetime buyback of 62.89% of the released supply has a strong structural significance, although the weekly pace is slowing. Total volume and frequency are equally important.
This week's price movements are quite mixed compared to the intensity of the buyback. For example, $ASTER up 187.7% in a 30-day buyback but the price is almost flat +0.2%. Meanwhile, $PUMP rose 50.2% in 30 days and prices rose +11.4%. So the conclusion of buyback = price rise instantly is a weak generalization.
What I am monitoring going forward:
1. The results of the next 7 days and 30 days of HYPE to confirm whether the revenue has really slowed down.
2. JUP and LIT, whether their 7-day sharp decline continues or not (risk of cost competition).
3. Unusual one-time announcements or buybacks from small projects that could disrupt percentage-based signals.
Source: @Tokenomist_aiSouth Korean chip crash overnight! Behind the 75% drop, is the biggest AI crisis coming?
Can you believe it?
A month ago, the world's hottest AI storage chip was still a hot commodity chased by capital.
A month later, it had become a "meat grinder" for retail investors.
The South Korean stock market plunged 11% yesterday, triggering circuit breakers for the eighth time this year.
It's worth noting that South Korea's circuit breaker mechanism has been in use for 25 years, but in the past 25 years, it has only been triggered six times.
As a result, in just 7 months this year, the number of visits directly exceeded the total of the past 25 years.
SK Hynix fell 14%, and Samsung Electronics dropped 13%.
Hong Kong Southern Holdings Southern 2x went long on the SK Hynix ETF, which plunged 75% in just one month.
This is no longer an ordinary adjustment.
This is a massive flight of leveraged funds.
Many people's first reaction is:
Is the memory chip failing?
Is the AI story stuck on the road?
But the truth may be quite the opposite.
SK Hynix is about to release its Q2 financial report, with the market expecting quarterly profits to exceed 64 trillion KRW, with a profit margin possibly exceeding 75%, setting a new historical high.
Samsung's second-quarter profit surged 1810% year-on-year.
The performance was so good it exploded, but the stock price crashed.
What does this indicate?
This crash is not due to fundamental problems with the companies.
The real problem can be summed up in two words:
Leverage.
In May this year, South Korea approved 16 leveraged ETFs, all betting on Samsung and SK Hynix.
Tracking double daily price movements.
In just one month, the scale skyrocketed from $3 billion to $9.1 billion.
Of these, 92% is retail investors.
When prices rose, everyone felt they had grasped the AI code of wealth.
But when the market reversed, leverage began to backfire.
Decline.
Triggered to close the position.
Closing positions and continuing to sell the market.
More accounts are liquidated.
Then continue closing the position.
This is the most brutal death cycle in the capital market.
On July 13, South Korea closed at 344.2 billion won in a single day.
320,000 accounts lost their principal.
Some even owe money to brokers.
Doubling the Hong Kong stock market and going long on the SK Hynix ETF is even worse.
At the end of June, it was still standing at a high of 193 HKD.
It has now dropped to around HKD 42, a decline of nearly 78%.
Why did the underlying stock drop 40%, while the ETF fell 78%?
Because leveraged ETFs have a fatal flaw:
It only guarantees double the amount per day.
No guarantee of double the long-term duration.
The more severe the market volatility, the more severe the rebalancing losses.
You think that bottom-fishing after a drop can earn you double the price and rebound.
But the reality is:
You might have lost your capital before the rebound even begins.
However, what truly shatters market illusions is not just leverage.
But faith began to loosen.
Over the past two years, the rise of Korean chip stocks has been driven by one logic:
In the global storage market, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are all in control.
With AI demand continuously growing, chip prices keep rising.
But now, this story is being changed by China.
On July 27, Changxin Technology was listed on the STAR Market.
On the first day, it surged 465%.
Its market value reached 3.28 trillion yuan, even surpassing Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, making it the focus of the A-share market.
Nomura expects Changxin Technology's global market share to rise from 10% to 18%.
The global DRAM market may shift from a "three-player competition" to a "four-way competition."
The pricing power of South Korean chip giants is being weakened.
Even bigger changes come from Nvidia.
The market is beginning to worry:
NVIDIA is no longer just a "shovel seller" selling AI chips.
It is becoming the financial pressure on the entire AI industry chain.
As the market reassesses the risks of the AI industry chain, those past wildly soaring valuations must also be recalculated.
More importantly:
SK Hynix and NVIDIA have signed a large number of long-term orders.
Retail investors saw positive news.
But what institutions see is pressure.
Because orders lock in sales, they may also limit future profit elasticity.
So here's the question:
Is the plunge in South Korea's storage system bad or good for A-shares?
My view:
In the short term, emotional shocks are bound to exist.
The storage sector may continue to fall in tandem.
But in the medium to long term, this could actually become a new catalyst for domestic substitution.
The harder South Korea falls, the more it shows that China's storage industry is facing new opportunities.
On Changxin's first day of listing, transactions reached hundreds of billions, and global capital is refocusing on China Storage.
But this is a completely different logic from Korean retail investors using leverage to bet on a single stock.
What really deserves attention is not how much South Korea has dropped.
It's about how far China's storage industry chain can go.
Behind Changxin's IPO, there are eight companies in the industry chain:
AMEC is responsible for etching equipment;
Montage Technology is responsible for memory interface chips;
Tuojing Technology is responsible for thin film deposition;
Anji Technology is responsible for polishing liquid;
Tongfu Microelectronics is responsible for packaging and testing.
There are only two core logics behind them:
Domestic substitution.
Capacity expansion.
The decline in South Korea's storage sector is due to the market repricing the oligopoly premium.
The rise in China's storage sector is a value reassessment driven by industry breakthroughs.
This is completely different logic.
One last reminder:
Never easily touch high-leverage products.
Leverage amplified not just returns.
And your rate of loss.
Next, SK Hynix's financial report will become a key short-term node.
If management sends positive signals, the market may see a recovery in sentiment.
But if capital expenditure continues to expand, the pressure may persist.
However, regardless of short-term fluctuations, one thing is happening:
The global storage industry is moving from oligopoly to multi-party competition.
This era can never go back. $$SNDK $ETH Population decline + AI revolution could fundamentally change the world in the next 20 years.
In the past, economic growth relied on a demographic dividend. The more people there are, the more factories, the more consumption, and the easier the houses sell.
In the future, economic growth may increasingly depend on productivity. AI and robots are constantly replacing repetitive labor, allowing one person to complete the work of a team that used to be the same.
This means the importance of labor may decline, while the importance of assets will rise.
What will truly be scarce in the future is no longer labor but outstanding talent, quality companies, and assets that can continuously generate cash flow.
Housing will become increasingly differentiated. Not all housing prices will fall, but rather that population continues to flow to core cities. Ordinary cities become more ordinary, and core cities become more central.
Consumption will also change. There are fewer and fewer children, but each child is more involved; The number of young people decreases, but the silver economy, pet economy, and high-quality services will continue to grow.
Many people worry about AI competing for jobs, but I actually think the bigger change is the population structure. Population decline changes demand, AI boosts supply—these two forces combine to reconstruct the entire economic logic.
In the future, the competition will no longer be about who has more population, but who has higher productivity, better talent, and more high-quality assets. #美联储即将公布利率决议 $BTC 🙀BTC's correlation with the Nasdaq has dropped to 0.21—has it really decoupled this time?
📊In Q2 2026, BTC's daily correlation coefficient with the S&P 500 dropped to 0.12, remaining at 0.58 in Q4 2025; the correlation with the Nasdaq was about 0.21 over the same period, the weakest in nearly a decade.
👉👈 The community has seen two sharply opposing interpretations of this data.
🔍 First, let's clarify: What does the correlation coefficient mean?
The correlation coefficient ranges from -1 to 1. 1 represents complete simultaneous rises and falls; 0 means completely irrelevant; -1 means completely reversed.
What does 0.58 mean? BTC and the Nasdaq move in the same direction 60% of the time, essentially being "one member of the risk asset basket."
What does 0.12 mean? Nearly statistically "basically unrelated"—the price trends of the two are almost independent on a daily basis.
From 0.58 to 0.12, it is not a small fluctuation but a structural change in order of magnitude.
🎙️ What do the two camps say?
The logic of the decoupling camp: After ETF approval, the main BTC pricing body changed. Previously, BTC was driven by crypto-native funds and retail investor sentiment, which are highly in sync with tech stocks; Now, pensions, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices are entering through ETFs, and the allocation logic for these funds is "alternative asset diversification," not "risk appetite switch." When the pricing entity changes, relevance naturally declines.
The logic of the illusionists: low correlation during calm periods revives during stress tests. This week, chip stocks crashed, and BTC still fell nearly $3,000 in a single day—once risk appetite contracted, "irrelevant" turned back into "falling together." The low correlation coefficient describes daily conditions and does not represent performance under extreme market conditions. True decoupling is when BTC can strengthen against the trend during crises, but so far, we haven't seen it.
🎯 Which is closer to the truth?
Both schools are correct, but they are describing different time dimensions.
In everyday context: Correlation is indeed structurally declining, and the diversification of capital sources brought by ETFs is real.
Under extreme pressure: When a liquidity crisis hits, all assets are sold off together, and BTC is no exception.
😂ᥬ᭄ So the real question worth tracking isn't "what is the current correlation," but rather: when the next systemic risk hits, will BTC fall first and then become independent, or will it fall along with it to the bottom?

Opening positions at 1.1488—this rally is like riding a rocket. Even seasoned investors know this kind of rapid rally tests your mindset.
To be honest, I dared to buy near 1.14 because I saw it break through the long-term sideways consolidation range, and the trading volume suddenly surged. The market feeling told me—the main players are about to stir things up. Many people think the price increase is too big to chase, but I actually believe that the explosive power in the early stages of this breakthrough is the strongest; hesitation is just giving others an opportunity. Of course, 50x leverage carries extremely high risk. I keep my position under 10% and set my stop-loss at 1.12. Even if there's a pullback, it won't hurt me badly.

I said it's about financial management
She doesn't know that my financial management is about buying coins
She also didn't know that the Korean stock market had dropped 8% yesterday
Retail investors are forced to close positions, and the sidecar mechanism is triggered directly
On Changxin's first day of listing, it drained all liquidity
Then guess what
BTC only fell 3%, but today it rose back to 63,965
The connection between crypto and Korean stocks is much weaker than expected
This is the deepest feeling I've had lately
I used to think Bitcoin and Nasdaq were interconnected
It also links with Asian stock markets
But this time, South Korea plunged 8%, and BTC only fluctuated briefly before recovering
Decoupling is underway
Why did the Korean stock market plunge?
The apparent reason is that Changxin went public and drew 300 billion yuan
The deeper reason is that retail investors in South Korea are overly leveraged
Bank credit lines are trapped by AI storage stocks
Once the margin is insufficient, the forced liquidation chain is triggered
But today it has rebounded, with SK Hynix +4%, Samsung +6%
The tightest period of cash flow may have already passed
There is also good news on the market side of the forecasting market
The United States has suspended state-level bans on forecasting markets
Polymarket finally doesn't have to sue the states
This represents an institutional relaxation of the entire prediction market track
So my judgment is that narrative is being repriced
The linkage between crypto and traditional risk assets is weakening
For long-term holders, this is more important than any short-term gain
Coincidentally, there are still a few hot topics worth discussing today
#苹果公司市值重回全球首位, surpassing Nvidia
The core narrative behind the Korean stock market crash is not fundamentals deterioration, but lever stampede. Changxin's IPO withdrew a large amount of funds, triggering a liquidation chain. Today's rebound confirmed this assessment. Similar events will happen again in the future, and each time could be a time to buy the dip.

The market is really getting harder and harder to do now
Looking at the storage sector these past couple of days, my biggest impression is one thing:
It's not that the performance is poor, but that the market's demands are too high.
SK Hynix's latest financial report delivers a report card that can almost be described as the "best in history."
Q2 revenue reached 79.3 trillion KRW, up about 257% year-on-year; Operating profit reached 60.5 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 557%, both setting new company records. AI servers and HBM (High Bandwidth Storage) remain the biggest growth engines.
Logically, such financial reports should have surged. But the result was completely the opposite.
SK Hynix's stock price once fell nearly 10% intraday, with the entire storage sector experiencing sharp fluctuations, and storage concepts like Micron and SanDisk in the US market also came under pressure.
Why?
I think the reason is quite simple
Although this financial report set a record, both revenue and operating profit were slightly below market expectations. At the same time, the company mentioned that the shipment pace of some advanced HBM products has been delayed, and price increases have not been as aggressive as investors had imagined.
To put it bluntly, it's not that SK Hynix has worsened, but that the market has previously raised expectations too high.
It reminds me of a saying: In a bull market, earnings need to exceed expectations to rise; If it only meets expectations, it can all be considered negative.
Combined with the recent global plunge in storage stocks triggered by Changxin Technology's IPO a few days ago, looking at these two events together, the market is actually starting to worry about the same thing—
AI storage is still booming, but future competition may be fiercer than before.
However, I have not changed my long-term view of the entire AI storage industry because of this.
AI computing power continues to expand. Tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon plan to invest hundreds of billions of dollars this year to build AI infrastructure, with HBM remaining one of the most urgently needed core components. SK Hynix itself stated that it has signed long-term supply agreements with major customers and expects AI-related demand to continue at least beyond 2027.
So in my view, this is more like a valuation adjustment, not an industry turning point.
What truly deserves attention in the future isn't who earned a few trillions more this quarter.
But three questions:
* When will HBM supply and demand begin to ease?
* When will new players like Changxin truly enter the high-end market?
* Can AI capital expenditure maintain its current pace?
These three questions will determine how far the next round of the storage stock market can go.
# #海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations
Guys, I heard Korean investors have been suffering these past few days!
SK Hynix's Q2 profit surged 557%, hitting a record high, but still failed to meet market expectations, and revenue was also somewhat disappointing. Why? Because HBM's proportion was too high, so it failed to benefit from the price hikes of conventional storage. As soon as the earnings came out, the stock price was hit first, and management frantically reassured at the call: AI investment hasn't slowed, HBM4 is in mass production, long-term orders locked in for 5 years...... After the market closed, it turned positive, with Korean stocks Hynix up +4% and Samsung up +6% this morning.
The storage sector is now a typical case of "strong fundamentals + valuation anxiety" coexisting. On one side, US AI hardware was collectively hammered the day before (like SanDisk down 16%); on the other, Seagate's capacity is locked in by 2028, and customer plans are for 2029. This shows that everyone fears high-level bubbles but is reluctant to let go of the true long-term cycle.
Don't let short-term fluctuations scare you off your positions, but don't blindly use leverage to chase highs. Focus on HBM's shipment pace and customers' long-term orders fulfilled, and wait until sentiment cools down to see if there are buying opportunities. Storing up this wave isn't something you can do overnight; those who survive last profit the most.
Stay calm, don't panic.#海力士业绩创纪录但不及预期, storage stocks experienced sharp fluctuations
Record profits have only led to a sharp drop, which is nothing new in financial markets.
Retail investors look at the absolute numbers in earnings reports, while major funds focus on the gap in expectations.
The early AI frenzy drove the valuations of SK Hynix and the entire storage sector skyrocketing. The market not only overdrew the excess profits brought by HBM, but even mapped out the big picture for the coming years. When expectations are pushed to the limit, any performance that doesn't far exceed them is actually a negative factor.
This is a long-planned liquidity harvest.
Taking advantage of the timing of earnings releases, the main funds took advantage of retail investors' liquidity rushing in at record profits to buy bargains, completing extremely smooth high-level distributions.
You think you've bought a high-quality asset that has pulled back, but in reality, you're taking on a capital chip that makes institutions profitable several times over. The storage industry itself is highly cyclical. Aside from the shortage of HBM on the AI side, demand from traditional PCs and mobile phones remains very weak. Once the market begins to worry about the sustainability of tech giants' AI capital expenditures, the sector's valuation cuts are just beginning.
You absolutely cannot bottom-fish now. Sharp fluctuations mean a huge divergence between bulls and bears, and the chips are undergoing extremely brutal distribution and rotation. In a clear breakdown downtrend, the large shocks at high levels are often just relays to the decline, never a signal of bottoming.
The real bottom has never been this kind of jumping script, but rather a stagnant water with shrinking volume after continuous declines. Catching this inertia and accelerating throwing knife now is like using your capital to test how sharp the main players' slashing scythe is.
Patiently wait for market sentiment to collapse further. The entire storage sector still needs to fall another 15% to 20% to completely crush the currently holding long margin markets. Only when the market experiences a desperate volume surge and then moves into a flat, low-volume sideways consolidation is the truly safe entry time.🚨 Is South Korea Flashing an Early Warning for Global Markets?
South Korea just sent another shockwave through financial markets. 🇰🇷📉
The KOSPI triggered a Level 1 circuit breaker after a sharp sell-off, with major tech names like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix ($SKHY) among the biggest contributors to the decline.
And this matters.
South Korea has a history of reacting quickly when global risk sentiment starts to crack. We saw major stress during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, funding pressure ahead of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and another brutal sell-off during the 2020 COVID crash.
Of course, every crisis is different. But Korea's highly open financial markets and heavy foreign participation often make them a useful barometer for global investor sentiment.
Now, the spotlight is also on semiconductors.
Despite strong performance from companies like SK Hynix, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about future earnings, competition, valuations, and whether AI-driven chip demand can keep delivering at the same pace.
So, is this the beginning of a global downturn?
Not necessarily.
But when a major export-driven economy starts seeing aggressive selling in its most important technology stocks, it's definitely something investors should keep watching.
The next moves from the Fed, Big Tech earnings, corporate guidance, and global liquidity could determine whether this is just a temporary shakeout—or the start of something much bigger.
⚠️ South Korea may not be predicting a global crisis. But it's certainly telling us that risk appetite is being tested.
#FedRateDecision #BigTechEarningsNight #SKHynixRecordMiss
#DailyOrbit $XAU The market is now clear. Looking at the downward trend that started this week, we are currently testing and responding. What we need to do now is wait for a breakout trend, or wait for the 4020 bottom to be restored.
Most likely, it will continue to rise. A breakout at 4045 should be watched for upward speed. If it continues to move sideways downward, wait for the Federal Reserve's rate decision announcement. If the breakout rate is strong, follow the trend and look for the 4090 area.
Operation:
Currently, it is at a trend suppression level, so the kong here is highly probable.
4045 Kong, target 4020, defense 4050.
If you break position, 4050 do, target 4090, exit mid-game in the short term, defend 4042.Apple's closing market value was $4.9 trillion, reclaiming the top spot globally after more than a year. The timing and manner of this happen are worth discussing
$AAPL $NVDA
This time, Nvidia was not overtaken because of its own problems, but was actively sold. On the same day, chip stocks collectively fell as funds switched defensively, shifting from the computing power chain to consumer technology. This switch itself is a signal, signaling that market confidence in AI capital spending is weakening
I've always felt that Apple has been seriously undervalued in this AI rally
Nvidia's logic is to sell shovels—the stronger the AI demand, the more it earns. Apple's logic is different; it's the terminal, the ultimate place where AI is implemented. Over the past year, everyone has been watching who sold the most GPUs, overlooking one thing: AI money ultimately comes from users' pockets, and Apple controls the world's most powerful consumers. If Apple Intelligence truly starts monetizing with this year's new iPhones, it will be a completely different revenue structure
Another point: Apple doesn't owe money; NVIDIA is currently providing financing guarantees for others
After news broke last week that Nvidia had secured $250 billion in guarantees for OpenAI's Ohio data center, the market reacted by a sharp increase in CDS pricing. The bond market has begun to take credit risk seriously. Apple still holds nearly $200 billion in cash on its books, with stable dividends and ongoing buybacks. In a high interest rate environment, this balance sheet is a true moat
So this market cap shift isn't entirely sentimental; part of it is rational asset reallocation
Tonight, Microsoft and Meta's earnings will be released after hours, and tomorrow Apple's own earnings will follow. If Apple Intelligence's user growth exceeds expectations in Apple's financial report, or if service revenue hits new highs, becoming number one in market value won't happen in just a day
Conversely, Nvidia's situation tomorrow is more complicated, having to wait for tech giants' capital spending guidance on the same day as the FOMC. Good news has already been priced in, and bad news is more elastic
$BTC Current price is 63,971, up 1.34%. Market sentiment slightly improved before today's earnings report, but the direction has not yet been decided
Apple's surpassing of NVIDIA can be seen as a rotation signal—where the money from AI shovel stocks is flowing, and it's worth watchingThe hardest part of trading is not finding entry points, but having the patience to hold positions. Let's talk about this long position in $AEON.
The average entry price was 0.07572, the mark price is 0.10751, with a profit of +840.72%.
During the earlier prolonged consolidation phase, the main players kept creating panic moves, causing many to exit early due to the volatility and miss the subsequent rally. Once the chips were sufficiently concentrated, the market naturally broke upwards, and profits were smoothly realized.
For long positions, never be greedy and hold on stubbornly; lock in existing profits in batches and manage risk based on support levels below.
Friends without positions need not rush to enter; after a sustained rise, a pullback and consolidation are highly likely, and chasing at high levels carries higher risk.
The market never lacks opportunities. I will promptly share quality layout opportunities going forward. $KAITO $BEAT #美联储即将公布利率决议 #财报观察员：微软Meta亚马逊今夜交卷 Tonight, Microsoft and Meta are not delivering earnings reports, but AI utility reimbursement bills.
Both companies will release their results after the U.S. stock market closes, with Amazon following the next night. Revenue is of course important, but the market is really focused on whether Azure and ad growth can keep up with the rapidly increasing AI capital expenditures.
In the past, just mentioning "AI" would boost valuations; now, you have to first calculate data center electricity costs, GPU depreciation, and payment cycles. Google's previous earnings beat expectations, yet the market still punished it for continuing to increase capital expenditures.
If revenue growth can't keep pace with the burn rate, the growth story will soon be renamed the fixed asset renovation diary.
Tonight, who earns more is less important; first, let's see who can prove that this AI money isn't just buying a lifetime membership for data centers.

It's a liquidity problem.
$BTC fell from around $66K to $63K and is now testing a critical area near $62K. This isn't isolated weakness—risk assets across the board are feeling the pressure.
The bigger story is the drain in U.S. dollar liquidity.
Capital has been rotating out of risk assets ahead of Thursday's Fed decision. Whether rates are held or raised, traders have already started positioning for uncertainty.
One thing makes this meeting especially interesting:
It's the first Fed decision under Waller's leadership.
He's widely viewed as a data-driven policymaker who focuses more on economic data than market reactions, making it harder for investors to anticipate the Fed's tone.
That uncertainty alone is enough to keep volatility elevated.
The next 48 hours could set the tone for both stocks and crypto.
Stay patient. The market is about to get its answer.

In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $282 million, with long positions accounting for $264 million. Including yesterday's wave, longs have been liquidated for nearly $1.2 billion over two days.
Tonight's FOMC results are out, and the market pricing is very divided. The interest rate futures market sees a 70% chance of rates remaining unchanged and a 30% chance of a hike. However, economists are almost unanimously expecting no rate hike—among 76 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, not a single one expects a hike tonight. This divergence itself is amplifying volatility.
From a technical perspective, there is support around 63,000, but the strength of that support depends on what the Fed says tonight. If dovish, BTC could quickly rebound above 66,000. If hawkish, 62,000 or even 60,000 could be tested. $BTC Only 6 countercoins have liquidity left, and some are actually buying; the other 94 have ✨ cooled off. The rebound you see—is it really capital entering the market? I just finished reviewing the derivatives structure, and the A/D ratio dropped to 0.2—for every 1 altcoin that rises, 5 are falling. This is not emotional panic, but structural capital screening. The market is not playing rotation now; it is doing subtraction: - Leveraged funds only dare to concentrate on assets with "real returns," such as $ETHFI, $EIGEN, $PENDLE, $LDO, $STG, $USDe. What they are trading is not a story, but sustainable cash flow. - The remaining 94 altcoins — including $UNI, $AAVE, $CRV, $KSM, $COMP, $DYM, $SAGA, $MON, $BERA, $PORTAL — either sideways or sold off. It's not that they're bad, but that the derivatives market is no longer willing to provide liquidity for them. Why is this so crucial? Because the structure of derivatives reveals a hidden signal: smart money is avoiding high-volatility, low-liquidity assets and instead betting on those with "lock-in demand." For example, $PENDLE's yield tokenization essentially discounts future returns in advance, which requires the market to have long-term confidence in the underlying protocol. $USDe is using synthetic dollars to capture stablecoin premiums—these are not short-term speculation, but structural positions. My understanding is: now is not the time to choose "fast rising."MicroStrategy's Q2 earnings report includes several figures worth considering.
The company holds 847,363 BTC, with a book value of $54.1 billion.
In the second quarter, it increased holdings by 1,038 BTC at an average price of $67,000, spending about $70 million. Compared to the pace of buying about 50,000 BTC in the first quarter, the pace of accumulation has clearly slowed.
CEO Phong Le said during the conference call that he plans to continue increasing his holdings, but CFO Andrew Kang's data was more honest—cash reserves recovered from 860 million to 1.4 billion, mainly raised by selling stocks to raise 1.9 billion. mNAV has fallen below 1, with the stock price dropping to around $120, down more than 80% from its peak. The cycle of buying coins at a premium has been broken; cash reserves grow by selling stocks, not by the premium offered by the market. Bank of America analysts say that if BTC continues to fluctuate between 60,000 and 70,000, MicroStrategy's financing capacity will remain limited. $BTC Several signals have emerged on the miner side this week. On July 29, miners' wallet balances dropped to 1.193 million BTC, hitting a nearly one-month low.

In terms of mining costs, JPMorgan Chase estimates the average Bitcoin production cost at about $78,000, with the current price at $64,000, meaning about 20% of miners are still operating at a loss. Total network hash rate has steadily fallen from a peak of 986 EH/s in early July to the current range of 903-948 EH/s, declining for several consecutive weeks.

This quarter, the company's operating cash flow reached $906.4 million, and capital returns to shareholders, including dividends and stock repurchases, totaled $876.3 million. The abundant cash flow level ensures a continuous shareholder return plan, maintaining high financial health for KLA Corpor...
From the perspective of the split business fundamentals, the core driver of the performance improvement comes from the expansion demand in AI computing infrastructure, advanced process, and high-end storage industries. Currently, major global technology companies are heavily investing in data centers and iterating advanced chip processes. The rigid demand for wafer inspection and process control equipment continues to be released. As the leader in this sector, KLA's products are deeply tied to orders from leading wafer fabs such as TSMC and Samsung. The process control business steadily accounts for nearly 90% of the company's revenue, with product and supporting service income both achieving double-digit year-over-year growth. Management stated in the earnings call that the demand for advanced packaging and high-performance chip inspection driven by the AI industry will continue to rise. It is estimated that in the second half of 2026, the company's revenue has about a 20% upside compared to the first half, indicating the industry's prosperity cycle has continuity.
Although the fundamental data in the financial report is positive, KLAC's stock price dropped 6.2% intraday after the earnings release, mainly because the previous stock price had fully priced in the optimistic expectations, combined with market concerns about the overall high valuation of the semiconductor sector, resulting in a typical "good news priced in" scenario. However, the solid revenue and cash flow data in this report still provide fundamental support for the semiconductor equipment sector, confirming that upstream equipment demand has not weakened, offsetting the sector's pessimism caused by the peak in the memory cycle. From a medium- to long-term perspective, the equipment procurement wave driven by AI computing expansion will not fade in the short term. KLA, with its industry monopoly position, has a solid foundation for performance growth. Future tracking of industry capital expenditure rhythms and downstream wafer fab expansion plans can help assess the sustainability of the equipment industry's prosperity.

A key signal is that the exchange deposit rate for US dollar stablecoins is steadily rising, already approaching the levels seen in December 2024. The last time BTC reached this level, it rose more than 50% over the next two months.
The money waited outside the arena, but it hadn't come in yet. No one dared to make the first move before the FOMC. After tonight's results are realized, if the direction leans dovish, the money may flow back quickly. If the hawkish stance is favored, it may continue to stay on the sidelines in stablecoins.
$BTC US stocks sell chips, but A-shares buy chips?
Recently, the global semiconductor market has seen an interesting divergence.
US Stocks:
AI hardware adjustments.
A-shares:
Some semiconductor companies have seen capital inflows.
Why?
U.S. stock logic:
The U.S. market previously saw significant gains in AI.
Institutions pay more attention:
Valuation.
Profits are realized.
Funds began to reduce high-valuation positions.
A-share logic:
More deals in Chinese semiconductors:
Domestic substitution.
Industrial policy.
Long-term growth potential.
As a result:
The more it falls, the more people are paying attention.
The two markets are not contradictory.
US Stocks:
Focus on the profitability of global AI leaders.
A-shares:
Focus on the growth of the domestic industry chain.
What truly matters is:
Is there long-term demand in the semiconductor industry?
As of now:
AI servers.
Advanced manufacturing.
Chip localization.
It remains an important direction in the coming years.At 2 a.m. Beijing time on July 30, the Federal Reserve announced its interest rate decision.
This meeting has been called "the most difficult to predict in recent years" by multiple institutions.
CME FedWatch shows: a 69.5% probability of keeping rates unchanged, and a 30.5% probability of a 25 basis point hike.
What does a 30% chance of a rate hike mean?
It means the market does not consider "holding steady" as a done deal.
A month ago, this figure was 10%.
In just a few weeks, oil prices broke $100, tariffs were implemented, and AI demand continued to drive growth — a triple shock that completely reversed the inflation narrative.
Citibank bluntly stated: this is "the most divided moment since September 2024."
What’s more troublesome — after Waller took office, the Fed completely abolished "forward guidance."
No guidance, no signals, no direction.
Bianco Research’s president summed it up in one sentence: "No forward guidance means we will frequently see probability distributions of 20%, 30%, 40%."
It used to be an open-book exam; now it’s a closed-book guessing game.
Three scenarios, three preparations:
Scenario 1: 25 basis point rate hike (30% probability)
Short-term positive for the dollar, negative for tech stocks, Bitcoin, and gold.
JPMorgan predicts: S&P 500 down 1.5%-2%, Nasdaq 100’s decline could double.
But note — if Waller hints at "this is the last hike" during the press conference, the drop could quickly reverse.
The key is the latter part of the sentence, not the former.
Scenario 2: Hold steady + dovish tilt (about 50% probability)
Risk assets celebrate.
But beware of "buy the rumor, sell the fact" — the market has already priced in a 70% chance of holding steady. If the dovish tone isn’t dovish enough, it could lead to a gap up followed by a decline.
Scenario 3: Hold steady + hawkish tilt (Hamrick and Logan dissenting votes)
This is JPMorgan’s baseline forecast.
The market first rises (holding steady) then falls (hawkish signal) — a V-shaped move designed to trap momentum chasers.In-depth Preview of Tonight's Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision: Three Major Scenarios and Full Asset Market Projections
I. Core Basic Information of the Meeting
The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting will be held on July 28-29 Eastern Time, with the interest rate decision announced at 2:00 AM Beijing Time on July 30, followed by a press conference by Chair Wash at 2:30 AM.
1. Current benchmark interest rate: 3.50%-3.75%, unchanged for five consecutive meetings;
2. This meeting will not release a dot plot or the latest economic forecast summary. The market's main focus is not on whether to raise rates but on the hawkish or dovish tone of the policy statement, officials' voting splits, and guidance on the September rate hike window;
3. CME interest rate futures pricing: 66.3% probability of holding rates steady, 33.7% probability of a 25bp hike, almost zero chance of a rate cut, with expectations for rate cuts postponed entirely until 2027.
II. Policy Contradictions: The Fed's Dilemma
1. Arguments supporting a pause in rate hikes (dovish arguments)
1. Inflation data shows marginal cooling: June US CPI year-over-year at 3.5%, month-over-month down 0.4%, the first monthly decline since the 2020 pandemic, with a sharp drop in energy prices easing inflation pressure;
2. Labor market mildly weakening: June nonfarm payrolls increased by only 57,000, labor demand gradually cooling, no overheating risk;
3. Market pricing is sufficient: institutions generally expect no change in July, a rash rate hike could trigger a sharp global risk asset sell-off and exacerbate capital outflows from emerging markets.
2. Arguments favoring another rate hike (hawkish arguments)
1. Energy inflation resurgence: Middle East geopolitical tensions escalate, Brent crude oil returns to $90/barrel, continued oil price rises will push overall inflation back up, hindering the return to the 2% inflation target;
2. FOMC internal division: half of the 18 voting members publicly support a rate hike this year, hawkish officials like Logan and Kashkari continue to signal tightening, this meeting may see multiple dissenting votes;
3. New chair's policy stance: Wash's core goal upon taking office is to consolidate the Fed's anti-inflation credibility; prematurely signaling easing could stimulate a rebound in inflation expectations.
III. Three Major Scenario Projections + Full Asset Price Reactions
Scenario 1: Baseline Scenario (70% probability) Hold rates steady, press conference tone leans hawkish
1. Policy details: rates remain at 3.50%-3.75%, the statement retains wording that "rate hikes will continue if inflation rebounds," Wash explicitly does not rule out a September hike, multiple hawkish officials cast dissenting votes;
2. Asset market reactions:
• USD and US Treasuries: Treasury yields rise slightly, dollar index spikes briefly;
• US stocks: rise then fall, Nasdaq tech growth stocks under pressure, value sectors relatively resilient;
• Gold: quick short-term pullback, rising real rates suppress precious metal valuations;
• Cryptocurrencies (BTC/ETH): follow US stocks down, rebound without volume ends, resistance at $65,000 strengthens.
Scenario 2: Pessimistic Surprise Scenario (30% probability) Rate hike of 25 basis points
1. Policy details: direct rate increase to 3.75%-4.00%, sending a strong anti-inflation signal, clearly indicating at least one more hike this year;
2. Asset market reactions:
• USD and US Treasuries: yields jump sharply, dollar index surges strongly;
• US stocks: broad sell-off, Nasdaq declines widen to 1.5%-2%, AI and chip growth stocks lead losses;
• Gold: deep correction, no short-term support;
• BTC: sharp plunge, previous support at 62,700 broken, opening downside space, concentrated long liquidations in futures market.
Scenario 3: Optimistic Surprise Scenario (<5% probability) Hold rates steady, fully dovish tone
1. Policy details: remove "inflation risk" wording, Wash clearly states no hikes this year, hints at earliest rate cuts starting in 2027;
2. Asset market reactions:
• USD and US Treasuries: yields fall sharply, dollar index weakens;
• US stocks and cryptocurrencies: both rebound strongly, BTC breaks above $65,000 resistance, bull market restarts;
• Gold: strong rally, hitting new phase highs.
IV. Targeted Trading Logic for Crypto Market (BTC)
1. Core pricing logic: Bitcoin is a USD liquidity-sensitive risk asset; under the Fed's high-rate cycle, the opportunity cost of holding crypto assets is very high. This rebound is only a technical correction after a big drop, with no new capital inflows;
2. Pre-risk warnings:
◦ If the "hawkish pause" baseline scenario materializes, BTC will likely return to a wide range of 62,500-64,000 with low volume, making sustained rallies difficult;
◦ If an unexpected 25bp hike occurs, short-term chain liquidations will quickly break the key 62,700 support, with a downside target of $60,000;
3. Practical approach: strictly control leverage before the decision, avoid unilateral bets; if price rallies near 64,800, consider light short positions; if it falls sharply below 62,800, consider small positions to play short-term technical rebounds.
V. Long-term Core Conclusions
1. Short term (1-3 days): market fully driven by Fed chair's press conference tone, volatility will significantly increase, strict stop-losses are essential for short-term trading;
2. Medium term (1-3 months): as long as the Fed maintains high rates, global risk assets are unlikely to enter a sustained bull market, BTC and US stocks will only have swing recovery rallies;
3. Turning point signal: only when the Fed clearly signals a rate cut timeline will market liquidity conditions substantially ease, allowing crypto, gold, and tech stocks to start sustained rallies.
#美联储即将公布利率决议 Trading Insights: The Counterfeit Contract Gainers Ranking is essentially a list of market makers shorting the market. Predicting top short positions against the trend will definitely blow up, chasing high and buying long positions is a sure trap. If you don't understand the control rhythm, don't enter. Today's Top Gainers Analysis by Market Makers 1. Main stocks for head-up short selling are $AEON and $BEAT. These are the core short-selling targets today. AEON surged 17.78% with 508 million in turnover, while BEAT surged 16.69% with 1.438 billion in turnover. They followed the classic "short inducement-short burst" strategy: first build on a small dip and hold high short positions, then when the bears had enough chips, they aggressively pushed up all low-end stop-loss short positions. The larger BEAT volume indicates that the market makers are pulling and turnover, and after the short market blows, they start allocating to the chasing bulls—a classic double kill tactic. 2. Small-cap control short squeeze: $BOT, TER, BE, IRYS, H small-cap coins with trading volumes in the tens of millions or even millions, which are purely market maker-controlled pig-slaughtering games. TER's turnover of just 5.3198 million yuan was enough to surge 14.30%, with almost no effective counterparts on the market, and the rise or fall is entirely controlled by the market makers. These coins specifically exploit retail investors' psychological belief that "a big rise will lead to a pullback" to lure them into short positions, then continuously short squeeze and push prices upward until all short positions are fully liquidated, with no fundamental logic to argue about. 3. Market Shakeout Following the Rise: Coins like KAITO, ZIL, ZAMA, which have trading volumes exceeding 100 million yuan, are follow-up rallies driven by sentiment. KAITO11 37 million yuan in turnover only increased by 8.99%Why did tech stocks benefit instead, with oil prices plunging?
A significant recent change in the market has occurred:
Crude oil prices fell rapidly.
Many investors are paying attention:
What impact does falling oil prices have on stocks?
Answer:
For tech growth stocks, this could be a positive sign.
Reason one: Inflationary pressures are declining
Energy prices are falling,
Means:
Reduced cost pressures for enterprises.
Market concerns about maintaining high interest rates in the future have eased.
Reason two: Rising expectations for rate cuts
One of the biggest valuation factors affecting tech stocks:
interest rates.
Interest rate declines:
Future cash flow value will improve.
Growth stock valuations are easy to recover.
Reason 3: Risk appetite is recovering
When the market comes from:
Concerns about inflation
Steering:
Looking forward to a rate cut
Funds usually flow back to:
Technology
Growth
AI
However, it is important to note:
Geopolitical risks still exist.
If oil prices rise rapidly again,
Market sentiment may be affected again.
As of now:
The decline in oil prices is one of the key catalysts for the AI sector's short-term rebound.Recently, a clear phenomenon has appeared in the market: chip prices are falling. However, AI-related software is on the rise. Many people believe: the AI bubble has burst. But in reality, the market may only be entering the second phase. Phase One: Selling Shovels Over the past year: GPUs
Server
Storage has become the biggest winner. Capital is pouring wildly into AI infrastructure. Nvidia has become the biggest beneficiary. Stage Two: Seeking Application Value As infrastructure matures, funding begins to emerge: Who can truly make money from AI? So the market is starting to focus: AI software, enterprise services, cloud applications—what does this mean? It's not the end of AI. Instead, the market has shifted from: "buying all AI" to "choosing AI companies that truly make money." Future AI investment logic may become even more divergent: those with moats will continue to rise. Those without profit models are gradually being phased out. The investment market is always like this: the first stage is to hype up concepts. The second stage is to look at performance. The third stage is cash flow. AI is now entering its second phase.On July 29, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $49.75 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of net outflows.
BlackRock IBIT alone lost $54.83 million. Grayscale Mini Trust saw an inflow of $5.08 million, just a drop in the bucket.
The ETF's total net asset value is $77.2 billion, with a net asset ratio of 6.02% of BTC's total market capitalization.
But Ethereum is a completely different story. On the same day, Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $14.53 million, marking the second consecutive day of positive inflows. Last week, Bitcoin ETFs only saw $33.8 million in inflows, hitting a record low; Ethereum ETFs also saw $103.9 million in income during the same period. Money is indeed moving from Bitcoin to Ethereum, but not fast, the direction is shifting, and the trend hasn't formed yet. BlackRock IBIT has been running for four consecutive days, BlackRock ETHA has been advancing for two days—the same company, two products, two directions. Once the FOMC is implemented, let's see which direction funds accelerate.
$BTC Over the past week, the AI industry chain has undergone significant adjustments. Among them: the SOX index plunged in a single day; SOXL triple-leveraged ETFs experienced significant drawdowns; Core stocks such as NVDA, AMD, MU, and SNDK experienced widespread declines. Many investors began to wonder: Has the AI market ended? My observation: This adjustment feels more like a capital rotation than a change in industry logic. 1. Where is the capital flowing out? The biggest recent change: capital is starting to reduce its pursuit of high-valuation AI hardware. Mainly includes: GPU
Semiconductor equipment
Memory chips and these sectors previously saw huge gains, so profit-taking appeared first when market risk appetite declined. 2. Where did the funds go? The market has shown clear divergence: hardware side: ↓ Chips
↓ Storage
↓ Device Software side: ↑ AI applications
↑ Cloud computing
↑ SaaS This shows that institutions are not abandoning AI, but are seeking a direction with higher certainty. 3. Has the AI industry ended? So far, no. What really needs to be observed is: whether companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Google reduce their AI capital expenditures. If cloud providers continue to invest in AI infrastructure, the demand for computing power will still exist. My Short-term view: The AI sector is still in a phase of adjustment. Mid-term: Waiting for earnings reports and Federal Reserve signals to confirm this. Long-term: The AI industry trend remains unchanged. The market always trades expectations in advance. Real opportunities often come after panic. #The probability of passing the CLARITY Act this month has dropped from 55% at the beginning of the month to 35%.
With the August recess approaching, the window is narrowing.
If passed, the CLARITY Act would establish a federal regulatory framework for the crypto industry, including market oversight, institutional participation guidelines, and consumer protection.
If it fails, there is strong support near $55,000.
But Bitcoin's situation is quite different from other tokens. BTC has been classified as a commodity by both the SEC and CFTC, and spot ETF2024 approved at the beginning of the year, making it the only crypto asset that does not require the CLARITY Act. While other tokens are still waiting for regulatory frameworks, funds naturally concentrate in BTC. The impact of the CLARITY Act blockage on Bitcoin is far less significant than on tokens like XRP and SOL, which are not yet fully formed. $BTC Yesterday I said $BEAT was going to rebound, and then I went long myself. After a period of volatility, $BEAT has rebounded. So what should we do now? Personally, I think holding long positions in a short period is riskier. So, I just closed my position. —————————————————— Let's take a quick look at its data. For this data, we need to carefully observe its subtle differences. First, there was a slight increase in open interest, but not by a large margin. Then, the contract long-short ratio has now returned to its previous crash. All of this seems like data from the previous crash, so I'm really worried now. Then, I reviewed its previous candlestick charts. The first chart shows $BEAT's crash in early July this year. Comparing the two together, doesn't it suddenly feel very similar? So, I became even more worried. So, should we go short now? Personally, I don't want to short because this coin rises and falls very quickly. If you don't control your leverage well, you might get stuck in the position. To go long, you can add margin and lower the closing price, but going short is a different story—you may face the dual pressure of margin and funding fees. —————————————————— Currently, I'm on the lookout, waiting for $BEAT to pull back and see if there's a chance to buy the dip. For these coins, my strategy is generally to go long on dips.In the afternoon, the second round is a safe bet to win a single win in reverse hand.
No need to spend long periods watching the market, waiting for signals to execute trades, and steadily earn short-term profits. #美联储即将公布利率决议 Both spot trading volume and futures volume for $RE have dropped sharply compared to the beginning of the month. Under these conditions, it's difficult to expect a meaningful recovery. I think the price is likely to continue declining toward where the rally originally started, around $0.37.The Federal Reserve is about to shake things up tonight, and I choose to just stand by and watch.
I guess many people are like me right now, staring at the Fed's lousy decision at 2 a.m., clutching their positions and unable to sleep.
It's not fear, it's just that the situation is really unclear.
The CME interest rate futures data is very split—about a 70% chance of staying unchanged, and a 30% chance of a 25 basis point hike. Thirty percent, friends, this is no joke. If the Fed really goes crazy and raises rates, it would be the most baffling policy shift in decades, bar none.
You might say it should cut rates, since the consumer confidence index is indeed dropping, at 58.6, hitting a multi-year low. Employment expectations are also weakening; ordinary Americans are starting to feel the chill. But on the other hand? The Middle East could blow up at any moment, oil prices have rebounded under geopolitical risk, and that damn inflation just won’t calm down. So the hawks are still pretty confident and loud.
This is very awkward. The market wants dovish reassurance, but reality isn’t cooperating.
What’s more troublesome is this guy, Waller. Since taking office, he’s done one thing—diminished forward guidance. In plain terms, the Fed used to like to paint a picture for the market, telling you what’s coming next, but now they don’t. You guess. This has caused the market’s framework for interpreting policy to suddenly fail. Tonight’s statement wording and every word in the press conference could be more deadly than the rate itself; the market will dissect every single word.
So I don’t dare bet on the direction now.
Looking at the US stock market, earnings season is in full swing. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, these giants are taking turns. Honestly, people no longer care about a few cents more or less in profit; the real concern is whether the capital spending on AI can keep burning. Alphabet was hit hard just for saying it would increase investment, and cracks are starting to show in the market’s faith in AI.
The worst hit is the memory chip sector. SanDisk and SK Hynix have seen their biggest drawdowns exceed 40% in just a few days. This isn’t a correction; it’s a mini stock market crash. The market suddenly asks a painful question—Is the demand for AI hardware really as rosy as previously thought? Has the valuation already priced in the next three years’ story?
Honestly, my current position is neutral. I don’t have the guts to be fully invested, and I don’t see the need to be fully out.
In the short term, any signal tonight that exceeds expectations could trigger violent volatility. If Waller leans even slightly hawkish, risk assets will probably have to kneel first.
But looking longer term, I believe the AI industry trend hasn’t changed; what’s changed is the market’s sentiment and rhythm. The most important thing now is to let the market find its own way out—don’t rush to be a hero, and don’t be scared into running away.
I will most likely stay awake tonight, but won’t make any moves. Sometimes standing by and watching is better than blindly messing around. Analysis of the Federal Reserve Meeting, Gold, and the Nasdaq Logic
---
1. Current Market Status: Narrow Range Fluctuations, Awaiting News Release
· The Federal Reserve meeting results (local time early morning on the 31st) are about to be announced, with major market funds generally in a wait-and-see mode; narrow fluctuations reflect brewing expectations.
· The core focus is not the rate hike itself, but the difference between "expectations" and "actual rate hikes"; European rate hike dynamics are also worth noting.
---
2. Two Core Supports for Gold's Previous Rise
· Geopolitical conflict risk aversion expectations: concerns over global conflict expansion have driven up safe-haven demand.
· Rate cut expectations: at the beginning of the year, the market bet on consecutive rate cuts by the Fed in the first half.
· The combination of these dual expectations accumulated substantial safe-haven and rate cut premiums for gold.
---
3. Market Turning Point: Premiums Fade, Gold Price Enters Downward Fluctuation
· Geopolitical conflicts have not escalated into full-scale war; the situation has entered a stalemate, and the market is gradually adapting to the risk.
· US inflation and employment data remain resilient, pushing back rate cut expectations.
· Both premiums have rapidly faded simultaneously, and gold prices have shifted into a downward fluctuating trend.
---
4. Three Stages of Geopolitical Conflict Impacting Gold Prices
1. Sudden Stage: Moving into the unknown, safe-haven funds flood in, causing gold prices to surge.
2. Stalemate Stage: The market adapts to risk, safe-haven buying gradually withdraws, and premiums decline.
3. Instrumental Stage: Conflicts become controllable tools in great power games; the market no longer panics, and gold's safe-haven demand is nearly zero.
Currently in the third stage—conflicts persist but safe-haven attributes have basically failed; high oil prices push up interest rates, delaying rate cut expectations, trapping gold in a "can't rise, can't fall deeply" equilibrium dilemma.
---
5. Two Paths for Gold to Break Out of Unilateral Rise
1. Geopolitical conflicts spiral out of control, safe-haven attributes sharply intensify, shaking US dollar credit and driving gold to rise independently.
2. US economic data significantly weakens, the Fed clearly shifts direction and restarts rate cuts (or releases strong rate cut expectations).
Apart from these, fragmented news is unlikely to break the current narrow fluctuation pattern; investors should focus on whether cracks appear in the above two major logics.
---
6. Logical Divergence Between the Nasdaq and Gold
· The Nasdaq (represented by AI leaders like Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple) is a long-duration asset, with valuation highly dependent on the interest rate environment—the higher the rate, the greater the discount pressure on future earnings.
· Geopolitical easing and retreat of safe-haven demand actually benefit the Nasdaq: falling oil prices ease inflation pressure, and funds flow back from defensive assets (gold, oil) to high-growth tech sectors.
· Key constraint: as long as the Fed maintains high interest rates, Nasdaq gains are only a phase of recovery, unlikely to form a sustained bull market; volatility in high-level AI computing power and storage chips will be significantly amplified.
---
7. Three Scenario Predictions for Tomorrow's Rate Decision
1. Baseline Scenario (high probability): rates unchanged, speech neutral, no signal of rate cuts within the year. Gold volatility limited, maintaining weak fluctuations, rate cut bubble continues to clear.
2. Hawkish Scenario: rates unchanged, but dot plot raises full-year rate expectations, implying possible rate hike in September. US dollar and Treasury yields rise, gold dips to lows; Nasdaq declines further, tech stocks collectively pull back, funds temporarily switch to defensive sectors like oil & gas and utilities.
3. Fully Favorable Scenario (very low probability): Fed clearly signals a rate cut window within the year. Current economic data do not support this scenario and it is unlikely to occur.
---
Conclusion: The current market is in a period of logical restructuring, with divergent trends between gold and the Nasdaq, each constrained by geopolitical and interest rate environments. Investors should reduce attention to fragmented news and focus on the evolution of the two core variables: rate cut expectations and geopolitical games. Guys, ASP dropped 8.48% today, current price $0.01068. The July 2025 TGE had a daily ATH of $0.55, a 98.5% drop over the past year. ASP is Aspecta's native token, used for on-chain pricing of illiquid assets. It was first launched on Binance Alpha, invested by YZi Labs + Spartan Group, with 650,000+ users, and solid fundamentals. However, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens, only 25.93% is currently in circulation, with 74% still locked up. The top five addresses account for 81.49%, nearly completely concentrated. Over the next year, about 21 unlocks will continue to be released, and the authorities have admitted that "it may still be insufficient" to reverse the selling pressure structure. ASP is currently at 0.01068, with resistance above in the $0.0146-$0.0183 moving average cluster (20/50/100/200 daily moving averages suppressing), support below $0.010 (psychological threshold), and $0.008-$0.009 (historical low area). The bearish alignment is obvious, and ongoing unlocking pressure remains. The project foundation is solid, but with 74% lock + continuous unlocking, supply-side pressure is not yet over. In the short term, bottom-fishing is not recommended—wait until the supply-demand balance improves. $BTC $ETH $ASP #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 volatility I'm Ci Ge, and after 48 hours of ceasefire, it's over.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched multiple ballistic missiles from its homeland, attempting to launch a surprise attack on U.S. forces stationed in the Middle East. The U.S. side claimed to have intercepted all of them. The U.S. Central Command later stated that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia had precisely struck targets within Iraq commanded by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Oil prices rebounded in response, with WTI rising over 4% to climb back above $82, and Brent rising in tandem.
What really matters is not the missiles, but how the market prices them
Expectations for a ceasefire once soared to 75%, pushing BTC back above $65,000 over the weekend. But the positive news has long been priced in; the remaining 25% chance of negotiation breakdown is the real variable. Oil prices rebounded from $82 to the $87 to $89 range, inflation expectations reignited, the probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike surged, the dollar strengthened, liquidity tightened, and BTC was hit first.
The transmission chain for BTC is very clear
First, the rebound in oil prices directly strengthens inflation expectations. The Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting is underway, and the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike has surged from 13% a week ago to 38%. For every $1 increase in oil prices, expectations for rate hikes push upward. The 10-year Treasury yield had previously surpassed 4.7%, putting pressure on risk assets across the board.
Second, the tech stock crash and geopolitical risks form a dual suppression. SK Hynix's earnings report fell short of expectations, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 6%, and the Nasdaq 100 fell 10% from its high, entering a technical correction. The wave of selling in the storage sector continues, and BTC, as a high-beta risk asset, is being dragged down by both forces simultaneously.
The third layer is diplomatic progress, but military upgrades have not stopped escalating escalation. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister revealed that Oman proposed a plan to jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran demanded full control of its own access routes, which has not yet been accepted. Whether the ceasefire can be finalized remains unknown. What the market fears most is not war, but uncertainty. As long as geopolitical risks do not signal a clear convergence, risk appetite is difficult to recover.
BTC's current technical position
BTC is oscillating near 63,900, below the 1-hour EMA55 at 64,092, which is in the bearish trend zone. The first resistance above is 64,092; only a breakout with increased volume will have a chance to challenge 64,500. The first support below is 63,600; if it falls below it, look for 63,000 to 62,500. Multi-cycle signals indicate a bearish bias in the long cycle and insufficient momentum in the small cycle rebound.
Three key variables determine the short-term direction
As for the FOMC interest rate decision, if there is an unexpected rate hike or an extreme hawkish stance, BTC will directly test between 62,500 and 63,000. If the bias is dovish, BTC could rebound above 64,500. Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon reported earnings exceeding expectations with moderate capital expenditure guidance, technology stock sentiment recovered, and BTC benefited simultaneously. Falling short of expectations, tech stocks continued to come under pressure, and BTC was dragged down. Oil price trends: ceasefire talks have been reached, oil prices have fallen below $80, giving BTC a breather. The ceasefire has broken down, oil prices have returned to $90, and BTC continues to test its lows.
The medium-term direction remains unchanged; the longer oil prices fluctuate between 80 and 90, the harder BTC's non-sovereign asset narrative becomes. Every ceasefire break serves as a reminder to the market that the foundation of the dollar's credit is being continuously eroded. Short-term fluctuations are reserved for those who are prepared.
