Micron $MU is at a pivot point where memory cycles are repricing toward AI infrastructure, with the core conflict centered on the tug-of-war between tightening liquidity expectations in U.S. stocks and the structural supply and demand shortages for high-end HBM.
In cross-market capital flows, the high volatility of the US dollar index and US Treasury yields suppresses the overall valuation flexibility of the US tech sector, while gold and crypto assets continue to divert macro risk-appetite funds from risk aversion and liquidity allocation. Storage leader $MU's pricing logic is shifting away from traditional consumer electronics cycles and driven by AI computing capital expenditure and HBM3e/DDR5 shipments.
In terms of driver rankings, AI data centers' deterministic demand for HBM and DDR5 is crowding out high-end capacity, followed by balance sheet recovery from NAND flash inventory clearance, and the impact of macro interest rate pressure on growth stocks' discount rates is relatively lagging. When US tech giants' computing capital expenditures remain high, the premium ability of storage takes precedence over the overall market systematic valuation increase.
The upside scenario must meet the need to recognize capital expenditure increments in US tech stocks, and falling US Treasury yields will release valuation pressure on tech stocks. If Micron's market share and shipment structure in the high-end HBM market exceed expectations, capital will accelerate concentrating from risk assets like BTC to core US AI infrastructure targets, driving $MU to complete its valuation restructuring from cyclical stocks to AI computing infrastructure. The trigger condition is continuous increase in enterprise-level storage orders, with the expiration signal being macro liquidity tightening causing tech giants to significantly cut AI capital expenditures.
The downward trend stems from the Federal Reserve's high interest rates leading to a strong US dollar, while the high-valuation AI sector in the US market has experienced systematic profit-taking, with funds shifting to gold as a safe haven or temporary rotation of crypto assets. If major storage manufacturers expand capacity too quickly, disrupting supply-demand balance, or if downstream AI inference demand converts below expectations, the storage industry's profitability will come under pressure again. The trigger signal is a slowdown in average storage price growth or inventory buildup among downstream customers; a failure signal is another coordinated production cut on the supply side.
In the next seven days, key attention should be paid to changes in U.S. Treasury yields, fluctuations in the US dollar index, and the impact of U.S. tech capital flows, as well as $MU's shipment structure and earnings in the high-end storage sector.
#CLARITY法案推进受阻, Senate Divisions Widen #财报观察员: Mixed Results, Lifting the Ban Imminent! What is SpaceX's outlook on the future?ADP employment hits a six-month low, and the probability of a rate hike in September still exceeds 50%? Nonfarm payrolls + CPI are key to setting the tone
US July ADP private employment increased by 44,000, well below the expected 75,000 and the lowest in six months. The job market has cooled significantly, but it has not reversed the divergence in the Fed's policy path.
Where are the market disagreements? One side believes that the slowdown in employment weakens the reasons for further rate hikes, easing the pressure of policy tightening. Another side warns: inflation risks remain high, and CME data shows the probability of a 25bp rate hike in September is still above 50%.
The key variable in the crypto market is no longer just employment data, but "whether cooling employment can overcome inflationary pressures." This Friday's nonfarm payrolls and next week's CPI will jointly determine the September interest rate pricing.
ADP is just the appetizer; non-farm payrolls are the main course. If employment remains weak but inflation remains stubborn, the Fed will still be unwilling to relax.
#ADP就业降温, the Fed's policy divergence has intensified #Circle财报后押注Arc, can USDC experience new growth?
In Circle's financial report, the numbers themselves are not the main focus.
Total revenue was 701 million, up 7% year-on-year, slightly below expectations. USDC's average circulating supply increased 25% year-on-year, but only 73.3 billion at quarter-end, down 4.8% from Q1. This shows that interest income is still supporting profits, but the stablecoins actually circulating in the ecosystem are shrinking. Revenue growth depends on the interest rate hike environment, not scale expansion—these are two different answers.
What truly deserves attention is the thing outside the financial report—Arc.
This institutional-level blockchain platform has entered the private mainnet phase and will launch on the public mainnet on September 16. Core players in global financial infrastructure—BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard—are all on the founding validator list. Arc essentially packages stablecoin settlement, tokenized assets, and institutional financial infrastructure into a single service, allowing Wall Street to clear, settle, and deliver assets directly on-chain.
If Arc succeeds, USDC will no longer be just a stablecoin for retail investors buying and selling on exchanges, but the base currency for inter-institutional settlement and tokenized asset transfers. This is the true growth engine—the scale is on a different level.
My view is simple: short-term circulation decline is realistic, but the track Arc opens up is much higher than the retail market ceiling. Circle is now betting not on USDC's quarterly circulation, but on Wall Street's underlying clearing system. This is what is worth watching in the long term.
$BTC $ETH $BICO In the previous trading day, the S&P corresponding to $SPY only dipped slightly, the Nasdaq weakened, and the Dow continued to close at a new high. Even more interestingly, Brent crude oil hovered around $79, US Treasury yields edged down, and the VIX fell back to 15.81, indicating that market panic hadn't risen. The real change was that tech stocks themselves started picking stocks.
Today, I will treat $SPY as a thermometer of overall risk appetite, and $QQQ as a thermometer of AI and big tech crowding. As long as the $SPY is stable and the $QQQ weak, it means funds are not leaving US stocks but rebalancing from high-valuation technology sectors.
Personal observation: This is not a bear market signal; it seems more like the market at a high point is starting to reallocate chips.

Short-term support is at 63,800, with first resistance at 64,800 and strong resistance at 67,000–68,000. After geopolitical risk aversion cooled, the market rebounded with bearish covering rebounding relying on support, and Bitcoin's market share of 56.5% continued to rise
3. ETH (Ethereum): Current price $1897, 24H +1.25%, showing stronger performance than BTC
Support at 1850, resistance at 1920, on-chain lending and DeFi sector movements have driven independent buying, ending the long-term weak linkage market
4. Differentiation among mainstream knockoffs
Strengthening: SOL, TRX, BNB; Weakening: XRP, ADA, DOGE, LINK overall weak; The DeFi sector saw a day-high drop of 38.7%, stablecoin fund flows shrank by 5%, with funds concentrated in BTC and ETH
5. Market sentiment: The Fear and Greed Index has slightly rebounded, moving out of the extreme panic range, leaning toward cautious observation
2. Full-Network Contract Liquidation Data (24 hours)
Total contract liquidation across the network was $235 million, mainly with short stamping stop-losses
• Short positions were liquidated at $142 million, and long positions were liquidated at $93 million. This rebound was driven by concentrated short-term short liquidations
• BTC contract liquidations amounted to about 41 million USD, ETH contracts 38 million USD, with no large single liquidations, indicating concentrated stop-loss conditions for small and medium contracts
• Liquidations on leading exchanges account for more than half, intensifying competition among short-term contract funds
3. Major macro news
1. US-UK Joint Crypto Regulation Coordinated Implementation (Core Policy)
The US and UK Treasury departments issued a joint statement, unifying the regulatory framework for stablecoins and regulatory standards for tokenized finance, implementing alignment with the US GENIUS Stablecoin Act, which will provide medium- to long-term benefits for compliant institutional funding; In the short term, the implementation of weak regulatory heads will ease market policy anxiety.
2. Favorable geopolitical conditions provide support
The U.S. has temporarily suspended military strikes on Iran, easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and safe-haven funds fleeing from gold. Some funds have flowed into the crypto market to engage in short-term risk asset trading, which is the core driver for BTC's stabilization and rebound.
3. Fed rate cut expectations remain unchanged
CME rate futures price pricing at an 87.5% probability of a rate cut in September. Dovish officials' remarks continued, US Treasury yields edged down, the Nasdaq rose, and the overall risk asset environment was warm.
4. The vote on the U.S. CLARITY crypto bill has been postponed again
Lawmakers opposed the bill citing operational risks in banks, lowering the probability of its implementation to 31%. The delay in compliance legislation weakened institutions' long-term positioning expectations in the short term but avoided the negative side of strong regulatory pressure in the short term.
4. Industry Hot Topics
1. Uniswap launches on-chain lending product "Earn"
Leading DEXs have officially crossed over into lending business, with increased on-chain Ethereum activity, directly boosting ETH's short-term strength and boosting Layer 2 ecosystem activity.
2. India updates crypto tax rules
By integrating with the OECD global crypto asset tax reporting framework, domestic exchanges are required to declare users' crypto trading profits, raising compliance costs for retail investors in Southeast Asia and increasing selling pressure on Tautou coins.
3. Rumors of a Hong Kong stablecoin license clarified
Market rumors have claimed that a second batch of stablecoin licenses will be issued for National Day, but the Hong Kong Monetary Authority officially denied these rumors, stating that it is only focusing on operational testing with the two existing licensed institutions, and currently has no plans to add new licenses.
4. Robinhood UK FCA crypto qualification operates stably, with retail trading channels in Europe and the US continuously expanding.
5. Key Summary & Key Points for Market Observation
1. Market logic: Geopolitical easing + short covering + interest rate cut expectations triple support for a rebound, but overall trading volume has not increased, indicating a game among existing funds and not suitable for chasing rallies at high levels;
2. ETH is experiencing a phase of structural strength, with short-term cost-effectiveness better than Bitcoin. Counterfeit rotation is extremely fast, and the DeFi sector is avoiding pullbacks;
3. Key Time Window: This week's U.S. CPI inflation data directly changes expectations for Fed rate cuts and determines whether this rebound can continue; Although the expansion of AI infrastructure is reshaping the memory semiconductor industry, market attention has already shifted beyond simple performance improvement to structural pricing power. On the surface, the logic behind the rise in $SNDK, $MU, and $SKHYNIX converges on 'expanding AI demand,' but the core price reflection lies in each company's dominance in the HBM and enterprise SSD markets. Does the current premium really match the pace of fundamental improvement? - The HBF Open Spec unveiled at the Flash Memory Summit is not just a simple technical collaboration, but an attempt to standardize industry standards to resolve storage bottlenecks in AI data centers. This creates the conditions for the establishment of the customized memory market, differentiating it from the competition of general-purpose products in the existing NAND market. - SK hynix is strengthening its price negotiation power by emphasizing its advantage in the HBM market, while Micron is expanding its share of DRAM for AI servers. SanDisk presents the rising demand for enterprise SSDs as a new growth engine. - AI Datasen for HyperscalersThe most striking data for Circle in Q2 is not revenue, but the intensity of USDC usage.
As of the end of the quarter, USDC circulation reached $73.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19%; on-chain transaction volume for the quarter hit $14.8 trillion, up 151% year-on-year. The number of active wallets holding more than $10 USDC rose to 7 million, a 24% increase year-on-year.
The growth rate of transaction volume far exceeds that of supply, indicating a significant increase in the turnover frequency of the same batch of USDC on-chain. However, the supply side has not yet entered sustained expansion: in Q2, $83 billion USDC was minted, $87 billion redeemed, resulting in a net outflow of about $4 billion; the average quarterly circulation was $76.5 billion, dropping to $73.3 billion at quarter-end. By August 3, circulation fell back to about $72 billion, a 1.8% decrease from quarter-end.
The revenue structure remains highly dependent on interest rates.
Circle's total revenue and reserve income in Q2 was $701 million, a 7% year-on-year increase. Of this, reserve income was $668 million, accounting for about 95.2% of total revenue; other income was only $33.6 million, less than 5%.
USDC's average quarterly scale grew 25%, but reserve income only increased 5%, mainly because the reserve yield dropped 66 basis points year-on-year to 3.5%. With falling interest rates, issuance must grow faster to offset the decline in interest income generated per USDC.
Channel costs are also high. In Q2, distribution, transaction, and other costs reached $412 million, equivalent to 58.8% of total revenue. After deducting these costs, Circle retained $289 million, with a profit margin of about 41%, up 3.02 percentage points from last year.
This also explains why Circle has pushed Arc to a more important position after the earnings report.
Arc is scheduled to open its mainnet on September 16, with over 100 institutions and ecosystem projects already participating in its construction. The first batch of external validators includes 11 institutions such as BlackRock, DTCC, Mastercard, Visa, ICE, Standard Chartered Bank, and MoneyGram, with USDC directly used as the network's Gas asset.
BlackRock plans to deploy BUIDL on Arc, while DTCC is preparing to connect asset tokenization custody in the second half of 2027. Circle Payments Network's annualized transaction volume has also reached $14.7 billion, a 76% quarter-on-quarter increase, with the number of financial institutions joining the network rising to 175.
The company has raised its 2026 other income guidance from $150 million–$170 million to $310 million–$330 million, nearly doubling. However, the official statement clearly notes that this includes confirmed ARC token presale income, which cannot be fully regarded as stable, repeatable business growth.
The Arc partnership list is already large enough; what comes next is actual capital: USDC circulation on Arc, daily average transaction volume, number of paid applications, and whether non-reserve income can continue to increase its share.
For USDC to achieve the next round of growth, it cannot rely solely on U.S. Treasury interest. Arc needs to prove it can transform the stablecoin from Circle's liability scale into a network asset that truly generates fees and service income.
#Circle财报后押注Arc，USDC能否迎来新增长？ #闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
Many people saw SanDisk's earnings report exceeding expectations and their first reaction was: "Why is it still falling?" "
On the contrary, I feel this isn't positive news being realized, but rather that market expectations for AI have been raised too high.
No matter how much you earn this season, it only proves the past; What truly affects the stock price is whether it can continue to grow rapidly in the future. As long as next quarter's revenue guidance falls short of expectations, the market will reprice.
So, what makes me focus more on this financial report is not the daily rise and fall of the stock price, but whether the demand for AI storage is truly a long-term trend.
My answer is: I am still optimistic.
The reason is simple: AI models are getting larger, inference is increasing, and data center expansion hasn't stopped. As long as AI computing power continues to expand, the demand for high-performance storage will not disappear.
However, what truly deserves attention in the future is not whether memory chip prices will rise, but who can truly turn demand into profit.
Growing industry demand does not mean all companies can make money. Only companies with strong product competitiveness, high bargaining power, and continuously improving profitability can truly enjoy the benefits of AI.
Therefore, this financial report does not change my long-term judgment on the AI storage sector.
In the short term, the market may fluctuate repeatedly due to overly high expectations, but if the AI industry continues to develop, I prefer to view this adjustment as an emotional release rather than a trend end.
For me, AI storage remains a long-term track worth tracking, but the focus of investment has shifted from "whether there is demand" to "who can keep making money." @币圈超短王马大帅 2026.08.06 Full version of Midday Crypto News #SanDisk's earnings report both beat expectations, with $14 billion added for buyback authorization

#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck Circle’s next growth bet is no longer just more USDC. It is building the financial infrastructure around it.
Q2 revenue and reserve income reached $701M, up 7% YoY, while adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to $143M.
Average USDC circulation grew 25% YoY, but quarter-end circulation fell 4.8% QoQ to $73.3B. Onchain volume reached $14.8T, up 151% YoY but below Q1’s $21.5T, showing sequentially softer supply and activity.
Arc has entered private mainnet ahead of a Sep 16 public launch. More than 100 ecosystem and institutional builders are participating, alongside 11 third-party founding validators including BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard and Standard Chartered.
Arc is designed around:
· USDC-denominated gas fees
· Sub-second settlement and stablecoin FX
· Payments, tokenized assets and institutional infrastructure
· Integration with Circle’s platform, including StableFX
Circle still depends heavily on income from USDC reserves, leaving performance sensitive to circulation and interest rates. By building infrastructure around USDC, Arc could help diversify Circle beyond reserve income if institutions use it for payments, FX and tokenized-asset settlement.
The institutional groundwork is expanding. Circle National Trust has final OCC approval, BNY has added USDC to its Digital Asset Custody platform, and Standard Chartered offers institutional access to USDC minting and redemption.
But recognizable validators do not guarantee adoption. After Sep 16, the key signals will be assets issued, settlement volume, active institutions and fee-generating activity on Arc.
What would signal real Arc adoption: renewed USDC supply growth or institutional settlement volume?
#CircleArcLaunch #EarningsRealityCheck #闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion in new buyback authorizations. Micron's earnings exceeded expectations, but the market began to hesitate
Micron's financial report actually sends a very strong signal.
FY2026 Q4 revenue reached $8.97 billion, exceeding market expectations; adjusted EPS also significantly exceeded forecasts, and the company announced an additional $14 billion in stock repurchase authorization, indicating that demand for AI storage remains strong.
Interestingly, after the earnings report was released, the market did not simply respond with a "positive rise" but instead experienced a pullback.
The reason is that the market's focus is no longer on whether AI demand is present, but on whether AI demand can continue to exceed expectations.
Over the past year, HBM, high-end memory, and AI servers have driven rapid growth in the storage industry chain, with Micron, as a core supplier, directly benefiting. But once everyone agrees with the AI trend, the focus of capital transactions shifts from "future space" to "future fulfillment."
In short:
Previously, the market asked: Is there demand for AI?
Now the market asks: How much longer can AI growth continue?
This is also the stage many AI concept stocks are currently going through.
Good performance does not necessarily mean the stock price will rise, because the price reflects future expectations. If growth in the coming quarters falls short of market expectations, even with excellent financial reports, valuation adjustments may occur.
However, from an industry perspective, Micron's data still proves one thing: AI infrastructure construction continues, and storage remains a key link in this wave.
Next, the market's real focus is whether the AI investment cycle can continue to deepen. @OKX planet Behind the excitement lies a thorn: the dream of flash memory price hikes was shattered by a single sentence. 🫧 Have you noticed that every time a financial report comes out, the biggest fear isn't the ugly data, but the management suddenly putting away their smiles? On the surface, SanDisk's report card looks pretty good, with both revenue and profit passing the mark. But what really changed the market's mood were those few remarks about the future price rhythm of NAND—too cautious, so cautious that it was completely on the same wavelength as the previous market expectation of "AI storage going wild." After the market closed, it plunged directly, hitting a low of 1244, with a drop of over 12% at one point, and now it is barely holding on to 1304. Behind this lies an easily overlooked pricing logic: the market was not buying current performance but the slope of future price increases. Everyone is betting that flash memory prices will soar beyond expectations, igniting AI storage demand like a rocket. But the management stepped forward and said, 'Don't rush, take it slow.' This statement shattered expectations, and funds ran faster than anyone else. - The event transmission path is clear: the earnings report itself -> management guidance -> spot price expectations correction -> stock price repricing -> which affects risk appetite across the entire storage sector. - What's even more noteworthy is that this kind of "performance meets targets but provides conservative guidance" scenarios are often not isolated incidents. If other storage chain companies show similar sentiments next, the valuation anchor for the entire sector will have to move downward. On the positive side, the medium- and long-term demand logic for AI storage has not been overturned; only the pace has changedThe fundamentals were fully realized, and the coin price broke the bear market's lowest point
This is not a hypothesis; I bought it with real money.
In 2023, I spent a lot of time researching DeFi leaders. Protocol revenue is high, growth is rapid, and market value is falling cheaply.
Scoring each item within the framework of value investing: good business, good prices, wide moat—almost perfect marks.
After buying, I have high hopes for them. When prices rise, they think they have foresight; when they fall, they think the market is wrong. No matter how others laugh, I don't care. That's value investing—hold for the long term.
Years later, the fundamentals delivered on all their promises. Protocol revenue hit a new high, with the moat far ahead of the second place.
But the coins we hold don't make money. The price even fell below the lowest point of the 2022 bear market.
The fundamentals are all correct, but the prices are all wrong.
Some say: don't touch altcoins, only buy Bitcoin. This helps you avoid losses and misses out on every round of excess returns.
Some say: Tokens are just governance rights and have nothing to do with protocol revenue. This explains why it was wrong, but doesn't tell you what to do.
The continuous blows made me deeply reflect and determined to find the root cause
Later I realized that the main bull wave in crypto bull markets is determined by narrative, not by fundamental realization.
But the altcoins I used only looked at fundamentals and didn't consider narrative.
Every bull market has a main story, and none of these stories ultimately deliver on promise, but that doesn't stop them from driving the entire market cycle.
LTC is the cleanest specimen, having surged dozens of times in 2017 thanks to Bitcoin's "silver" narrative. An asset with almost zero value capture and zero real use still skyrocketed.
At that stage, no one cared about accounting issues like value capture, and it really didn't affect the price increase.
Because value capture determines the floor, not the ceiling.
It doesn't care how much is left after you crash, no matter how high you can rise. Otherwise, these DeFi leaders wouldn't have missed new highs.
Narrative is the router of capital. It doesn't create value; it points money off-market to a direction of inflow. When money flows in, prices rise. As for whether the story will be fulfilled ten years later, the bull market won't wait for that day, nor will it need to.
Therefore, altcoins should be secured during bull markets, not held long-term.
Fundamentals are not the engine of a bull market; narrative isFundamental Research Report $EGLD / MultiversX (Public Chain/L1) $3.20

Looking at it together with peers (unified caliber, no cross-sector random comparison): In terms of circulating market cap, MultiversX $3.00B, ETH undisclosed, SOL not disclosed. FDV: MultiversX $4.20B, ETH undisclosed, SOL not disclosed. In terms of annualized revenue, MultiversX is $2.00M, ETH is not disclosed, SOL is not disclosed. For monthly active addresses or users, MultiversX is not disclosed, ETH is not disclosed, SOL is not disclosed. Figures are based on public data snapshots; some omissions are supplemented by official self-reports or industry standards. Valuation: circulating market cap $3.00B, FDV $4.20B, P/S 1500.0x, FDV divided by revenue 2100.0x. Pessimistic: $3.00B is 50-70% off, fluctuating in a neutral range; optimistic outlook: revenue doubles, burns are implemented, enterprise clients are inflowing, FDV corresponds to P/S, aligned with the top companies. To sum up: Solid fundamentals (score 57/100). Token value capture has been implemented (buyback/burn/gas). Circulating market cap is relatively high relative to fundamentals, overdrawing expectations, and FDV is moderate. Three major risks: short-term large-scale unlocking and sell-off, long-term protocol revenue wiping out, token demand relying solely on incentives (once incentives are cut off, usage collapses). Key points to look at next: protocol fee cycles, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balances, GitHub version releases. The above is the logic and judgment based on public information and does not constitute buy or sell advice. Core financial indicators deviate by more than 30%, conclusions need to be re-evaluated.
Once the fundamentals are dismantled, how the market moves is another matter.
#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbitSanDisk delivered a truly "explosive" financial report—revenue surged 372% year-on-year and 51% quarter-on-quarter, driven by strong demand for data centers and rising pricing. However, this report card failed to hold the post-market stock price. Why did the stock price fall despite explosive earnings? There are two core reasons: Options Competition and Earnings Competition Battle: Data for options expiring in the week of August 7 shows that the $1,370 strike price holds the highest open interest among both call and put options. After the earnings release, intense options competition became one of the factors putting short-term pressure on the stock price. Next quarter guidance falls short of expectations: SanDisk expects revenue of $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion next quarter, below market expectations. For AI storage leaders that often grow by over 100%, the market wants not just "good," but "better than expected." The logic behind AI storage still holds true. From a fundamental perspective, SanDisk's strategic direction is sound—shifting to a high-value customer mix (data center business grew 437%) and price increases continue to support performance. The market is still watching how long the storage price upward cycle will last, and whether SanDisk can maintain its pricing power amid the surge in AI data center demand and gradual supply release. $BTC $ETH $AI #闪迪财报前夕, HBF and storage shortages spark heated discussion. #临时通航协议待落地, oil price risks have yet to reverse. #财报观察员: Mixed results, restrictions imminent! What do you think about SpaceX's future? Don't just focus on the bullish trend; $APT these data are even more crucial. To be honest, $APT rose 2.7%, and the comment section is even worse than mine—a bit of psychological balance. I added $APT, entered at 0.6032, 5 times, unrealized loss of 38.75U. What do I think about the outlook? The upper Bollinger Band is at 0.6005, the lower band at 0.5851, and the price is trading within this. DIF is at the 0.00 level; momentum matters cannot be rushed. The moving average is at 0.5961, and the price follows it. The short-term survival depends on this. Personally, I have always felt that the signals from the technical side are that every time someone says "this is the last time," they will come back again next time. Most people get it wrong not to chase the third bullish candle; this rule has saved me many times. Position management sounds simple, but it's all about human nature. When you're unsure, just keep a small position and try your luck; even if you make a mistake, it won't hurt your bones. The weekend rally is inflated; if the volume can't keep up, it's just playing tricks. I always check my orders before bed; I can't sleep on orders without stop-loss orders. Breaking through key levels requires a pullback confirmation; a breakout without pullback is very likely to be a false breakout. Compounding is possible, but losing 50% requires 100% to break even. The herd effect makes people follow the big influencer in calling out trades, but they won't notify you when they close their positions. I fixed the stop-loss line at 8% below the cost. Once it hits, I exit—no negotiations. When the big pie was on the horizon, the knockoffs would start playing their own shows. Always place a stop loss when placing orders; I won't keep a single one of the streaked orders. Before and after exchange maintenance, the market is prone to unexpected issues.

After SanDisk's earnings report was released last night, the stock price fell steadily after hours.
Many people's first reaction was that the earnings missed expectations, but the truth is quite the opposite. FY2026 Q4 revenue was $8.97 billion, adjusted EPS was $39.25, both exceeding market expectations, and the company also added a $14 billion stock repurchase authorization. This report card is not bad.
The real issue lies in the next quarter's revenue guidance.
Although it is only slightly below market expectations, it is enough to make investors choose to take profits.
The market is becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy.
In the past, such an earnings report exceeding expectations would likely have driven the stock price higher. But now, the market is no longer trading on "how much was earned this quarter," but rather "whether more can be earned in the future."
The pricing logic of the AI sector is changing.
When growth for the next few years is already priced into the stock, beating earnings expectations is just the baseline. Only by continuously raising future expectations can higher valuations be supported. Once guidance fails to bring new surprises, even if fundamentals remain strong, investors will not hesitate to take profits.
Actually, this kind of trend is not unfamiliar.
Before good news is announced, investors rush to buy in advance, pricing all expectations into the stock; when the good news is finally announced, it becomes the moment to take profits.
Unfortunately, I am the one who went long at a high level and am still holding a position at a loss.
However, I have not changed my view because of this single down day.
The AI industry is still developing rapidly, computing power continues to expand, data volume keeps growing, and high-performance storage chips remain an important infrastructure in the entire AI industry chain. Short-term stock prices will be affected by sentiment and expectations, but long-term demand has not fundamentally changed.
Therefore, I prefer to see this decline as an adjustment after expectations were realized, rather than the end of the AI logic.
Over the next decade, I remain firmly optimistic about the AI industry and continue to be bullish on the storage chip sector for the long term. Oil prices plunged 12% in two days, and the Dow broke through 54,000 points—Bitcoin's "dual identity" has finally been understood by the market
Yesterday, did you see the news of the oil price crash?
Brent crude oil plunged nearly 12% over two days, breaking below the $80 mark, and on Wednesday in early Asian trading, it briefly touched $78.43 per barrel.
At the same time, the Dow surged over 1,000 points intraday, breaking through 54,000 for the first time, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs simultaneously.
What about Bitcoin? It rebounded from the low of $62,200, reaching a high above $65,000, firmly holding around $64,000.
Oil prices fall, stocks rise, Bitcoin follows suit—how long has it been since you saw this logic?
What happened?
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery carrying one-fifth of the world's oil transport, has been blockaded for over five months since the US-Israel surprise attack on Iran in February 2026.
Now, the turning point has arrived.
On August 4, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent publicly stated: "We are negotiating with Iran, and it is very likely that an agreement will be reached today or tomorrow to open the strait." ”
The specific outline of the agreement is already clear: 60 days of temporary arrangements, 30 days of mine clearance, and no tolls during this period. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ghalibabadi confirmed that the Iran-Iraq agreement is "close to finalization," and the strait will establish a "new mode of passage different from the past 60 years."
Trump himself said, "The result will be known within 48 hours." ”
The biggest landmine in global geopolitics is being defused.
The market's reaction says it all.
The transmission chain is as clear as could be:
Strait navigation expectations → oil prices plunge → easing inflation concerns → easing rate hike expectations → risk assets collectively celebrate
The Dow Jones rose nearly 1,000 points in two days, and the S&P 500 closed above 7,700 for the first time.
Gold has risen. Bitcoin also rose.
Here's a point many people haven't figured out—
For the past six months, Bitcoin has been traded as a "safe-haven asset." With war in the Middle East, Bitcoin is rising; High inflation is driving Bitcoin up.
But this time, the logic is completely reversed:
Geopolitical easing + falling oil prices + cooling inflation = risk appetite returning = Bitcoin rising alongside US stocks
Bitcoin rebounded from 62,200 to 65,000, an increase of nearly 2,800 points. It's not a safe haven; it's just following the rise.
This is Bitcoin's most alluring trait—
It is both a "digital gold" and a "risk asset."
When geopolitical conflicts escalate, it is gold—funds flowing into safe-haven markets.
When geopolitical tensions ease and risk appetite is rising, it is a tech stock—capital pouring in to chase gains.
Others have only one identity, but it has two. When others fall, it may rise; when others rise, it may rise too.
This is the power of dual storytelling.
But don't get too happy too soon.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ghalibabadi denied direct negotiations with the U.S., saying the agreement "has nothing to do with immediate opening of the strait," and that opening the strait depends on "whether the U.S. can correct its violations."
There were still internal divisions within the Revolutionary Guard, and the risk of attacks on cargo ships remained.
The formal agreement has not yet been signed.
If negotiations break down, there is room for oil prices to rebound, and risk assets may give back all their gains.
Finally, three honest words—
First: The biggest geopolitical shadow weighing on global risk assets over the past six months is now dissipating. Bitcoin shifted from a "safe-haven narrative" back to a "risk asset narrative," which actually opened up greater upside potential.
Second: $64,000 is an important support level. If it can hold and break through 65,000, the upper range could see 65,800-66,200. But if geopolitical tensions change, 62,000 will be the next critical line of defense.
Third: This round of rebound is essentially a technical recovery driven by geopolitical easing, not a full reboot of the bull market. Don't shout "bull return" just because it rose in two days, and don't cut losses because of one piece of bad news.
Information-driven markets aren't about who can see things accurately, but who runs fast. $BTC $BZ $CL #伊朗阿曼临时通航协议近落地 在最顶级的棋局里，落子前的第二十步就已经规划好将军路线。而今天，边线传来一个微妙的侧翼出子——万事达加密凭证正与 Borderless 试点跨境稳定币共享身份验证机制——这让我重新打开了中局的算度。
这一步棋，不是来争抢“运输货币”的小兵，而是把一枚“王翼贴身侍卫”放上了棋盘。万事达加密凭证提供治理与验证层，却不直接处理或结算资金。这正如一场比赛中，裁判不会替你走棋，但会认定每一步是否合法。跨境稳定币支付由此被装上了公开的行棋谱：对手每走一步，身份与风险信号都要通过标准化审批流程对齐谱库。这不再是“快零”的速攻，而是将整盘棋的合法性前置到开局的王前兵。
在特级大师的残局库里，信息比子力稀缺。多数人只看见支付速度与费用，我却看见这步棋把客户身份识别与反洗钱的“私人笔记”升级成了全盘的“对局协议”。以后每一笔跨境稳定币支付，都像一次正式比赛中的“短易位”申请：王与车必须被裁判确认从未移动，资格核验通过后才能履行“将军”的潜力。参与机构把身份与风险数据纳入审批流程，本质上是把“冒名顶替”的布局陷阱从棋盘中彻底删除。
再看 $XUSAR 的市场联动。普通棋手会盯着这条新闻的日内线形，像初学者只盯着眼皮底下的中心兵。而我看到的是，当身份验证成为跨境支付的强制开局库，真正的战略点在于那个既能接入合规层又能触碰资金流的连接位置。$XUSAR 如果立在“验证层”与“结算层”之间的象位上，它的每一步斜线都会同时控制更多格子。月级影响周期意味着这不是一次闪击，而是棋谱结构的替换。传统金融机构把手伸进稳定币棋盘，并不是为了吃两个兵，而是要改变“行棋资格”的定义方式。
这让我想起古典棋局里的封锁策略：先控制底线所有关键格，再逼迫对手走出一个不义的边兵。现在万事达就是那个控制底线的裁判棋，它不需要亲自持有资金，它只要握着“合规信号”这把王翼钥匙，就足以决定哪些棋手有资格进入中局。那些倚赖信息差和匿名路径赚取价差的棋手，将像过时的早期弃兵一样被现代理论放弃。
真正的大师此刻不会忙着移动王后。因为这一手棋最深的意图藏在它的时间戳里：当验证成为支付前的第一步，所有后续棋谱都会留下可回溯的足迹。残局阶段的“升变”权利，将不再只取决于棋盘上的剩余子力，而取决于你是否通过了那份标准化的身份凭证。
钟声滴答。传统金融的深远易位已经启动，棋盘上所有暗流都在重新排列。那些看不见的边缘格，正在被慢慢染上颜色——这不是中局前的试探，而是残局提前到来的信号。
#影响周期·月级 #传统金融·稳定币支付 #Mastercard·Borderless·身份验证营收暴增372%、140亿回购——闪迪把能给的都给了，股价还是崩了8%。昨晚闪迪发布Q4财报——营收89.7亿美元，同比增长372%。调整后EPS 39.25美元，一年前是0.29美元，涨了135倍。毛利率84.6%，一年前26.2%，翻了三倍。
董事会大手一挥：追加140亿美元回购，剩余回购授权总额达到155亿美元。
“这财报也太炸了吧？买它！”
一觉醒来，闪迪盘后跌了8%。
整个人又懵了。
“不是，这么好的业绩，凭什么？”
凭什么？凭你还在用老眼光看这个市场。
8月5日美股盘后，闪迪和西部数据同时发财报。
闪迪的数据中心业务——营收29.8亿美元，同比增长1298%。你没看错，是1298% ，不是12.98%。
边缘计算54.3亿，同比增长392%。全年营收202.5亿，同比增长175%。8份NBM长期协议，保底收入939亿美元，客户违约保障165亿美元。2027财年一半以上产能被提前锁定，2028财年三分之二已被安排。
CEO在电话会上说：“AI存储需求增速已经超过我们的供应能力，最大客户签约后还在追加订单。”
产能都卖光了，客户还在追着加单。
放在任何一个正常市场，这股价不得飞天？
但市场不这么想。
闪迪预计下季营收103亿到108亿美元，中值105.5亿，比分析师预期的111.6亿低了近5.5%。
EPS指引44到46美元，市场预期45.58美元——刚好卡在预期下沿。
毛利率指引83%到85%，跟本季的84.6%比——基本持平，有见顶迹象。市场只认一个逻辑：你过去很好，但未来能不能更好？
而闪迪的回答是：能，但没你想的那么好。
股价涨了468%之后，财报超预期已经不够用了。
今年以来，闪迪股价涨了近5倍，标普500才涨了13%。
468%的涨幅，已经把“AI存储需求爆发”这个故事透支了。
现在市场要的不是“你赚了多少钱”——市场要的是“你还能赚多少钱” 。
指引差一点点，股价就崩给你看。
西部数据同一天发财报——营收37.5亿超预期，EPS 3.56超预期，指引也超预期。
结果呢？盘后跌了11%。
两家一起崩。
这说明什么？说明不是闪迪一家的问题——是整个存储板块，市场都在重新定价。
高盛、摩根大通一堆机构给了“强烈买入”，平均目标价2400美元。但股价从6月高点已经跌了40%。
预期打得太满，满到连超预期的财报都填不上了。
市场不是在交易你做了什么。
是在交易你还能做什么。
闪迪把能给的都给了：炸裂的业绩、140亿回购、8份长协锁定未来四年、939亿保底收入。
但市场只盯着那一句话：下季度指引差了一点点。
于是8%没了。
这不是闪迪的错，这是所有被AI故事推到天上去的股票，迟早要面对的一刀。到底是市场太苛刻，还是估值确实太贵了？$META is one of the most "squid game" companies I've seen in Silicon Valley. I'm curious if you really have friends who truly believe in it from the bottom of their hearts.
No matter where you eat, as long as it's a Chinese restaurant, you can always hear a Meta employee cursing at the next table, including but not limited to: Hunan Impression, Xiaoxiang Beef Bone Rice Noodles, Tang Bar, Yang Guofu
A few days ago, I chatted with a friend at Meta, and their entire group was transferred to the data annotation team. The daily task is to chat with AI, constructing challenging enough tasks for the AI to solve, and the company then processes their solutions to train the model. The company uses employees chatting with AI to assess the number of tasks and their specific difficulty each day
Meta now is worlds apart from the Meta I had four years ago, and the turning point should come in 2023.
Will Meta succeed? I don't know, but the company's culture and management's lack of clarity in the North Star indicator clearly aren't on my investment radarPersonally, I am very optimistic about $sive's performance in the second half of the year, especially after other companies' earnings exceed expectations
Personally, I believe the year-end stock price range is between $10-15, and if it's $15 per share, the market cap will reach $5 billion, about 30% higher than before this year (SEK 110/~$3.9B). This is the "top break and breakout of previous highs," and my reasoning is simple and divided into six points:
First: In fact, this company has already proven it can reach ~3.9 billion USD this year, relying on fewer collaborations and less news (mostly our guesses). So the SEK 110's previous high this year mainly came from a GF cooperation in June. From now until the end of the year, the catalysts are stacked (8/27 earnings report + US listing + Q3 full optical chain earnings report + possible new design introduction). Using "more catalysts" to surpass "the high set by fewer catalysts" is the most basic foundation of this logic. At the same time, the subsequent benefits and more customers from $GFS cooperation will give us greater opportunities.
Second: Dual listing on Nasdaq in the US = a shift in valuation structure. This is the real engine that can push $12 to $15+. SIVE is now being overshadowed by the "Stockholm small-cap" valuation framework; Once it goes public in the US, it is thrown into the US AI optical module/connector basket, alongside CRDO, LITE, COHR, AAOI, POET, and other "AI light" targets, and the valuation multiplier for "pure AI narrative players" in this basket is much higher than in Sweden. Listing is not simply about listing elsewhere; it is about connecting it into a "capital pool willing to pay high multiples for AI optics." Of course, this won't happen immediately, but as long as we hear more progress, it will be a catalyst.
Third: Four-layer cross-validation, reducing the "story" to a "low-risk story," so the market dares to offer higher multiples. This is exactly what makes my article most worth reading: AXTI (scheduled until 2027), AEHR (FY27 triple), AAOI/COHR/LITE (explosive), GF (silicon photonics doubling)—four independent financial reports verify SIVE's TAM and timeline. When a pre-revenue story is backed by the entire industry chain, the market's "belief discount" narrows and the willingness to pay multiples increases. Confirmed TAM = acceptable higher multiple = higher market value.
Fourth point: TAM's narrative math makes the $5 billion market cap make sense. GF says the pluggable optical market will be about $25 billion by 2030, and SIVE is an external laser pure player designed by GF SCALE + Jabil 1.6T. Giving it a $5B market cap is only about 0.2 times TAM's 2030 value, or a reasonable share of the laser segment—in a booming AI optical market, this is a very sellable story.
Fourth point: High beta + small-cap + private placement have already been implemented, naturally giving it the flexibility to "surge again."
Its range over the past year was SEK 2.85 → 110, with a ridiculously large beta; After the July private placement, the recent dilution pressure has been released. A small cap that can increase 3–4 times within weeks and has just cleared selling pressure, as long as the catalyst is strong, momentum overshooting fundamentals are the norm, not accidents.
Point six: Sector beta
If the entire AI light line continues to rip before year-end, SIVE will be the most elastic pure laser stock. As long as COHR/LITE/AAOI/CRDO/FN continue to guide upward in Q3/Q4, with 1.6T volume expansion and CPO becoming the consensus, as the "purest laser call option," SIVE will capture the most excess capital flow in this sector.
That's my view—the logic is clear. Let's see how the specific financial report goesKorean stocks have plummeted, but memory is still rising: Did chip stocks really get wrongly killed?
#内存卖方市场延续, can the Korean stock market see a turnaround?
In recent days, South Korean semiconductor stocks have fallen significantly, and Goldman Sachs has judged it as "excessive selling."
When people see the words "wrong kill," many people's first reaction is to buy the dip. But for now, I won't rush in to buy because of that one sentence.
Memory prices and chip stock prices are never in the same rhythm.
Global DRAM supply remains tight, and manufacturers still have bargaining power, indicating that business hasn't significantly worsened at the moment. But stock prices depend on whether they can still make money in half a year. Once capital starts to suspect that the most tight supply-demand phase has passed, even if spot prices are still rising, stocks may still decline.
This round is different from before.
AI servers support the demand for HBM and high-end DRAM, and manufacturers prefer to reserve capacity for high-profit products, so the supply of ordinary memory naturally won't suddenly become loose.
Therefore, I don't quite agree with the idea that "the memory cycle is about to peak." The cycle supported by AI demand is likely to be longer than the past driven solely by phones and computers.
But a longer cycle doesn't mean stocks are cheap now.
What really matters next is how long contract prices can hold firm, whether inventory will pile up again, and whether manufacturers will suddenly accelerate expansion.
If prices keep rising, inventory hasn't gotten out of control, and production expansion is being restrained, this round of decline feels more like sentiment-driven valuation killing. If supply gradually catches up, the so-called "wrong selling" now may just be a rebound midway through the decline.
So I won't rush to take this first cut.
Once Korean chip stocks stabilize and continuous capital inflows in, consider participating in batches. The most common disadvantage in semiconductors is assuming the stock price has bottomed out once the industry is still profitable.
This event also has reference value for the crypto world. If Korean stocks and chip stocks stabilize, it at least indicates that risk appetite in Asia is returning, which will help BTC and altcoin sentiment.
But if memory prices continue to rise while related stocks continue to be sold, it indicates that funds are actively moving away from highly volatile assets.
Instead of rushing to guess the truth, it's better to first see the money sold and when they're willing to pay it back.SKHYNIX showed a clear divergence in the storage sector today: SKHYNIX and SanDisk saw significant declines, while Micron remained relatively resilient and the gap widened. This differentiation usually corresponds to two situations:
First: Micron has already completed its valuation correction and is currently receiving effective support. Once peers finish catching up on the decline, it is expected to lead the sector's rebound;
The second type: resistance to decline appears on the surface, but in reality, the main force uses the liquidity advantage of leading stocks to create a "strong illusion," luring bottom-fishing funds into the market. After accumulating enough counterparts, they concentrate selling pressure to drive the market down.
The two scripts point to completely opposite operational strategies. Currently, there is a lack of sufficient signals to rule out either possibility, so further verification is needed based on subsequent trading volume and changes in order books. Personally, I remain cautious and not rushing to make a definitive judgment.
[The above views are for personal reference only and do not constitute investment advice]#闪迪财报双超预期, $14 billion new share buyback authorization. Sandisk released its Q4 2026 financial report after the U.S. market closed on August 5. Revenue and earnings per share significantly exceeded institutional consensus expectations. The board approved an additional $14 billion share buyback quota. Combined with existing quotas, the total repurchase authorization now reaches $15.5 billion, making it the biggest highlight of this report.
On the performance side, the company posted quarterly revenue of $8.96 billion, a year-on-year surge of 372%, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $39.25, significantly above the market expectation of around $33. AI computing power demand continues to drive the data center business, with segment revenue growing more than 12 times year-on-year. The shortage of NAND chips supports product pricing, pushing the quarterly gross margin up to 84.6%. The company has secured eight long-term supply agreements with leading cloud vendors, locked in a total of $93.9 billion in long-term revenue, and has locked in orders for more than half of its capacity in fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to smooth out storage cycle volatility risks.
The 10-billion-yuan buyback has boosted management's confidence, and ample free cash flow supports ongoing buybacks, which can dilute circulating shares and increase earnings per share in the long term. However, the stock price continued to decline after hours, with the core negative factor being a slowdown in revenue guidance for Q1 2027. The market is concerned that the storage price increase dividend is nearing its end, and that previous sector gains have been overdrawn.
Short-term buybacks can only provide bottom support and are unlikely to reverse the sentiment of capital liquidation; The medium- to long-term market depends on the progress of HBF technology implementation and the fulfillment of long-term contract orders, with the storage sector continuing its high-level volatility pattern. $BTC $ETH $SNDK The foundation is the final judgment seat of this building.
After twenty-six years of architectural design, I developed a professional habit: not looking at renderings, only checking slot inspection records. The CLARITY Act is set to be pushed to a Senate vote this week, the proposed rules for the GENIUS Act have been drafted, and will take effect in January 2027—to outsiders who only watch candlesticks, these are two legal terms; For me, there are two sets of "Unified Code for Building Structure Design" that change industry load standards.
The CLARITY Act is the market framework blueprint for the superstructure. It specifies which materials of columns can be used to climb towers and which beams cannot cross red lines, and the entire capital market structure is redefined as fire compartments like high-rise complexes. Advancing the motion procedure now is equivalent to passing the regulatory approval, but it is still some distance from the construction permit. What truly determines whether this building can stand is the GENIUS Act—stablecoin regulation is not just for facade decoration, but for the foundation base and prestressed pipe piles. There are no strict rules on reserves, leverage, or settlement paths, like using 12-diameter steel bars to support a 60-layer core tube—a gust of wind can tell something is about to happen.
January 2027 is the key point that structural engineers will pay close attention to. The completion of the proposed rules means the design institute has released an officially approved blueprint; By 2027, the implementation means that the 28-day cycle for concrete test blocks in the standard curing room must be completed. You watch the market rise today and fall tomorrow, but I focus on key dates and concealed project acceptance records in the construction log. For a real project, you can see whether it can be topped out at the pile foundation stage.
As for $XTSM, when I checked its overall plan, I saw the impact cycle was "monthly or above." What does it mean to be above the monthly grade? It is the stage for foundation pit excavation, cushion pouring, and full adhesion of the waterproof layer. For any ongoing project, in the past two weeks, regulatory statements have only completed the rebar tying inspection for the second-floor slab. If it hadn't previously embedded compliance, auditing, and independent custody at the bottom of the gravel cushion, then once CLARITY and GENIUS officially issue their execution orders, it would be a high-cost era of main structural reinforcement and renovation.
I've seen too many builders rush to the drawing review company before approval, because the core tube wasn't arranged according to load codes from the start. The white paper is the sales office's sand table; the true design intent is hidden in the reinforcement diagram of each shear wall. What Jeremy Allaire is doing now is calling the heads of each discipline into the meeting room, tapping the structural model, and saying: "The function can be discussed again, but the force system must be recalculated according to the final specification." This action is more qualified than any market analysis to be included in the construction organization design.
Before January 2027, all projects claiming to be stablecoin foundations will be revealed in the data of subsidence observation points. Whether the drawings behind the tower crane are real or not, the construction site is the most honest.

Bullish Scenario: If buyers can hold the $1.0399 support level, the price could consolidate and attempt a small bounce back toward the $1.0550 resistance area.
Bearish Scenario: If selling pressure continues and the price drops below $1.0399, expect further downside movement.#SandiskBeatAndBuyback #OKX.ai U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent remotely named the "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos, using very direct and explosive language. When discussing Fed Chair Walsh's policy style, Bescent said that a major highlight during Warsh's leadership was those "stenographers disguised as journalists"—like Nick Timiraos of The Wall Street Journal—who would become "behind-the-scenes gossip" reporting only on the Fed, because without anyone to feed them, they could not produce real economic or monetary policy analysis. Timiraos has long been regarded as the Fed's most accurate source of information and "mouthpiece." Becent's sarcasm is actually defending Walsh's communication style—since taking office, Walsh has continuously downplayed forward-looking guidance, and Fed policy signals are shifting from "institutions proactively communicating" to "market judgment itself." In this model, the space for "internal channel-style" reporting represented by Timiraos is squeezed; journalists can no longer rely on "policy sources" to write their news and can only turn to analyzing the policies themselves—and this may be exactly what Wash wants. When the Fed stops proactively "releasing data," the information gap in financial markets will narrow, and the price discovery mechanism will adjust accordingly. This is not only a change in the situation of journalists, but also an adjustment in the overall logic of market operations. $BTC $ETH $BICO #临时通航协议待落地, oil price risks have not yet reversed, #特朗普代币遭参议员要求调查 #CLARITY法案推进受阻 Senate divisions widened $BTC 闪迪财报双超预期，新增 140 亿美元回购授权

This shows that the previous market hype about storage price hikes and supply shortages was false; actual performance did not exceed expectations. In contrast, on the A-share side, bubble tech stocks that had previously dropped sharply have weak rebound power, mainly due to low retail investor participation. From the comments from Dongcai, most retail investors are tired of the A-share market where only a few tech sectors and individual stocks rise daily. Whenever prices fall, the comments are filled with excitement. Clearly, the reckless and uncontrolled rally of tech stocks has triggered retail investors' rebellious sentiment, so the weak rebound in tech stocks is related to this factor.Gold Surges While $BTC Waits for Its Next Catalyst
Global markets are sending a clear message: gold continues testing the historic $4,200/oz level, while $BTC remains range-bound despite strengthening long-term fundamentals. The divergence suggests investors are still favoring defensive assets before rotating back into higher-risk markets.
Gold's strength is being supported by ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, sustained central bank buying, and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will gradually adopt a more accommodative monetary stance. At the same time, elevated U.S. Treasury yields and a resilient U.S. dollar continue to cap further upside, leaving gold near a key resistance zone.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to consolidate. Institutional adoption, expanding participation in digital assets, and steady demand for spot ETFs remain constructive long-term drivers. However, the market still lacks a clear catalyst capable of attracting fresh capital and triggering a sustained breakout.
Liquidity across the crypto market also remains below previous expansion cycles. Trading volumes have yet to fully recover as investors wait for key U.S. macroeconomic data—including CPI, PPI, and upcoming Federal Reserve commentary—before increasing risk exposure.
Historically, periods of gold outperformance have often coincided with risk-off market sentiment. As macroeconomic conditions improve, Treasury yields ease, and the U.S. dollar weakens, capital has frequently rotated from traditional safe-haven assets into cryptocurrencies, providing support for both $BTC and $ETH .
Looking ahead, investors should closely watch three key developments:
Whether gold can establish support above $4,200/oz.
Whether $BTC can break out of its consolidation range on rising trading volume.
Whether ETF inflows, moderating inflation, and a more dovish Federal Reserve improve overall market risk appetite.

HOKANEWS reported that President Trump has publicly urged the Senate to advance Clarity before the recess
Act。 This is Trump's first direct statement on crypto regulatory legislation, injecting new political momentum into the bill. The president's intervention could affect the swing vote position within the Republican Party, especially conservative lawmakers who previously viewed the bill as "over-regulated."
Meanwhile, Grayscale is also pressuring Senate leadership, warning that delaying the vote will "threaten America's competitiveness." In its open letter, Grayscale emphasized that the Clarity Act will establish a federal-level regulatory framework for crypto markets, providing institutional investors with clear rules to prevent innovation from leaking to more regulated jurisdictions.
## Data on Cold Wallet Incident Losses Diverges
Galaxy Research today updated the loss data for the Coldcard attack, reporting approximately 1,082.65
BTC was stolen, valued at approximately $70.2 million. This figure is far lower than the previously reported $116 million (Fortune) and $130 million (Bloomberg). The discrepancies in the data may stem from different statistical criteria for "direct losses" and "traceable funds."
This data divergence itself reflects the complexity of the event—the attack affected thousands of addresses, funds were transferred through multiple mixers, and accurately tracking the amount of loss posed technical challenges. Regardless of which data is used, the Coldcard incident has become one of the largest security incidents in Bitcoin history, and its impact on trust in the hardware wallet industry continues to ferment.
## The market awaits the direction of the US dollar opening
BTC consolidated near $64K, with light trading in the Asian and European sessions. The Senate agenda is the most closely watched variable for the market—if news emerges during the US session about confirmation of voting time or a breakout in ethical compromise, BTC could launch a push toward $64,587 (50-day EMA).
If the Senate does not take substantive action today, the market will begin pricing in a "postponed to September" scenario, with BTC possibly pulling slightly back to the $63,000-$63,500 range. However, Grayscale's pressure and Trump's public statements have injected new political momentum into the bill, and there is still a possibility of a last-minute breakthrough this week.
## Summary
BTC consolidated near $64K as Trump publicly urged the Senate to push Clarity for the first time
The Act is the biggest news today. Grayscale is applying simultaneous pressure, and the bill remains uncertain at the last moment. $64,587 is a key technical resistance, and $62,662 is the support below. Coldcard's loss data is divided, but the industry impact of the event continues. It is recommended to monitor Senate developments during the US session; any confirmation of voting timing could drive BTC higher in the short term.Market update
Bitcoin current price is $64,845.50, 24-hour +0.90%. The amplitude closed at 1.78 percentage points, showing considerable volatility.
The 24-hour high was $65,026.60, the low was $63,880.70, with a turnover of $337.76M and plenty of long-short trades.
Across the entire market, 42 stocks rose and 57 fell, accounting for 42.4 percentage points of gains—the sentiment is immediately clear.
Meme/Payments sector is focusing on $DOGE, with relatively low volume. Let's first see if smart money is making any moves.
Public chain/L1 sectors are focusing on $BTC, with narrowing volatility, waiting for the right direction before making moves.
The top three leaders were $BICO +10.36%, $MMT +8.56%, and $ACT +8.18%. Smart money has already voted for it.
The top three leading decliners were $XSNDK down 13.90%, $GRVT down 11.39%, and $XSOXL down 9.52%, with profit-taking positions flipping the table and fleeing.
In short: the number of rising and falling stocks sets the tone; leading the rise and falling determines the direction. Don't go against smart money.

It's still up 501% this year. Short-term sentiment is a concern, but medium- to long-term remains bullish
$SNDK $MU Jupiter has taken the trading experience to the extreme, but turned $JUP into an "appendage"—the protocol is making money, the token is bleeding.
Jupiter's product is strong, but $JUP tokens are a typical case of "product success, token failure"**—the protocol makes money, but holders are suffocated by ongoing dilution and selling pressure.
Jupiter, as the absolute leader aggregator on Solana, has long led in trading volume and revenue, but $JUP has fallen from an ATH of around $2 to around $0.18-0.19 (a drop of about 90%). The reason is simple: users can fully access the full suite of features like Swap, Perps, and Lend, with almost no need to hold $JUP. Tokens mainly rely on governance and staking rewards, with very weak value capture.
Early on, a large amount of Jupuary airdrop + team/investor unlock caused circulating supply to surge from about 1.3 billion to over 3 billion. Even if 3 billion coins are burned and net-zero emissions are pursued, buybacks (over $70 million by 2025) will still fall far short of selling pressure. Community complaints about "dilution outperforming buybacks" are not baseless.
DAO voting was once suspended, founder-related proposals (such as additional allocations for long-term lock-up) sparked controversy, airdrop scale was repeatedly cut, and community sentiment was repeatedly torn apart. Governance tokens should be the core, but instead have become sources of internal friction and FUD.
A large portion of trading volume and revenue comes from the Solana meme coin craze. Once the meme trend fades or network congestion occurs, protocol revenue will drop significantly, which in turn affects buyback capability and token support.
$SOL #西联稳定币卡落地, Visa payment scenarios are advancing further
The true large-scale adoption of stablecoins may have changed the approach.
**In the future, most people won't even need to know they're using stablecoins. **
Western Union has just launched Stablecard.
The first batch covers 37 markets. Users can:
Received cross-border remittances
→ Becomes USDPT
→ Simply use Visa for payment
The underlying layer runs stablecoins.
On the surface, it still looks like a regular bank card.
That's what I think is the most important part.
In the past, the crypto world always thought:
"How do you get merchants to accept USDC?"
But in reality, there may be no need to educate merchants at all.
Visa already has a global payment network.
Stablecoins only need to be connected to the backend.
Users continue to swipe their cards as usual.
Merchants continue to collect fees as usual.
On-chain settlement is hidden behind the scenes.
This is much more realistic than making everyone learn wallets, mnemonic phrases, and gas fees.
So now I feel more and more likely:
Stablecoins will not replace Visa.
More likely:
**Visa integrates stablecoins into its own payment system. **
The real winners may not be just USDT or USDC.
Also included:
Payment networks, stablecoin infrastructure, and low-cost settlement chains like Solana.
This is the real signal that stablecoins are moving from "crypto tools" to real payments, truly worth watching.
Do you think users will need to know which chain they are using in the future?
$SOL $USDC #闪迪财报双超预期, an additional $14 billion repurchase authorization was added
This gold rally isn't because of a 4%+ surge in a single day, but because it broke through the downtrend line that had been suppressed for months. Spot gold is now around 4265, a seven-week high.
Why did it suddenly harden? ADP only rose by 44,000 (expected 70,000+), US Treasury yields and the dollar collapsed together, Hormuz eased oil price drops→ inflation pressure eased→ rate hike narrative shattered, and funds were once again willing to hold non-interest-paying gold.
The location is straightforward:
If a pullback to 4200–4220 can hold steady, I believe this breakout is bullish;
Above 4300–4350, with volume surpassing 4300 to create further room for the next level;
But Friday is the real test for non-farm payrolls, with data booming and yields rebounding—this breakout line could be pushed back at any time.
Above 4200, I am bullish in the short term; if it falls below 4200, it won't recover. The breakout judgment is invalid.
The most interesting thing is—with US Treasury interest rates so high, money is flowing back to buy gold $XAU🚨 CRYPTO REGULATION STANDOFF IN DC 🏛️

$BTC $ETH $GRVT This news hasn't spread widely within the industry yet, but the amount of information is huge. Russian President Putin has officially signed the country's first comprehensive cryptocurrency law, allowing digital asset trading through licensed exchanges regulated by the central bank starting September 1. Note that this window is only open to the three most liquid tokens: $BTC, $ETH, and $USDT are directly named, while other mainstream coins are temporarily excluded. This essentially means the authorities have mapped out a compliant track for the market, and only the top assets are allowed to go first. Some may ask, is banning payments a bad thing? I think I need to open it up and take a look. The closure of payment scenarios does not mean transaction value is closed; on the contrary, it indicates that regulators are building an independent framework for asset pricing and circulation. Historically, sovereign states confirming the legality of cryptocurrency transactions through legislation is itself a milestone event. Market reactions to this news last night have been mixed: $BTC surged nearly 2% in a short time, and $ETH volatility has also significantly increased, indicating that funds are reassessing the liquidity premium after entering this East Asian giant. Thinking deeper, out of 22,800 readers, less than ten truly understand this meaning. Many people's attention remains focused on the price line, overlooking the hint of a policy bottom. If the new regulations are officially implemented in September, compliant buying within Russia will gradually flow into $BTC and $ETH, which will serve as a long-term boost for the currently consolidating market. However, in the short term, $USDT usage within Russia may arise due to regulatory frameworks#Polymarket洽谈10亿美元融资，估值超200亿美元
最近，预测市场平台Polymarket正在寻求约10亿美元融资，目标估值超过200亿美元。这个消息让我重新关注一个方向：
预测市场，可能正在成为加密行业下一个重要入口$BTC
过去大家进入Crypto，更多是通过交易所买卖BTC、ETH，或者参与DeFi。但预测市场提供了另一种玩法：
它不是让用户猜价格，而是让用户对现实世界事件进行概率判断。
比如选举结果、利率变化、体育赛事、经济数据，这些事件本身就有大量关注度，而预测市场把“观点”变成了可以交易的概率。
我觉得它最大的价值，不只是交易量，而是把信息变成了资产。传统社交媒体里，很多人每天发表观点，但没有成本；预测市场里，如果你的判断错误，就会直接承担损失。这会让市场形成一种更接近真实概率的反馈机制。
当然，预测市场未来也会面临竞争。
Robinhood、Coinbase等传统金融和交易平台都在关注这个方向，未来竞争的核心可能不是简单的下注功能，而是谁能拥有更多用户、更好的流动性和更低的参与门槛。
我自己更关注预测市场的一个价值：
它可能成为普通用户接触金融市场的新入口，很多人第一次接触投资，不一定是研究复杂财报，而可能是从“某个事件会不会发生”开始。
如果未来预测市场能够合规发展，并连接更多真实世界数据，它可能不只是Crypto的一个赛道，而会成为金融市场新的信息层。
不过，短期来看，我不会只因为估值上涨就认为它一定成功。
真正需要观察的是：
用户是否持续增长，交易量是否真实，以及预测市场能否从“新鲜玩法”变成长期需求。

#MSTRSells1638BTC #Gold4200BTCStalls #TrumpTokenProbe As the earnings season of Q2 2026 reaches its peak, the US stock storage industry is entering the most closely watched moment. In recent years, the storage industry has been seen as a typical cyclical sector, with performance easily affected by consumer electronics demand and price fluctuations. However, in the latest financial reports released from July to August this year, the market has noticed a clear shift: AI data centers have become the core driver of growth across the entire industry. Whether it's Seagate, Western Digital, or Micron, management repeatedly mentioned AI, data centers, and enterprise-level storage needs during earnings calls. This means the storage industry is no longer solely dependent on the PC and smartphone markets, but is entering a new growth cycle brought by AI infrastructure construction. So, what signals do the financial reports of these three companies actually send? Who is most worth investors' attention? Seagate: AI Drives Demand for Enterprise-Level Hard Drives, HAMR Becomes the Future Growth Engine As one of the world's leading mechanical hard drive companies, Seagate has released its latest quarterly financial report. In terms of performance, the company has once again delivered a report card that exceeded market expectations. This quarter, Seagate's revenue and earnings per share both exceeded market consensus expectations, gross margin continued to improve, and profitability further enhanced. Compared to the same period last year, the company's biggest change comes from the enterprise hard drive business. Management stated that over 90% of large-capacity hard drive shipments currently come from enterprise customers, with major buyers still being Microsoft, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Meta. As AI training models continue to expand,Intesa Sanpaolo significantly reduced its IBIT exposure in Q2, trimming its holdings by 93.7%. The bank also cut its call-option exposure from the equivalent of 2.5M shares to just 18K shares, while adding put-option exposure equivalent to 500K shares.
Meanwhile, its position in BlackRock's staked spot ETH ETF nearly tripled to 349,600 shares, suggesting a broader portfolio shift toward Ethereum while adopting a more defensive stance on Bitcoin through derivatives—rather than simply exiting BTC exposure.
NFA — just my interpretation.
#IntesaShiftsToETH #SandiskBeatAndBuyback #OKXOrbitTopics 8.6. Dahuang midday view
Last night, ADP employment data weakened sharply, with a clear cooling in the U.S. job market. The market is optimistic about September rate cut expectations, causing both the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields to fall simultaneously, strongly pushing gold prices higher, testing the 4300 level.
However, Fed officials continued to issue hawkish stances, concerned that repeated rebounds in inflation could suppress the unilateral surge in gold prices. At midday, profit-taking from bulls gradually exited, and the market entered a phase of high-level recovery and volatility, representing a normal pause after a major rally.
Progress in easing geopolitical tensions, falling oil prices easing inflationary pressures, indirectly benefiting gold's performance. At the same time, regional potential risks have not completely disappeared, and risk aversion can warm at any time, sustaining support for gold prices and avoiding deep declines. Long-term central banks continue to increase gold holdings, maintaining a stable long-term bullish trend; Friday's nonfarm payroll data will determine whether this round of gains can continue.
The daily chart shows strong bullish momentum breaking through the key 4200 level, indicating ample bullish momentum and a fully bullish trend. Currently, indicators have entered an overbought range, indicating short-term technical pullback and recovery needs. Yesterday's 4267 and early trading 4303 formed double high resistance, with short-term upward pressure present.

To get straight to the point: Flow ($FLOW) has a comprehensive score of 55/100, with a rating that emphasizes narrative over implementation. Looking at the three layers, the company team has cash reserves, the protocol network already shows signs of paid usage, and token value transfer still needs to be observed.
Project Overview: Flow (token $FLOW), public chain/L1 track. Focuses on dedicated NFT chains and NBA collaborations. Benchmarks ETH and SOL. Traditional inter-enterprise collaboration relies on cloud servers and contract reconciliation; during high concurrency, gas surges, TPS is limited, and cross-chain bridge security incidents occur frequently.

Pessimistic outlook: $3.00B at 50-70% of the original price, swinging in a neutral range; optimistic outlook: revenue doubled, burns implemented, enterprise clients coming in, FDV corresponding to P/S, aligned with the top. Overall: Solid fundamentals (score 55/100). The token value transmission path is unclear, only governance incentives. Circulating market cap is relatively expensive relative to fundamentals, overdrawing expectations, and FDV is moderate. Risk warning: Short-term large unlocks and sell-offs, long-term protocol revenue reverting to zero, token demand relying solely on incentives (once incentives break and usage collapses). Next, focus on these numbers: protocol fee weekly, burn amount, active address retention, TVL/loan balance, GitHub version release. Information sources are public, logic self-developed, does not constitute buy or sell advice. Data deviations over 30% require revaluation.
That's all for now. See you next time.
#基本面研报 #加密 #研究 #OKXOrbitS&P 500 Sets Another Record High: Selling Now to Wait for a Pullback Could Be August’s Biggest Mistake
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | Q3 · Issue 93
Aspirin – A Data Scientist’s Perspective on Cyclical Analysis
The S&P 500 closed at a new all-time high of 7,736.52, gaining 1.8% on the day and approximately 13% year-to-date. Despite the strong rally, I neither chased the upside nor reduced my core index exposure. While the possibility of a second-half correction remains, even a meaningful pullback could still leave the index trading above current levels.
Bitcoin continues to consolidate around $64.4K. For now, I’m keeping fresh capital in reserve for a potential S&P correction and have only two BTC contract alerts in place at $63.5K and $69.2K.
A 10% Correction Doesn't Guarantee a Better Buying Opportunity
Many investors assume a 10% market correction automatically creates an attractive entry point. In reality, the math often tells a different story.
If the S&P rallies 12% from current levels before declining 10%, it would still finish at roughly 7,798—about 0.8% above today's close.
Even a scenario where the index rises 8% before dropping 10% would bring it to around 7,520, only 2.8% below current levels.
Simply waiting for a pullback isn't a complete investment strategy. Investors who exit the market must correctly identify the peak, anticipate when the correction begins, and execute a timely re-entry. During strong bull markets, record highs often attract momentum capital, and premature bearish positions are frequently squeezed before any meaningful correction unfolds.
Midterm Election Years Often See Late-Summer Volatility
The last three U.S. midterm election years shared a similar seasonal pattern:
2014: The market peaked around September 19, corrected roughly 10%, and bottomed in mid-October.
2018: Weakness emerged around September 21, leading to an approximately 20% decline that extended into December.
