In the last two months, I’ve barely made any gains from crypto contracts But I'm still sitting at the top of the annual profit leaderboard What does that indicate?
It’s pretty straightforward; it shows that making money in crypto is tough right now Other crypto traders aren’t raking it in either, or else I wouldn't still be in first place
For half a year, I've been urging everyone in my streams to trade U.S. stocks I spend almost half of each stream discussing U.S. stocks, gold, and silver When I first started streaming, I even shared my returns from U.S. stocks, and they were on par with my crypto performance
Through my streams and trading teachings, I’ve always hoped everyone could earn more and walk the right trading path with solid trading principles. Recently, I’ve noticed there are hardly any discussions about U.S. stocks in the plaza; such a great market is getting little attention, and it honestly feels disheartening
As traders, when the conditions are right, we must avoid being dogmatic and be more adaptable I often say that traders should be like water: flexible and variable, not like an old pigeon At the same time, we need to learn to allocate our funds wisely, pursuing the easier profits in more active markets
Here's how I allocate my positions and time: Crypto 40% U.S. Stocks 40% A-shares 5% Gold 5% Some treasure fund 4% (barely takes time, buy and forget) Wealth management 3% (barely takes time, buy and forget) Others 3% (barely takes time, buy and forget)
Now, all major platforms have U.S. stock contracts available, just fire up your exchange app Head into the contract section In the dropdown menu, find #TradFi , which is filled with recently popular U.S. stock contracts
Brothers, explore more and don’t let yourselves get trapped in an information cocoon
🎙️ Square First US Stock Live Room—As June Ends with Ghost Stories, Will the Chip Accumulation Main Trend Continue? In July, Will the Index Keep Exploding Upward? How Should We Position Ourselves? When Is the Best Time to Buy the Dip in Bitcoin? Let’s Chat Together in the Live Room
In early June, on Wednesday night when the CPI was released, it was the lowest point for the entire month of June
At the time, I went bargain-hunting on strong stocks: SNDK LRCX AMAT INTC ASML
Aside from ASML lagging a bit, the average gain was 30%+. In recent days, the live stream host has been sighing—actually holding on is truly a kind of mysticism. The more a stock shoots up, the harder it is to hold. The more a stock you’re stuck in, the longer you end up holding it.
The four most expensive words in the stock market have always been:
"I could have" "Sorry—back then, I really didn’t know how to love you"

What are strong stocks?
They are the ones where the index stabilizes and individual stocks pump up, doubling in value.
What about bottom-fishing stocks? Well, those are definitely the weak stocks.
The turbulent month of June is almost over. QQQ in June is no longer possible to fall lower than when we entered at the beginning of the month. The volatility throughout June became extremely large. Especially our main line—storage—it’s become commonplace to swing back and forth by a dozen points or more in a single day. Although the strong stocks we positioned for this month, on average, still rose 20%+ despite the index’s downward trend, many people may not have captured these gains. I have a rough idea why.
When we predicted the June outlook, we said June’s market should be a choppy pullback: big dips followed by aggressive buying, and small dips followed by buying as well. After the consolidation and pullback, we would keep looking favorably toward July. Now July is here. Everyone should know what to do. Money-making advice: use strategies more to protect your position size.
July is a month we liked after experiencing the June consolidation. Recently, many friends have joined our CoinCat Trading Academy. We found that a lot of people aren’t very familiar with the U.S. stock market, so there are a few principles you need to follow:
1. The U.S. stock market can be very profitable, but don’t be in a rush. Investing is a game of time; the U.S. market is suitable for extending your time horizon. 2. The U.S. market is especially suitable for large capital, but individual stocks also have especially large volatility, so it isn’t suitable for high leverage. 3. For beginners: start by getting familiar with the U.S. market using the index, such as QQQ, SPY. At first, don’t trade leveraged ETFs like TQQQ or SOXL. Even popular stocks should only be used with small position sizes to get a feel. 4. Set aside time to learn our trend strategy and long/short breakout strategy as soon as possible. At minimum, replay and review the last two years of market action using the strategies—4-hour, 2-hour, and daily timeframes all work. 5. If you don’t have enough time, just invest in index funds and ETFs, and also consider a few hot stocks along the main theme. 6. When you’re just starting, focus mainly on spot positions, strictly control leverage. Especially for individual stocks, total leverage ideally should not exceed 3x. QQQ index leverage can be a bit higher, but still keep it within 10x. 7. Consistent investing using a certain method (DCA) is an efficient investment approach that almost ordinary people can use to make money with a very high probability. Put U.S. index DCA into our “retirement plan.” Decades later, it will be much more than our pension. 8. Position control is the top priority. Don’t go all-in and bet everything on a single stock, no matter how much you believe in it. This approach can lead to wealth overnight—or also catastrophic losses. Make sure we always stay seated at the table.
Hope everyone makes more money along the trading journey, learns real skills, and achieves financial freedom as soon as possible ❤️
🎙️ Square’s First US Stock Live Room — US stocks’ June turbulence is over, will July bring a surge month? Is there risk in holding high-position storage? What should you do now? Bitcoin starts dollar-cost averaging—let’s chat together in the live room
Pulled some data and tracked US stock performance around Independence Day, with an over 90% probability of gains.
This coming Friday, US markets will be closed. Around Independence Day, the Nasdaq overall has shown a very consistent pattern. Over the 15 years from 2011 to 2025: on the trading day before the holiday, it was basically a steady uptrend—up in 14 out of 15 times. On the last trading day before Independence Day, it also rose 13 times.
During US holidays, liquidity thins out. Bears are less willing to force a heavy sell, and institutions also tend to make the books look a bit better. Plus, tech stocks with higher weights are easier for funds to nudge upward as they move.
My thinking is simple: The one-month pullback from June volatility has ended, and in July the index will resume its upward move.
The South Korean government is leading the charge and betting the country’s fortunes on it. Samsung and SK hynix will together invest more than $1 trillion, and in 2025 alone, South Korea’s total GDP will be $1.87 trillion.
Over the next decade, South Korea will continue to heavily allocate to semiconductors and memory.
So you see how SK hynix and Samsung are going to operate, right?
This week’s core for US stocks is “Employment Data Week” and “US Independence Day (250th anniversary)”.
Monday: First, look at the follow-through after last week’s pullback. There is no major macro data on Monday, so focus is on the market’s own ability to repair. Last week both Nasdaq and the S&P 500 fell noticeably, and there are signs of cooling in tech stocks, AI, and semiconductors. MU’s earnings were strong, but whether it can continue to drive the expansion across the memory supply chain still needs confirmation from this week’s market action.
Tuesday: JOLTS + Consumer Confidence—first, see whether employment and consumption are loosening. Tuesday is the first batch of key macro data this week. Beijing time: 22:00—Consumer Confidence Index, JOLTS job openings. Before the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), the market will use JOLTS to gauge whether the labor market has truly cooled. Another factor to watch is consumer confidence. On Tuesday evening, there’s also NKE earnings. For NKE, the focus is on global consumption, athletic apparel inventory, the DTC channel, and demand in China. This is not a tech-led theme, but it can help the market judge whether US and global consumption has actually weakened.
Wednesday: ADP + ISM Manufacturing—this is a preview ahead of NFP. Beijing time: 20:15—ADP employment 21:30—Remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh 22:00—ISM Manufacturing PMI The most critical thing on Wednesday is twofold: ADP for employment expectations, and ISM for manufacturing activity and price pressure. You’ll also need to watch Kevin Warsh’s remarks on Wednesday.
Thursday: This week’s core—Nonfarm Payrolls released early. Thursday is the most important day this week because US markets are closed on Friday, so the June NFP will be released early on Thursday. Beijing time 20:30—Nonfarm employment, unemployment rate, average hourly earnings, initial jobless claims. This set of data will directly determine the market’s risk appetite for the latter half of Thursday.
Also, US stocks will close early on Thursday. The US stock market closes at 13:00 ET, which is around 01:00 Beijing time on Friday for the end of regular trading. This means after the data is released, the market has less time to react, and liquidity may be thinner. If intraday volatility amplifies, don’t interpret it using liquidity conditions typical of a normal trading day.
In the chart below, the K-line chart is for Xiaomi.
The blue line is for Hynix.
As for 100x stocks and 1000x stocks, ordinary people find it very difficult to pick them. If we don’t consider the environment and don’t consider whatever K-line pattern, and we just hold on stubbornly, the probability of a 50% drop is also very high—especially for many “old guys” who are full of faith in the stock: once they enter at a high point, they may never be able to get their money back for the rest of their lives.
When trading, we’re not placing our faith in the stock we hold. Instead, no matter how the trend moves, I have a response method tailored to that trend.
In a bull market, you believe that there will always be someone more optimistic who will take over the high-priced stock at an even higher price. This is the fundamental reason you lose big money in a bull market.
One core feature of South Korean society is fierce competition and extremely low social mobility
If ordinary people in South Korea don't gamble, they have no way out; even though gambling may still leave them with no way out, they still have a slim chance of hope
A minor rebound in the index, but the real market is only in storage; other AI semiconductor chains are following poorly
Today, the U.S. stock market repaired on the surface: SPY rose 0.14% to close at 734.30, QQQ rose 0.81%, and IWM rose 0.75%
The semiconductor ETF rebounded more noticeably: SOXX rose 3.94%. But today, there was only one true main theme—storage. MU rose 15.74%, with volume higher than the 20-day average by 46.42%; SNDK rose 21.97%, with volume higher than the 20-day average by 35.62% These two stocks directly lifted the semiconductor ETF. So today’s SOXX rise shouldn’t be simply interpreted as a broad-based recovery in semiconductors. It was a strong reversal/upswing in the storage line that drove the chip ETF to repair. Because within semiconductors, the divergence is actually severe: NVDA fell 1.64%, AVGO fell 0.83%, DELL fell 5.67%, HPE fell 4.16%. Even though MRVL rose 1.65%, its volume was still below the 20-day average by 46.53%. In other words, AI core chips, server hardware, and AI infrastructure were not simultaneously strengthening—what’s truly strong is only MU and SNDK.
But note that today’s rally is extremely aggressive. MU and SNDK both surged by double digits, and it was a high-volume rebound. That indicates strong buying pressure, but it also suggests very high volatility.
Software remains weak: IGV fell 1.64% CRM fell 1.68%, NOW fell 4.56%, SNOW rose slightly by 0.49%. Previously, we observed some capital backing for software, but today it didn’t continue. This suggests that capital has not truly shifted from AI hardware to the AI application layer; software is still the weak direction.
M7 is also very poor MSFT fell 3.46%, AMZN fell 3.10%, META fell 2.65%, and GOOG fell 0.83%. Among them, both MSFT and AMZN saw trading volumes clearly above the 20-day average. This implies large tech still has real sell pressure. The high-profit storage theme means a larger capital expenditure for large tech as compared to storage.
At the sector level, today also isn’t a typical tech-led market. Among 11 major sectors: Industrials XLI rose 2.17%, Healthcare XLV rose 1.49%, Materials XLB rose 1.33%, Energy XLE rose 0.97%, Technology XLK rose 0.83%—which ranked fifth. Consumer Discretionary XLY fell 1.49%, and Communication Services XLC fell 0.90%
This means the market rebound looks superficial, but what’s truly strong is Industrials, Healthcare, and Materials. Within tech, it’s only propped up by storage.
Macro picture U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is around 4.392%, lower than a few days ago. The U.S. dollar index dipped slightly to 101.459. WTI crude oil rebounded modestly by 1.75%. Gold rose 1.09%. VIX edged up to 18.89.
Keep an eye out: the index is still expected to face pullback
Yesterday took a massive dip -19%, felt great! Brothers who bought at the peak should now be looking at profits like CBRS's margins—only 37% left.

#CBRS dropped over 6% after earnings, close to breaking the IPO price, which is nice.
When I say #CBRS , do you think of #SPCX ?
I've mentioned before, after a new IPO hits the market, it's likely to pump first, get the hype up, and then slide down towards the IPO price. You launch at 185, open at 350, hit nearly 400, and a bunch of folks see AI chips, OpenAI, AWS, and start FOMOing, thinking not buying is missing out on the next NVIDIA.
But savvy traders never play that game.
With a fresh listing, liquidity is thin, emotions are high, valuations are unanchored; any buy order can pump it, and any sell order can tank it. If you jump in at this stage, it’s not investing; it’s a race against the market to see who can run faster.
This earnings report wasn’t bad at all, revenue exceeded expectations, guidance was decent, yet the stock still fell. The market isn’t lacking stories; it needs validation. No matter how great your story is, the valuation is already pumped, and as long as the earnings report isn’t explosive enough to shut everyone up, someone will sell. Without expectations, how can it rise?
This is the usual post-IPO process.
First, build hype, then pump, then kill the valuation, and finally see the earnings report.
Ultimately, this will determine if this asset is worth anything in the future.
So, I wasn’t in a rush with CBRS before; a 6% drop, a 10% drop, didn’t faze me at all. As long as it doesn’t break the IPO price, I won’t feel like it’s cheap. Even if it does break the IPO price, I won’t just blindly buy; I need to see the upcoming earnings data.
If it's truly solid, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Why rush? Investing is a marathon; we’re watching who can finish the race, not how fast they run in the middle. You can tire out and get wrecked along the way.
I've been telling folks for the past few months that the crypto market is trash, not to flex on how smart I am, but to help those who trust me lose a bit less.
The market doesn't care if you've lost a lot; it just crushes those who won't throw in the towel.
🎙️ The top US stock livestream—was yesterday's stream enough to recharge your faith? I've received a ton of thank-you notes, the US stocks are still rolling, positions remain open, everyone keep stacking those gains, the June playbook, and the July playbook are already set, let's chat in the livestream.
If you missed the boat on storage, missed on Micron and Hynix, don't blame the market, and don't come at me. I think you need to reflect on one thing: Why are you always 'gloomy when it dips, and optimistic when it pumps'?
Yesterday, Hynix dropped 12%, and you shorted it to hell; today it rebounds, and suddenly you think the bull market is back. What's the difference between you and a bull teased by a red cloth?
I won't change my outlook just because of a big green candle, just like I won't deny logic because of a big red candle. If you ask me what today's surge means? My answer is: it means nothing. It simply validates the core message from yesterday's article— As long as the AI narrative isn't disproven, every big fluctuation is the market cleaning out the weak hands.
Yesterday, it cleaned out the FOMO traders, those leveraging up without patience. Today, the market is clearing out another type—those who panic and run at the first sign of profit or jump around when they slightly miss out.

SK Hynix dropped 12%, and a bunch of folks are shouting that the bubble has burst. When it shot up 200%, you didn’t say it was a bubble, but now that it’s down 12%, you’re starting to get the risk?
Seriously, don’t freak out just because it dipped.
The scariest part of a bubble isn’t the drop; it’s that when prices are rising, you don’t dare to buy, and when they fall, you’re even more hesitant. In the end, you’re just watching others rake in profits while you’re in the comments screaming about the peak.
This wave in Korea isn’t about AI demand disappearing; it’s that things shot up too high, there was too much leverage, and emotions were running wild. When prices are climbing, everyone’s a semiconductor expert, but after a single drop, suddenly everyone’s a risk management guru.
What you should really be afraid of isn’t the bubble, but your lack of a plan. When it drops 5%, you’re cursing; at 10%, you’re cutting losses; at 20%, you’re waiting for it to go to zero. Then when it bounces back 30%, you’re back to asking if it’s time to FOMO in.
As long as the AI narrative isn’t disproven, assets like storage, computing power, and semiconductors will see big swings as the market flushes out the weak hands. It cleans out the late buyers, the leveraged traders, and those without patience. Your job isn’t to predict if today’s the lowest point; the average Joe doesn’t have that ability.
Buy small on minor dips and go big on major drops. If the logic breaks, own up and exit.
But remember, never go all-in, don’t get emotional, and don’t YOLO gamble. It’s not that hard for the average trader to make money.
Hynix is set to hit the US stock market in July, with a subscription date on July 14 and the new stock listing set for July 29. Meanwhile, DRAM is about to launch a 2x leverage product RAM. Once Hynix goes live on the US markets, with that liquidity, we could see another massive pump.
Micron's earnings report is a clear signal of what printing money feels like.
This quarter's revenue hit $41.5 billion, smashing the market's top expectation of $38 billion. The key takeaway isn’t just the revenue beating forecasts, but the gross margin at 84.9%.
Do you know what an 84.9% gross margin means? Even the leader Nvidia is only at 75%. Plus, the whole market is experiencing shortages, customers are lining up to throw cash, and Micron is calling all the shots on pricing.
A few days ago, they hinted at increasing DRAM capacity after HBM profits fell short of expectations.
What’s the move here? It’s a wake-up call for Huang; if you don’t raise prices, Cook is still waiting in line.
Previously, people said storage was a cyclical stock, with price hikes followed by drops, earning a few years and losing a few years.
Now, Micron’s data centers, cloud storage, mobile clients, and automotive embeds are all exceeding expectations; it’s not just one segment exploding but a total breakout. This is what we call a massive win.
Even crazier, next quarter’s gross margin is set to keep climbing, and the revenue guidance is far beyond market expectations.
This indicates that demand and price hikes show no signs of slowing down; AI demand isn’t just PPT hype, it’s genuinely blowing up Micron’s profit margins.
Just days ago, when a bunch of folks saw Korea’s market circuit breakers, SK Hynix tanking, and Nasdaq futures dropping, they started shouting about a storage crash.
I’ve been saying, storage is a key player in the AI narrative; it’s not going to collapse after just one or two bad days.
If this earnings report is considered an AI bubble, then I can only say this bubble is just too profitable.
🎙️ The premier US stock livestream in the square—where to enter the bottom zone for Hynix, will US stocks rise or fall in July, is the next main trend still focused on storage? Let's chat together in the livestream.
