Ethereum, the second-ranked cryptocurrency, performed strongly during the weekend, leading the digital asset market as demand from institutional investors and buyers in the corporate finance sector continued to grow.During the Asian trading session on Monday, Ethereum rose as much as 2.9%, exceeding $4,300, setting a new high since December 2021; At the same time, Bitcoin once exceeded US $122,000 per piece, approaching the highest price in history. U.S. cryptocurrency concept stocks continued to rise in night trading, BMNR rose more than 15%, Coinbase rose nearly 8%, Strategy and MARA Holdings rose more than 5%, and Circle rose more than 4%.The rally stems from growing interest in Ethereum among large investors.Since the beginning of this year, more than $6.7 billion has flowed into nine
I currently hold shares in Wendy’s (WEN), and their recent Q2 earnings report gives me plenty of reasons to feel optimistic. The numbers show a company that’s improving its profitability while staying connected to its customer base in creative ways. First, the basics: Wendy’s beat expectations for the quarter, reporting an adjusted EPS of $0.29, which is a 7.4% increase in diluted earnings per share compared to the previous year. This rise in EPS is supported by a slight increase in net income, primarily driven by higher operating profits. These figures suggest that Wendy’s is effectively managing costs and enhancing operational efficiency, a crucial factor in the competitive fast-food industry where margins can be tight. In addition to strong earnings, Wendy’s announced a regular quarterl
Earnings for the week 11Aug25 - Oh Deere? (part 1 of 5)
Economic Calendar: Key Market Movers (week of 11Aug25) Public Holidays There are no public holidays in China, Singapore, America or Hong Kong. Observations Next week's key macroeconomic events will centre on the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a primary indicator of inflation. Market participants are anticipating a rise in CPI, which could raise concerns among investors hoping for a reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. This outcome may even prompt the Federal Reserve to consider an interest rate hike. Additionally, the Producer Price Index (PPI) is projected to increase to 0.2%, up from the previous month. The PPI serves as an early indicator of inflationary pressures on producers, which are often subsequently passed on to consumers. Further economi
Market Outlook of S&P500 (11Aug25) Technical observations: MACD - the top crossover is completed, which implies a downtrend. However, there can be a change to an uptrend. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) lines are showing an uptrend. The lines are converging, which represents a potential reversal of the current uptrend. But the convergence is not completed, and we are expecting the uptrend to continue. Both the 50 MA line and the 200 MA line are showing an uptrend. This speaks of a bullish outlook for both the short and long term. The CMF is positive at 0.05, indicating more buying pressure over the past 20 periods. The technical indicators suggest a “Strong Buy”. Based on daily intervals, we have 20 indicators showing a “Buy” rating and 1 showing a “Sell” rating. Outlook and Implicat
News and my thoughts from the past week (11Aug25) part 4 of 5
News and my thoughts from the past week (11Aug25) China’s ton-class drone delivers supplies to offshore oil platforms 150km off the coast. A great leap in efficiency: 8 hours by ship compared to less than 1 hour by drone. China’s exports defy trade war headwinds in July as growth surges to 7.2% China’s exports beat market forecasts in July as rising shipments to Europe, Africa and Latin America offset the impact of US tariffs - SCMP Image The US economy is splitting in two. There’s a rip-roaring AI economy. And there’s a lacklustre consumer economy. - Macro: Last quarter, spending on AI outpaced the growth in consumer spending - Stocks: In the last two years, ~60% of equity returns have come from “AI-related” companies, esp the hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta (per JPM) - Micro: Accord

🔥🚀 $RKLB: Pennant Breakout Meets Multi-Decade Space Supercycle 🚀🔥
$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ I’m extremely confident $RKLB is on the verge of a breakout that could redefine its market position, driven by a bullish pennant setup, institutional accumulation, and a Neutron launch window that could ignite a space sector re-rate. This isn’t noise; it’s the start of a multi-decade growth cycle that Wall Street is still underpricing. 📊 Chart Breakdown $RKLB closed at 44.64 (+1.09%), breaking through a tightly wound bullish pennant that’s been forming since the 53.44 high. The 1H and 4H Keltner and Bollinger overlays show price consolidating near the EMA21 and EMA55 mid-zones, with upper Keltner resistance near 48 and Bollinger squeeze targeting 50+. Weekly structure holds above the 30MA at 43.24, maintaining higher l
🚀📈🛡️ Micron’s Weekly Bull Flag Breakout + Tariff Immunity – The Best Setup Into Next Week 📈🚀🛡️
$Micron Technology(MU)$ I’m zeroed in on $MU as it delivers a textbook weekly bull flag breakout. Price has ripped through the descending channel’s upper boundary and is holding above the $110–$113 pivot zone, with the all-time high anchored VWAP acting as a perfect pivot. On the weekly chart, resistance sits at $121.30 and $131, with downside support at $113.50, $109.00, and $104.00. The 4H chart shows price exploding above both Keltner and Bollinger bands, with EMA13 at ~$112, EMA21 at ~$113, and EMA55 at ~$115 now stacking as rising support. MACD momentum has flipped firmly bullish. RSI is pushing higher toward overbought but still leaving room for extension. This is the definition of a liquidity flush that transitions into sustained upside. 📊 Ch
🌟🌟🌟Earnings Season is in full swing. A Strangle is an options strategy where you buy a Call and a Put Option on the same stock, with different strike prices but the same expiration date. You are betting the stock will move a lot, but you don't care which direction. Call Option: You profit if the stock goes up. Put Option: You profit if the stock goes down. Strangle : You profit if the stock goes anywhere but sideways. Here is the catch: Strangles cost money upfront to buy. If the stock's earnings barely move the needle, both your Call and Put Options could expire worthless. So can Strangle make you money? Absolutely, only if the stock delivers fireworks. But if the stock barely splutters, you are out of luck. Strangle is a great strategy for the bold and tact
Overall Market Overview Global equities ended the week on a mixed note as US tech stocks led Wall Street higher, Europe showed cautious trade amid record gold prices, and Asia grappled with renewed US-China trade tensions. Investor sentiment was supported by strong US sector performance but weighed down by geopolitical uncertainty. Wall Street Powers Ahead US markets closed higher, with the Dow Jones $DJIA(.DJI)$ adding 206.97 points (+0.4%) to 44,175.61, the S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ climbing 49.45 points (+0.7%) to 6,389.45, and the Nasdaq Composite $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$
$Amgen(AMGN)$ Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), one of the stalwarts of the biotechnology industry, recently reported its quarterly earnings, delivering results that on the surface seemed impressive. The company posted a classic “beat-and-raise” quarter—surpassing Wall Street earnings estimates and subsequently increasing its full-year guidance. Typically, this combination acts as a catalyst for bullish investor sentiment. Yet, despite these positive headlines, Amgen’s stock performance faltered in the immediate aftermath, puzzling some investors and analysts alike. This divergence between solid fundamental results and muted market reaction invites a deeper dive. Was the market’s cautious stance justified? Or did Amgen’s stumble represent an opportunity
SOUN Rockets on Earnings: Is the Nvidia-Linked AI Hype Worth Chasing?
$SoundHound AI Inc(SOUN)$ SoundHound AI’s shares exploded following a blowout quarter. For investors who track thematic momentum — particularly anything that smells like “Nvidia adjacency” or AI-platform upside — the reaction has been electric: a mid-week rally that erased weeks of downward pressure and thrust the name back into headlines. But underneath the price action are two competing narratives: (1) a genuine acceleration in voice and conversational AI monetization across auto, restaurants and enterprise customer service, and (2) an outsized multiple being attached to a still-lossmaking business that depends on execution, channel scaling and margin improvement. This article dissects the numbers, the market’s reaction, the fundamentals and wha
For a man who hates to be away from the limelight, Elon Musk has been awfully quiet recently, ever since his massive fallout with Trump. Maybe it is better that he lies low for a while until there is good news coming out from $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ or his other companies. Recently Elon Musk’s list of companies point to a period of unusual instability and growing challenges. Dojo Supercomputer. Turbulence begins at the top, with a wave of senior staff departures reverberating through core technology and product teams. (see below) Peter Bannon, the head of now-defunct Dojo supercomputer project, have left Tesla, to start his own venture DensityAI. (see above) This is the 2nd departure after original head, Ganesh Venkataramanan left in December 2023, a
The Under Armour Stock Cratering — A Closer Look at the Fall After Recent Earnings: Is This a Buying Opportunity?
$Under Armour(UA)$$Under Armour Class A(UAA)$ Under Armour’s shares cratered in early August after the athletic-wear company published quarterly results that, while not catastrophic on the headline numbers, came with an outlook and commentary that unnerved investors. The stock’s sharp move lower reflects a mix of worsening near-term profitability expectations, continuing top-line pressures — especially in North America — and the company’s explicit attribution of a non-trivial portion of the hit to tariff and supply-chain related costs. For value-oriented investors the immediate question is simple but consequential: is today’s price a margin-of-safety-rich entry or a value trap waiting to tighten further? Be
I’m feeling cautiously optimistic this week. The rebound in Bitcoin and Ethereum over the weekend has definitely caught my attention, and I think it could spark momentum across crypto-related stocks. The market seems to be shaking off some of last week’s uncertainty, and with risk appetite picking up, there might be short-term opportunities. My focus will be on tracking names with high crypto correlation—whether it’s miners, exchanges, or companies holding large BTC reserves. If crypto prices keep pushing higher, we could see a sentiment-driven rally spill over into these equities. I’ll be watching for breakout patterns or volume surges that confirm the move. That said, I’m still keeping risk management in check. The macro backdrop is mixed, with ISM data showing softening demand but high
Twilio Stock Is Tumbling 20%, Earnings Beat Wasn’t Enough! Is It a Buying Opportunity?
$Twilio(TWLO)$ Twilio Inc. (NYSE: TWLO), a cloud-communications platform company, saw its share price tumble nearly 20% following the release of its second-quarter 2025 results. Despite beating expectations on key metrics — with EPS of $1.19 versus $1.05 expected and revenues of $1.23 billion compared to $1.19 billion — investor sentiment soured amid concerns over compressed margins and cautious guidance. This abrupt market reaction has sparked a critical question among investors: does Twilio’s steep sell-off present a strategic entry point, or does it signal deeper, structural challenges? This analysis examines its performance, fundamentals, cash flows, and valuation in detail to determine whether the dip is an opportunity or a warning. Performan
