1. Xiaomi: EV sales likely tripled YoY but still small vs smartphones/IoT. Focus will be on margins—if EV losses narrow while phones hold steady, the EV story “materialises.” Otherwise, core segments still weigh more. 2. Pop Mart: Labubu & Crybaby remain strong, but fad risk is high. Expansion abroad + gold jewellery helps diversify. Sustained stock support depends on launching new IPs before existing ones peak. 3. Options play: Buy calls = direct upside bet, but costly with high implied vol. Sell puts = better if you’re long-term bullish and willing to own at lower price; riskier if earnings disappoint. Professionals often sell puts on stocks they want to own, while calls suit short-term momentum trades.
TOPAthena Spenser: EV sales triple is big, but margins are key,narrowed losses could shift the story.

<Part 3 of 5> When 21 indicators point in the same direction - Market outlook for S&P500 (18Aug25)
Market Outlook of S&P500 (18Aug25) Technical observations: MACD - currently shows an uptrend. We can expect the top crossover to be completed in the coming few days. Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) lines are showing an uptrend. The lines are converging, which represents a potential reversal of the current uptrend. However, the convergence is not yet complete, and we expect 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 0.03, indicating more buying pressure over the past 20 periods. However, it is on a downward trend, with most using the middle “0” line as the indicator for trend change. Based on the daily interval, 21 indicators recommend a “buy” rating,

Nvidia: A Split Decision in the AI Gold Rush
When you’re sitting on a market cap north of $4.4 trillion and your stock has more than doubled in the past year, the champagne problem becomes obvious: your share price looks like it belongs on the menu of a fine dining restaurant rather than a trading app. Nvidia, the chipmaker turned AI overlord, is once again flirting with a stock split, and the question on my mind is whether management will feel compelled to make the shares appear more bite-sized to retail investors without diluting the company’s gravity-defying fundamentals. Unstoppable ascent: Nvidia’s surge reshapes investor psychology A Price Tag That Feels Like a Gatekeeper At $180 a share, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ doesn’t yet carry the sticker shock of a four-digit stock like Berkshire Hathaway,

Palantir’s Skyrocketing Stock May Be Headed for a Historic Fall
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ When Great Stories Meet Greater Valuations Palantir Technologies has morphed from a polarizing defense-and-data contractor into 2025’s poster child for AI-fueled software exuberance. The company’s second-quarter print was objectively strong—revenue accelerated, margins expanded, free cash flow surged, and guidance stepped higher. But the stock’s rally has been even stronger. Palantir is among the year’s top performers in the major indices, and that outperformance has invited a new wave of skeptics who argue that price has sprinted far ahead of fundamentals. Notably, famed short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research has publicly disclosed a bearish position, warning that the stock’s current valuation leaves room f

Last week’s market trend was close to what I expected, with the Russell 2000 showing stronger momentum than the S&P 500. It seems investors are rotating into underperforming areas while big tech takes a breather. Retail sales data also confirmed U.S. consumers remain resilient, though inflation worries are creeping back. This week, my main focus is Xiaomi’s $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ earnings. Beyond smartphones, its EV business is drawing attention, and I’ll be watching whether both segments can beat expectations. With sentiment already high, the numbers and guidance will be key to the stock’s next move. I believe this report could also set the tone for other Chinese tech stocks in the near term.

CoreWeave Stock Plunges—A Golden Buying Opportunity or Warning Sign?
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ Introduction: When Hypergrowth Meets Hard Math CoreWeave has been the darling of the AI infrastructure boom—one of a handful of “AI hyperscalers” able to put scarce Nvidia accelerators to work at staggering scale. Since its March IPO at $40 a share, the stock sprinted ahead on breathtaking revenue growth, swelling backlog, and the promise of multi-year, capacity-constrained demand from frontier model labs and enterprises. Then August arrived. A wider-than-expected GAAP loss, eye-watering interest expense, and a mammoth capex plan converged with a lock-up expiry and a wave of insider supply. The shares cracked—falling double digits around earnings and then sliding further as early holders sold more than $1 billion of stock.

eToro Group Stock Plummeted. Is Crypto Trading Weakening—or Is the Market Overreacting?
$eToro Group Ltd.(ETOR)$ eToro Group’s first summer as a newly public company has been anything but boring. After an eagerly watched U.S. listing in May at $52 per share, the social trading pioneer delivered a headline-beating second quarter—but the stock promptly slid, dropping ~8% on the day and dipping below its IPO price before stabilizing in the high $40s. The sell-off sparked a predictable question for investors: is this the first crack in the retail-trading renaissance, led by crypto enthusiasm, or simply a textbook bout of post-earnings volatility amplified by cautious guidance? Recent filings and coverage suggest a nuanced picture: operational momentum remains intact, but the market is repricing expectations for the pace—and mix—of tradin

$US DOLLAR CASH "A" USD ACC(LU0261952922)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ For nearly eight decades, the U.S. dollar has stood unrivaled as the world’s reserve currency. It lubricates global commerce, anchors central bank reserves, and acts as the primary unit of account for trade settlements. Yet, in 2025, the pillars underpinning dollar dominance appear less certain than ever. From China’s quiet push for local currency trade, to rising inflation fueled by tariffs, to foreign investors cutting exposure to U.S. assets—the world’s relationship with the greenback is shifting.

$CLSK CALENDAR 250815/250829 PUT 12.0/PUT 12.0$ Rolling this expiring short puts further out by 2 weeks to buy some time. Strike remained at $12 as it's far in the money so very little premium collection and most price is for intrinsic value. This is only to delay assignment as I've already took up another batch and is selling covered call with similar strike of $12. If CLSK goes above $12 by Aug, then these trades will be nicely netted off, but likely it's not, so more trade management is needed. Price is weak despite relatively high BTC pricing. Guess the premiums assigned to these companies are eroding.
