🔥 MU’s earnings report blind box tonight! History has repeatedly seen “heaven-earth needles.” Stare at 1033 and 1101—never bet on the first K-line!
Tonight after the US market closes, Micron (MU) will release its FY2026 Q4 earnings report.
The market currently expects revenue of about $51 billion and an adjusted EPS of about $31.5. But I think what truly matters tonight isn’t the Q4 numbers themselves, but: HBM4 progress, and demand plus guidance for 2027.
📊 I. First look at history: earnings = high-volatility blind box
$MU After the last 4 earnings reports, the next-day price action was: • June 2026: +15.74% • March 2026: -3.78% • December 2025: +10.21% • September 2025: -2.82%
Over the past 11 quarters, it’s been 5 up and 6 down.
So there’s an important rule in earnings trading: beating expectations doesn’t necessarily mean the stock price will rise; what truly determines direction is “how much it beat by.”
This time, the market’s main focus is HBM4 mass production, AI storage demand, and 2027 pricing plus supply/demand. Currently, analysts are split on the next phase too: some believe storage tightness driven by AI could continue into 2027, while others worry storage prices may hit a turning point in 2027.
🎯 II. My trading scenario: lock in 1033 and 1101
Now take a look at the MU contracts I’m watching on the GATE order board: Upper band resistance: 1101 Lower band support: 1033
So my trading idea tonight is very simple: 1️⃣ If the earnings report and guidance clearly beat expectations and we break above 1101 on strong volume, I won’t chase the first K-line—I’ll wait for a pullback to confirm. 2️⃣ If it breaks below 1033 on strong volume, I won’t rush to buy the dip; I’ll first watch whether 1033 can regain and hold. 3️⃣ If after the report there are both upward and downward wicks and price ultimately returns to the 1033–1101 range, I’ll choose to stay on the sidelines.
🔥 Summary
Earnings are the fundamentals; price reaction is the trading signal.
I won’t bet on the first K-line. I only do: break → pull back → don’t break → then follow.
Tonight’s real question isn’t how much MU earned in Q4, but: Does the market believe the AI storage super-cycle can still extend into 2027?
What’s your take on MU’s showdown tonight?

🔥 Public companies buy another 2,305 BTC in a week! Strategy holdings: 846,000 BTC—how long can the coin-hoarding flywheel keep turning?
Last week, Strategy and Strive collectively increased their holdings by 2,305 BTC. Strategy now holds 846,000 BTC, while Strive has 26,355 BTC. In total, publicly listed companies worldwide hold about 1.273 million BTC. Many people see this number and immediately think: public companies are crazily hoarding coins—BTC will definitely keep rising in the long run. But I’m more focused on one question: Is Strategy’s “financing → buy BTC → stock price rises → keep financing” flywheel truly a perpetual engine? Strategy’s playbook is actually very clear: it raises funds through issuing new shares, preferred stock, debt, and other methods, then puts that capital into BTC. As long as the market is willing to give MSTR a higher valuation premium relative to BTC, the company can more easily keep financing and keep buying coins. That’s also why when MSTR rises, it often clearly outperforms BTC. But the flywheel isn’t a perpetual motion machine. Once BTC falls, or the market starts compressing MSTR’s premium relative to its BTC assets, the company’s financing capacity may decline—and MSTR could even experience a larger drawdown than BTC. Moreover, Strategy has already sold BTC this year and executed actions like topping up its USD reserves. This precisely shows: companies hoard coins—they don’t only buy and never sell. So when I look at MSTR now, I don’t just focus on “how many more BTC it bought.” I look at four things: BTC trend, MSTR’s relative strength versus BTC, MSTR’s valuation premium, and the stock’s technical structure. My trading logic is also simple: When BTC strengthens → MSTR is stronger → break out → pullback and confirmation—then consider right-side opportunities. If BTC is rising but MSTR is clearly lagging BTC, or the premium is contracting quickly, I’ll become more cautious. My core view: Public companies hoarding BTC is becoming an increasingly important capital allocation strategy. But what’s truly worth studying isn’t “who buys more”—it’s this: Can these companies ultimately convert “holding BTC” into “increasing value per share”? So BTC is the core asset; MSTR is a high-beta BTC tool with capital structure. What do you think?
🔥 ORCL plunges 60% in one year! With $66.4B RPO, even that can’t stop the pullback—what exactly is the market trading in the AI sector?
Trading to watch: $ORCL $BTC $TAO
Oracle (ORCL) closed on September 26 at $137.10. If we calculate from the all-time high of $345.72 set on September 10, 2025, the maximum drawdown is about 60.34%.
Strangely, Oracle’s AI business hasn’t fallen apart: Q1 revenue was $19.3B, up 30% year-over-year; cloud infrastructure revenue was $7.4B, up 121%; RPO reached $66.4B, and the company delivered more than 300,000 GPUs.
So why is the stock down so much? I think the market is no longer trading the question of whether there is demand for AI—it’s trading this instead: When will AI orders truly turn into cash flow and profits?
📊 I. AI demand is real, but the investment is huge
Oracle’s operating cash flow this quarter was about $23.1B, but capital expenditures were $28.5B. Free cash flow was roughly -$5.4B. At the same time, the company raised about $19.9B through an ATM program.
This suggests the AI cloud battle is entering a phase of “heavy reinvestment.” There are plenty of orders, but that doesn’t mean profits will show up immediately.
⚠️ II. What does this mean for AI in crypto?
I won’t conclude the AI track is over just because ORCL is down 60%. But it at least reminds us:
If a tech giant with real customers, real revenue, and $66.4B in RPO starts facing market tests of capital expenditures and cash flow, then AI tokens in crypto—especially those with high FDV but lacking real protocol revenue—also need to face equally brutal valuation scrutiny.
For the future of AI/DePIN, I care more about: real users, real compute demand, and real protocol revenue. Not just looking at the two words “AI.”
💡 III. My trading thesis
The long-term AI trend hasn’t ended, but the market may be shifting from “telling stories” to “looking for realization.” So I’ll focus on:
1. ORCL: whether AI cloud revenue can keep growing at a high speed, and when capex will translate into cash flow; 2. Crypto AI: whether the project truly has a real revenue loop; 3. BTC: whether, after macro liquidity is drained, funds continue to concentrate in large-cap defensive assets.
🔥 My core view
AI isn’t over, but the pure AI narrative is undergoing cash-flow validation.
$GOOGL has already taken profit at 363, and then it dropped again. I’m currently staying in cash and waiting patiently for the next high-quality entry signal.#AI股持续上涨还有哪些投资机会 #比特币突破8.7万美元创八个月新高

🔥 Tonight 02:00 Fed decision! Rate hikes could dip first then rise; an unexpected hold could lead to a big surge. Where will $BTC go tonight? #美联储加息是否已成定局
At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on September 17, the Fed will release its interest rate decision and the dot plot, with speeches by Warsh at 2:30. Currently the market is pricing in a 25bp rate hike of about 92%—93%, with the target rate expected to rise to around 3.75%—4.00%. So I think the hike itself has already been largely priced in by the market. In the past stretch, PPI has been stronger than expected, core CPI came in above forecasts, oil prices are up, and U.S. Treasury yields have been at high levels. On top of that, yesterday’s CLARITY Act procedural vote failed to move forward, and the market has been continuously digesting negative news. So tonight I’m mainly watching two scenarios. First: Hike 25bp as expected. I actually think BTC’s first move could be a drop. If the dot plot doesn’t show a clearly more hawkish surprise, after the market completes the emotional release, it may return to trading the idea of “is this the last hike?”, and combined with Warsh’s remarks not further strengthening hawkish expectations, BTC could rebound. Second: Unexpectedly no rate hike. Since the market has already priced in a 92%—93% chance of a hike, the biggest change would be the “expectations gap.” If the market believes inflation pressure is easing and policy will turn more accommodative in the future, BTC and U.S. stocks could rally quickly. But if the market interprets “no hike” as new risks appearing in the economy or financial markets, it could also see a first wave of sharp volatility. So tonight you can’t only look at whether there is a hike—what really matters is: What the dot plot says, and what Warsh says. My trading plan: A small-position long can continue to be observed, but I don’t plan to add heavily before the decision. If BTC sharply drops after a hike as expected, I would rather wait for an opportunity. What I’d like to see is: Sharp drop → longs get liquidated and releases pressure → price stops falling → second retest holds and doesn’t break → OI stabilizes. Once this kind of structure appears, then consider adding on the right-side. If price keeps making new lows while OI rises again, I won’t just blindly buy the dip just because it has fallen a lot. My core view: The 25bp hike has already been priced in. What hasn’t been fully priced tonight is the dot plot and Warsh’s remarks. So I’m more focused on whether, after the negative news is “priced in,” there’s still fresh selling pressure. How do you think BTC will move tonight?
🚨 CLARITY Act vote is coming soon! A regulatory boost—why could $BTC actually drop first and then rise? The U.S. Senate will hold its first procedural vote on the CLARITY Act, but there is still uncertainty. In the latest version, Republicans have added limits on encrypted financial interests for public officials, and require certain major encrypted interests to be sold off or placed into blind trusts; Democrats believe the measures are still not strong enough, especially regarding the encrypted interests of Trump and his family. So what traders see tonight is not just a “regulatory positive,” but also a political standoff between the two parties. I believe the truly important part of CLARITY is that it could gradually move the U.S. crypto market from “regulatory uncertainty” toward “clear rules.” In the past, institutions didn’t want in—rather, they were worried about unclear asset classification, regulatory jurisdiction, and compliance responsibilities. If the bill ultimately passes, top assets like BTC, $ETH will likely be the first to benefit, and only afterward might the impact spread to $SOL , RWA, stablecoins, and DeFi. But I don’t think it’s a case of “all coins going up together.” On the contrary, I think it may push the crypto market further toward being “like U.S. equities”: capital will increasingly prioritize compliance, real businesses, revenue, and network effects; projects without real businesses—only story-driven speculation—may find it harder and harder to attract liquidity. So the clearer the regulation becomes, the more the market may diversify. Now, let’s talk trading. I won’t front-load a heavy position just because of the vote expectation, and I won’t chase after the first big bullish candle when the news hits. Major policy announcements often follow a pattern: positive news released → rapid rally → profit-taking → short-term pullback. So I focus more on how capital behaves after the news. If BTC rises while OI (open interest) increases rapidly, then subsequently spikes and falls, I’ll be wary of chasing. If, after the first wave of the move ends, the price retests and does not break key levels—and once OI cools off and then stabilizes again—I’ll consider taking a right-side long. My core view is: If CLARITY ultimately lands, the real benefit won’t be “how much it pumps tonight,” but rather that regulatory barriers for U.S. institutions entering the crypto market may further decrease. Capital may concentrate in leading assets and real businesses, while weaker fundamentals and “shady” altcoins could diverge even more. So I care more about “who can absorb institutional capital” rather than “which coin will pump fastest tonight.” How do you think this CLARITY vote will affect the market?
PPI is stronger than expected plus Non-Farm Payrolls beat! Will tonight’s CPI push September rate-hike expectations even higher? Could BTC fall again for a second time? #CPI数据来袭能否触发9月加息 Recently, $BTC and $ETH have continued to weaken. Many people only see a technical breakdown, but I believe the real core issue is that market expectations for Fed interest rates have changed again. In August, Non-Farm Payrolls added 162,000 jobs, which is clearly above the market’s prior expectations. In August, PPI rose 5.4% year over year. Although that meets market expectations, some sub-items like energy and transportation are stronger than expected, which makes the market wary of inflation again. After the PPI release, the market’s expectations for a Fed rate hike in September heated up noticeably, once approaching 70%. So what’s worth focusing on now isn’t “why BTC suddenly fell,” but rather the U.S. August CPI to be released at 20:30 tonight. Current market expectations: CPI m/m +0.4%, y/y +3.4% Core CPI m/m +0.2%, y/y +2.4% I think core CPI is more important than simply looking at CPI year-over-year. If core CPI comes in significantly higher than expected, it could increase the probability of a September rate hike. Treasury yields and the dollar could strengthen, and BTC and ETH may still face downward pressure in the short term. On the other hand, if CPI is below expectations, the probability of a rate hike would drop, and expectations for improved liquidity would strengthen. In that case, BTC could see a quick rebound. But there’s an easy-to-overlook issue here: Higher CPI doesn’t necessarily mean the Fed will definitely hike rates; lower CPI doesn’t necessarily mean rate cuts are coming immediately. What truly affects BTC is the market’s repricing of future interest rates and liquidity. On the trading side, I don’t recommend betting on the data in advance. If the data comes out and BTC plunges immediately, I won’t rush in to buy the dip right away. What I’d prefer to see is: sharp selloff → rebound → second pullback that doesn’t break the previous low → OI starts to stabilize. Once that kind of structure appears, then consider going long from the right-hand side. If the price keeps making new lows while OI increases again, it suggests fresh short capital may have entered again. In that case, don’t catch the falling knife just because “it has already dropped a lot.” So tonight, I’ll mainly watch four things: The actual CPI number; 10-year Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar index; the rebound strength after BTC’s first drop; OI and long/short liquidation data. My personal view: Short-term risk is still somewhat bearish, but what’s most taboo now is seeing a big drop and rushing to buy the dip, or seeing the first bearish candle and chasing shorts immediately—better to wait for the market to show the direction. What do you think about tonight’s CPI?
🚀 $AAPL 9 September 9 Press Conference: Can a Foldable iPhone Bring a Second Growth Curve? On September 9, Apple held its autumn event. Besides watching for new iPhones, the market has also been eagerly anticipating the long-rumored first foldable iPhone. My view: The new product is a catalyst, but what truly determines AAPL’s future upside is whether Apple can re-open growth. 📱 Foldable iPhone If it launches, it could increase the share of high-end models and the average selling price, and also spur some existing users to upgrade. But Huawei, Xiaomi, and others have already laid the groundwork in advance. So the key isn’t whether there is a foldable display—it’s whether Apple can turn it into a new, high-profit growth driver. 💰 Supply chain costs Demand from AI data centers is driving up memory and storage prices, which will also increase Apple’s costs. Raising prices could hurt sales; not raising prices could compress profit margins. So AAPL faces: Sales vs. profit margin 🌏 The supply chain is also changing Apple is pushing for supply chain diversification and seeking more suppliers. Adding suppliers is beneficial for bargaining power, but certification, yield, and stability still need to be validated. 🤖 The biggest long-term variable: AI Tim Cook has moved to become Chairman, and John Ternus has taken over as CEO. What the market truly expects isn’t just a few more AI features, but: AI + chip + system + hardware + services whether it can form a complete ecosystem. If AI truly drives upgrades and service growth, Apple could gain a new valuation logic. 📊 On the trade, I care most about three things: After the event, will the stock price keep rising or spike and then pull back? Can the new products raise ASP and profit margins? Can AI become a new growth engine? So: Positive catalysts landing doesn’t necessarily mean the stock will definitely rise. If the new products exceed expectations, AAPL could open up fresh upside imagination; if they merely meet expectations—while costs rise and AI still falls short of expectations—you also need to be wary of the good news being priced in. 🔥 What do you think? A: Foldable iPhone + AI unlocks a second growth curve B: The new products have already been fully priced in; supply chain and AI risks are higher C: Wait until after the event to decide Feel free to comment A/B/C + your target price for AAPL!
🚨 Nonfarm payrolls far exceeded expectations! $BTC fell 2.3% in 15 minutes, $ETH fell 3.7%: a buying opportunity or further decline? Tonight at 20:30, the U.S. August nonfarm payrolls were released: Employment increased by 162,000, far above the expected 55,000; unemployment rate was 4.1%; average hourly earnings rose 3.1% year over year. More importantly, July employment was revised up from a decrease of 23,000 to an increase of 21,000. After the data was released, BTC and ETH fell rapidly. Why did BTC fall when employment was strong? Because the core of market trading is not whether the economy is good or bad, but when the Federal Reserve will cut rates. Strong nonfarm payrolls → Economic resilience strengthens → Rate-cut expectations cool → U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar strengthen → BTC/ETH come under pressure. So tonight BTC is not falling because of “good employment,” but because: Easy liquidity may be delayed. 📉 Why did ETH fall harder than BTC? ETH is a higher-beta risk asset. When macro risk rises, funds often leave high-volatility assets first; combined with leveraged liquidations, the decline can easily be magnified. ⚠️ But a strong nonfarm report does not mean a mid-term bear market is confirmed. Next up are: September 10 PPI September 11 CPI If inflation continues to decline, room for rate cuts still exists; if “strong employment + high inflation” appear at the same time, high interest rates may persist longer. 🎯 In trading, I pay more attention to price + OI + liquidations. Price drops + OI falls + long liquidations dominate: this may be long de-leveraging, and a rebound opportunity may follow. Price drops + OI rises + continued new lows: this suggests shorts may keep entering, so don’t blindly buy the dip. My core view: The first sharp drop is not necessarily a buy point. What really matters is: sharp drop → rebound → second retest fails to break the prior low → higher low. If that structure forms, then consider going long. If price breaks tonight’s low and continues making new lows, the risk may not be fully released yet. 🔥 What do you think?
Feel free to leave A/B/C + BTC key support levels.
