The Night PPI Went Through the Roof—When a 6.3% Year-on-Year Surge Shattered the Illusion That “Inflation Is Dead”
The most dangerous moment for markets is not when bad news is announced, but when everyone believes bad news will never come again. The October 15 PPI data delivered exactly that kind of blow.
At 20:30 Beijing time on October 15, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the September Producer Price Index. I stared at the figures on my screen for several seconds—the index was up 6.3% year on year. Expectations were 5.3%, while the previous reading was 5.6%. This was not a “slig

Everyone is chasing AI stocks, but have you looked at the companies that could actually power the AI revolution?
Take $OKLO for example. Sam Altman-backed nuclear reactors targeting the power demands of AI data centers.
This is not financial advice. It is never financial advice. Just something that's pretty damn interesting.

Trend: The long-term bullish trend remains intact, but there is a deep medium-term correction and extreme short-term oversold weakness. It has retraced -40% from the 6/22 high of $2,354, plunged -17% in 5 days, and is technically oversold (KDJ J value -1.98, RSI 32.3). A rebound is needed, but the trend has not reversed.
1.Cycle peak risk: The memory industry fears "buying at the top of the cycle" most. Earnings are accelerating quarter over quarter but may be nearing a turning point; if the 10/29 earnings report guidance weakens, the valuation (PE19) will instantly become expensive.

The “Bill” for Tariffs Is on the Way—Trade Policy Costs Exposed by PPI Data
Tariffs are not a free lunch. Someone will ultimately pay the cost—the question is only who pays and when.
Behind the 6.3% year-on-year rise in September PPI lies an easily overlooked but extremely important structural factor: the accelerated pass-through of tariff costs.
From “Businesses Absorb It” to “Consumers Bear It”
In the initial stages of tariff implementation, many businesses chose to absorb tariff costs by compressing their profit margins. But over time, this model is approaching its limits. The strong perfor

Following up on the previous post, I’ve attached screenshots—can’t make claims without evidence. I’ve gained some experience trading CDFs recently. Opportunities are always there; it’s not about the short term. Don’t expect to get rich overnight—build small wins into a big victory.

In this round of China-US trade tensions, African importers have been badly burned by traditional banks and intermediaries, with orders canceled and funds swallowed. Bypassing the chaos and connecting directly to payment channels in China, the US, and Europe is the real solution. What do you think?

10.15 BTC Review
It turned down around 81886, and after entering a short position, it followed the trend all the way down. The two targets at 81200 and 80700 were breached in succession, with the low reaching 79762, securing 2100 points.
This drop was decisive, leaving the bulls no chance to catch their breath.
A weak rebound is a signal—just enter in the direction of the trend and let the market handle the rest. $BTC #美国9月PPI大超预期

$SNDK Continue to be bearish; it could very likely fall into the 1200s. Be cautious about going long.🔥🔥
SanDisk’s problem is not just a technical breakdown; it also lies in the highly cyclical nature of the storage industry. As long as NAND prices, inventories, and capital expenditures have not bottomed, it will be difficult for the stock to truly stabilize.
I don’t think the current macro environment supports a rebound in storage stocks. Being able to defend 1300 would already be good. With rising rate-hike expectations and market concerns about AI, I think this time is completely different

#StrategyRepurchases369MSTRC
One detail in Strategy’s latest capital allocation caught my attention: between September 28 and October 11, the company reportedly spent $368.7 million buying back STRC, while adding only 584 BTC during the same period. That is a striking difference in how capital was deployed over two weeks.
I wouldn’t immediately interpret this as Strategy losing confidence in Bitcoin. The company is managing both its BTC treasury and the preferred securities that form part of its financing strategy. Those are connected decisions, but they serve different purposes. Bitcoin offe

After getting trapped in a position, many people keep waiting for a miracle, hoping one market move will take them straight back to break-even.
But the market will not accommodate your positions. Stubbornly holding on will only make the pressure on your positions heavier.
Getting unstuck is not about betting on a major market move to turn things around, but recognizing the current trend and planning in batches.
Distinguish between a rebound and a reversal. Reduce your position decisively when needed, and wait for the right level before redeploying.
Let go of the fixation on recovering your los

Guys, the “social security loan” is really here! Not a joke! If you consistently pay into social security, you can get a low-interest loan; at the branch, you can even attend a lecture and learn how to use your phone while you’re there—it feels like a huge win 🤯. Will people have to line up outside banks to collect eggs from now on? 🥚
