Will AI tech stocks rise or fall after tonight’s CPI release?
Regarding the CPI release, I’m more concerned about the stock market’s direction. Let’s look at it from another angle: Dongfang Harbor, the best-performing fund company in China in recent years, has gone all-in on the upstream semiconductor sector, computing hardware, memory, and optical communications.
Cloud providers’ AI capital expenditure guidance remains strong. I believe ordinary investors should buy $SMH and $DRAM on dips. Earnings realization in computing power, memory, and optical communications will continue to suppo

🧵 Once a Public Blockchain Worth Tens of Billions, Now Worth Less Than a Luxury Home—the Brutal Truth Behind Harmony’s Implosion
On August 12, news about Harmony (ONE) flooded social media—the attacker exploited an empty-block vulnerability and minted approximately 4 billion ONE without authorization, accounting for 26% of the current supply.
Approximately 2.8 billion ONE were then quickly transferred to exchanges and dumped, sending ONE’s price down by half at one point during the day.
At first glance, $4 billion in market capitalization evaporated and a top public blockchain suffered

$BTC CPI will be released tonight. Will September rate-hike pricing be rewritten?
The market is currently at a knife-edge, roughly 50-50 standoff over the probability of a Fed rate hike in September. A weaker nonfarm payrolls report briefly suppressed tightening expectations, but failed to dispel the Fed’s concerns about a rebound in inflation. Tonight’s CPI is the key variable for reshaping rate-hike pricing.
The Fed’s policy framework is very clear: Cooling employment can slow the pace of rate hikes, but as long as sticky inflation remains above target, the rate-hike option will not be comp

The U.S. labor market has delivered a major surprise, and the latest Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report is forcing traders to rethink the Federal Reserve’s next move. July payrolls unexpectedly fell by 23,000, while economists had been expecting a meaningful increase. Even more importantly, previous months were revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs, painting a much weaker picture of the labor market than earlier data suggested.
This was not the kind of jobs report markets were expecting. The unemployment rate actually edged down to 4.1%, but the headline payroll declin

Li Ge doesn’t rotate funds at all, so why have foreigners started rotating funds? It’s so disgusting—it’s made my head spin. Can everyone who’s rotating funds learn from Li Ge and stop rotating? You’ve rotated me to tears.
Just stick to trading the leaders properly.

Pay close attention to the release of the US July CPI data tonight, which will directly impact the Federal Reserve’s September interest rate decision.
The Federal Reserve uses CPI as an important basis for setting interest rate policy. If inflation remains high, the Fed tends to raise interest rates or maintain high rates to curb inflation; if inflation cools, it may cut rates or signal easing.
In summary, CPI data is a catalyst for volatility in the crypto market. Each data release is like a major exam, and the market will likely experience sharp fluctuations before and after tonight’s releas

💵 U.S. INFLATION DATA BECOMES THE BIG CRYPTO CATALYST
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is being released today, August 12. Bitcoin is trading under pressure around the $64,000 area as traders wait to see whether the inflation figures will change expectations for Federal Reserve policy.
Market Implication:
A cooler-than-expected CPI could strengthen expectations for lower interest rates and potentially boost Bitcoin and altcoins. A hotter reading could put additional pressure on risk assets.

$PI Two PhDs have spent more than a decade working in blockchain, striving to transform the old world and build a new one. Our gold medals are tickets to enter the new world. Do you think they are meant for you to speculate on? No, they are meant to be hoarded. As long as you do not speculate and only hoard them, you will inevitably become a new elite in the new world.

On the hourly timeframe, although gold is currently in a short-term consolidation range with intense competition between bulls and bears, all indicators are bullish. The moving averages are in a bullish alignment, and gold rebounded after pulling back to touch the 20MA. In the short term, the hourly price action is very likely to break above today’s high of $4,415 and test the resistance at $4,435.
In addition, July’s CPI data will be released at 8:30 p.m. tonight. This release can be described as crucial. Although CPI fell back to 3.5% last month, this figure remains far from Wash’s 2.0% targ
