#TSMCQ2NetProfitSurges77%
TSMC just had a record-breaking quarter. But the stock dropped. That’s the whole story.
Q2 net income was a record-breaking $706.6 billion Taiwan dollars (around $22 billion), up 77.4% from the same period last year.
Revenue increased to $1.27 trillion Taiwan dollars (around $40.2 billion), and gross margin stood at 67.7%. These figures all surpassed analysts’ estimates. On paper, it was a perfect quarter, but after hours, the market decided to sell it. This is because the market wasn’t evaluating the past, it was anticipating future costs.
The Beat Was Already Pr

Wait for the yen to get “fed” by the US on exchange rates.
Once that’s about right, it’s time to start pushing the price up.

$BTC Testing a Critical Support Zone
Bitcoin has now reached one of the most important levels on the 4H chart — the MA200 around 62.8K. This level could decide the next major move.

3️⃣ Selling Pressure Increases ➡️ Bears stay in control
➡️ 60K, and potentially 58K, come back into focus.
