10-year US Treasury yields above 5%—why is this a “fatal blow” to memory stocks?

Many people don't understand what an upside surprise in US CPI has to do with Japanese and South Korean memory stocks plunging. They're half a world apart. Today, I'll lay out the transmission chain clearly for you.

Step 1: CPI upside surprise → rate-hike expectations heat up. On October 14, the US released its September CPI data, with headline CPI up 3.7% year-on-year and core CPI up 2.6% year-on-year, both fully exceeding market expectations. The market-implied probability of an October rate hike surged over

If you can't hold, go work in a factory; if you can't hold, go to prison!
FiL production cut by 50%, unlocking completed, cumulative supply reduced by 77%
A hard-fork upgrade will take place on October 19.
Absolutely bullish news. I boldly predict that those who sell below $3 will most likely be selling halfway up!

🔴 Strategy (MSTR) could be excluded from major MSCI indices (such as the MSCI USA, MSCI World, or MSCI ACWI) starting in late November 2026.
MSCI is one of the largest index providers in the world. Thousands of billions of dollars are invested in funds that automatically track these indices. If a stock is removed, these funds are required to sell it.
This is not yet certain: MSCI has introduced “buffers” to limit abrupt changes. A company already in the index, such as Strategy, will only be removed if it fails to meet the new criteria for two consecutive years. The final list of affected secu

This move is pushing from 0.1397 toward 0.1418, up more than 13% over the past 7 days, while open interest is piling up as longs keep adding and driving it higher🚀 The wildest part is that shorts are effectively paying to stay in, having to hold on while funding remains negative. The pressure isn’t a bad thing—it’s an early-entry position. Break through 0.1418 and jump aboard.

Range-bound SKHYNIX is about to break out and most traders are positioned the wrong way.

Trade Plan:
Entry: 971.37 – 978.79
SL: 1010.69
TP1: 948.37
TP2: 930.56
TP3: 903.85

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range, but the 1h ATR of 14.839521 signals a squeeze is building inside that range. The 15m RSI at 58.85 shows momentum is not yet exhausted, so a short entry near 975.08 is valid as long as we stay below 978.79. TP1 at 948.37 and TP2 at 930.56 define the first two targets on the path down, while the invalidation level of 1156.63 is the hard line that w

Many people see the funding rate turn positive and MACD turn green and automatically assume “the bulls are back,” then chase in with oversized positions—this is the most common position-sizing mistake: treating indicator direction as an entry signal while ignoring the moving-average structure and volatility levels. $BERA is a textbook example of this trap.
First, the structure: current price 0.2284, MA5=0.2311 remains below MA20=0.231595, and the short-term moving average has not crossed above, meaning the bearish alignment has yet to be repaired; RSI=47.3 is stuck in the neutral-to-weak zone

Trade is actually an old script. In the 1980s, Japan’s economy was at its peak, with GDP reaching nearly 70% of the United States’, while its semiconductor industry was putting immense pressure on the US. Japan also wanted to improve relations with China and bring China in to counterbalance the US. What happened? The US launched a combination of measures: the 1985 Plaza Accord forced the yen to appreciate; the 1986 US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement forced Japan to open its market and restricted its exports; and the constraints of the US-Japan security alliance kept Japan firmly in line. From th

“Black Monday” for the storage sector—Micron falls below $1,000: What exactly happened?
On October 13, the U.S. storage sector experienced a textbook-style mass sell-off. Micron Technology closed down 3.88%, falling below the $1,000 per-share mark to close at $989.04, nearly 20% below its June record closing high and nearing technical bear market territory. SanDisk fell 5.97%, Western Digital dropped more than 6%, Seagate Technology fell 6.97%, and SK Hynix’s U.S. shares declined more than 5%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 2.67% at 12,236.79 points.‌

Gold is finally dropping the act. As soon as PPI heats up, it runs faster than anything else. For example, in one U.S. PPI release, the year-over-year increase came in above expectations, core PPI also rose month over month, and the energy and transportation services components heated up together. Less than half an hour after the data came out, spot gold shot straight up from the intraday low, quickly expanding its gain to more than 1%, while COMEX gold futures volume suddenly surged. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index weakened, the 10-year Treasury yield fell, and as real rates eased, it

$BERA Current price 0.2275, 24h -5.88%, trading volume only 5.6M USDT, MA5 at 0.23092 has crossed below MA20 at 0.23155, RSI at 46.6 is weak, the MACD histogram at -2.941e-05 remains bearish, and the Bollinger Bands are [0.214696, 0.248404], with the 30-candle amplitude at approximately 17.58%. The funding rate is -0.0001%, with bears slightly dominant but not at an extreme, and the Fear & Greed Index is neutral at 53—this is a typical low-volume, gradual decline structure rather than panic selling, meaning downside may open slowly instead of being released all at once.
