Recently, Unisound could be good one moment and crash the next. The AI sector's volatility is too much for those with weak hearts. ZhongAn Online is also hard to describe, breaking support with high valuation, shaking some faith. In the tungsten sector, JiaXin soared like a rocket then plunged. The resource logic still holds, but one can't help suspecting it's just short-term speculation. Bank of China (Hong Kong) is rock solid, those who missed the boat dare not chase, those holding on struggle to keep holding. APT Satellite's &#34;strong buy&#34; signal was loud, but it still ended in the red, teaching the technical traders a lesson. The market is too emotional now, I still prefer to stay conservative and watch, less action.
