The AAOI 2x Long ETF maintained its momentum alongside the sentiment in the AI optical module sector;

MAGS rose 2.6%, with the Magnificent Seven tech stocks generally moving higher;

The Circle 2x Long ETF was close to flat, as the stablecoin track lacked independent catalysts;

QQQI provides option premium income;

The Crown Holdings 2x Long ETF moved slightly.

These strategy ETFs were on different narrative tracks today, generally following thematic fluctuations.

$Pro Ultrshrt GLD(GLL.US) has been toyed with by gold again recently. With gold prices stubbornly high, the 2x leveraged short position only fell by 1.6%, making it incredibly hard to trade. Every time I see gold rising and impulsively buy GLL, I end up getting tossed back and forth. 😂

Zai Lab's commercialization and licensing model in China has seen multiple products included in the national reimbursement drug list (NRDL), with high visibility for revenue growth in 2026.

JD Health, a leader in internet healthcare, continues to see growth in monthly active users and online penetration of prescription drugs. Improved consumer sentiment post-ceasefire is beneficial for platform transaction volume.

Insilico Medicine is a globally representative company in AI-driven drug discovery, with pipeline progress being a short-term catalyst. Its latest funding round valued the company at over $600 million, and it is currently in a window of valuation re-rating as it transitions from an AI tool provider to a clinical-stage pipeline company.

$3SBIO(01530.HK) This recent wave has been moving a bit sluggishly. -0.47% isn't a lot, but it's not nothing either. However, this kind of slow, steady decline is even more of a headache... The pharmaceutical sector was thought to have exhausted its negative news and could recover, but it's still dragging its feet like this.

Copper, aluminum, gold, silver, and antimony are all taking off together. Looking at the gains of Freeport, Century Aluminum, Harmony Gold, it feels like everyone holding mining stocks is also taking off—originally I was thinking of looking for opportunities on dips, but the main uptrend wave went straight to the ceiling 😎😎

$Freeport Mcmoran(FCX.US) $Century Aluminum(CENX.US) $US Antimony(UAMY.US)

$TTM Tech(TTMI.US) Today's move was really a blow. I was quite optimistic about it, but it ended up dropping 7% directly. Watching my account turn green is a bit speechless. In contrast, $Turbo Energy SA(TURB.US) actually surged 12%. Is the new energy sector becoming active again these two days? I don't dare to touch small-cap stocks. There's the unwillingness to miss out, but also the fear of being cut if I chase in. Even though the market is rising now, I can't feel happy. It's a typical state of internal friction. 😰

The fintech sector is really getting hammered: PayPal with a big bearish candle almost -9%, PayPay also directly down -7% in one go, Interactive Brokers couldn't hold on and followed down, Goldman Sachs is holding up slightly better, and American Express is relatively stable.

Now holding PayPal, my conviction is wavering again, I really don't know if anyone still believes in a spring for these US stock fintech leaders 😥

Today, the chip sector and consumer spending couldn't get a boost. GigaDevice was down 7%, Mixue Group also saw a major crash, and Zijin Mining was also sluggish. It feels like the market is a reflection of involution and liquidity drain. Nationz Technology did rise a little bit, but it can't save the overall mood.

Lately, it's been like riding a roller coaster every day. Having a lighter position can still dodge some bullets. Brothers holding heavy positions, keep your mindset steady. Let's all be a bit more zen together 😸

Recently, I've been keeping an eye on $Rigetti Computing(RGTI.US) and $Quantum Computing(QUBT.US) again. One dropped a bit today, the other is just lukewarm. The quantum computing sector has always been quite advanced, the theme is cool enough, but how to put it... the fundamentals are still on the weak side. Occasionally, it surges up a bit and then immediately gives back the gains.

To be honest, these niche tech stocks are now just for a small position to seek some excitement. Operating with a large position would really be too much for the heart to handle.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to wait with a small position. If there's really a big market move and it can be hyped up, we can still compete on speed then. For now, just slowly grind it out and observe 😸

The Hong Kong stock market is now a tale of two extremes. Mixue Group is exploding directly, this wave of beverages really gives a bull market feeling. However, cyclical stocks like oil services, such as BQE Petroleum Services, fell nearly 10% in a single day, not even enough time to cut losses.

Those two in new energy and biotech (Goldwind Science & Technology, Giant Biogene), seem to have no presence, just floating along passively.

RoboSense pulled up a bit, the smart vehicle track still has some popularity.

Now, we can only watch and choose, continue to endure...

The theme of state-owned enterprise (SOE) consolidation is becoming increasingly clear in the Hong Kong stock market 🚢

Expectations for asset consolidation within the COSCO Shipping Group are strong, with historical premiums for central SOE mergers reaching 20-30%.

The logic for Shanghai Electric's equipment manufacturing consolidation exists, and its low regulatory risk is actually an advantage.

The possibility of privatization for COFCO Packaging's consumer packaging segment is worth watching.

Overall, it is recommended to participate via the underlying shares; options lack sufficient liquidity. Watch for signals during the 90-day policy window period for central SOE mergers.

This wave of crypto concepts has given us a bit of hope again: Coinbase and Galaxy Digital are up across the board, and Bitdeer surged nearly 10%. However, Marathon is still in the red, and the mining sector has indeed been a bit weak lately.

That's just how the crypto circle is, full of ups and downs. Many people just cut their losses yesterday, and today they see a big bullish candlestick. It's really not a worry-free business. Those holding positions should keep holding on, and those who missed out shouldn't be too upset. This market can always pull off some new tricks at any time.

Today's performance of these few stocks is a bit dramatic: Citigroup and Marvell Technology took turns "picking up passengers by reversing," and there hasn't been much chance to catch a breath since they were swapped into the portfolio; Xunlei actually surged nearly 9% in a single day—who hasn't held it for a couple of days at low levels, fantasizing about it taking off, but reality, you know; as for Regencell and Intuit, they've been lukewarm, with no major moves.

In this current market, it really feels like we're exercising our mindset and patience every day. Can't bear to cut losses, afraid to add more positions and get buried, going back and forth, thinking it's better to wait a bit first.

The recent trend of mining stocks remains as perplexing as ever. It's already considered good that NioCorp managed to turn slightly green. Small-cap stocks like Nova and Murano rely entirely on hype, rising for one day and falling for three.

I'm just watching passively, not really trusting anyone. If I can't hold on, I'll cut my losses. Those who are holding can only console themselves.

U.S. bank stocks were stagnant again today: Citigroup and JP Morgan had no significant movement. Looking down at my account, I'm starting to wonder if I was watching the wrong market...

The new energy sector is also dragging its feet, with Vistra and New Era Energy continuing their downward slide.

However, $American Resources(AREC.US) suddenly spiked, +5% leaving me completely confused. I genuinely can't understand this kind of movement in resource stocks. It feels like I'm just picking up shells on the beach, and the bull market will never come to me 😥

Honestly, watching the movements of these major banks today really leaves me feeling indifferent. The dividends are okay, but the stock price fluctuates so little day by day, and it's been stuck in the doldrums for long enough. The saying "it's better to buy bank stocks than to deposit money in the bank" is a bit embarrassing now. Holding them is just for peace of mind. With every little stir in the real estate sector, the banks go up and down along with it, making it quite hard to profit from the volatility. Seriously, I feel like just lying flat and slacking off. Who doesn't have some big financial stocks as their core holdings? — Just let it be 😰

A bunch of energy stocks are moving together. Recently, the market hasn't been making much sense with oil prices. $Chevron(CVX.US) can still bounce up a bit, while $Occidental Petroleum(OXY.US) and $Petroleo Brasileiro SA(PBR.US) are still half-dead; holding them is quite nerve-wracking. With the slightest movement in oil prices, the market swings up and down. Looking at the medium to long term, the odds aren't great, and short-term trading is exhausting. Forget it, just treat them as dividend machines and watch. With oil and gas, making big money really depends on luck.

The AI concept is another roller coaster ride. $C3.AI(AI.US) actually surged today, while the other smaller players were basically flat. It feels helpless, like the big brother is leading but the little brothers can't keep up... $Quantum Computing(QUBT.US) dropped 10% in just one day, that's brutal. Ordinary people really can't handle this kind of play. Sectors like AI and quantum computing, I can only say, involve too much gambling. My mindset is quite zen now, occasionally watching the excitement, truly dare not go heavy. Picking stocks is like picking your fate, but don't bet your life on it. Take care, everyone~

Watching $MNSO(09896.HK), $CHERY AUTO(09973.HK), $MONTAGE TECH(06809.HK), and $LI AUTO-W(02015.HK) all lie flat together today, it's really hard to hold back my emotions. The drop is truly generous. I thought the semiconductor and auto sectors could hold up, but they ended up getting a harsh lesson. It feels like the capital isn't giving any face at all, and external factors aren't helping either. Looking at the tech growth line just makes me feel more and more uneasy. Now I just want to say: keep some base positions and watch the show with a Zen attitude. If you panic and reduce your position, your heart will turn cold. Does Hong Kong stocks really only have prayers left?

AI theme stocks really have a new story every day, haha! $Synopsys(SNPS.US) had explosive earnings, but then it crashed hard. Even buybacks couldn't save it. Is the chip sector just too competitive? $Palo Alto Networks(PANW.US), $CloudFlare(NET.US) — these cybersecurity stocks finally got a breather today. They were dropping so much recently it made you question life. Now with a slight recovery, I don't dare get too greedy.

$ServiceNow(NOW.US), $Snowflake(SNOW.US) — these AI-powered IT automation and data platform companies have stable earnings and good expectations. It's just short-term sentiment killing the mood. Hard to short long-term, but the pace is really grinding...

In the end, missing out on the AI rally hurts, but being all-in risks getting trapped. It's a daily mental drain...

From a short-term perspective, the volatility of rare earth concept stocks like USAR is really intense. Whenever news related to critical mineral security, military magnetic materials, or EV supply chains emerges, funds will rush in during trading hours. Recently, market discussions about the US's domestic rare earth processing capacity have heated up, naturally driving up this stock. However, it's important to note that the company is still in the development and advancement stage, and its profitability has not been fully realized. For short-term trading, you can follow the trend, but you must set a stop-loss. Don't mistake a policy-driven concept for a stable cash flow business. When trading this stock, you must adopt a quick-in, quick-out mentality.$USA Rare Earth(USAR.US)

Zijin Mining's drop over the past two days has been a bit absurd. Gold prices just plunged without warning. The A-share market can still hold up, but the Hong Kong market got hammered directly. Although investment banks are still talking it up, after this wave of volatility, I'm feeling a bit mentally drained. Even if the holdings in hand are based on conviction, they can't withstand the market being so turbulent. Hesai Technology just got included in the MSCI index and opened high, but then followed with an adjustment… Even positive news gets digested into volatility. The new energy and autonomous driving concepts are changing day by day now, and actual trading is getting more and more confusing. Kind of want to put the phone down and pretend nothing's happening to the account...

This wave of clean energy is really making me envious. The gains of CEG and GEV have really rubbed salt in the wound for an old bagholder like me who got off the ride too early. I previously kept only a small position in NEE due to insider selling, and now the entire sector is rallying, leaving me on the sidelines, going in circles. Even old-guard energy companies like VST and CEG are rejuvenated, and the AI smart grid concept has ignited GEV. Looking back, GE Aerospace has instead stalled. Should I adjust my positions, or wait a bit longer? The more I hesitate, the more passive I become. The market always makes people both greedy and timid.

Recently, semiconductor and tech stocks have been a complete mess, with the market sentiment being ridiculously emotional. Short positions on AMD like AMDD are actually performing better than long positions, while AMUU has been plummeting for several consecutive days, causing leveraged long positions to see their blood pressure spike. META also seems to be in a state of emotional turmoil, with high volatility—up one day and down the next three. On the other hand, TSMX, the 2x long ETF on TSMC, has been resilient against the trend, giving off a real "boss among bosses" vibe. In this kind of volatile market, it's really hard to decide whether to go all in or just chill and wait for an opportunity.

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 "strong buy" 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.
