"Grand Strategy: US & HK Stock Short-Term Trading Room" - Has the AI Computing Power Super Bull Market Entered Phase Two? | Are There Better Tools for Deploying SK Hynix at the Bottom?

I. Hong Kong Stock Market: "July Reversal" or Exceeded-Expectation Rebound?
The unexpected arrival of the "July Reversal" rally: At a time when the market held the least hope, and even investors had forgotten about it, the Hong Kong stock market broke through the 50-day moving average in July, a rare performance. This was mainly because other Asian regions (such as the Korean stock market) experienced a sharp drop, and funds fled from there and flowed back into the lower-valued Hong Kong stocks.

Market sentiment and retail investor mentality: Although the rebound has returned to the level of around 25,000 points in mid-June, many investors who endured hardship in the earlier period said they would choose to exit as long as the price rebounded to their purchase price. Recently, there have been multiple instances of early-session rallies followed by late-session declines (e.g., July 8-13). This volatility reflects the market's worry and distrust of the 24,500-point resistance level.

Four predictions for the future trend of Hong Kong stocks:

Head and Shoulders Bottom (most ideal, relatively optimistic): Consolidate and gain support within the 24,000 to 24,400-point range before rebounding again. If it can stabilize above 25,000 points, it can confirm this year's bottom is around 22,500 points.

W Bottom / Double Bottom (relatively conservative): If it falls below the current consolidation zone, it is hoped to test and hold near 22,000 points, forming a double bottom.

Direct Breakthrough (lowest probability): Lacking fundamental catalysts, the probability of a direct continuous surge is very small. It is not recommended for investors to chase high at this time.

Another Bottom Break (worst-case scenario): Falls below the consolidation zone and fails to stop the decline, even creating new lows.

II. U.S. Tech Stocks and Semiconductors: Cash-out and Correction Risks Under High Valuations
TSMC (TSM): Despite a gross margin as high as 67.7% in the second quarter and raising full-year revenue growth expectations (to 40%) and capital expenditure (increased to $64 billion), due to market expectations having been fully digested earlier (Forward PE at a normally high level), the stock price experienced a "Sell the News" adjustment after the earnings release.

SK Hynix (000660 / ADR):

ADR Premium Issue: Currently, the U.S. ADL has a premium of up to 30% to 42% compared to the Korean underlying stock. Operationally, it is recommended to wait for the premium to narrow to below 20% before considering entry. At the same time, it is not recommended to hold ETFs that double the long position of such underlying stocks for the long term, as the repeated consumption caused by daily resets will lead to medium- to long-term losses.

Options Deployment: The implied volatility (IV) for options expiring in December is currently around 100. Buying put options (Long Put) is not cost-effective due to high premiums. Investors holding the underlying stock can conduct Cover Call operations; if not holding the underlying, doing Short Call near the pressure level in the downtrend channel can earn high time value, but strict stop-loss must be set to guard against a sharp stock price surge.

Micron (MU): Currently showing a pattern similar to a head and shoulders bottom and has fallen below the 50-day moving average (MA50 around $923). If it further falls below $860, this bearish pattern will be officially established. It is recommended for investors with heavy positions to moderately reduce holdings; it is not recommended to add positions too frequently while in a loss state. If adding positions, it is recommended to wait for a drop of more than 20% (e.g., to around $780 near the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement) before considering.

NVIDIA (NVDA) and AMD:

NVIDIA (NVDA): Rebounded after gaining support near the 150-day and 200-day moving averages. The stock price is currently in range-bound volatility, and implied volatility has dropped to a relatively stable level of 30–40. It is recommended to appropriately reduce holdings and control risk before the earnings release.

AMD: The trend is more volatile, with excessive gains previously, facing recent correction pressure. Although it pulled back yesterday after falling below the 20-day moving average, as the 50-day moving average approaches, adjustment risks remain. Investors with heavy positions may consider reducing holdings on rallies.

Tesla (TSLA): The stock price is currently oscillating repeatedly in a downtrend channel, and the 50-day moving average has been consolidating sideways. Before breaking through the downtrend channel, it is only suitable for range-bound operations to earn option premiums, while also needing to guard against the risk of being dragged down by the broader market.

III. Index and Sector Analysis
Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX): A Diamond Pattern has appeared on the daily chart. This is usually a signal of a top reversal. Once it falls below the lower boundary of the diamond pattern, a relatively large adjustment may follow. Tech stock risks are high in the short term; adding leverage is not recommended.

S&P 500 Index (SPX): Shows a Rising Wedge pattern. The resistance level is near 7,700 points. Unless it can break through strongly with a large bullish candle, it usually indicates a subsequent risk of adjustment to 7,250 to 7,300 points.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI): The trend is relatively strong. Bulls can continue to hold until it falls below the 20-day moving average, showing a reversal signal, before reducing holdings.

CRO (Contract Research Organization) Sector: Strong rebound recently. Market rumors say the price of experimental monkeys (such as rhesus monkeys, crab-eating macaques) required for preclinical trials has soared due to increased R&D demand (reaching 200,000 each). Some CRO companies have profited from the fair value revaluation of the monkeys they hold, becoming a catalyst for market speculation. However, this sector belongs to a laggard stock, ground-hugging rebound, making operations difficult. It is recommended to wait for its consolidation to complete or focus on leading stocks that can hit new highs.

IV. Hong Kong Individual Stock Pattern Scan
Tencent Holdings (0700): Shows a relatively solid double bottom (W bottom) pattern, belonging to a leading stock that bottomed out first. If it can consolidate here and break through the HK$485 resistance, the future market has the potential to attack HK$500.

Alibaba (9988): The pattern is similar to the Hang Seng Index, showing a V-shaped rebound, not stable enough in the short term. It is not recommended to blindly chase highs at this time, and one needs to guard against its historical stock characteristic of "significant correction after hitting a top".

Xiaomi Group (1810): The stock price has touched the 50-day moving average. It is necessary to closely monitor whether the market will see profit-taking or a continued strong breakout after the opening of the "Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Conference".
