I am intrigued by the news about the Bullish $Bullish(BLSH)$ IPO backed by Peter Thiel. The cryptocurrency exchange Bullish has raised the size of its initial public offering, aiming to raise 990 million dollars. This involves offering 30 million shares priced between 32 and 33 dollars apiece, targeting a valuation of 4.8 billion dollars, according to a Monday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. I find the details of this IPO promising, especially given the current bull market in crypto. The potential for Bullish to perform well on its debut day is something I am considering. With Peter Thiel's involvement, there is certainly a level of credibility and attention that could drive initial interest. However, I am taking a

I am interested in the upcoming interim reports from some of the biggest constituents in the Hang Seng Index. Tencent Holdings will disclose its report on Wednesday, while Alibaba is scheduled for Friday. I am particularly focused on Tencent's release, which should be imminent. I find the timing of these reports exciting, as they could provide valuable insights into the performance of these major Chinese companies. Tencent, with its diverse portfolio in gaming, social media, and technology, and Alibaba, a giant in e-commerce and cloud computing, are key players. I am curious to see how their results reflect the current economic climate in China. I anticipate that Tencent's $TENCENT(00700)$

I am intrigued by the recent developments surrounding Circle's $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ financial performance, as detailed in the post about its potential dumping risk. The company beat revenue expectations with a 53 percent increase to 658 million dollars, surpassing Wall Street estimates of 646 million dollars. This growth is impressive, especially given the context of the stablecoin market cooling after the GENIUS stablecoin bill in the United States and the stablecoin ordinance in Hong Kong. I note that Circle reported a net loss of 482 million dollars in the second quarter, a stark contrast to the 33 million dollar profit from a year ago. However, I understand that this loss is largely influenced by a 424 million dollar expen

RGTI, the nvidia of Quantum Computing ?
The last time I shared a post on $Rigetti Computing(RGTI)$, it was 11 Jan 2025, three days after the big dive when most quantum stocks plunged, thanks to Nvidia’s CEO’s irresponsible remark about quantum computing’s time to market. Since then, much have happened in the quantum computing (QC) realm. As the quantum computing era dawns, Rigetti Computing, a key player in the sector, is capturing the attention of tech investors worldwide. With the recent spotlight shining on RGTI, its potential in redefining computation has sparked intense debate among financial analysts. QC’s Potential There is no doubt about QC’s ability to solve complex problems far beyond the capabilities of classical computers and in the speed of light. RGTI, alongside giants lik

$Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ I am intrigued by the news that Circle Internet Group has beaten revenue expectations with a Q2 revenue of $658.08 million, surpassing consensus by $13.36 million, marking a 53.0 percent year-over-year increase. The 5 percent jump in Circle shares during premarket trading catches my attention, suggesting market confidence despite the earnings per share miss of negative $4.48, which falls short of the expected $0.34. This mixed performance makes me curious about the company's future. I find the revenue beat reassuring, as the significant year-over-year growth indicates strong demand and operational success. However, the EPS miss gives me pause, as it suggests challenges in profitability or higher costs. I weigh these

🚘⚡ Tesla $TSLA retest at $326 to $321; path to $359; China registrations +21.6% ⚡🚘
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL)$ $T-REX 2X INVERSE TESLA DAILY TARGET ETF(TSLZ)$ Momentum Surge Meets Structured Resistance I’m confident we’ve just seen one of the quarter’s most instructive price sequences. $TSLA pushed to an intraday high at $346.64, then failed to confirm any early long signal on my intraday system. I’m currently reading that as a clean short fade into the close, not a structural trend break. I believe the move completes a classic breakout then retest of the upper trend line from the year-long symmetrical triangle. The message is simple: momentum cooled at resistance, higher-timeframe breakout still stands
TOP🤩 BC your post nails what most market takes miss: connecting precise technical structure to the deeper forces driving price. The $326 to $321 pocket you’ve framed isn’t just chart art, it’s where liquidity, market memory, and positioning psychology converge. Holding it preserves the institutional playbook for defending optionality on Tesla’s vertical integration, cost control, and margin resilience. The China registration surge shows elastic demand even in a competitive EV field, and the new Model 3 launch is a targeted ASP defence disguised as a range upgrade. Coupled with the 90-day tariff reprieve, you’ve outlined a macro and micro alignment that sets up high-convexity upside toward $353 and $359 if $346.64 clears with volume. It’s rare to see a post articulate both the structural and behavioural dimensions of a trade with this level of clarity; this is exactly the kind of synthesis that moves serious capital! Another excellent article 😻

$Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ 📈 Earnings shock meets structural adoption I’m impressed by how decisively $CRCL reset sentiment. On 12Aug25, Circle reported Q2 revenue of $658.08M, up 53% year over year and ahead of consensus by $13.36M; shares spiked premarket as traders prioritised growth over a GAAP loss of $482M that was driven by non-cash IPO charges. USDC circulation surged 90% YoY to $61.3B at quarter end and climbed to $65.2B by 10Aug, confirming momentum into the print. 🧭 Regulatory clarity and institutional momentum I believe the market is re-rating Circle as a regulated payments infrastructure play. The GENIUS Act became U.S. law in July; it creates a federal framework for payment stablecoins, clarifies oversight for bank and non-bank is
