Last Friday, the U.S. stock AI sector rebounded as a whole, and the sentiment picked up significantly. As one of the core targets of the highly elastic AI narrative,$Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) $With a gain of more than 4% on the day, the share price is back above 190. This rebound is more reflected in the restoration of risk appetite and the return of funds at the sector level, rather than the new fundamental changes at the company level. In the context of highly crowded AI concepts and generally high valuations, such rebounds are often more likely to become a rise in sentiment in a volatile structure than the starting point of a new round of trend market.From the perspective of trend structure, PLTR has formed an obvious high and wide fluctua

Santa Claus, MSTR and the USD 85K Question: Can Bitcoin Avert a Festive Flop?
🌟🌟🌟Bitcoin is currently sliding down a slippery slope, trading around USD 86,522. It is down significantly from its peak in October. The Christmas lights are blinking red. The market is jittery. Can Bitcoin hold key support levels this week? Or is a painful drop to USD 70k on the cards? In the midst of this volatility, the boldest player in the field, $Strategy(MSTR)$ CEO Michael Saylor is doubling down. MSTR bought nearly USD 1 billion into Bitcoin for a 2nd consecutive week. MSTR is continuing to accumulate as prices pulled back. MSTR is betting the farm that this dip is just a speed bump on the road to glory. Bitcoin at a Crossroad: USD 85k or USD 70k? The USD

$SBSW 20260116 11.0 CALL$ I had shared this just week and again over the weekend. $Sibanye(SBSW)$ is not something that would ring a bell to most people. I had also shared it previously. I guess it has not caught on. After all, with most audiences in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong China are activated by AI, Tesla, Donald Trump, quantum computing and cryptocurrencies for so long, who can blame them? Lately, it took nearly a yearlong rally in precious metals group led by silver to get the audience to start paying attention to it. Participants are slowly moving in. Those who arrived earlier in the year are probably patting themselves for being an early mover. Yes a

$Sun Silver Ltd(SS1.AU)$ A new all time high for Sun Silver. Just managed to break its previous high with a 14+% increase today. The obvious reason is silver price breaking its all time high yet again this morning in Australian trading hours... finally, not a correction in Australian timezone after setting its new high at last Friday US closing. It's a worthwhile celebration. 🎉 I had shared Sun Silver a while back when it was making its early move. I had bought it some time ago when the price of silver was correcting. As a firm believer of silver strength in this cycle, I have explored more junior miners that I could diversify into. Sun Silver happens to be one of them.

🧭 When Liquidity Shifts, I Shift With It BOJ and deep dive
🧭 When Liquidity Shifts, I Shift With It $PLTR 20271217 280.0 PUT$ 💡 The recent fatigue in US technology stocks forces me to confront an uncomfortable truth: global liquidity is changing, and I believe the Bank of Japan is a key driver behind it. I no longer see this as panic risk like an August-style crash. Instead, I see an evolving macro transition—one that quietly reshapes how capital flows into growth portfolios and how I must position my capital as a value-focused investor. ⸻ 🏦 The BoJ Meeting Isn’t About the Hike — It’s About the Message 📉 Heading into the December 18–19 BoJ meeting, I note that markets have already priced in a 25bp hike. The uncertainty no longer lies in what the Bank of Japan will do, but in how

Are We About To See A Santa Rally To Power Year-End Gains?
We have a rough December start for stocks, but history shows the year-end period is historically a strong one for stocks, regardless of how they performed earlier in December. In this article, I would like to use a data-anchored, objective, and risk-aware assessment of whether a Santa Claus rally is still a reasonable expectation for late-December/early-January 2026 and what could possibly derail it: What the Historical Patterns Say Seasonal patterns show a historical tendency for year-end strength in stocks: The so-called Santa Claus Rally refers to the last five trading days of December + the first two of January. Historically, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has risen in this period about 70-75%+ of the time with average gains in the low-single-digit p
