0.00%07-02“The dip-buyers have queued for nine straight days, and every day someone thought they'd caught the knife — an RSI of 27 is a thermometer, not an entry signal; let it first prove it can print one decent doji before anyone talks about courage”
Technicals — Broke the $135 support and printed a fresh 52-week low at $131.35 intraday. All three moving averages cap the price (20-day $158, 50-day $182, 200-day $195), volume ran 1.49x on the decline, and the 7-day RSI is at an extreme 19 — deeply oversold, with zero basing structure.
Fundamentals — Two conflicting ledgers: FY26 Q4 revenue of $19.2B (+21%) beat, and backlog stands at $638B — yet capex hit $55.7B above guidance with ~$70B more planned for FY27, $32B of operating cash flow nets out to -$23.7B in free cash flow, and the company plans a $40B debt-plus-equity raise. The market has stopped paying for backlog and started asking where the money comes from.
News — Down 24% over nine sessions as the story flipped from 'king of AI backlog' to debt, cash-flow and ratings pressure, with several outlets noting Oracle losing narrative ground to cloud rivals. The next earnings print isn't until September — no official antidote in the near term.

Knife-catching is a numbers game, not a courage contest — every day of a nine-day slide looks like the bottom. With a catalyst vacuum (earnings in September) and the raise not yet done, the debt narrative has no rebuttal; oversold can bounce here, it can't reverse.

The $638B backlog and the AI-compute-rental model are real; the problem is purely capital structure. If the FY27 raise lands and a free-cash-flow inflection comes into view, today's price will have over-discounted the gloom.

0.00%07-04“On the way up everyone swore they owned the supercycle; on the way down they discovered they merely owned SK Hynix's beta — this is what happens when your position gets priced by someone else's earnings”
Technicals — A 12.6% one-day drop through the 50-day at $1,700, with the 20-day far overhead at $1,972. A 74% three-month run left profit-takers fully armed, and a $208 ATR makes 12% daily swings routine. Volume at just 1.09x — not panic but an orderly retreat, which is worse.
Fundamentals — One of the purest plays on NAND repricing — but NAND's supply-demand balance is looser than DRAM/HBM's, so the durability of price hikes is far more contested than Micron's. That cuts valuation elasticity both ways.
News — The most fragile link in the SK Hynix contagion chain: 'slower HBM4 shipments' got generalized into 'memory has topped,' and NAND took the first punch. Coverage flagged the memory trio (MU/SanDisk/WDC) all falling hard — SanDisk's 12.6% close was the deepest of the three.

Technicals — Broken below every moving average (20-day $499, 50-day $507, 200-day $536). The $440 level — April's platform rim — is the last technical defense. Volume ran 2.07x on the plunge and RSI at 38 isn't even oversold yet; don't rush to call bottoms.
Fundamentals — Q1 EPS of $3.56 on $1.84B revenue (+24%) — the AXON ad engine's profit machine isn't broken. This is a valuation purge, not an earnings problem; but BofA's third-party tracking flagged slower June e-commerce ad growth, which pokes precisely at the most expensively priced part of the story.
News — Monday's 12.65% drop came with zero company-specific catalyst — pure AI/software risk-off front-running; the five-day slide totals 18.6%. BofA calls the selloff 'overdone,' but money is clearly selling first and asking later.

Technicals — One month post-IPO there's little map beyond the 20-day at $163 (now resistance); the $136.78 all-time low sits one step below. Volume at 0.8x on the grind lower — no panic, just disappointment, and that kind of decline tends to outlast panic.
Fundamentals — Q1 revenue of $4.7B, Starlink past 10M subscribers, and ~$27.8B/yr of AI-compute contracts (Anthropic at $1.25B/mo, Google at $920M/mo through 2029) — the assets are scarce. But with only 3–5% of shares floating, today's price is set by supply-demand distortion, not fundamental discovery.
News — The fastest-ever Nasdaq-100 inclusion marked the sell-the-news top: passive funds were forced to absorb roughly $4.3B above $145, and the classic post-inclusion fade has since carved the stock down to $139 — below most of that passive cost basis.

Technicals — Broke the 20-day (HK$109.8) on 2.26x volume this morning, touching HK$104.3 at the low. RSI at 40 is neutral-weak, and the 52-week low at HK$84.2 is still 20% below — neither oversold nor supported.
Fundamentals — AI revenue crossed half the mix (52%) for the first time, yet profit didn't follow: Q1 net income fell 55.3% and search ads bled 28.6% — faster than AI can transfuse. Kunlunxin is the most valuable asset on the books (China's #2 AI-chip shipper), but the more the spin-off succeeds, the more concrete the hollowed-parent worry becomes.
News — Kunlunxin is running a dual-track IPO (confidential HKEX filing plus STAR-board tutoring) with bank valuations wildly split ($16B–$57B), and the bundling clause has raised channel-stuffing questions. Baidu led HS Tech lower this morning with fellow model-play Zhipu down 10% — the other face of the AI-asset repricing.

Technicals — Every average points down and price sits 29% below the 200-day; this morning's 2.8% uptick is an RSI-26 technical gasp on 0.8x volume — even the bounce drew no crowd. The 52-week low at HK$23.8 is a reminder of how much room remains below.
