TL;DR

Bitcoin surged $5,000 in hours on massive ETF inflows; Solana, Ethereum, and AI stocks like Micron and Marvel all posted double-digit gains amid a broad crypto and semiconductor rally.

Key Insights

1

Every $1 billion adds 3%Bitcoin jumped $5,000 in hours on nearly $2 billion in ETF inflows — the creator estimates every $1 billion in adds drives roughly 3% price movement, and today's 6% gain tracks that math precisely.

2

Solana 200-day breakoutSolana hit its 200-day moving average at $82 after popping 7%, and with on-chain metrics near all-time highs, the creator calls this a potential bull market breakout if it holds above that level.

3

Burry's influence blocking mean reversionPalantir hasn't mean-reverted despite massive RSI spikes because Michael Burry's bearish Substack has enough followers to suppress the stock through coordinated shorting — a cautionary tale on crowd sentiment overpowering technicals.

4

Slowest recovery despite strong signalsTesla rose $14 today off a gradual recovery that started from its 340 low, with the creator noting this is the slowest bounce ever despite the clearest technical buy signals he's ever seen — the gap fill from 373 to 340 is now halfway closed.

5

Weak earnings beat vs peersBroadcom broke above its buy zone at 357 but the creator avoids it because earnings beat only 1.8% on EPS versus AI peers beating 15-20%, signaling earnings quality deterioration compared to Micron, Marvel, and Palantir.

6

Baidu buy signal after yearsBaidu just got a precursor buy signal on the 4-hour after years without one, and the creator expects it to reach $160 within a year from its current $90 entry price, banking on AI revenue growth offsetting flat advertising revenue.

Deep Dive

Bitcoin Explodes on Massive ETF Inflows

Bitcoin had the week's marquee move, rocketing from $62,000 on Sunday to $69,000 today — a $7,000 range with a $5,000 pop in just hours. The creator shows the tape with consecutive buy orders all the way up, indicating institutional buyers with no sellers to oppose them, likely a sovereign or major player stepping in. Nearly $2 billion in ETF flows came in since last week's video, which tracks his 3% per billion rule perfectly: $2 billion should add roughly 6%, and Bitcoin delivered 7% gains today. The chart shows Bitcoin now above both the 200-day and 200-week moving averages, reversals the creator flagged weeks prior. The critical question now is whether Bitcoin can hold above the 200-day support — if it does, this is very bullish indeed.

Crypto Alts Following Bitcoin Higher

Solana also surged 7%, hitting its target 200-day moving average at $82 exactly as predicted, then popping to $83-$84 territory. The creator emphasizes on-chain metrics for Solana are off the charts across every measure, calling it a miracle the asset stayed depressed for this long. He's careful to note that if Solana stays above the 200-day, it signals a new bull market breakout, a bullish call backed by technical confluence. Ethereum gained 10% after breaking above the $1,500 killbox he'd flagged for weeks — he called this a no-brainer buy zone even though he's not an active Ethereum trader. Total crypto market cap also popped through its 200-day moving average with clean bounce history at key levels. The pattern holds: Bitcoin leads, Ethereum follows, then layer-1 alts like Solana chase higher, and today that cascade happened nearly simultaneously.

AI Stocks Mixed: Marvel Soars, Broadcom Disappoints

Marvel had a monster move, up 10% today, and the creator reveals why: Google just filed warrant positions giving them the option to buy Marvel stock at a certain price, effectively putting a floor under the stock around $210-$212. This warrant news triggered today's surge off a clean July bounce at $164 that he'd highlighted previously. Marvel is one of three big winners in the AI semiconductor space alongside Micron and Alab, all delivering 15-20% earnings beats versus guidance. Broadcom, however, presents a contrasting case: it broke down from its buy zone at 357 like the creator predicted, but more troubling is its Q earnings beat of only 1.8% on EPS and 26% on revenue — anemic compared to peers. When asked if he'd buy Broadcom at these levels, he declines, preferring Micron, SpaceX on dips, or Alab under $250. The earnings gap between Broadcom and true AI leaders like Palantir signals where real momentum is concentrated.

Tesla Enters High Gear After Months of Bottoming

Tesla moved up $14 today, a massive jump the creator had been calling for despite months of sideways action. He's been screaming about the clearest technical signals he's ever seen in Tesla's chart without corresponding price action — until today. The bounce started from the 340 low in July, gradual and steady, but this session it shifted into high gear with all green candles. He notes retail sold the bottom as always, buying tops and selling lows, classic mistake. The gap fill from Tesla's 373 high down to 340 is now halfway closed, and with current momentum he sees the stock climbing back to near that 380 all-year buy level. The earnings call spooked markets because of capex and ZEV credit worries, which the creator dismisses as dumb concerns given Tesla's actual operational strength: metal production, FSD uptake, Cybercab ramping. This recovery could accelerate into September.

Palantir Stuck: When Bearish Influencers Break Technicals

Palantir sits at $170+ despite the creator expecting mean reversion weeks ago after massive RSI spikes matching previous mean reversion precedent. The stock hasn't reverted and he's still patient, hedged and underwater on the trade. His theory: Michael Burry's massive Substack following has created enough coordinated short positioning to artificially suppress the stock's natural technical bounce. Burry, he argues, is perma-bearish and miserable, making money on people's love of negativity rather than sound analysis — his fund got destroyed, he lost on Cerebras, yet his newsletter charges premium fees and pulls in a million a month. When Burry goes bearish publicly, followers short the asset, preventing natural mean reversion from playing out. This is a meta lesson: crowded bearish sentiment can temporarily override clean technical signals, though eventually Palantir should snap back. The creator's willingness to sit hedged on this demonstrates conviction that technicals will eventually win.

Baidu Awakens After Years of Silence

The creator just got back into Baidu yesterday at $90 for the first time in over six years, and already the 4-hour chart is showing a precursor to a buy signal — rare action on a name that hasn't flashed buys in years. Baidu is the Google of China, so it's exposed to AI growth while carrying some advertising revenue headwinds, but the AI business is killing it operationally. The weekly shows a complete capitulation chart, but he expects the pattern to turn next week into a solid green shadow leading to a confirmed buy signal. His price target is $160 within a year, which would deliver a 78% return from yesterday's entry, and he's using in-the-money leaps to lever the position. He cautions that Chinese stocks don't move fast but to bookmark the video and come back in six to twelve months. This is a classic deep-value reversion play on a household name with strong fundamentals hidden by macro China fears and technical capitulation.

Takeaways

  • Buy Micron under $800 for an easy double to $1,600 — use in-the-money leaps at $700 strike for leverage.
  • Watch for Broadcom to hold the $357 support level before buying; its earnings beats lag peers like Micron by far.
  • ALAB could pullback to $250-$260 before reversing; don't chase the current downtrend if you're not already holding.
  • Track the 200-day moving average as the key threshold — Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum all broke above it; if they hold, expect sustained uptrends.

Key moments

6:18Bitcoin's massive move explained

We were down at 62K on Sunday and now we're 69,000 pretty much. Massive move. What is interesting is when you see this type of action, it means there are no sellers and there's a big buyer buying.

8:45Solana breaks key resistance

I said last week 200 daily moving average is the target and we just popped right through it. $81 is the 200 day moving average. $8220 30 is the target right now.

19:50Micron as the prime setup

If you see Micron down here at this level five, 776, this is where you buy. This is where I loaded up in July. It's going to $1,600. So you buy it at 800, it's an easy double.

18:04Marvel's bullish warrant floor

We had news as well today that Google has a whole bunch of warrants that they can buy from Marvel giving them the option to buy a stock at a certain price, which puts the floor in on this stock at around 210 $212.

29:58Tesla's gap fill underway

The gap went from 373 to 340. Now we're halfway to closing that. And you know, all year I've been buying the crap out of Tesla at 380. We're literally only a few percentage points away from 380 right now.
