LiquidatedAgain

A recent urgent voice call made me realize that the market is once again showing that familiar madness.
The caller was a friend involved in foreign trade, with background noise so chaotic that I could barely hear him. He asked anxiously, "ETH has already surged to 3149, and I see everyone in the group shouting 3500. Should I invest all my funds now? Is it still possible?" I only replied with five words: "Do you want to die quickly?"
The most absurd truth of this market
When it dropped to 2900, no one dared to act—at that time, it was all about gold everywhere. When it rose to 3100, everyone went crazy—that was the moment of scythe everywhere.
Now the market is hovering around 3123, and many people claim "it's stable" and "refueling in the air." But what do I see? A trap set by the hunters.
That big bullish candle yesterday shot straight from 3000 to 3149, causing quite a stir. Why did the whales do this? To trigger a short squeeze and create a "

The US labor market is in a stalemate. Although unemployment benefit claims have declined, there is no fundamental improvement, reflecting employers' tendency to "neither hire nor lay off." Trump's policies and the impact of AI have caused companies to adopt a wait-and-see attitude toward hiring. The Federal Reserve faces difficulties in balancing inflation and employment data, and the overall job market is in a "hibernation" state.

In 2025, the cryptocurrency market shows divergence, with privacy-focused altcoins performing strongly. Gold prices hit a record high, while Bitcoin experienced a correction in the fourth quarter. As regulations improve and privacy protection demands increase, Monero and ZCash have seen significant gains, becoming market hotspots and offering new options for investors seeking confidentiality.

Litecoin official clarification: Founder Charlie Lee's remarks were maliciously taken out of context on social media, leading to the misunderstanding of "regretting creating Litecoin." The official emphasizes that Charlie Lee continues to invest in technological development and support the community, refuting the rumors and warning the public to be cautious of cherry-picking quotes.

The crypto landscape just experienced a seismic shift. Brazil's B3 exchange—Latin America's premier securities market—has greenlit a Solana ETP, marking a watershed moment for institutional cryptocurrency adoption across emerging markets. What makes this development more than just another product la

On the eve of Thanksgiving, a strong wave of generosity is surging through the crypto community. As digital assets become more widely used, an increasing number of donors are choosing to fulfill their charitable missions with cryptocurrencies, driving modern philanthropy into a new stage of development.
Digital Asset Donations Reach New Highs
This year's market performance of cryptocurrencies has directly inspired a sense of social responsibility. Bitcoin hit a record high of 12.6K USD on October 6, and this growth trend has brought unprecedented financial support to charitable organizations.
According to platforms that provide crypto donation services, this year they have processed nearly @E5@100 million USD@E5@ worth of crypto donations for thousands of non-profit organizations. An executive from the platform told the media, "This is our best year ever. Since our founding in 2018, the total amount of crypto donations processed has approached @E5@300 million USD@E5@."

Cango Inc. as a publicly listed Bitcoin mining company, recently completed a key equity financing, further consolidating its position in the global digital infrastructure sector. The main investor, Enduring Wealth Capital Limited (EWCL), subscribed to 7 million Class B common shares at a price of $1.50 per share, with a total transaction amount of $15.0 million, demonstrating market recognition of the company's strategic direction.
Voting Rights Structure Reshaped, Shareholder Influence Significantly Increased
This investment not only injected capital but also changed the company's governance structure. After the transaction, EWCL's circulating equity will increase from 2.81% to approximately 4.69%, but its voting rights will grow significantly to about 49.61%, a substantial rise from 36.68% before the transaction. This is because Class B shares are specially designed, with each share enjoying 20 votes.

Taiwan stocks hit another milestone on the 28th! Leading server management chipmaker Wistron (5274) surged strongly during trading, breaking through the 7-figure mark and locking in a limit-up at 7,315 NT dollars. It became the first stock in Taiwan to break the "7-figure" high-price level, soaring by 665 NT dollars in a single day, a 10% increase, setting a new record high for the stock. This rally not only symbolizes an industry boom but also drives the entire "Four Big Girls" group to take off, unveiling a high-priced stock investment feast for the market.
Foreign investors continue to increase their holdings, with target prices soaring to 7,600 NT dollars
Behind Wistron's strong performance today, the active optimism of foreign institutional investors cannot be overlooked. Recently, several foreign investors have simultaneously raised their target prices, with the highest estimate reaching 7,600 NT dollars, mainly based on optimistic expectations for the company's fundamentals. Foreign research teams pointed out that Wistron's gross profit margin is expected to continue improving, and demand for cloud servers remains on a steady growth trajectory.
According to foreign forecasts, Wistron's 2026 EPS challenge

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) today, as scheduled, raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 0.75%, reaching the highest level in thirty years. However, the market reaction was unexpected — the yen not only failed to appreciate on positive news but also weakened during European trading hours, with the USD/JPY currency pair surging by 0.85%, reaching around 156.90 and approaching the 157.00 level.
Hawkish signals from the central bank fell short of market expectations
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda reiterated at the press conference that if economic data and price trends meet expectations and the improvement continues, the central bank will continue to raise interest rates. This statement should have supported the yen, but market doubts about its actual implementation persisted.
The key issue is — when and by how much will the central bank continue to raise rates in 2026? The authorities have yet to provide clear guidance. This policy uncertainty has instead reinforced investors' wait-and-see attitude, causing the yen to

Entering early 2026, Bitcoin's performance continues to disappoint the market. Currently trading around $92,640, it has fallen more than 26% from its all-time high of $126,080. Although there are occasional technical rebounds, this rally has ultimately failed to break through the long-term downtrend line, leaving Bitcoin still in a structurally weak position.
Capital rotation intensifies, and safe-haven assets emerge as winners
In the past few weeks, the market has shown a clear pattern of capital differentiation. Gold and silver continue to strengthen and hit new all-time highs, while Bitcoin remains stuck in a sideways consolidation. According to ICAP Technical Analysis, this is no coincidence—investors are massively rotating funds from Bitcoin into traditional safe-haven assets.
Since peaking in October, Bitcoin has fallen more than one-third, while during the same period, gold has risen about 15%, and silver has surged by as much as 50%.

The global memory supply chain is undergoing an unprecedented restructuring. As AI servers drive a surge in demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the three major manufacturers are rapidly shifting their DDR4 capacity to the HBM sector. This capacity conversion storm is rewriting the industry landscape. Nanya Technology (2408), as a manufacturer still holding substantial DDR4 capacity, has become a target for global system vendors to secure supplies. Its stock price today surged to 189 NTD, reaching a new intra-day high of 190 NTD, with a single-day increase of over 7%.
Process Technology Becomes the Threshold for Winners
Nanya Technology's 1B process (second-generation 10nm class process) has entered a critical harvesting phase. Latest industry data shows that the company's self-developed 1B process products will account for over 30% of total bit output in 2025, a leading level in the industry. Especially, its 16Gb DDR5 5600 products have achieved stable mass production and delivery, with even higher speeds

From 4500 to 10000: Institutional Bold Imagination
Recently, comments on gold prices have become increasingly aggressive. Leading institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Yardeni Research have raised their forecasts, with Yardeni Research even proposing a shocking target — by the end of 2029, gold could reach $10,000 per ounce.
In comparison, JPMorgan Chase's prediction is relatively conservative but still optimistic. The institution believes that by Q4 2026, the average price of gold will reach $5055 per ounce, and then continue to rise to $5400 per ounce by the end of 2027.
Current Reality: Gold Has Reached a New Historic High
Data from December 24 shows that gold prices have already hit $4525 per ounce, setting a new record. Silver has also risen, with its price reaching a new high of $72.59 per ounce. At the beginning of the year

The crypto market reached a new turning point in 2025. The Federal Reserve continues to inject liquidity, the Digital Asset Regulatory Framework Act eliminates policy uncertainty, BlackRock's Ethereum spot ETF was approved, and El Salvador incorporated Bitcoin into its national debt reserves... A series of major events have propelled the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies beyond $6 trillion, officially surpassing gold to become the fifth-largest asset class globally.
In this wave of market growth, besides direct investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum, there is a more cost-effective participation method being discovered by more and more people—cryptocurrency airdrops. This low or zero-investment approach with high returns is gradually becoming a standard skill among crypto participants.
What exactly is an airdrop?
An airdrop is essentially a marketing strategy by project teams—directly crediting tokens to user accounts or allowing eligible users to claim them proactively.
Since the early days of Bitcoin, as long as you were in

The competitive dynamics in the AI accelerator sector are shifting dramatically. Meta Platforms is reportedly in substantive negotiations with Google to deploy tensor processing units (TPUs) across its data centers beginning in 2027, with potential cloud-based access as soon as 2025. This

When the TWD/JPY exchange rate breaks above 4.85, many people are eager to exchange for Japanese yen. But do you know? Exchanging 50,000 TWD using the wrong method could cost you an extra 2,000 NT dollars unnecessarily. We tested the four most practical ways to exchange JPY in Taiwan and used real market rates to tell you which one is truly the most cost-effective—especially for beginners with no foreign exchange experience.
Why is it worth exchanging for Japanese yen? It’s not just for travel
When it comes to exchanging foreign currency, Taiwanese people's first reaction is JPY. The reason behind this isn’t just because Japan is fun, but because the yen has tangible value in both daily life and investment.
Travel and daily expenses: Most Japanese stores still rely on cash (credit card penetration is only 60%). Whether shopping in Tokyo, skiing in Hokkaido, or vacationing in Okinawa, exchanging JPY is almost essential. Additionally, those purchasing Japanese cosmetics, clothing, and anime merchandise, or planning to study or work in Japan, need to stay informed about the exchange rate trends.

December 19th, the Bank of Japan is about to announce its interest rate decision, with widespread market expectations of a hike to 0.75%, reaching a 30-year high. But can this move trigger a rally in the forex market? Several institutions have given vastly different answers.
The Battle Between Two Major Forecast Camps
Bank of America paints a relatively moderate scenario: if the Bank of Japan adopts a "dovish rate hike" stance, the USD/JPY will continue to rise, potentially breaking the 160 level early next year. Regarding the annual target, BofA predicts that USD/JPY will gradually fall from 160 in Q1 2026 to 155 in Q4.
Nomura Securities, on the other hand, is more bold. The institution believes that yen depreciation is causing political backlash within Japan, and the narrowing of the US-Japan interest rate differential will weaken carry trade attractiveness. Nomura forecasts that USD/JPY will rebound more quickly, gradually falling from 155 in Q1 2026 to 140 in Q4.
This divergence reflects differing views on "central bank true

The AI chip market is experiencing a power shift. Alphabet's market capitalization approaches $4 trillion, making it one of the top ten companies globally by market value. Morgan Stanley's latest analysis suggests that if this tech giant opens its self-developed AI chip TPU for external sales, it will completely reshape the industry landscape long dominated by NVIDIA.
TPU Commercialization: From Internal Tool to Profit Engine
For a long time, Alphabet's TPU was just a "secret weapon" for internal use, playing a key role in internal AI computations. However, Morgan Stanley estimates that by 2027, Alphabet will be capable of supplying 500,000 to 1 million TPU units to the market, marking a watershed moment in the AI hardware industry.
Meta has already sensed the opportunity and is negotiating to purchase Alphabet's dedicated chips worth billions of dollars. If this deal is finalized, Alphabet will not only turn its cost center into a new revenue stream but also...
