This week is finally coming to an end. Next week doesn’t have any major macro events. The slightly more notable one might be the Fed’s meeting minutes, but personally, I don’t think it’s very significant. After all, there’s already been a gap since the U.S.-Iran conflict ended. Speaking of conflicts, let’s talk about WTI’s trend. It’s pretty much as I expected—around $68, it’s getting harder to push further down, especially since $65 is already close to the pre-conflict average level. At the current price, there’s not much point in shorting WTI anymore. Going long doesn’t seem ideal either, as the window for gains might be quite short. Going long on oil is like betting on short-term news events—it’s a very brief window and not really worth it. So personally, I’m not focusing on oil anymore, though I still have some positions open. At least I’m still earning some funding fees daily, which is nice. Next week, I’ll mainly shift my focus to gold, as well as dollar-cost averaging into the S&P and Nasdaq. Over the weekend, I shared a lot of data, including how retail investors are buying the dip when indices drop. While it seems like they’re taking the opposite side of institutions, if the premise is to go long on the U.S. market, this might not necessarily be wrong. Of course, next week’s focus will be on whether AI and semiconductors continue to pull back ahead of earnings or stabilize first. I’ve seen too much data showing institutions and hedge funds pulling out of tech stocks, so I’ll be more cautious with my choices next week. The main focus will be on the earnings season in late July. As for Bitcoin, it’s still fluctuating today. The $63,000 settlement price for dual-currency investments on Monday carries some risk. Honestly, I’d rather not settle at this price since it’s relatively low compared to when I bought in. But at the time, if I didn’t choose $63,000, the yield would’ve been too low—I guess I got a bit greedy. Still, dual-currency investments feel more comfortable when you approach them with a gold-standard mindset. Starting next week, I’ll also write more mini-lessons on options trading. Hopefully, they’ll be helpful to everyone. Bitget—join and you’re a VIP! Crypto, U.S. stocks, CFDs—global opportunities, all in one place!
