Earlier this year Trump picked up NVDA shares . Then Pelosi discussions started showing up again, and Tuberville reportedly added semiconductor too. To me, that says big money still believes the AI sector has more room instead of slowing down.

So instead of guessing during earnings tomorrow, I asked Bitget’s GetAgent as i had access to plus version how it would trade at such situation.
Bullish setup:

If NVDA beats and keeps holding strength after the first volatility, this is the setup I’m watching:
• Entry: 272.80
• Take Profit 1: 283.8
• Take Profit 2: 289.4
• Invalidation: daily close below 278.4

Bearish setup:
If earnings or guidance come out weaker than expected, I’m more interested in the failed breakout and downside liquidity move instead of forcing longs.
With the China chip approval news, AI demand still staying strong, and NVDA already growing revenue 73% YoY, this report feels like one of the biggest attention magnets in the market right now.
How do you plan to go about nvda earnings.

$HYPE still looks bullish structurally after the recent impulse. Right now price is just compressing below the $47 area while spot and perp volume continue dominating market activity. The whole Circle $5B HYPE buyback narrative plus Coinbase/Circle validator staking plans is why attention around this setup keeps increasing.

My main bullish setup:
I’m watching the $45.50 to $45.60 area for a pullback. If buyers defend that zone and lower timeframe structure flips bullish again on 1m, I’d expect continuation toward $46.20 first, then potentially a sweep above the $46.80 to $47.00 highs.

Risk is simple:
If price closes below $45.30, structure weakens and I’m out. No reason to hold and hope. The market already gives enough emotional damage for free.

Bearish possibility:
If HYPE instantly pushes into $47 but cannot sustain above it, breakout traders probably get trapped. In that case I’d expect rotation back toward $46.20 and maybe even a revisit of the $45.60 liquidity zone.

Execution-wise, I’m still trading this on Bitget for now since they currently lead HYPE volume among CEXs and still rank top 5 even when combining CEX + DEX activity. Liquidity and fills have been smoother there for me.

What’s everyone watching here?
Breakout above $47 or liquidity sweep first?

I have been thinking a lot lately, mostly in terms of business, and also getting honest perspectives from people that have actually built their businesses from normal systems into Web3 systems, and are still making it work till now.

We all were on this internet when the wave of Web3 came some years back, and many people thought it was just another trend that would come and go. But now, it seems to be moving traditional businesses forward and even improving some systems.

Right now, it feels like the only way to truly understand the real deal is to ask people that have actually done it successfully, and I think this is the right place for the question on my mind to be answered.

A few specific areas I've been researching:

Tokenization — Some businesses are experimenting with tokenizing assets or equity. Has anyone here actually done this? Did it simplify fundraising or just add more legal complexity?

Loyalty programs — This one seems like the most grounded use case to me. Instead of points that expire and mean nothing, customers hold actual tokens with real utility. A few brands seem to be pulling this off. Has anyone here built something like this?

The honest reality — I'm not coming in as a Web3 maximalist. I've seen plenty of projects burn cash chasing blockchain solutions to problems that never needed them. But I've also seen a handful of founders quietly building real infrastructure with it.

So genuinely curious, if you've explored Web3 for your business, what did you find? Was it worth the technical and regulatory overhead, or did you walk away unconvinced?

Not looking for pitches. Just real founder experiences.

A California jury just rejected Elon Musk’s claims against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman after a three-week trial. They didn’t even get to the main arguments about whether OpenAI strayed from its original nonprofit setup. The jury found the claims were filed too late under the three-year limit.

Microsoft was also named in the suit for its investments and partnership with OpenAI. Those claims got dismissed on the same timing issue. For MSFT, this removes a layer of legal noise around one of its biggest AI bets. The company has poured significant resources into the relationship since 2019, and this ends the risk of being tagged as helping breach any founding terms.

OpenAI itself stays private for now, but the ruling clears one distraction while it keeps raising capital and pushing its roadmap. On the broader side, names tied to the AI buildout like NVDA don’t have to price in extra courtroom drama for a while. The focus shifts back to actual product cycles, capex, and competition instead of governance fights from years ago.

Musk can still appeal, but the statute of limitations call looks decisive. I’ve been watching MSFT and a few other AI-related names through futures, and this kind of overhang clearing usually lets the tape breathe a bit.

How are you reading it, does this change anything for how you look at Microsoft’s AI exposure or the competitive dynamics going forward?s

$HYPE still looks structurally bullish after the recent impulse move. Price is consolidating below the $47 area while spot + perp volume stay dominant across the market. Circle planning a $5B HYPE buyback and Coinbase/Circle preparing validator staking is exactly why this narrative is getting aggressive attention right now.

My current scenario:
Bullish setup:
Watching for a pullback into the $45.50-$45.60 zone. If buyers defend it and 1m structure flips back bullish, I’d look for continuation toward $46.20 first, then potentially a sweep above $46.80-$47.00.

Invalidation:
If price closes below $45.30, structure weakens and I’m out immediately. No point marrying the trade. Market already has enough toxic relationships.

Bearish scenario:
If HYPE instantly sends into $47 and fails to hold above it, I’d expect breakout traders to get trapped and price to rotate back toward $46.20 or even $45.60 liquidity.

Bitget currently has the highest HYPE volume among CEXs and sits top 5 even when combining both CEX and DEX activity, so for now I’m sticking there for smoother execution and liquidity.

What’s your current HYPE setup?
Are you looking for continuation above $47 or waiting for a liquidity sweep first? And where are you trading it right now?

Cisco crushed earnings on Wednesday May 14: +12% revenue, AI orders already at $5.3B YTD, and new guidance raised to $9B for the year (4x vs FY2025). Stock ripped +15-20%. Networking is clearly becoming the #1 pick-and-shovel play of the AI era.

Key points:

• Q3 FY2026 Revenue: $15.84B (beat estimates)

• Hyperscaler AI orders: already blew past the original annual target

• Data center switching: +40% QoQ

• ~4,000 roles cut to accelerate pivot toward Silicon One, optics, and AI networking

• CEO openly calling this a "networking supercycle"

I tracked the announcement and guidance revisions in real time through Bitget GetClaw, useful for monitoring sector trends and AI order flows without missing the key numbers as they drop.

My question to you now: How are you positioning on the AI Infrastructure theme right now?

• Accumulating CSCO (scale + dividend + still reasonable valuation)?

• Preferring Arista (ANET) pure-play Ethernet, hyperscaler darling?

• Broadcom (AVGO) for custom ASICs + optics?

• A basket (CSCO + ANET + AVGO + SMCI + VRT)?

• Or staying NVIDIA-only?

Curious to see how the community is splitting positions across these names. Do you see Cisco as a catch-up trade or a durable long-term leader?

Yeah yeah, ik im late on Cisco. Everyone already talked about it a couple days back.
I completely missed the 15% move live. After that I got kinda annoyed and actually went through the earnings properly instead of just scrollin past it. Good that now we have tools like GetClaw for help checking the numbers.

nd tbh... i get why people got bullish.
Ai orders guidance got raised from $5.3B to $9B. networking revenue jumped 25%, data center orders were strong too nd Now the market suddenly sees Cisco as an Ai company instead of just an outdated networking company
bt I still feel like people are getting a bit too excited here.

Margins are getting weaker, Some older parts of the business are still having a hard time.. insiders sold shares before earnings. nd the stock already moved like 25% in a week and is sitting near highs now.
At first I was also going with just the flow but Later, when I was brainstorming with GetClaw, it actually started to make sense in my head and then when I searched a little about it from these perspective in mind some Reddit posts that came to my feed actually pointed towards this as well...

Now imo... the rerating already happened. That was probably the easiest part of the move.
Short term Im slightly bearish unless Nasdaq keeps running higher and drags everything with it. Feels like everyone suddenly became ultra bullish on the exact same AI story at once.
My bigger concern is that a lot of this demand is coming from only a few huge customers. If even one of them slows spending later, this whole narrative changes very fast.

So for people still bullish here at these prices... what’s the actual thesis now besides just “AI infrastructure”?

I’ve been watching this situation build for weeks and today’s CPI print felt like the moment where everything connected.

Quick numbers for those who missed it:

• CPI: 3.8% vs 3.7% expected. Highest since May 2023.
• Energy component: +18% year-over-year.
• Gas prices: $4.18/gallon national average. Highest since August 2022.
• Brent: touched $104-105 intraday Monday. WTI knocking on $100 again.

None of this is happening in a vacuum. This is the direct downstream consequence of the Hormuz situation.

The inflation loop nobody wants to talk about

Here’s what’s bothering me. The Strait has been largely closed or severely disrupted since late February. Pre-disruption flows were running ~20 mb/d. That’s 10-20% of global supply effectively strangled for months now.

The 1970s oil crisis saw a 7% supply disruption. The 2022 crisis was 3-5%. We are sitting on something significantly larger than either of those and the market is still behaving like a deal is days away.

Every “ceasefire imminent” headline produces a fake selloff. Every re-escalation snaps it back. Trump just called Iran’s latest terms “totally unacceptable” and said the ceasefire is “on life support.” That’s not a deal getting closer.

Meanwhile the CPI print today confirms what the gas station already told you: this is feeding through to consumers. And here’s the brutal part of the loop:

• High oil = high CPI
• High CPI = Fed can’t cut rates
• No rate cuts = stronger dollar = more pressure on emerging market oil demand
• But Hormuz stays closed regardless of what the Fed does

So you get stagflationary pressure building with no obvious release valve until there’s a real diplomatic resolution.

For the moment, I’ve been adding to oil longs on dips rather than chasing spikes. I prefer using CFDs on Bitget during periods like this because they offer more exposure, even though I think their x500 leverage is a bit excessive. The asymmetry still feels skewed upward as long as Hormuz stays closed and there’s no real deal framework. I’m treating every false-dovish headline as a buying opportunity until the physical situation actually changes.

,Seriously though, do you think $100 WTI holds through June if the ceasefire stays in limbo? Or does demand destruction + SPR cap the move before we see $110+?

Most people are treating this like noise. I don’t think it is.

Quick recap for those who missed it: Trump posted on Truth Social Monday calling Iran’s counter-proposals “totally unacceptable” and said the ceasefire is “on life support.” Iran had come back through Pakistani mediators with conditions including partial uranium transfer abroad, war reparations, lifting of the US naval blockade, and recognition of their sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said no to all of it.

Brent jumped 3-4% intraday, touched $104-105/barrel before settling around $103. WTI is knocking on $100 again.

The Hormuz math nobody wants to talk about

The Strait has been largely closed or severely disrupted since late February. Pre-disruption flows were running around 20 mb/d through the strait. Current flows are a fraction of that. That’s not a rounding error, that’s the largest sustained supply disruption in years, and the market keeps getting whipsawed between “ceasefire imminent” headlines and “deal collapsed” reality.

Every false dovish headline = fake selloff = buying opportunity. Every re-escalation = price spikes back. We’ve seen this pattern play out multiple times in the last 6 weeks.

How does Trump’s rejection actually affect the market?

This is the part I keep thinking about.

Trump is running a classic max-pressure playbook. He needs Iran to concede on the nuclear program AND on Hormuz access simultaneously. Iran is “defeated but not done” according to Trump’s own framing, militarily weakened but still capable of proxy disruption and maritime harassment.

The problem is this dynamic is structurally bullish for oil in the short to medium term:

• No deal = Hormuz stays constrained = supply premium stays in the price
• A bad deal (partial concessions) = Hormuz reopens partially = maybe $88-121$ rally
• A real deal (full nuclear + full Hormuz) = sharp reversal, $75-80 possible

Right now the market is pricing somewhere between scenario 1 and 2. If Trump keeps the pressure up without a credible path to resolution, I don’t see what brings oil back down sustainably.

My take:

Case FOR staying above $100:

→ US-Iran ceasefire is still “on life support”

→ Hormuz still blocked = global supply strangled

→ Hot CPI delays Fed rate cuts = stronger dollar = upward pressure on crude

→ No visible de-escalation signal in the short term

Case FOR a reversal:

→ A US-Iran deal could drop Brent 15-20$ in a matter of hours

→ Demand destruction if pump prices keep climbing

→ Potential SPR release from the US administration

In both scenarios, volatility will stay extremely high. There’s definitely an opportunity to gain exposure with some leverage, even up to x500 on Bitget CFDs. Sounds crazy, but it can really help maximize moves if managed properly.

Personally I’ve been adding to my long on oil on dips rather than chasing the spikes. The asymmetry still feels skewed to the upside as long as Hormuz stays closed and there’s no real deal framework on the table.

The counter-argument

Demand destruction is real. Gas prices across the US just hit $4.18/gallon, highest since August 2022. CPI came in at 3.8% this week, highest since May 2023, with energy up 18%. At some point sustained high prices kill their own catalyst.

Also SPR releases are politically on the table if this drags into summer driving season.

Do you think $100 WTI holds if this ceasefire stays in limbo through June? Or does demand destruction + potential SPR release cap the move from here?

Not financial advice. DYOR.

At the begining of this war, Iran predicted Oil could surpass $150-200 and this recent peace deal collapse has once again prove their prediction.

Many traders continue to take advantage of this war as i recently came across a post on X where a trader claim he is about to add more to his 500x leverage oil long on Bitget. I am begining to think toward that direction.

What do you think about this? Will Oil surpass $150 or will there be a deal soon?

I had joined the previous preSpaceX IPO Prime out of curiosity sold it on the distribution day for around just 3% profit bt it gave almost 25% profit in less than a month. I literally missed 22% profit bcz back then i didn’t really think these tokenized pre-IPO products would stay popular for soo long.

Bt watching how fast demand kept growing afterward kinda changed my point of view. Now Bitget opened OpenAI pre-IPO access nd this one feels even stronger to me for a few reasons.

First, the structure itself looks far more trustworthy than most crypto things people doubt. The issuance is Republic regulated, the exposure is backed 1:1 by real world equity structure, nd the backing can be verified onchain too

Second, the pricing difference across platforms is interesting. Bitget opened around $725 while I saw Hyperliquid closer to $1.1k and Binance around $1.4k. That gap alone makes the entry look much more interesting to me
I think a lot of people may join this time too bcz it’s easy to access. Most people normally can’t even think about pre-IPO exposure, but here people can participate starting from just $100.

tbh I really don’t want to miss this one after missing the big opportunity last time.
Are you guys joining too? Last date is May 15 btw.

I usually think the crazy moves and huge gains mostly come from random low caps nobody was paying attention to. I did not expect ZEC to prove me wrong this hard honestly.

I saw it outperforming a lot of major coins lately and it caught me off guard so I started digging into what was actually going on. I found that the Grayscale ETF narrative seems to have pushed attention back toward privacy coins again and ZEC volume on both spot and perps has been building aggressively. I watched the price move more than 100% over the month and the volatility has been nonstop.

I noticed traders are fully on top of these moves for scalps now. Every dip and breakout is getting traded almost immediately.

I was already deep in these setups when I came across Bitget's Crazy 48H ZEC events for poeple who are into such . since I was sitting on the charts anyway. Honestly it kept me more focused on my entries than usual.

I honestly think sitting completely on the sidelines when volatility is already this good sometimes feels like watching everyone eat while you hold the empty plate.

Are you guys actively trading it too or just watching this run happen?

Been watching $DOGS for a few months now. Picked up a bag early and honestly wasn't sure it had legs... most airdrop tokens just bleed out once the initial hype dies down.

But TON as a platform is doing something most other chains haven't figured out: Telegram native distribution. We're talking hundreds of millions of users who can interact with wallets, mini-apps, and tokens without downloading a separate app. That's a real structural edge, not a talking point.

DOGS specifically benefits from being one of the earliest recognizable tokens in that ecosystem. Got major exchange listings quickly, Bitget, Binance, OKX and others picked it up fast. I've been using Bitget to monitor the DOGS/USDT pair; spreads have been reasonable even during slow periods, which makes it easier to manage position sizing without getting slippage-wrecked.

Price action lately has been mostly sideways, but I'd rather see controlled consolidation than a blow-off top followed by a 90% dump. The TON ecosystem narrative is still intact, and any meaningful Telegram integration news tends to move the whole sector.

Curious if others here are holding or if most people already exited.

Apple released earnings yesterday and the numbers were strong across the board, $111.2B revenue up 17% YoY and EPS at $2.01 up 22%, with iPhone and Services both hitting record levels, so naturally the first thought is that price should keep moving higher. But since this came out after Friday close, most traders are now sitting nd watching the weekend play out without being able to position, while I’m seeing a chance for me here..

I managed to take a few quick scalps earlier from the initial volatility, I caught a few small moves around $271.3 down to $270.8 a couple of times when price kept respecting that area.
At first I was copy trading an elite trader on Bitget, just observing how he was taking his trades. But when I saw him getting active around the same levels I was already watching, I decided to try it myself. Took a few small trades on my own too, just to practice and improve execution.
Now I’m planning a weekend swing Instead of sitting back until Monday, I’m watching the key levels now. Here’s my plan, share yours too.

On the 4H, AAPL already broke above $278 and cleared supply, which keeps the structure bullish, but it also left a gap between $272 and $276 that price can come back to fill. At the same time, liquidity is sitting above around $283.75 and higher near $288, so both sides are clearly mapped.

Long Scenario (The Dip & Continuation)
If weekend price moves lower, watch for a sweep of the sell-side liquidity resting near $278. If price pushes into the $272–$276 zone, that becomes the key area.

The Trigger: Wait for a clear 1m confirmation, a sell-side sweep followed by a bullish shift in structure (CHoCH).
The Entry: Enter on the first bullish 1m pullback, ideally from a small demand zone or imbalance.
The Targets: First target sits near $283.75, with continuation toward $288 if strength builds.
Invalidation: No bullish response from the $276 zone or price holding below it.

Short Scenario (The Liquidity Trap)
If weekend price pushes up into $283.75 and fails to hold above it, especially without strong continuation, treat that move as a liquidity sweep.

The Trigger: Look for a sharp rejection on 1m and a bearish shift in structure (CHoCH).
The Entry: Short the retest of the newly formed supply zone on lower timeframe.
The Targets: First target is the mid area, then continuation toward $278 liquidity.
Invalidation: Strong acceptance and holding above $283.75 with continuation.

What I’m Watching:
Which side gets swept first, $278 or $283.75
Behavior inside $272–$276 zone
Strength or rejection near highs
Clear lower timeframe confirmation before entry

I’m not trying to predict anything here, just following where liquidity gets taken and how price behaves after that. Using up to 100x leverage makes even small movements worth it, and with zero fees I can take very small profit and build gradually. Most people will wait for Monday to make a move, but by then the cleaner setups are usually already gone, so I prefer staying engaged while this is still forming... Whats on your mind for aapl this week?
