Good morning, everyone!

Today marks the final trading day of August—what we often call the “closing battle.” Before diving into the market, I'd like to address a question raised by some students yesterday: Who “issues” options?

In reality, options aren't arbitrarily created by brokerages. They must be designed and listed by exchanges approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The two primary platforms are the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and the NASDAQ Options Market. Every option you see in your account and can trade is a standardized contract listed on these regulated exchanges. This is precisely what ensures the security and transparency of options trading.

Additionally, I want to emphasize: in our classroom, the most valuable element isn't the answers, but the questions.
Often, it's precisely because someone asks a good question that we gain the opportunity to delve deeper together and thoroughly explain the logic. To encourage this atmosphere, I'm willing to share some CXON airdrop tokens during each interaction as a token of our engagement. It's not about rewarding anyone, but rather leaving a shared mark in our process of learning from and inspiring each other.

Friends, remember: this is not a one-way lecture, but an equal exchange. It is precisely this kind of interaction that will carry us further on our investment journey.

Today we'll set aside the fast pace of trading and use this session as a moment for reflection and review, wrapping up our August summary together.

Looking at the markets, August delivered exceptionally strong performance: the S&P 500 rose about 11%, the Dow gained nearly 9.5%, and the Nasdaq surged over 15%. This shows us that the bull market isn't just a slogan—it's backed by solid economic fundamentals.

At the same time, I want to remind everyone: Next Monday (September 1) is Labor Day in the U.S., and U.S. stock markets will be closed. This marks the last long weekend of summer, after which we will enter a new semester and a new work rhythm.

Therefore, I hope you view today's session not only as August's conclusion but also as September's fresh beginning. Investing, much like the changing seasons, unfolds differently through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Only by learning to adjust your pace during each distinct phase can you truly walk steadily and far.

Before Friday's market open, the three major stock index futures showed a resilient rebound, suggesting a modest higher opening for today's stock market. But will the upward momentum persist?

First, let's examine the core economic data.
The latest July core PCE inflation rate came in at 2.8%, slightly above the expected 2.7%. While not fully meeting market expectations, it remains within a moderate range. This indicates that inflationary pressures are gradually easing—a key prerequisite for the Federal Reserve to consider interest rate cuts.

Next, policy signals.
According to CoreX's big data analysis, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September has approached 85%. More significantly, Fed Governor Waller stated this week that if the labor market continues to weaken, they may act sooner and implement multiple rate cuts within the next 3–6 months. This indicates the central bank is preparing for potential economic headwinds.

Now, market logic: Nvidia's earnings remained robust, yet its stock price faced short-term volatility in pre-market trading. However, don't fixate on a single stock—the broader market has already voted with its feet: The S&P 500 has gained about 11% this month, while the Nasdaq has surged over 15%, confirming the bull market structure remains solid.

Friends, remember: Market rallies are never just about changing numbers—they're about advancing logic.
Inflation, policy, confidence—this forms a clear chain. Understanding this chain allows us to maintain composure amid volatility and find our own rhythm.

So I ask you: Are you ready? Next Friday's nonfarm payroll data will determine the scale of September's rate cut. That moment may well be when we welcome a new wave of opportunities.

Amid the imminent prospect of interest rate cuts, we must first grasp one crucial point:
Foreign capital is not the decisive factor in the direction of U.S. stocks. While yen carry trades brought substantial funds in recent years, these inflows have now significantly diminished. Even so, U.S. rate cuts unleash powerful domestic liquidity. In the short term, dollar-denominated capital may flow out, but in the medium term, it will inevitably return to U.S. markets—which remain the safest and most attractive investment hub.

Therefore, whether new highs can be achieved hinges on whether the U.S. economy can achieve a “soft landing.”
If the economy cools smoothly without falling into recession, coupled with the support of rate cuts, then the stock market breaking new highs is a high-probability event. Moreover, this will not be driven by foreign currency, but by domestic capital forces.

However, the hot money attracted by rate cuts often gravitates toward sectors offering “value and cash flow,” such as the utilities sector, which provides stable dividends and resilience against risks. Simultaneously, another major beneficiary is digital currencies and Bitcoin, which invariably draw significant attention during periods of monetary easing.

Friends, imagine this: you're driving a car at high speed. The pace keeps accelerating, and without control, an accident could happen at any moment.

What would you do in this situation?
Certainly not slam on the brakes—that would send everyone in the car flying. Instead, you'd gradually ease off the accelerator, decelerating smoothly until you come to a safe stop.

An economic “soft landing” follows the same principle.

When a country's economy grows too rapidly—like a car speeding out of control—it invites risks such as inflation, asset bubbles, and even financial instability. To avoid a “hard landing” (akin to the chaos caused by sudden braking), policymakers like the Federal Reserve gradually lower interest rates, adjust the money supply, and guide market expectations. This cools the economy down step by step, steering it back toward a healthy, stable state.

Therefore, an economic “soft landing” does not mean abruptly halting growth, but rather fostering healthier, more sustainable growth. It's like driving a car—steady control of the steering wheel and accelerator ensures everyone arrives safely at their destination.

So why is a soft landing so crucial?

Avoiding economic crises: A “hard landing,” akin to slamming on the brakes, could trigger widespread business failures, rapid spikes in unemployment, and social turmoil.

Protecting public interests: A smooth adjustment prevents ordinary households from suffering severe shocks to their income and living standards.

Maintaining financial stability: Gradual cooling prevents sudden asset bubble bursts, avoiding violent turbulence in stock and real estate markets.

Thus, the goal of a soft landing isn't to halt the economy, but to keep it running at a more reasonable pace. For investors like us, this means more opportunities and more manageable risks.

Today marks the final trading day of August, with all eyes focused on one question: Can the S&P 500 (.SPX) reach another all-time high?

Chart analysis shows the market is currently consolidating near its previous peak—a critical window for directional choice. A breakout to new highs today could signal an extended rally lasting until the Fed's mid-September policy meeting.

However, a breakdown at this level would signal resistance at the prior peak, potentially dampening sentiment and making September's opening more challenging.

Currently, my assessment leans toward the positive side. The fear index is trending lower amid volatility, indicating improving trading sentiment. Simultaneously, Nvidia's rally is injecting confidence into the market. The only caution is that with the long weekend approaching, some profit-taking selling may emerge in the late session. Beyond that, the overall trend remains healthy.

So, the question arises: On this pivotal closing day, where do you see the stock market heading on Friday?

According to CoreX's big data monitoring, as of August 27, the total assets of U.S. money market funds reached $7.207 trillion, marking an increase of approximately 15.5% compared to a year ago. This indicates that substantial cash remains on the sidelines, poised like dry powder ready to ignite, potentially fueling the next market rally.

Amid intensifying expectations for interest rate cuts, declining rates typically guide capital toward new high-growth and high-return opportunities. Unlike traditional real estate and utilities of the past, this time, capital is more likely to accelerate its flow into digital assets and cryptocurrency-related beneficiary stocks.

Why? Because core assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum have already established themselves as “digital gold” in the market. Coupled with the expanding applications of blockchain technology, the market is increasingly allocating capital to crypto beneficiaries such as $MSTR, $BTBT, $SBET, and $BMNR. These companies not only benefit from the price volatility of crypto assets but also serve as builders of new financial infrastructure.

Furthermore, from a policy perspective, government support for new energy, climate change, and emerging fintech has created a favorable external environment for cryptocurrencies and related companies. Simultaneously, adjustments to tax policies are redirecting capital away from traditional tech giants toward seeking higher-growth opportunities with greater resilience.

Therefore, regarding $WULF, which we've been monitoring, I'm issuing a clear strategy alert today:

Stock Attributes: Cryptocurrency Beneficiary Stock
Positioning Cycle Completed: Hold until end of August
Latest Trading Recommendation: Sell; do not continue holding

Why this action?
First, phase-specific dividends are being realized. Our earlier positioning in $WULF was based on short-term catalysts like tax policy adjustments and interest rate cut expectations. However, as market expectations have now been priced in, continued holding offers limited upside potential while increasing risk exposure.

Second, technical signals are weakening. The CoreX system indicates $WULF is nearing the upper Bollinger Band, with shrinking volume and converging MACD histogram bars—typically precursors to short-term trend reversals.

Friends, investing isn't about stubbornly holding on, but knowing when to lock in gains.
Therefore, this Friday, I recommend: Sell $WULF to secure existing profits and avoid further holding.

As the Federal Reserve enters a cycle of anticipated rate cuts, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield currently hovers around 4.22%, slightly below the previous day's 4.24% but still significantly higher than the 3.84% recorded a year ago. This monetary environment provides robust support for risk assets, particularly Bitcoin and related crypto stocks.

Take $MSTR as an example: As of August 29, its year-to-date gain has been in the 15%–20% range, maintaining a relatively robust rebound over the past few months. While it hasn't doubled as many anticipated, it has still outperformed numerous traditional sectors. Why? Because $MSTR is one of the world's largest publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin, and fluctuations in Bitcoin's price are almost directly reflected in its stock price.

This illustrates a key point: in an environment of falling interest rates and improved liquidity, some capital will shift away from low-yielding bonds toward more resilient risk assets. Bitcoin and its beneficiary stocks (such as $MSTR, $SBET, $BMNR, etc.) are the primary destinations for this capital.

In other words, $MSTR's rise is not solely driven by corporate performance but also reflects the resonance between the macro monetary environment and the crypto market.

Reviewing the performance of our stock strategy over the past month:
First, let's look at $SBET. Over the last three months, it has surged over +180%, significantly outperforming the broader market. The reasons are clear:
First, it is intrinsically linked to the Ethereum ecosystem, with market expectations for it continuing to rise;
Second, the company announced a share buyback program, which directly boosted investor confidence.

Next, $BMNR. This stock has gained +11% over the past month and surged over +450% year-to-date. Focused on cryptocurrency mining and related infrastructure while holding substantial digital assets, its share price remains highly correlated with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Friends, pay special attention to this:
Large capital favors cryptocurrencies due to their abundant liquidity, vast potential, and ability to capture excess returns during cyclical market movements;
Smaller capital tends to chase stable sectors like healthcare and consumer goods, as their lower volatility makes them easier to manage psychologically.

The trajectories of $SBET and $BMNR clearly demonstrate: The crypto space is attracting increasing amounts of major capital, while healthcare and consumer sectors remain more as safe havens for smaller investors.

Clearly, today marks the final trading day of August—Friday's closing bell. The overall market appears somewhat lackluster, which comes as no surprise. Based on my historical experience, as holidays approach, many Wall Street traders have already flown off to vacation destinations, naturally dampening market activity. Have you also observed this pattern?

In this environment, the afternoon session may see some pullbacks, but the market will likely remain range-bound overall. The true “new performance” will only be validated on the first trading day of September. Meanwhile, risk aversion is brewing, so U.S. Treasury-related assets like $TMF / $TLT are likely to see modest gains today.

But friends, beyond today's market recap,
I'd like to leave you with a thought experiment:
If you had $10,000 to invest, would you allocate it to high-growth crypto stocks like $SBET or $BMNR? Or would you place it in our CXON token to capture the growth dividends of the entire CoreX ecosystem? There's no right or wrong answer—the key is understanding which type of investor you are.

Friends, may this final day of August bring you not only insights and reflection, but also your own share of good fortune!

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Good Friday afternoon, community friends. I'm Bird Grant, co-founder of NextLeap Management Consulting, the "Profit Falcon" you all know.

Today's market resembles the first season of Game of Thrones, advancing into its most brutal phase: the arrest of Ned Stark and the Lannister family's complete takeover. This moment signifies not merely the shattering of order, but a complete transfer of power. In the halls of the Red Keep, the Stark banner is lowered, and everyone understands: the old rules are obsolete, and a new order is being forcibly rewritten.

In reality, this narrative finds its parallel in the case of Federal Reserve Governor Cooke. Trump has already asked the judge to dismiss her temporary injunction. At the same time, both the Justice Department and the White House assert that the president possesses the "justifiable" authority to remove her, a power virtually immune to judicial review. In other words, the discretionary power granted by Congress has become the new rule, challenging the old independence at this very moment.

It's as if, before Stark could be judged in court, more charges were piled upon him. Regardless of their validity, this moment transcends a mere personal case, it signifies a redistribution of power across the entire kingdom. Should Trump prevail, he would secure a majority on the Federal Reserve Board, much like the Lannister family seized the throne through scheming and influence.

When rules are torn apart in power struggles, what the market truly needs is a logical anchor.

During Blake Shaw's morning session, we reviewed August's market performance. The S&P and Nasdaq's gains reaffirmed that the bull market logic remains intact. He also analyzed the latest PCE data and Fed statements, noting that the probability of a September rate cut has risen to around 85%.

What struck me most was his analogy of steering the economy toward a "soft landing" through gradual easing, not slamming on the brakes, but easing off the gas pedal to ensure everyone arrives safely. This metaphor instantly made macroeconomic policy much easier to grasp.

Friends, history never unfolds in a vacuum. When old rules collapse, a new order is inevitably rewritten.

Before World War II, the British pound reigned as the dominant global currency. London stood as the epicenter of global capital, with the pound serving as the primary instrument for international settlements and reserves. Yet as Britain's economy was drained by war, the financial foundations of its empire gradually crumbled. After the war, the world economy lay in ruins, awaiting reconstruction. A new order had to be established. Thus emerged the Bretton Woods system: the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold, with other major currencies pegged to the dollar. Gold served as the visible anchor, while the dollar functioned as the pivotal fulcrum behind it. For the first time, global financial trust was systematically transferred to the United States.

By 1971, as the growth rate of gold reserves lagged far behind the demand for dollars driven by global trade expansion, Nixon announced the "decoupling of the dollar from gold," which led to the abrupt collapse of the gold standard. At that moment, the old order crumbled. Then in 1976, the IMF formally adopted reform proposals at the Jamaica Conference, confirming the legitimacy of floating exchange rates and establishing the Jamaica System. From then on, the dollar itself replaced gold as the new anchor of trust in global markets. It was not the result of natural market evolution, but a new order shaped by political forces and institutional arrangements.

Consider the 2008 financial crisis. The old regulatory framework proved utterly ineffective in the face of the subprime mortgage collapse. Banks closed overnight, and the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy made the world realize that the old rules were no longer sufficient. Thus, a new order emerged: the Basel Accords were upgraded, macroprudential policies were written into central bank textbooks, and capital adequacy, liquidity, and risk weights, these "institutionalized constraints", became the new anchors. In other words, the old rules were discarded, and new ones swiftly took their place.

Today, we find ourselves at a similar crossroads. If the Federal Reserve's independence continues to be undermined, and if monetary policy ceases to be guided solely by economic logic, potentially becoming subject to political directives, then the market must seek a new anchor of trust. For the financial system can never operate in a vacuum; it invariably requires an anchor that commands universal recognition.

It is the core logic behind the rise of digital assets. White House orders don't dictate its rules, nor do they depend on who occupies the Oval Office. Instead, transparency and consistency are ensured through algorithms and system operations; no politician can arbitrarily alter the rules. Precisely because the old order is fracturing, markets urgently seek a new anchor, and crypto assets emerge as the natural solution in this vacuum.

Bitcoin is called "digital gold" precisely because it doesn't care who occupies the White House; its scarcity is maintained by the hard cap of 21 million coins.

Ethereum continues to attract developers because its smart contract rules are immutable.

In other words, as the old order fractures politically, markets are seeking more stable and transparent anchors, and crypto assets are stepping into that role.

CXON embodies precisely this role. It has never been the kind of speculative asset that fluctuates wildly, sustained solely by emotional swings. Its value proposition operates on an entirely different logic, much like Apple's ecosystem, Google's data accumulation, or NVIDIA's performance-driven growth. CXON's foundation lies in the tangible operation of systems.

Imagine this: as the Core X system executes strategies, trains AI models, and connects across global markets daily, every action consumes CXON. Its presence manifests in every single call. In other words, it's the "ticket" to the new order: possess it, and you gain entry; lack it, and you're left watching others advance from the sidelines.

What's more intriguing is that this consumption is irreversible. Each invocation permanently burns a portion of CXON. Thus, it's not merely a tool for participation; it's gradually becoming a scarce "collectible." In the future, every CXON will carry a piece of history: which strategy execution consumed it, which cross-market access burned it.

Imagine if every early iPhone had been equipped with a unique serial number. The first-generation iPhone in your hands today wouldn't just be an old phone; it would be a "historical artifact" with collectible value. CXON operates similarly: the faster the system expands, the more tokens are burned, and the fewer circulate. The tokens you hold become not just tools, but tangible proof of the entire system's growth.

So friends, understand this: CXON's value is twofold:

On one hand, it holds utility value; without it, you cannot access the system.

On the other hand, it possesses collectible value, its deflationary mechanism ensures it grows increasingly scarce.

Market prices have already validated this logic.

The first wave of community pioneers purchased CXON at $1.17 between August 1st and 4th. At today's price of $2.60, their paper gains have reached +122%.

The second wave established positions at $1.33 before the Core X system upgrade, now achieving nearly a 96% gain.

In other words, both waves of investors are now positioned for double-digit returns. This outcome stems from the combined effects of genuine consumption driven by system calls, scarcity created by deflationary mechanisms, and price support fueled by capital inflows. The logic is crystal clear, and the returns are tangible.

Remember the $10 target price I mentioned last week, which is 60 days away?

Now, CXON is steadily approaching that target. With daily record-breaking price surges, has it already turned into a profit in your account?

Looking back at today's market action, you'll notice: indices are consolidating at elevated levels, while the AI sector faces pressure after NVIDIA's earnings fell short of expectations. Many stocks are stuck in a "one-day gain, three-day loss" pattern. Market sentiment resembles the crowd at Red Castle Plaza; everyone is holding their breath, hesitant to make a move.

Yet against this backdrop, CXON charted a completely different trajectory through its own logic. While the broader market moved sideways and hotspots scattered, it hit new highs. As traditional markets got bogged down by politics and expectations, it steadily unlocked value through call options and consumption.

It's the difference: the market relies on sentiment, while CXON is underpinned by value. That's why those who entered both waves now stand at double-digit gains, because you chose a logic immune to emotional manipulation. While others still hesitated and watched, our CXON was already delivering the answers.

History has repeatedly proven: when old anchors fail, new ones inevitably emerge. The dollar and gold jointly took over the pound's position; the dollar once replaced gold; the Basel system once took over fragmented regulation. Now, crypto assets are being thrust into the spotlight. Within this landscape, CXON has demonstrated through tangible adoption and scarce consumption that it is a "new anchor" delivering on its promise.

The crucial question is: Which side will you choose? Will you remain a bystander in a traditional order susceptible to political manipulation, or step into the new paradigm and become part of those holding the "pass"?

If you could go back to Apple in 2007, Google in 2004, or NVIDIA in 2015, would you seize that nascent opportunity? So today, as CXON's mechanism operates through real consumption and accumulated scarcity, how will you choose?

Tonight, ponder these two questions and submit your answers to your investment advisor for a chance to receive CXON token airdrop rewards!
The system is being rewritten, and order is being reshaped.

It reminds me of Jesus' disciples facing a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee, where raging winds and waves nearly capsized their boat. Everyone panicked, convinced their end had come. Yet Jesus slept peacefully in the stern. When they frantically roused Him, He said, "Be still, wind and sea." The storm instantly ceased.

The market is like that sea. The old order is being torn apart, with waves of news and accusations crashing in, indices fluctuating wildly at high levels, like giant waves threatening to swallow us whole. Many will be swept away by fear, convinced everything is unstable.

But the steadfast anchor lies not in emotion, but in the logic that brings stability. The call, consumption, and scarcity of CXON are like that command, "Be still, wind and waves", capable of writing clear answers even amidst chaos.

True wealth opportunities never emerge when order is stable, but only when rules collapse and chaos rebuilds.

Today is precisely such a moment. This Sunday, we continue to witness CXON's order reconstruction.
