$VIRTUAL – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Index ~0.559

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows approximately 3.5 million in short liquidations above the current price, slightly exceeding the nearly 3.2 million in long liquidations below. However, the nearest meaningful liquidity cluster sits closer beneath price, giving an initial long-liquidation sweep a modest edge.

📉 The nearest long-liquidation zone is concentrated around 0.553–0.549, with liquidity becoming denser across 0.545–0.533. The strongest bars appear near 0.549 and 0.535–0.537. Losing 0.553 would increase downside risk toward 0.549 and then 0.541–0.535.

📈 Above the market, short-liquidation density begins increasing across 0.567–0.579, particularly near 0.571–0.575. Larger clusters appear around 0.583–0.591, especially near 0.587. Holding above 0.579 could open the way toward 0.583–0.587.

🧭 The higher-probability scenario is an initial test of 0.553–0.549 because this liquidity sits closer. If the area holds and price recovers above 0.567, the next target could be 0.571–0.579. Conversely, losing 0.549 would increase the probability of a deeper long-liquidation sweep toward 0.541–0.535. Traders may wait for confirmation while maintaining an appropriate stop-loss.

Shein targets a $30–40 billion valuation for its Hong Kong IPO amid weaker profitability

🏢 Shein is targeting a valuation of $30–40 billion for its planned Hong Kong IPO, which could launch as early as mid-August 2026. This is significantly below its $98.2 billion valuation in 2022 and roughly $64 billion during 2023–2024.

📉 Valuation pressure has increased as 2025 revenue rose only 8% to $41.8 billion, while net profit fell 38.7% to $2.06 billion. The company also recorded a $99 million loss in the first quarter of 2026.

🌍 The removal of the US de minimis tax exemption, combined with stronger competition from Temu and Amazon, is weighing on Shein’s margins and growth outlook.

📊 The more conservative valuation suggests Shein is prioritizing a successful listing and stable post-IPO trading rather than defending its previous private-market valuation.

$NBIS – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Index ~227.1

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows approximately 3.5 million in long liquidations below the current price, exceeding nearly 2.7 million in short liquidations above. However, the largest nearby liquidity clusters sit immediately above price, giving an initial short-sweep scenario a modest edge.

📈 Short-liquidation density begins increasing across 227.5–231.5, with the strongest concentration around 228.5–229.5. Additional clusters appear near 233.5–237.5. Holding above 231.5 could open the way toward 233.5–235.5.

📉 Below the market, the nearest long-liquidation area sits around 225.9–223.9 but remains relatively limited. More meaningful clusters are located across 213.5–207.9 and especially near 205.9–201.9. Losing 223.9 would increase the risk of a deeper move toward these lower zones.

🧭 The higher-probability scenario is an initial test of 227.5–231.5. A breakout could trigger a short-liquidation sweep toward 233.5–237.5, while rejection followed by a loss of 223.9 would raise the probability of a long-liquidation sweep toward 213.5–207.9. Traders may wait for confirmation while maintaining an appropriate stop-loss.

Oil Prices Reverse Sharply as Hopes of Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Rise

🛢️ Oil prices gained more than 2% early on August 4, with Brent approaching 86 USD amid uncertainty surrounding U.S.–Iran talks and reports of another vessel incident near the Strait of Hormuz.

📉 The move quickly reversed after Qatar and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed optimism that an agreement to restore shipping through the strategic waterway could be reached soon. Brent later fell toward 80 USD, while WTI declined to around 76 USD.

⚖️ The session showed how sensitive oil prices remain to political statements, while actual shipping conditions through Hormuz have yet to show a clear improvement.

🔎 In the near term, confirmation of an agreement could keep prices under pressure, while failed talks or another security incident could rapidly restore the geopolitical risk premium.

$CBRS – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Index around 219.2

🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows that downside liquidity is currently stronger than upside liquidity. The cumulative long-liquidation clusters below the current price are visibly denser, while the short-liquidation pockets above are thinner and positioned farther away.

📉 The nearest liquidity support zone sits around 213.8–212.2, with 212.2 standing out as the most notable cluster. Below that, the 210.6–205.8 area also holds a significant concentration of long liquidations. If price loses 213.8, the market could be drawn toward 212.2 and then extend lower into 210.6–205.8.

📈 On the upside, there is no especially dense short-liq cluster sitting immediately above 219.2. Short-liquidation pressure becomes more visible around 233.4–235.0, followed by 238.2–241.4. This suggests that if price bounces, the near-term path higher could remain relatively open, but a stronger squeeze would likely require a push into those higher zones.

🧭 The short-term bias still leans toward a retest of the lower liquidity zones first, since those clusters are both closer and denser. However, if price can hold above 219.2 and extend toward 228.6, it may gradually aim for 233.4–235.0 next. It may be best to wait for price confirmation around the nearest liquidity clusters before judging the next move.

Palantir beats Q2 expectations as U.S. commercial revenue surges 149%

📊 Palantir reported second-quarter revenue of $1.935 billion, up 93% year over year and above estimates of around $1.80–$1.81 billion. EPS reached $0.41, exceeding expectations of $0.33–$0.35.

📈 The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to $8.150–$8.158 billion, representing growth of about 82%. Shares gained around 12% in after-hours trading as investors responded positively to the results and updated outlook.

⚠️ However, Palantir’s elevated valuation means the stock remains sensitive to its ability to sustain growth and deliver on guidance in the coming quarters.

Aramco beats expectations as higher oil prices and infrastructure advantages support earnings

📈 Aramco reported second-quarter adjusted net income of $33.4 billion, up 33% year over year and above market expectations, reflecting the benefit of stronger oil prices during heightened U.S.–Iran tensions.

🛢️ A key advantage was the 1,200-kilometer East-West pipeline, which helped the company maintain production and exports despite disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

💰 Aramco announced a base dividend of $21.9 billion, while free cash flow reached $12.3 billion. Its balance sheet remained stable despite the gearing ratio rising slightly to 6.2%.

🔎 The third-quarter outlook will depend heavily on geopolitical developments. Lower tensions and weaker oil prices could reduce earnings, while prolonged disruption would continue to favor Aramco’s low production costs and flexible export infrastructure.

U.S. Manufacturing Accelerates Sharply, but Price Pressures Remain a Key Risk

🏭 The ISM Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.6 in July, beating the 54.0 forecast and reaching its highest level since May 2022. The improvement was broad-based, with new orders, production, order backlogs, and exports all remaining in expansion territory.

👷 The Employment Index climbed to 52.8, returning to expansion for the first time in 33 months and suggesting that hiring demand in the manufacturing sector is beginning to recover. Low customer inventories may also provide room for companies to increase output further.

⚠️ However, the Prices Index remained elevated at 71.1, while supplier delivery times continued to lengthen. This indicates that input costs and supply-chain pressures have not fully eased.

📈 The report supports the U.S. growth outlook and may provide modest support for the dollar, but it could also make the Fed more cautious about cutting interest rates. Gold and bonds may face mild pressure if markets reduce expectations for monetary easing.
