According to BlockBeats, on July 20th, Hyperinsight monitoring showed that a whale that shorted both Micron Technology (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHX) at their respective highs 10 days prior closed out both short positions with a profit before the US market opened today. In the past hour, the whale covered its short positions with six limit buy orders. Both short positions had been held for approximately 11 days, as detailed below:

Micron Technology (MU): Shorted 4,000 contracts at an average entry price of $985.98, with an initial position of approximately $3.944 million; closed at an average price of $876.21, with a total transaction value of approximately $3.505 million, resulting in a profit of approximately $439,000.

SK Hynix (SKHX): Shorted 2,000 contracts at an average entry price of $1,502.06, with an initial position of approximately $3.004 million; closed at an average price of $1,211.10, with a closing transaction value of approximately $2.422 million, resulting in a profit of approximately $582,000.

The two short positions in storage tokens generated a combined profit of approximately $1.021 million. Meanwhile, the storage sector rebounded in pre-market trading today. As of press time, MU and SKHX on Hyperliquid were trading at $873.39 and $1223.60 respectively, up 2.94% and 2.90% from yesterday.

It's worth noting that after funds were first transferred into this address in June, a significant amount of trading effort was devoted to the HIP-4 World Cup prediction market. A total of 24 single-match bets were placed, primarily focusing on the outcome of each team's match. A fixed purchase of 1000 units was made in each market, with a total investment of approximately $4821. Ultimately, only 5 bets were successful, while 19 resulted in zero returns, a success rate of approximately 20.8%, but still yielded a profit of $178.99.

With the World Cup concluded, this address has suspended new prediction market betting and focused on covering its short positions in the storage sector before the US stock market opened today. Previously, aside from the two positions closed this time, there was only one short position in ZHIPU, which yielded a profit of approximately $36,000.

According to BlockBeats, on July 20th, citing South Korean media outlet hankyung, the South Korean KOSPI index fell 4.46% today, dropping below 6500 points since the end of April. In terms of capital flows, institutions saw a significant net outflow of 920 billion won, while individuals and foreign investors made net inflows of approximately 350 billion and 510 billion won respectively. The selling pressure was mainly concentrated in semiconductor stocks, influenced by leveraged products, derivatives, and quasi-procedural trading.

The media outlet conducted a survey and interviews with the heads of research centers at 18 securities firms. Half of them (9 people) predicted that the downside support level for the South Korean KOSPI would be between 6,000 and 6,500 points . The other 4 people believed that the support level would be between 6,500 and 7,000 points.

However, some believe the stock market bottom may be even lower . Some brokerages suggest the downside could be as low as 4600 points, while KB Securities predicts that in the worst-case scenario, the six-month support level could fall to 4500 points.

Regarding the main reasons for the adjustment, 10 research leaders cited concerns about the peak of the semiconductor industry (the sustainability of AI investment and doubts about memory demand) as their primary reason, while 7 others believed that leverage factors could not be ignored.

In addition, six securities firms (including Dodge, Samsung, Hana, IBK, SK, and KB) expect a possible rebound in July, but it will be difficult to replicate the strong performance of the first half of the year.
