ambcryptoPublished on 2025-09-10Last updated on 2025-09-11

Key Takeaways

A potential rally will only be possible if AVAX closes the daily candle above the $26.75 level. However, as profit-taking rises, the altcoin’s rally might be in jeopardy.

After multiple rejections since the beginning of 2025, Avalanche [AVAX] has finally cleared its long-awaited hurdle, hinting at a potential reversal. This comes after the token climbed 4.5% over the past 24 hours.

At press time, AVAX hovered near the $26.75 level, with strong participation from traders and investors. Data from CoinMarketCap showed that AVAX’s 24-hour trading volume jumped 50% in the last 24 hours.

The rising trading volume, along with the price breaching a key level, shows strong upside momentum in the asset and hints at strong interest from crypto enthusiasts.

Mapping Avalanche’s upcoming levels

AMBCrypto’s technical analysis found that AVAX’s daily candle has broken out of the key resistance level at $26.60.

This breakout comes after eight rejections since January 2025, which has now opened the path for a massive price uptick.

The current price action suggests that AVAX’s breakout can only be validated if the daily candle closes above the $26.75 level.

If this happens, there is a strong possibility that the asset could gain 20% upside momentum, pushing the price toward $32. If it fails, history may repeat itself and the price could face downside momentum.

At press time, the Average Directional Index (ADX) on the chart held a value of 15, suggesting that AVAX was in a weak trend. Typically, when such a value appears on the chart during a breakout or breakdown, it fails.

On-chain data hints mixed signals

Investors appeared to be booking profits as AVAX rose. On-chain analytics tool CoinGlass revealed that over $4.86 million worth of AVAX had moved into exchanges over the past 24 hours.

This consistent inflow of assets into exchanges hinted at a potential dump and may slow down the asset’s upside momentum.

On the other hand, traders seemed to be following the current trend by betting strongly on long positions.

At press time, AVAX’s major liquidation levels were at $25.48 on the lower side and $27.36 on the upper side.

At these levels, traders have built $23.75 million worth of long positions and $6.87 million worth of short positions, making it clear that bulls are dominating the asset.

The Semiconductor Industry's Most Obscure Chokepoint Material: It Has Multiplied in Price Unnoticed, and China Just Banned Its Export

"Helium: The Silent Choke Point in Semiconductors" Helium, despite being the universe's second most abundant element, is critically scarce on Earth. It cannot be synthesized artificially and escapes Earth's gravity once released, making it a non-renewable resource. Yet, it is indispensable for advanced semiconductor manufacturing, requiring ultra-high purity (99.9999%) for processes like wafer etching, leak detection, and thermal management in lithography tools, with no viable substitutes. This low-profile resource, whose price has doubled unnoticed, suddenly gained attention when China imposed an export ban on July 10th. The ban is a response to a severe global shortage triggered months earlier. In March, missile attacks damaged the world's largest helium production hub in Qatar's Ras Laffan, halting a third of global supply with repairs expected to take 3-5 years. Concurrently, Russia tightened export controls, and the US sold off its federal helium reserve. Approximately 200 specialized transport containers, each worth ~$1 million, were stranded with perishable cargo. Global spot prices skyrocketed, and chipmakers like TSMC warned of potential impacts. China, which imports over 84% of its helium (primarily from Qatar and Russia), faces a severe squeeze. Despite being helium-poor, China has developed domestic extraction technology over five years, processing byproduct gases from LNG plants to produce ultra-pure helium. Domestic output, while still only covering less than 20% of demand, enabled the recent export ban aimed at securing domestic supply for its own expanding chip industry. The industry now faces "Helium Shortage 5.0." With key global sources constrained for years, this invisible gas—once wasted on party balloons—has become a critical, geopolitically charged bottleneck for chips, healthcare (MRI machines), and beyond, forcing the world to finally treat it as the finite strategic resource it is.

Early Investor of Unitree Bets on a Brain-Computer Interface Company

"Wabo Technologies, a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, has secured new funding from Vertex Ventures (under Temasek), Hongtai Fund, Chengdu Future Industry Fund, and Huifengda Capital. Vertex Ventures is known for its early bet on Unitree Robotics. Inspired by the sci-fi film "Avatar," founder Zhang Xingzhi has pursued human-machine interaction for over a decade. He established Wabo in late 2025, coinciding with China's push for BCI as a future industry. Unlike companies focused solely on medical hardware, Wabo positions itself as a model company. Its core mission is to develop a "Human Neural Intent Model" that decodes EEG, EMG, and behavioral signals to understand a user's goals, confirmations, corrections, and stop intentions before physical action, translating them into standardized control signals for machines, robots, or smart devices. The young, full-stack team, backed by academic collaborators from Tianjin University and Fudan University, quickly attracted investors. The company had previously raised a seed round from Ceyuan Capital. Investors were impressed by Wabo's systematic capabilities in data collection, signal processing, and engineering, seeing potential beyond a single hardware product toward a reusable layer of human intent interpretation. Applications span medical rehabilitation, smart homes, embodied AI, and even space exploration, with Wabo partnering with Tianjin University on pioneering "space BCI" research. Wabo plans a dual-headquarters strategy, with Shanghai focusing on high-end R&D and model development, and Chengdu handling hardware, product development, and supply chain. The BCI sector in China is heating up, with over 30 financing deals in early 2026. Zhang believes future competition will center on who can build a sustainable data-model-scenario loop. He predicts industry consolidation within three years, with only companies that master this闭环 surviving. The vision from "Avatar" is inching closer to reality."

ChangXin Technology: A Cyclical Stock Standing Atop the Cycle Peak

Changxin Technology: A Cyclical Stock at the Peak On July 27, 2026, Changxin Technology topped the A-share market with a market capitalization of 3.28 trillion yuan, surging 465% on its first trading day. The company, which lost 16.3 billion yuan in 2023, reported an estimated net profit of 50-57 billion yuan for the first half of 2026. Its dramatic reversal mirrors the volatile DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) cycle. The DRAM industry is inherently cyclical, with booms and busts every 3-4 years. This is due to product standardization and a significant time lag in supply adjustment. When prices rise, manufacturers expand capacity, but new production takes 2-3 years to come online, often leading to oversupply and price crashes when demand cools. Changxin's performance perfectly tracks this cycle. It recorded deep losses in 2023-2024 during the industry downturn, turned its first annual profit in 2025, and saw profits skyrocket in Q1 2026. This surge is primarily price-driven. The AI boom has led major players like Samsung and SK Hynix to shift 70-80% of new capacity to high-margin HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), creating a severe shortage and price explosion in general-purpose DRAM markets where Changxin competes. However, a massive global capacity expansion is underway. The top three manufacturers have announced nearly $70 billion in capital expenditure for 2026. Changxin itself plans to expand from three to seven 12-inch wafer fabs. This investment will translate into significant new supply in 2-3 years. While DRAM prices are expected to remain high through 2026-2027, price growth is already slowing, and a potential downturn is forecast for around 2028 as new capacity ramps up. A key challenge for Changxin is catching up in the critical HBM segment. While it has delivered HBM3 samples, leaders are already mass-producing more advanced HBM3E. Success in HBM is crucial for gaining true cyclical resilience. In conclusion, Changxin is a commendable company that has broken foreign monopolies in DRAM. Its long-term growth narrative—driven by import substitution and AI—is valid. Yet, its current valuation of 5-6x forward P/E, typical for a cyclical stock at its peak, suggests much future growth is already priced in. AI may extend the current cycle but cannot eliminate the industry's inherent volatility. For investors, the critical question is preparedness for the inevitable downturn when the cycle turns.

SK Hynix's Most Profitable Quarter Ever: Why Did It Still "Miss Expectations"?

SK H力士 reported record-breaking financial results for Q2 2026. Revenue reached 79.32 trillion KRW (up 257% YoY), while operating profit surged to 60.54 trillion KRW (up 557% YoY). Despite this, the figures fell slightly short of market expectations, causing initial volatility in its stock price. Key factors behind the "miss" include a high proportion of HBM sales tied to long-term supply agreements, which limited profit elasticity during a period of rapid price increases for standard DRAM and NAND memory. The company's outlook remains optimistic. Management forecasts continued strong demand growth for DRAM and NAND in 2026, with no observed slowdown in AI-related investments. Progress on HBM4 shipments and next-generation product development remains on schedule. Furthermore, SK H力士 plans to maintain high capital expenditures, indicating confidence in future AI-driven storage demand. The market reaction highlights a broader debate: investors are less focused on past profits and more on how to price future growth. Bulls emphasize the ongoing AI infrastructure expansion, while bears express concerns about valuation and the sustainability of capital spending. The company's performance and strategy will continue to be a key focus in the semiconductor sector.
