The closing trend of the US stock market on December 18th is quite interesting— the three major indices all rose, with the technology sector becoming the absolute main focus. Tesla surged over 3%, Amazon and Meta also followed suit, each rising more than 2%. Nvidia and Google followed closely, with gains approaching 2%, while Microsoft and Broadcom saw modest increases, both over 1%.

The real highlight was in the storage and semiconductor sectors. Micron Technology led the charge, with a gain of over 10%, SanDisk and Western Digital rose more than 6% and 5% respectively, and equipment manufacturers like KLA and ASML also performed well. This collective strength in chips and storage reflects the market’s optimistic outlook on the technology innovation cycle.

However, not all sectors were up. Oil and gas, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals performed flat or even pulled back today. On the other hand, the Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index rose slightly by 0.97%, and most popular Chinese concept stocks ended in the red. It seems the market is still reallocating risk, with a clear preference for technology and cyclical goods over traditional energy and some emerging market sectors.

Micron's surge has scared me, storage chips are so strong? I feel like I need to reassess the semiconductor cycle. --- Technology has made a comeback, while energy and the crypto world have been ruthlessly cast aside... the shift in momentum has been quite fast. --- TSL up 3%, Micron up 10%, everyone is celebrating... while my holdings are still stagnating. --- With the collective explosion in storage, is this the real cycle coming or just a temporary wave? I'm a bit uncertain. --- Chinese concept stocks are following the rise, finally not completely abandoned... but the momentum is indeed a bit flat. --- Energy and coins have been neglected, it seems the market really only believes in chips now. --- Micron is galloping ahead... why do I feel like it's sucking the lifeblood out of other chip stocks? --- This buying point looks a bit dangerous, will the tech rise so fast lead to a flash crash? --- The storage zone is rising together, does it feel like the next windfall is right here? --- Oil, gas, and precious metals have been cast aside, it must be tough for traditional investors.

Micron rides alone to become a legend, the chip storage story is truly compelling The cycle of technological innovation is about to take off, the capital rotation is too obvious Cryptocurrency has been neglected, can you still tolerate it? Stay tuned for the follow-up Storage is the future, right? Micron's ten-point increase is quite remarkable The energy sector is taking a hit, it's time to step up and take the blame

The surge in chip storage is really strong, Micron is taking off directly --- Energy and the crypto world are a bit cold today, funds have all moved to tech --- Tesla, Nvidia, and Meta are all celebrating together, this rhythm feels a bit off --- Here we go again, tech stocks are becoming the savior... when will this cycle end --- Micron's over 10% increase, SanDisk and Western Digital are also excited, are chips really about to rise? --- Can Chinese concept stocks still close green? That's a bit surprising --- There is indeed potential in storage chips, but how long it can last is still uncertain --- Oil and gas are so miserable, is it because funds really have no confidence or just a temporary adjustment

Memory chip stocks are on the rise, Micron is soaring... Feels like the AI cycle is coming? --- Energy and the crypto world have been abandoned again, really, it’s always like this --- Wait, Tesla is also rising? Did Elon Musk tweet again? --- A 10% increase for Micron, now that’s a real highlight, everything else is weak --- Chinese concept stocks are still struggling to survive, when will they turn around? --- Storage chips are strong this round, it feels like next quarter’s reports will look great --- Once again, a solo dance by tech, are traditional energy sources completely finished? --- Cryptocurrency is being cold-shouldered, I knew it, this market is all about chasing the new and abandoning the old --- Micron up over 10%? There must be big news, or is it just rising like this? --- The market is betting on AI, this logic makes sense

The chip wave is really strong this time, Micron has also risen to the top, finally it's storage's turn to breathe Lately, why does it feel like crypto has been neglected again? Technology is really draining blood quite harshly Tesla is rising again? Is this rhythm about to trigger another hype A storage breakout might be the next cycle signal, gotta keep an eye on it Is it true that Micron has risen by 10%? Why didn't I catch up? Missed it again Technology dominates alone, traditional energy has been completely left behind, it feels like the landscape is really changing If this truly marks the start of an innovation cycle, those who endured earlier will be laughing Are Chinese concepts also rising? Is that a rebound or what? Always feels out of place Wait, is crypto still being suppressed? Really? Shouldn't it be rising by now Asml, KLA, these equipment stocks are riding the trend, indicating that underlying demand has indeed improved
