Market Signal Briefing

On-chain data shows Bitcoin is currently retesting a historically significant level that has often decided the course of the cryptocurrency's price. Bitcoin Is Retesting The 0.85 Supply Quantile In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about how Bitcoin is retesting a level that has historically been a “make-or-break” one for the asset.

Crypto analyst @BullrunnersHQ on X social media has issued a new market update, suggesting that XRP may be on the verge of a major rally as traditional markets reach record highs. His latest technical breakdown links the recent strength in the NASDAQ to potential moves within the crypto sector, warning that the “unthinkable” is about to occur for XRP soon. The analyst highlighted that XRP’s price structure and broader crypto signals are aligning for a decisive move that could determine whether the current bull market cycle continues or starts to reverse.

XRP Set For Unthinkable Upside Rally 
According to @BullrunnersHQ, the equity market is approaching critical levels that could dictate the next major trend in the crypto market and XRP price. Despite the crypto market struggling to reach similar highs, XRP remains firmly above the $2.50 range. He described this setup as “the unthinkable” moment for XRP, where the asset could finally break free from its prolonged consolidation and rally by “multiple hundreds of percent.”

Notably, @BullrunnersHQ asserts that XRP’s price structure remains technically healthy despite market volatility. The analyst also noted that the overall crypto market cap and sentiment indicators have improved, with the Fear & Greed Index climbing to 42 from mid-October lows. He further emphasized that Bitcoin continues to hold comfortably above its 50-week EMA, showing a pattern consistent with previous rallies that led to new peaks.

The analyst added that BTC’s new local high around $116,000 and a bullish crossover between the 10 EMA and 20 EMA suggest that momentum is returning to risk assets, setting the stage for XRP to outperform potentially. Notably, this period mirrors earlier market cycles where Bitcoin’s consolidation above key levels triggered explosive altcoin rallies.

XRP, which has held its support much longer than most cryptocurrencies in the market, could climb to a new all-time high once momentum shifts. 

To support his analysis, @BullrunnersHQ has referenced crypto market expert and Chartist Peter Brandt’s discussion about whether the NASDAQ’s recent price action represents a breakaway or an exhaustion gap. While Brandt leans cautiously bearish from an equities standpoint, @BullerunnersHQ remains confident that even if stocks slightly pull back or halt temporarily, money could still rotate into cryptocurrencies, potentially fueling XRP’s next major rally. 

Analyst Warns Of Exhaustion Gap And End Of Bull Market
In his analysis, @BullrunnersHQ also referenced crypto trader Abdullah, who believes that the NASDAQ’s rally also shows signs of an exhaustion gap, a signal often seen near the end of a bull market uptrend. Absullah points to overbought readings in both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic RSI on the weekly timeframe, indicating that the markets could be nearing the end of their current bull market phase. 

@BullrunnersHQ agreed that the market may be nearing exhaustion but reiterated that XRP’s position offers more upside potential compared to other assets. He also emphasized that Bitcoin must continue to hold between $107,000 and $109,000 on the weekly timeframe. A failure to do so could signal the end of the broader bull market.

Jump Crypto's conversion of $205 million in Solana to Bitcoin has caused a significant dip in SOL's price, reflecting broader market trends.

In a notable shift within the cryptocurrency markets, Jump Crypto, a prominent market maker and trading platform, has exchanged $205 million worth of Solana (SOL) for Bitcoin (BTC). This strategic move, executed on October 30, 2025, has been confirmed by onchain data and has had a pronounced impact on Solana's market value, according to CoinMarketCap.

Details of the Transaction
The transaction involved the transfer of approximately 1.1 million Solana tokens to Galaxy Digital, a leading financial services and investment management company. These tokens, valued at $205 million at the time of the transaction, were swapped for 2,455 Bitcoin, which were valued at approximately $265 million. This conversion reflects Jump Crypto's strategic repositioning within the volatile crypto landscape.

Market Impact
The immediate aftermath of this transaction saw Solana's price drop to $180, a reflection of the broader weakness observed across the cryptocurrency market. This decline underscores the sensitivity of digital asset prices to large-scale transactions and the influence of major market players like Jump Crypto.

Broader Market Context
This move by Jump Crypto is indicative of a larger trend where institutional players are adjusting their portfolios amidst fluctuating market conditions. Bitcoin, often viewed as a more stable and established asset, seems to be a preferred choice for investors seeking to mitigate risk during periods of market instability.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, transactions of this magnitude are likely to have significant ripple effects, influencing both individual asset prices and broader market dynamics. Observers will be keenly watching how such strategic decisions by major players like Jump Crypto affect the long-term trajectory of both Solana and Bitcoin.

Ethereum (ETH) remains under pressure, trading below the $4,000 mark as bulls attempt to reclaim control following weeks of post-crash uncertainty. The sharp sell-off on October 10 not only flushed leveraged positions across the market but also disrupted the uptrend ETH had been building throughout the summer.

Since then, price action has weakened, and momentum has shifted toward the downside, raising concerns among analysts that a deeper correction could unfold if buyers fail to defend key demand levels in the days ahead.

Despite these technical challenges, on-chain and institutional flow data tell a different story beneath the surface. Large-scale investors — including funds, corporate entities, and crypto-native institutions — continue to accumulate ETH during the pullback.

The divergence between price weakness and institutional accumulation creates a pivotal setup for Ethereum. If ETH can stabilize and reclaim the $4,000 threshold, it may re-ignite bullish momentum. But failure to hold support could open the door to further downside before a sustainable recovery emerges.

Bitmine Adds ETH as Institutional Accumulation Climbs
According to data tracked by Lookonchain, institutional player Bitmine has continued its aggressive accumulation strategy. Purchasing 44,036 ETH — worth approximately $166 million — during the recent market pullback.

This purchase lifts Bitmine’s total holdings to roughly 3.16 million ETH, valued at around $12.15 billion, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the largest Ethereum holders globally. Such sizeable buying activity during periods of price weakness highlights a notable divergence between institutional behavior and short-term market sentiment.

While retail traders and leveraged participants may be shaken by Ethereum’s inability to reclaim the $4,000 level, long-horizon buyers appear unfazed. For them, price dips represent accumulating opportunities rather than reasons for concern.

This duality is becoming increasingly evident across the market: spot inflows, exchange outflows, and whale accumulation metrics all point to growing long-term conviction, even as the chart reflects hesitation and downward pressure.

This divergence underscores a familiar pattern in crypto market structure. Price action often lags underlying fundamentals, particularly during transitional phases where macro catalysts and liquidity shifts are still being digested. Ethereum remains structurally supported by rising institutional participation, increasing staking demand, and expanding Layer-2 ecosystems — all of which strengthen its long-term investment thesis.

Ethereum Tests Key Support
Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $3,847, testing a critical support zone after failing to hold above $4,000 and rejecting from the $4,200 resistance area earlier this week.

The daily chart shows ETH breaking below both the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, signaling weakening momentum and a shift toward a more defensive market posture. This breakdown places increased pressure on bulls to defend the $3,800 region — a level that has repeatedly acted as a pivot point over the past two months.

If ETH loses this support, the next meaningful demand zone lies near $3,500, followed by the 200-day moving average around $3,200, which would serve as a deeper structural retest within the longer-term uptrend. For now, however, ETH remains above its long-term trend line, meaning the broader bullish structure is intact despite short-term weakness.

On the upside, bulls need to reclaim $4,000 and then $4,150–$4,200 to revive bullish momentum and break the series of lower highs forming since September. Until that happens, price action favors consolidation and caution. With macro shifts underway and institutional accumulation rising, Ethereum’s chart suggests a wait-and-see phase, where holding support becomes crucial before any renewed upside attempt.

Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin gains powerful momentum as Bitpanda adds the dollar-backed token, expanding its global reach and reinforcing Ripple's growing dominance in cross-border payments through transparent, compliant, and highly interoperable blockchain infrastructure.

Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has reported a remarkable financial turnaround, posting a $2.8 billion net profit for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a $340 million loss during the same period last year. This dramatic recovery underscores the growing strength of the company's Bitcoin-focused treasury model, which has become a defining case study for digital asset integration into corporate finance.

On-chain data shows the Dogecoin whales have participated in a significant amount of selling recently, a potential reason behind the memecoin’s decline.

Dogecoin Whales Shed 440 Million Tokens Over Last 72 Hours
As pointed out by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, whales have reduced their Dogecoin supply over the past few days. The indicator cited by the analyst is the “Supply Distribution” from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which tells us about the total amount of DOGE that investors belonging to a given coin range are holding as a whole.

In the context of the current topic, “whales” are the traders of interest. Their wallet range is typically defined as 10 million to 100 million tokens. At the current DOGE exchange rate, the lower end converts to $1.8 million and the upper end to $18 million. Given the scale, only big-money holders would be able to qualify for the group.

Such investors can carry some degree of influence in the market, so movements related to them can be worth watching. Their behavior doesn’t always impact the memecoin’s price, but it can still be revealing about the sentiment among this key cohort.

Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the Dogecoin Supply Distribution of the whales over the last few months:

Looks like the value of the metric has plunged in recent days | Source: @ali_charts on X
As displayed in the above graph, the Dogecoin whales have seen a sharp decline in their supply recently, indicating that these humongous holders have been distributing. In total, the group has shed 440 million DOGE (worth $81.4 million) from its collective holdings during the last 72 hours. Alongside this trend, the DOGE price has slid down, implying that the whale selloff may have had a role to play.

The Supply Distribution of this cohort could now be monitored, as where it goes next could potentially contain hints about what’s coming for the cryptocurrency’s price.

Earlier in the week, Martinez shared another chart related to Dogecoin, this one showing a technical analysis (TA) pattern that DOGE has been trading inside on the 12-hour timeframe.

The Ascending Channel that the 12-hour price of DOGE has been following over the last few months | Source: @ali_charts on X
From the graph, it’s visible that the pattern in question is an Ascending Channel, a type of consolidation channel that appears whenever an asset trades between two parallel trendlines sloped upward.

The support line of the channel is located at $0.18. In the post, the analyst noted that holding this level could be key for DOGE. Following the whale selling, the coin is now retesting the level, with a brief fall below it even happening on Thursday, before the memecoin recovered back above it on Friday.

“If bulls defend it, next targets: $0.25 and $0.33,” said Martinez.

DOGE Price
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.185, down almost 6% in the last seven days.

Bitwise’s filing came after the launch of other crypto-spot ETFs earlier this week. These ETFs did not include ‘delaying amendment’ language, allowing them to launch despite the US government shutdown. Canary Funds also filed an S-1 amendment, removing the ‘delaying amendment’ terms this week. The Canary Funds XRP-spot ETF could be the next crypto ETF to debut on Wall Street, potentially giving it a first-to-market advantage.

For context, ETF issuers are filing amended S-1s to remove a ‘delaying amendment’ clause that gives the SEC control over when the ETFs could launch. Without a ‘delaying amendment,’ registrations can become auto-effective, allowing ETFs to begin trading after a 20-day waiting period.

Here’s What Traders Need to Look Out for in the Coming Days
Exchanges must approve issuers’ 8-A filings before XRP-spot ETFs can launch after the 20-day waiting period. Issuers file 8-As with the exchanges to get listing approvals, allowing them to trade on the exchanges. The Bitwise and Canary Funds XRP ETFs have filed 8-As with the Nasdaq, meaning the Nasdaq must approve the paperwork before the ETFs can begin trading.

However, the timelines could vary if the US government reopens before the 20-day waiting period. The SEC has the authority to review the filings during the waiting period and could:

Issue comments or questions to the issuers about the filings.
Request amendments to address any issues.
Substantial amendments could reset the 20-day clock.
Expedite the launches if there are no issues with the amended filings.

We previously speculated that XRP-spot ETF issuers could remove ‘delaying amendment’ language, given the US Senate impasse.

Market Expectations and Institutional Inflows
Market experts expect substantial inflows into XRP-spot ETFs, potentially sending XRP to new highs. Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg has been increasingly optimistic about demand for XRP-spot ETFs. He recently increased his XRP-spot ETF inflow forecast, stating:

“I may have been a little bearish. We’re going to hold to that number. If it hits that number, at least I’ll be right, and if it’s $10 billion, then I’m still right because we got at least $5 billion. If we saw that kind of inflow, I think it would definitely be in the top 20 ETFs of all time, if not in the top 10.”

Notably, the REX-Ospreys XRP ETF has reported total net inflows of $124.9 million since launch. While the ETF is a hybrid, robust demand suggests strong institutional appetite for XRP-spot ETFs, reinforcing McClurg’s bullish outlook.

Technical Outlook: Key XRP Price Levels
XRP gained 2.84% on Friday, October 31, partially reversing the previous day’s 4.4% loss to close at $2.5094. The token outperformed the broader crypto market, which advanced 1.19%.

Despite snapping a four-day losing streak, XRP remained below the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), indicating a bearish bias. However, several events could change the narrative.

Key technical levels to watch include:

Support levels: $2.35, $2.2, $2.0, and $1.9.
50-day EMA resistance: $2.6606.
200-day EMA resistance: $2.6077.
Resistance levels: $2.62, $2.8, $3.0, and $3.66.

Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim the $110,000 level after a sharp downside move pressured markets and triggered renewed volatility across the crypto landscape. While this pullback has been uncomfortable for short-term traders, it remains modest compared to the October 10 liquidation crash, which forced out excessive leverage and marked one of the most aggressive sell-offs of the year.

Despite the short-term turbulence, Bitcoin remains within its broader consolidation range — but the market now enters a critical phase where direction must soon resolve. Over the coming weeks, macro developments, liquidity flows, and investor positioning will likely determine whether the next impulse is upward or downward.

Fresh CryptoQuant data shows that since July 1, long-term holders (LTHs) have been steadily distributing coins, selling into strength as BTC approached and later tested all-time highs. This supply overhang has contributed to muted upside momentum, even as demand has proven strong enough to absorb much of the selling.

Bitcoin Market Still Absorbs Supply
According to analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin continues to navigate a complex supply-demand environment defined by steady profit-taking from long-term holders (LTHs). Since July 1, LTHs have distributed roughly 810,000 BTC, reducing their total holdings from 15.5 million to 14.6 million BTC.

This represents one of the most significant distribution phases in the current cycle — a clear indication that seasoned holders have been locking in profits after years of accumulation and strategic positioning.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Accumulation / Distribution Supply | Source: Axel Adler
What makes this dynamic particularly striking is that Bitcoin has printed new all-time highs twice during this distribution phase, demonstrating that market demand has remained robust enough to absorb the substantial supply being offloaded.

Historically, similar phases of distribution from long-term holders often accompany major cycle inflection points, as capital shifts from early investors to new participants entering the market.

Adler emphasizes that while this absorption reflects market strength, it also sets a ceiling on aggressive upside momentum. As long as long-term holders continue to realize profits, the path higher is likely to remain gradual and choppy rather than explosively parabolic. Strong demand is supporting prices and preventing deeper corrections — but supply pressure is simultaneously preventing sustained breakout acceleration.

The takeaway is clear: Bitcoin is not lacking demand; it is working through supply once long-term distribution slows — whether due to exhaustion or macro reinforcement — upside potential could expand meaningfully. Until then, price action may continue to grind sideways with upside attempts meeting resistance as supply transitions to new owners.

Bitcoin Holds Above Key MA
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $109,900, attempting to stabilize after a recent downside move pushed price back toward the 200-day moving average (red line) — a key long-term support level that currently sits near $108,000.

This region has become an important defense line for bulls, structuring the lower boundary of Bitcoin’s consolidation range. Each time BTC has approached this zone over the past month, buyers have stepped in, signaling continued demand despite short-term weakness.

However, reclaiming momentum remains a challenge. BTC continues to struggle below the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, which have converged overhead and now act as layered resistance between $112,000 and $114,000.

A sustained break above this cluster is required to re-establish bullish momentum and set up another attempt toward the $117,500 resistance — the cycle’s key Point of Control and the level that has repeatedly capped upside moves since summer.

If Bitcoin loses the $108,000 support, a deeper correction toward $105,000–$103,000 becomes likely, where liquidity and previous reaction levels sit. For now, the technical picture remains neutral-to-cautious: bulls are holding essential support, but the burden remains on buyers to reclaim lost moving averages and flip market structure back in their favor.

, /PRNewswire/ -- MaxsMaking Inc. (Nasdaq: MAMK) ("MaxsMaking" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of customized consumer goods with a focus on advanced technology and innovation, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

First Half of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Summary

Revenue was $12.40 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 27.43% from $9.73 million for the same period of last year.
Gross profit was $1.34 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $1.98 million for the same period of last year.
Gross profit margin was 10.82% for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to 20.36% for the same period of last year.
Net income was $0.18 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to net income of $0.98 million for the same period of last year.
Basic and diluted earnings per A share were $0.02 for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.13 for the same period of last year.

Mr. Xiaozhong Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MaxsMaking, remarked: "In the first half of fiscal year 2025, we navigated a shifting business environment by scaling our domestic sales to secure stable revenue growth and strengthened market position, through various proactive initiatives such as trade-fair participation, targeted promotional events, expanded direct marketing and key-customer negotiations, and competitive pricing strategies. At the same time, we continued to diversify into Oceania, South America, and Africa to offset market headwinds in Asia, North America, and Europe. During this period, our total revenue increased by 27.43%, driven by a 51.89% surge in domestic sales and new customer acquisitions from the emerging markets. As global disruptions and uncertainties gradually subside, we believe our solid sales base will support a strong rebound, providing a renewed springboard for future growth.

"During this period, we increased research and development spending by 53.50% to advance production process technologies, customization capabilities. To address rising material, labor and bad-debt costs, we adopted a volume-first strategy to expand market share and better absorb fixed costs. While this temporarily compressed our margins, we view it as a strategic short-term trade-off that does not diminish our underlying profitability potential."

"Furthermore, our successful Nasdaq IPO in July 2025 has strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced our capital resources to pursue additional strategic initiatives and market opportunities. As personalization and customization evolve from niche segments into mainstream consumer trends, we believe that our business is well positioned to leverage flexible pricing, expand value-added services, and enter a virtuous growth cycle, supported by our diversified market reach, growing product suite, accumulated technological expertise, and enhanced capital base."

"Looking ahead, our current strategy, anchored in continuous product and technology innovation, will remain as the foundation for sustainable growth and global expansion, particularly in the North America market. We will continue to invest in R&D while maintaining strict cost-efficiency measures to execute this strategy efficiently, supporting long-term shareholder value, even amid a macroeconomic environment of both headwinds and tailwinds."

First Half of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue was $12.40 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 27.43% from $9.73 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to an approximately $3.91 million increase in sales in mainland China, and partially offset by the decrease of approximately $1.18 million in sales in Asia (excluding mainland China). The increase in revenue in mainland China and the decrease in other Asian markets were mainly due to uncertainties in overseas markets, where customers' demand and consumption prospects remained relatively weak, leading the Company to strengthen its domestic sales initiatives, such as increasing participation in trade fairs and promotional events, expanding direct marketing and business negotiations with key customers, and adopting more competitive pricing to strengthen its market position in mainland China.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue was $11.06 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 42.70% from $7.75 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in raw material cost and labor cost, as well as the effect of the Company's strategic shift to a volume-driven model, which resulted in higher sales volume and corresponding higher production expenses.

Gross Profit  and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit was $1.34 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $1.98 million for the same period of last year.

Gross profit margin was 10.82% for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to 20.36% for the same period of last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due (i) an increase in raw material cost and labor cost, and (ii) the Company's strategic shift toward a volume-driven model, which prioritizes market share growth over near-term margins.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $1.17 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 27.01% from $0.92 million for the same period of last year.

Selling expenses were $0.29 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing a decrease of 4.3% from $0.31 million for the same period of last year. The decrease is mainly due to the reduction in employee salaries.
General and administrative expenses were $0.42 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 32.37% from $0.31 million for the same period of last year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the bad debt expense of approximately $95,000, as a result of the slow collection of accounts receivables.
Research and development expenses were $0.46 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 53.50% from $0.30 million for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the research and development of five projects related to technologies for production processes.

Net Income

Net income was $0.18 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.98 million for the same period of last year.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per A share were $0.02 for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.13 for the same period of last year. Basic and diluted earnings per B share were $0.02 for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $0.14 for the same period of last year.

Financial Condition

As of April 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $0.19 million, compared to $0.18 million as of October 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.85 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.73 million for the same period of last year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $53,810 for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to $9,027 for the same period of last year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.78 million for the first half of fiscal year 2025, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.83 million for the same period of last year.

Recent Development

On July 8, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 1,625,000 A shares at a public price of US$4.00 per share. The gross proceeds were US$6.5 million from the Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and other expenses.

What happens when the Fed cuts at all-time highs?… why Luke Lango says rates are less relevant… the AI buildout rolls on… another no-brainer AI investment… quarterly performance from Amazon and Apple
VIEW IN BROWSER

Here’s a Halloween Pop Quiz:

Wednesday marked only the fifth time that the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates when the S&P is trading at all-time highs…

Does history suggest that the next 12 months will bring tricks or treats for market returns?

Ready?

According to JPMorgan, in each of these five instances, the S&P was higher one year later with an average return of 20%.

The worst performance?

A “measly” 15% higher.

Now, that alone should invigorate the bulls. But we can take it one step farther…

What if – for the most explosive parts of today’s market – the Fed and its interest rate policy didn’t even matter that much for the foreseeable future? So, even if the Fed doesn’t cut rates again in December, prospective gains won’t slow?

Our hypergrowth expert Luke Lango, editor of Innovation Investor, made this case yesterday:

Increasingly, the Fed does not matter – not in the way it used to.

Once, a hawkish Fed would kill stocks, and a dovish one would ignite a rally. But we are in a new regime now.

In today’s market, artificial intelligence is the new center of gravity. And AI does not care whether Jerome Powell cuts again in December…

Instead, the thing keeping U.S. equities afloat is the AI buildout…

Data centers. Power infrastructure. High-performance chips. Advanced packaging. Cooling. Grid upgrades. Industrial equipment. 

That is the capex supercycle.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell admitted as much in his press conference on Wednesday:

I don’t think that the spending that happens to build data centers all over the country is especially interest-sensitive.

We’ve been urging investors to get exposure to this AI buildout for months
This is one of those powerful tailwinds that will juice portfolios for the next several years. But it could be even bigger than the hyperscalers have let on…

Yesterday, Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir and founder of venture firm 8VC, said that Big Tech is downplaying the scope of resources they’ll need to achieve their AI goals.

From Lonsdale:

[These companies are] afraid to scare their investors, and so they are telling them they need a lot less capital, a lot less energy than they know they actually do…

If anything, I think we’re underestimating how much investment is going to go into this space and how much we’re going to need.

So, what’s the investment action step?

Back to Luke:

Own the companies building the compute backbone of the next industrial platform, the power equipment firms wiring up the new grid for those data centers, the infrastructure enablers of the most aggressive private-capex boom we’ve seen in modern history…

Because if the Fed cuts in December, AI spending will be big. And if it doesn’t, AI spending will still be big.

But all this AI infrastructure – the data centers, chips, and cooling systems – points toward another investible opportunity…
AI has an insatiable appetite for energy.

So, as AI becomes more powerful, it will demand even more electricity.

Luke, along with Louis Navellier and Eric Fry, identified one of the sources of this added energy demand in yesterday’s issue of Power Portfolio. This service features a “best of” compilation of stocks from our three lead analysts.

From the crew:

Generative AI video is now beginning to take hold, and this technology requires exponentially more energy than traditional language models.

One study from Hugging Face finds that doubling the height, width, or temporal (time) dimensions of a video quadruples the amount of computing required.

This makes generative video projects like OpenAI’s Sora app enormous energy hogs.

Each five-second video can use as much energy as a microwave running for an hour or more, and OpenAI is now projected to burn through $115 billion in cash through 2029. (That’s enough to run a high-powered microwave for 65 million years.)

Bottom line: One of the best ways to play AI – in addition to tech infrastructure buildout – is through power itself.

One example of a company in the crosshairs of this opportunity is Oklo (OKLO). It’s pioneering a new era of compact nuclear reactors designed to deliver clean, reliable, and scalable power – exactly what the AI revolution requires to sustain its explosive growth.

Now, Oklo isn’t some obscure story we just stumbled across. It’s a company uncovered by Andy and Landon Swan’s cutting-edge data engine – a system that tracks millions of online conversations, search trends, and spending patterns to pinpoint the next breakout opportunities before Wall Street even notices.

How the Swan Brothers found OKLO
Whenever consumers take to the internet to talk about or search for a product, the Swans’ proprietary data system captures that activity in real-time.

It then connects those trends back to publicly traded companies, distilling it all into a “Social Heat Score” that highlights where real-world enthusiasm is building fastest. That’s how they spotted OKLO early and were on board before it then surged more than 450%.

But the Swan brothers aren’t the only ones using data to beat the market…

For decades, legendary investor Louis Navellier has built his reputation on using quantitative data to generate triple-digit returns for his readers. His Stock Grader system has uncovered 676 stocks that could have doubled your money or more.

As we’ve been profiling this week, Louis just teamed up with Andy and Landon to create a hybrid stock-picking system that fuses Louis’ quantitative fundamental methodology with the Swans’ real-time social data.

Backtests show that their combined system dug up 240 double-your-money opportunities over just five years, with an average gain of 244%.

They dove into the details earlier this week at their “Ultimate Stock Strategy” event. If you missed it, the free replay is still available here.

Another reason to focus on investing in AI-related energy plays
On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal ran a piece titled “More Big Companies Bet They Can Still Grow Without Hiring”.

From the piece:

It is the corporate gamble of the moment: Can you run a company, increasing sales and juicing profits, without adding people?

American employers are increasingly making the calculation that they can keep the size of their teams flat—or shrink them through layoffs—without harming their businesses.

Part of that thinking is the belief that artificial intelligence will be used to pick up some of the slack and automate more processes.

As we’ve been covering extensively in the Digest, companies are increasingly turning to AI and robotics, using them to replace human workers. The logic and calculation behind this is straightforward.

From our Wednesday Digest:

Humans: massive salary expense, benefits expense, sick days, vacation days, human error on the job…

AI/Robotics: one-time CapEx expense for AI software and/or robotics, marginal yearly maintenance expense, perfect job execution with no need for rest/breaks/benefits/and so on…

But don’t take it from me. Here’s Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky:

If people are getting more productive [thanks to AI], you don’t need to hire more people.

I see a lot of companies pre-emptively holding the line, forecasting, and hoping that they can have smaller workforces.

This underscores one reality that wise investors – and employees – will recognize today…

The next decade will witness a massive reallocation of corporate capital – away from payrolls, into power.

The transition from human output to AI output will create a seismic shift across the global energy landscape
According to Goldman Sachs, U.S. data center electricity demand is set to double by 2030, and that estimate may already be conservative.

The International Energy Agency has recently warned that the AI boom alone could consume as much power as an entire industrialized nation, such as Japan, within just a few years.

That explains why some of the most forward-looking firms are racing to secure long-term energy contracts or to invest directly in their own generation capacity.

As we’ve covered in past Digests, Microsoft and Amazon are already locking in deals with renewable producers. Google is experimenting with geothermal. And a handful of smaller innovators – like Oklo – are developing compact nuclear reactors to provide 24/7 clean power where traditional infrastructure can’t reach.

The implications go far beyond Big Tech. Every AI-enabled industry – including logistics, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing – will need dependable, affordable electricity to compete.

Here’s Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI:

Electricity is not simply a utility. It’s a strategic asset that is critical to building the AI infrastructure that will secure our leadership on the most consequential technology since electricity itself.

Bottom line: We’re at the beginning of a new “golden age” for energy, driven by exponential computing demand. This deserves a place in your portfolio.

But let’s take it one step further…
The opportunities won’t stop at an electricity buildout for tomorrow.

Let’s return to Luke to explain why, and tell us where to look today to get ahead of the curve:

Hyperscalers are under intense pressure to ditch diesel and move to clean, modern, always-on solutions.

That’s why a new consensus is emerging: every AI data center should pair its grid power with onsite energy storage.

So, SMRs, gas, and renewables will keep the lights on, while batteries and fuel cells will keep things running even if the grid hiccups.

It’s a two-front energy war – power generation and reliability. And Wall Street hasn’t priced in the second front yet…

This is a bigger story that will require more space than we have for the rest of today’s Digest. So, we’ll circle back.

But here’s Luke’s preview:

Wall Street’s still asleep at the wheel.

Investors are treating batteries and fuel cells like some clean-tech sideshow. They’re not seeing what’s right in front of them: these systems are core AI infrastructure. 

That’s the blind spot – and the opportunity.

A quick recap of Amazon and Apple earnings
Yesterday, after the closing bell, Amazon reported that it beat on both revenues and earnings, while lifting its capital expenditures forecast to $125 billion for the year (from $118 billion).

Wall Street is cheering sales at Amazon Web Services, which climbed 20% from last year. The stock is up 10% as I write.

Apple also beat on both the top and bottom lines, but iPhone sales in China just missed forecasts, which is weighing on the stock slightly (AAPL is flat as I write).

However, management was bullish on Q4, forecasting revenue to climb 10% – 12% thanks to iPhone 17 upgrades.

Overall, the Magnificent Seven earnings this week have been strong – certainly nothing that’s dinging Wall Street’s enthusiasm for AI.

And so, the party rolls on…

(Disclaimer: I own AMZN and AAPL.)

Have a good evening and Happy Halloween,

Company overviewMetricValueRevenue (TTM)$6.45 billionNet Income (TTM)$307.78 millionDividend Yield2.31%Price (as of market close 10/30/25)$31.92Company snapshotAmkor Technology is a leading provider of outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services, operating at scale with a global footprint and a diverse customer base. The company leverages advanced packaging technologies and integrated solutions to address the needs of electronics manufacturers in high-growth markets. Amkor Technology's competitive advantage is its comprehensive service offerings.

Amkor Technology provides outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services, including wafer bump, probe, back-grind, package design, and advanced system-in-package modules for a range of electronic devices.

The company operates as a turnkey service provider, generating revenue primarily through packaging and testing solutions for integrated device manufacturers and fabless semiconductor companies.

Amkor Technology serves integrated device manufacturers, fabless semiconductor companies, original equipment manufacturers, and contract foundries across the United States, Asia, Europe, and other global markets.

Foolish takeIn a year defined by recovery and rotation across the semiconductor landscape, Amkor Technology has captured both sides of the cycle. UG Investment Advisers trimmed its stake in Amkor Technology in the third quarter, selling about 930,000 shares valued at $22 million. This appears more so a disciplined portfolio rebalancing move, the kind of action investors take when a position has served its purpose and the risk-reward balance starts to even out.

Amkor specializes in packaging and testing chips for major manufacturers, including Qualcomm and Micron, and is a key player in the semiconductor supply chain. Its expertise in advanced system-in-package technology gives it an edge in high-growth areas such as AI hardware and automotive electronics.

However, it's also a cyclical business where profits tend to swell when chip demand accelerates and contract when production slows. The company's performance is largely dependent on the broader production cycle, which reflects how capital spending and design innovation ripple downstream through suppliers.

Amkor's story is closely tied to the global need for processing power. As more computing shifts to the edge and new devices demand more efficiency, packaging specialists like Amkor are well-positioned to capture steady growth. Its role at the intersection of innovation and execution gives it leverage across every wave of chip development—a quality that helps it endure beyond any single market cycle.
