This Week’s Market Pulse
Welcome to your weekly analysis covering crypto, equities, and broader market movements. This week brings significant macro developments and key technical setups worth your attention. Let's break down what's moving markets and where the opportunities lie.
Past 7-Day Changes (As of May 10, 2026)
Markets keep climbing this week, with several altcoins surging over 30%. Michael Saylor is teasing Bitcoin sales to buy even more Bitcoin (lol), while our conviction plays continue strengthening their fundamentals.
Hyperliquid’s HIP4 just launched and is already showing strong early growth. We also have fresh trade opportunities on the TON network and in Chinese robotics.
Conviction Play Update: Hyperliquid’s HIP-4 launches
HYPE remains one of our highest conviction names in the entire book. The progression from HIP-3, which delivered explosive real-world asset, stock, and commodity trading with surging volumes, to HIP-4 now live with outcome markets and binary event contracts is creating an absolute monster.
Since mainnet launch, HIP-4 has already generated over $24 million in trading volume on day one while offering zero fees to open positions versus Polymarket’s up to 2 percent take on winning bets. Everything trades seamlessly in one unified margin account.
With the prediction market TAM exploding past $63 billion and still growing fast, this is the catalyst that positions Hyperliquid to flip Coinbase, Robinhood, and Polymarket in size long term.
HIP-4 volumes are impressive off the bat as shown in the data below:
Narrative Note - Semiconductor Season
AI infrastructure demand keeps accelerating and memory is now the clear bottleneck in the entire buildout. We just took a long-term position in SK Hynix via HY9H GDR shares. SK Hynix ranks number one on the forward P/E table among major semis with a 4.3x next FY multiple, 23% EPS growth, and a 0.18 PEG. It is still one of the cheapest big AI plays available. As the dominant leader in HBM supplying the majority to Nvidia, this pairs perfectly with our compute exposure. Capacity is largely sold out and conviction is high for at least the next year.
The next leg after semis and memory is already coming into focus: AI power and energy infrastructure. Data centers are set to become some of the largest power consumers on the grid, driving explosive structural demand for nuclear, utilities, grid modernization, and the full energy complex. This is the logical extension as the liquidity wave pushes further into hard assets and real infrastructure.
Lastly, the crypto trenches are waking up fast on TON. Telegram is officially all-in on the integration and real attention plus volume are rotating back into the ecosystem. We have an interesting trade idea on this below.

Forward Looking Idea - Physical Robotics (China Trade)
We just put on a long term degen position in the physical robotics supply chain via a Chinese manufacturer. We bought shares of Zhejiang Sanhua Intelligent Controls (2050.HK). At a $28 billion market cap this is a direct high conviction play on humanoid robotics.
Sanhua has been a longtime Tesla supplier in thermal management and actuators and sits squarely in the Optimus stack. It specifically handles the linear and rotary actuators plus joint modules that make up the joints and movement layer. Elon has been explicit that actuators represent roughly 56 percent of the materials cost for Optimus. If he scales toward 100 million plus robots per year the torque on names like Sanhua becomes massive.
High risk and it may take time before it moves but this is exactly the kind of asymmetric multi year setup we like. It adds real world hardware exposure that pairs perfectly with our core TSLA robotics conviction and the broader physical AI wave we are building.
Plush Pepes Idea (TON Telegram Gifts)
Telegram is now officially all in on TON and Plush Pepes is the top collection in the Telegram Gifts ecosystem.
The thesis is simple. With nearly one billion MAUs this is the ultimate verifiable flex asset. It is the original PFP NFT thesis executed perfectly: highly identifiable, completely unfakable, and tied directly to the biggest messaging app on earth that only scales higher from here.
Far cleaner than random TON memes with zero real connection. This actually captures TONs true value through the Telegram integration.
Ultra high risk degen shot with supply under 3000 but it is super ‘fun’. Ive been rocking one myself and have a second pinned to my Telegram profile.
You can buy them on Portals the marketplace mini app right inside Telegram.
We keep this small in the pure speculative gambling bucket. At these levels the attention scarcity and platform tailwinds just flipped it back to strong plus EV with real asymmetric upside.
Trade Setup $MET Long
MET 1D Long Setup
Entry: 0.1808
Take Profit: 0.2402
Stop Loss: 0.1570
Rationale:
Strong technical reversal at key support flip after capitulation, with solid risk/reward setup. Solana DeFi heating up (JUP + JITO pumping), MET is a high-beta liquidity infrastructure play with real revenue generation, perfect narrative + momentum catch.
Risk/Reward: 1:2.5
Model Portfolio Allocation
We are still holding our BTC, HYPE and added some XMR.
We added SK Hynix to our equity basket and used some of our active bucket funds to farm Saturn.
