What happened in China this week.
1. Tencent fell 7% after analysts projected a slowdown in its mobile gaming revenue growth. No official figures until earnings on 12 Aug 2026.
2. The national team is back propping up the stock market. This time they loaded up on the ChinaAMC Star 50 ETF, which drew record inflows. Why this ETF and why now?
3. Zhongji Innolight is the world's largest optical interconnect supplier, converting electrical signals into light and back again as networks lean ever harder on optical fibre. It is seeking to raise HK$55 billion in a Hong Kong IPO, the largest since Alibaba.
4. Zhipu AI has a 1GW data centre running entirely on domestic Chinese AI chips. Self sufficiency is no longer just talk.
5. The European Union has hit AliExpress with a €550 million penalty under the Digital Services Act, the largest issued under that regulation so far. But the louder question is Alibaba's AI spending.

The tech unwind is here. This week brought massive downside on Tesla and Google, oil topping $93 before pulling back, and the semiconductors getting hammered on CapEx and debt fears. Intel told the story perfectly — up over 10% on earnings, then nearly 10% lower by the next close the moment it mentioned higher spending. On this Weekly Wrap-Up, Gareth Soloway breaks down the make-or-break trend lines on the S&P and Nasdaq, why Oracle is the "OG" of the CapEx collapse, and the levels that matter across gold, silver, oil, and Bitcoin heading into a huge earnings week.
📐 THIS WEEK'S WRAP-UP
🔵 SPY / QQQ — The S&P holds near flat on flight-to-safety diversification while the Nasdaq 100 sheds over 1%. First trend-line hit on the Nasdaq should bounce; the real danger is a break of that line — the trap door for the whole market.
🔴 TSLA — Down roughly 20% on the week after its earnings miss, leading the mega-cap exodus.
🔴 ORCL — The "OG" of the CapEx collapse: down about 67% from its $345 high to near $115. Next big stop is the descending trend line around $111–$112.
🔴 INTC — A stunning 19.4% drop from yesterday's after-hours high to today's low. Great earnings undone the instant CapEx guidance went up.
🟢 AAPL — The rock star of the day and the one Magnificent Seven name that didn't overspend on AI. Money is rotating into it — but Gareth sees resistance near $336.
🔴 MU / SNDK — Micron and SanDisk both hammered. Gareth flags technical-bounce zones but still expects these names to correct up to 75% of their prior rallies.
🔵 GOLD / SILVER — Gold pauses in a tightening wedge; the dollar decides whether it runs to $3,500 or bottoms near $3,900. Silver stuck between $63–$64 resistance and $54 support.
🔴 US OIL — Falls off the 50% retrace and the descending trend line after topping $93. Gareth stays short; all eyes on the Middle East this weekend.
🔵 NATGAS / BITCOIN — Natural gas chops on support with resistance near $3.10; Bitcoin needs to hold $63K–$63.5K to keep the path open toward $72K.
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAY: Sentiment shifted this week. Oracle's government deal and Intel's earnings beat both got sold — proof that once the market stops rewarding CapEx, valuations get very hard to defend. Meta, Microsoft, and Apple's peers must show a return next week, or the slide continues.
