This was a week of whiplash where every piece of bullish memory news got sold and every dip got bought by someone else's leverage — a genuinely exhausting tape. Korean chip stocks became the epicenter of volatility, gyrating on leveraged ETF unwinds and flash crashes, while US memory names like Micron increasingly decoupled and held up better than SK Hynix or SanDisk, hinting at real differentiation forming under the surface. Macro added its own chaos with Iran/Hormuz headlines whipsawing oil daily and a shockingly weak jobs report flipping the Fed narrative, but through it all the structural memory shortage thesis kept getting reconfirmed by data even as price action refused to reward it. By Friday the mood was: fundamentals excellent, positioning exhausted, and everyone waiting on next week's CPI to break the stalemate.
