【Crypto World】Recently, there has been an interesting investment trend worth paying attention to. The well-known investment fund Thiel Macro made a major adjustment in Q3 of this year—completely clearing its position in Nvidia and significantly reducing its holdings in Tesla, while buying Apple on dips. What is the logic behind this? Analysts from Morgan Stanley and Jefferies provided the answer: they jointly raised their target prices for Apple to $315 and $283.36, respectively, mainly because they are optimistic about Apple’s performance in 2026. Looking at the holdings of tech giants as a market indicator, this adjustment may signal a reassessment of different sectors by the market. Institutions are selling off chip stocks and turning to favor consumer electronics leaders, which often implies a judgment on the next phase of the industry cycle.

Is the chip industry about to cool down? Thiel has already left, and I'm still going all-in on NVIDIA...

The chip is overheating, is Apple taking over? It seems like major institutions are also starting to fall behind.

Is the chip industry cooling down? Thiel's recent move seems like he's passing the buck... but Apple has indeed been underestimated for too long.

Is the chip dynasty coming to an end? Did Thiel sense something with this move... Will Apple really be that competitive in 2026?

Thiel's move, is he really sensing something? Or is the AI hype getting old, and now it's time for consumer electronics... It seems like institutions just love to play this way, first hype up a sector to the sky, then collectively turn around, leaving retail investors holding the bag.

But on the other hand, if Apple's 2026 performance really turns out to be that strong, I might need to reevaluate my holdings.

Switching from NVDA to buy Apple—this move is quite interesting. It seems the GPU story might be coming to an end?

The Thiel fund clearing out NVIDIA feels a bit harsh, but could Apple's rebound this time be just the prelude for institutions to cut the chives again?

Institutions are switching sectors; should we follow them? But I usually operate in the opposite direction. What do you guys think?

The chip narrative is coming to an end. Can Apple really do it… It seems like major institutions are all betting on 2026, which feels a bit uncertain.

The chip hype is indeed cooling down, but this shift towards Apple... hmm, who can say what will happen in 2026?
