1. Hello, this is JinLog, top trader.
   I provide rhythm analysis reports in a talk‐show style, and you can find the full report on my blog.
   Reacting to every piece of news or event often leads to overtrading, which erodes both your capital and your time.
   The VPAR Rhythm Trading Method captures the broader flow timing and selectively responds only at key ‘pivot’ zones.
   By monitoring both sector and individual stocks—and tuning in to live broadcasts—you can manage risk and seek higher returns efficiently.
2. Summary
   IONQ remains in its swing trend without any breakdown, displaying clean algorithmic pattern waves around the current price of $46.51.
   On July 7, the company closed a $1 billion funding round, boosting cash reserves to roughly $1.68 billion ahead of its Q2 earnings on August 6.
   Entry points are set at $44.50 (short), $41.00 (swing), and $33.50 (mid), with target prices of $58 (short) and $59 (swing); the mid‐term target is currently unmeasured by our rhythm model.
   Will the algorithmic wave structure, combined with rhythm and order‐flow signals, deliver the optimal entry?
3. Investment Opinion

• Short‑Term: Buy at $44.50, target $58 — enter when rhythm formation and order‐flow buildup confirm support.
• Swing‑Term: Buy at $41.00, target $59 — consider entry after a rhythm pullback and sustained order‐flow buildup within the accelerated trend.
• Mid‑Term: Buy at $33.50 — assess once rhythm pullback transitions to expansion and broader macro context aligns.
