Predicted for 22. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Samsung officially confirmed Galaxy Unpacked for July 22, 2026 in London (tagline: 'A New Shape Unfolds'). Multiple independent leak sources (Digital Trends, igorslab, TechRepublic, Memeburn) consistently report three foldable launches: Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide (7.8-inch inner display, wider outer screen), Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8. The 'Wide' form factor is a new format with a broader exterior that feels like a standard phone when folded. Existing predictions already cover Ring 2, Intelligent Eyewear, Flip 8 and Fold 8 Ultra; the Fold 8 Wide is independent of all of them. Leak consistency and official event confirmation support high confidence: own estimate 80%.

Microsoft reports Q4-FY2026 results on July 29, 2026, after market close. Analyst consensus: EPS $4.21–4.24 (+15.3% YoY vs. $3.65 in Q4 FY2025). Microsoft has beaten consensus in over 80% of quarters in recent years, driven by accelerating Azure AI growth, Copilot monetisation, and enterprise cloud demand. Q3-FY2026 (April 2026) showed further accelerating Azure growth as a leading indicator. No contradicting open predictions for Microsoft exist in the system. Calibrated probability: ~74%.

AMD reports Q2 2026 earnings on 4 August 2026 (after market close). EPS consensus: $1.60 adjusted; revenue consensus ~$11.25bn (YoY +46%). AMD's own Q2 revenue guidance was $11.2bn – tightly aligned with the street. Key growth drivers: (1) Instinct MI300X/MI400 GPUs for hyperscaler AI data centres (Azure, AWS, Meta), (2) EPYC CPU market-share gains vs. Intel. AMD historically beats EPS consensus in >70% of quarters. Risk factor: US AI-chip export restrictions to China could limit upside. The narrow gap between guidance and consensus slightly reduces beat probability vs. the historical average.

Ethereum trades at approx. $1,751 on July 13, 2026 — well below its all-time high of ~$5,000 (August 2025) and ~71% below the target. A recovery above $3,000 by year-end requires a ~71% gain. Drivers: (1) Bitcoin at $63,042 — historically ETH outperforms during BTC rallies; (2) Spot ETH ETFs (approved 2024/2025) could attract institutional flows in H2 2026; (3) the Pectra upgrade (2025) improved scalability and staking appeal. Headwinds: persistent risk-off sentiment from the Hormuz crisis; ETH at 12-month lows and struggling with $1,700 support. No specific Polymarket annual market for ETH/USD >$3,000 found; assessment based on BTC correlation and seasonality.
