According to Eric Balchunas, the South Korea ETF $EWY experienced a significant volume eruption, trading $6.2 billion in a single day, which is double its all-time record in its 25-year history.

According to @TATrader_Alan, Dogecoin (DOGE) has tested its descending trendline for six consecutive daily candles, maintaining its bullish structure. However, the momentum appears weak, and the current rally seems to lack strong buyer conviction.

According to @Andre_Dragosch, the ProShares Money Market ETF $IQMM achieved a staggering $17 billion in trading volume on its first day, far surpassing previous ETF records.
