On June 19, Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, released data on options settlements indicating that approximately 31,000 BTC options are set to expire today, with a Put/Call Ratio of 0.78 and a maximum pain price of $65,000, representing a notional value of about $1.9 billion. Additionally, around 138,000 ETH options are expiring, with a Put/Call Ratio of 1.03 and a maximum pain price of $1,725, amounting to a notional value of approximately $230 million. Adam noted that although Bitcoin briefly rebounded to around $67,000 this week, the upward momentum is clearly insufficient. Under pressure from institutional selling, the market's absorption capacity is limited, with both BTC and ETH currently trading below their maximum pain prices and oscillating around this area. From the options structure perspective, this week's expiring positions account for about 6.5% of the total open interest, which is lower than last week's level and is essentially within the recent average range. Next week will see the quarterly settlement, with about 15% of the open positions set to expire. As prices stabilize, Gamma Exposure (GEX) is primarily concentrated in the $60,000 to $63,000 range, and the related positions will gradually expire over the next two weeks, potentially impacting implied volatility (IV) significantly. Furthermore, the Skew indicator remains negative, indicating that the market is still wary of downside risks. Adam believes that MicroStrategy's ongoing coin sales and its discount issues have significantly impacted market confidence, making it more challenging for funds to flow back, and the overall market sentiment remains relatively subdued.

On June 19, U.S. President Trump stated on the 18th that his negotiations to reach a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran were aimed at avoiding a global economic recession stemming from military conflict. In an interview with Axios, Trump said that the U.S. has 'completely defeated them militarily.' This military action effectively demonstrated America's military strength. 'Who else could implement such a blockade? I enforced a maritime blockade, and no ship could break through.' Trump expressed frustration over domestic critics questioning his toughness on Iran. He warned that if bombing targets in Iran continued, the Strait of Hormuz would become impassable. 'We wouldn't be able to get oil for months. As long as you keep bombing, that strait automatically closes... This could trigger a global economic recession.' Axios reported that sources indicated Trump had privately expressed concerns about the impending depletion of global oil reserves, warning that if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed, it could lead to a global oil crisis.

According to monitoring by Beating and an analysis of the latest leaked data by WIRED, Peter Thiel's co-founded secret society, Dialog, has an extremely harsh and biased 'grading and elimination' mechanism. Dialog implements a secret rule of 'rating upon entry.' Although the club has thousands of members, the leaked documents reviewed by WIRED only include 192 personal profiles (comprising 130 official members and some candidates) that were archived internally. These profiles reveal the club's counterintuitive hierarchy: C-level members are the highest VIPs, B-level members make up the majority, while A-level members, typically seen as the best, are actually the lowest-ranked with the least recognition. This rating is directly linked to members' finances. Only about 25% of VIP 'C' members are required to pay the full attendance fee, while a staggering 70% of the bottom 'A' members pay the full fee of tens of thousands of dollars. Ironically, the AI screening mechanism introduced by Dialog is extremely superstitious about so-called 'national recognition.' For instance, actor Josh Brolin, known for his role as Thanos, has never attended but effortlessly qualifies as a VIP 'C' member due to box office success and millions of fans; meanwhile, academic giant Tyler Cowen was nearly classified as a regular member by the AI for being 'not well-known among ordinary people,' only managing to rise to C-level through human intervention. Additionally, 'value points' serve as a scythe for eliminating 'useless individuals,' specifically measuring members' resource connections and intellectual contributions to other club giants. After each gathering, staff review members' performances like 'code audits'; those with too few value points, cultural mismatches, or declining influence are ruthlessly removed from the invitation list. Furthermore, the leaked database also revealed its built-in social and dating matching system (10% of members join a singles pool), with algorithms recommending matches while also maintaining a 'do-not-match list.' This so-called objective assessment system is similarly filled with biases: women make up one-third of the members but only receive 18% of VIP seats; politically, it is even harder to escape differential treatment, as over half of the members identify as 'left-leaning,' yet 'right-leaning' members have more than double the chance of obtaining VIP status, with even the 'left-leaning' label of an environmental leader being forcibly changed to 'right-leaning' by staff in the background.

On June 19, market analysts widely expect the company's operating profit for the second quarter of 2026 to be in the range of 60 trillion to 70 trillion won, significantly higher than the historical high of 37.6 trillion won set in the first quarter. The Q1 financial report released in April showed that SK Hynix's revenue reached 52.58 trillion won, with an operating profit of 37.61 trillion won and an operating profit margin of 72%, both setting quarterly records. The strong demand and price increases for high bandwidth memory (HBM) and high-end DRAM are the core drivers of this performance surge. Company management pointed out that the structural memory shortage brought about by AI infrastructure is expected to last at least three years. As the second quarter progresses, expectations of rising memory prices further enhance profit prospects. Analysts predict that DRAM and NAND contract prices will rise by more than 50% to 70% quarter-on-quarter, and under a high-profit product structure, even a slight price increase has a significant leverage effect on SK Hynix. Current market consensus indicates that the median operating profit for Q2 is around 62 trillion to 64 trillion won, with some brokerages, such as Kiwoom Securities, raising their forecasts to 70 trillion won, compared to earlier consensus estimates of around 40 trillion won. This optimistic outlook has already been reflected in the stock price. So far this year, SK Hynix's stock has risen over 300%, and at the end of May, its market capitalization briefly surpassed 1 trillion dollars, making it the second Asian chip company to join the 'trillion-dollar club' after Samsung Electronics. In comparison, the market also expects Samsung Electronics' memory business Q2 profit to rise to the level of 70 trillion won, with the combined industry profit contributed by these two Korean giants rapidly expanding. Despite uncertainties surrounding geopolitical issues and the pace of AI capital expenditures, the technological barriers of HBM and long-term supply-demand mismatches give SK Hynix a clear advantage in the current memory upcycle. The company's Q2 financial report is expected to be released in late July, at which point the market will assess the extent to which these aggressive expectations are realized. For investors focused on AI themes, SK Hynix remains one of the most direct beneficiaries.

On June 19, in the context of related litigation at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) jointly issued a public request for comments, planning to update and clarify the definitions and regulatory interpretations of certain derivative products. This inquiry covers a wide range of topics, including the definition of 'swaps', the definition of 'security-based swaps', and the delineation of the exemptions applicable to these definitions. The two agencies are also seeking public input on the regulatory treatment of new or emerging financial products, which may include event contracts on prediction market platforms and perpetual futures/perpetual contracts. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated in a press release: 'Today's joint public request for comments provides an opportunity to address the long-standing regulatory ambiguities in Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act. These ambiguities have been hindering fair competition and responsible innovation.' According to Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC has regulatory authority over swap products, except for security-based swaps. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins also noted in a statement that clarifying certain definitions has become urgent, particularly regarding the regulatory classification of event-driven products.
