[Key interpretation] BTC long-term investors fled with an overall profit of 20%, and eth leverage rebounded

Introduzione

The BTC financing interest rate rebounded and continued to accumulate the energy for changing the price.

1. BTC rose slightly, not exceeding expectations

In the daily K-line chart, the BTC price hit a short-term high of US $24000 in one trading day. During the short-term rebound of the price, the increase did not exceed expectations. The reason is that during the two trading days of BTC volume reduction, the trading heat continued to decrease, and the best time point for changing orders was reached.

Considering the increasing differences between long and short contracts in BTC contracts, the number of short contracts increased. At the same time, investors with medium - and long-term currency holdings have expanded their trading profits, and the selling pressure has emerged. The adjustment of expectations is also worthy of attention.

2. Long term investors gain profits on the chain

The profit space of BTC's on-line transfer has significantly increased, especially the profit space of the main transfer of medium and long-term currency holding has increased, which means the increase of high selling transactions. On August 6, the SOPR proportion of medium - and long-term currency holders rebounded to 1.20, which means that the main force transferred to BTC when the overall profit was 20%. In the adjustment stage, the main profit transfer shows that the selling pressure increases slightly, and the impact of long cashing income on the price is negative.

3. Investors' BTC transaction financing cost increased

Recently, the overall financing cost of BTC has continued to rebound significantly. Numerically, the financing cost of BTC has not only remained above 0, but also reached 1.0077, indicating that the buying attraction of BTC has increased in the rebound stage. At present, the investor's financing to buy BTC is not strong, which makes the next price performance opportunities less. Nevertheless, the current market performance is still stable. With the purchase price maintained at the current level, the opportunity for BTC to rebound still exists.

4. Eth trading volume continues to be depressed

The daily K-line trend of eth is relatively stable, and the price contraction rebounds to around us $1910 corresponding to 61.8% of Fibonacci. The price signs face selling pressure and the room for increase is limited. Next, ETH may maintain weak consolidation in the short term, and the price does not send a radical pull signal on the rise, so the performance of the rise needs to be treated with caution.

5. Eth estimated leverage rebound

Eth estimated that the leverage ratio rebounded slightly. Numerically, the leverage ratio has reached a short-term high of 0.223, indicating that investors' bets on market changes have increased significantly. Looking back at the performance of the estimated leverage ratio, ETH continues to show strong volatility expectations. At the same time, it is noted that eth faces great breakthrough pressure in terms of price, and short-term trading opportunities in the range of US $1800 to US $1900 can be properly paid attention to.

Market Trend (June 19): US-Iran Deal Drives Out Geopolitical Premium; Chip Stocks Soar to New Highs; Energy Sector Leads Declines

U.S. Market Trends (June 19): U.S.-Iran Deal Eases Tensions, Chip Stocks Soar, Energy Sector Leads Declines. U.S. stocks rallied on Thursday as the signing of a temporary U.S.-Iran deal in Geneva de-escalated Middle East tensions, with Saudi oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. This geopolitical relief helped markets recover from recent Fed-driven volatility. The S&P 500 rose over 1%, the Nasdaq gained nearly 2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at another record high. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index surged over 6% to a historic peak. Chip stocks were the standout performers. Reports of an Apple-Intel design and foundry deal for certain products, alongside mentions of potential Nvidia and SpaceX collaborations with Intel, propelled the sector. Intel surged ~10.5%, while memory chip makers like Micron also saw significant gains, highlighting sustained confidence in long-term AI capital expenditure. In contrast, the energy sector was the day's sole loser, with the S&P 500 energy sub-index declining as WTI crude fell ~2% to around $74.29/barrel. The reopening of key shipping routes erased prior geopolitical risk premiums. SpaceX extended losses for a second day on news of a potential large bond offering. Market volatility (VIX) dropped sharply, indicating a swift reversal of post-Fed jitters. Treasury yields dipped slightly but remained elevated. The focus now shifts to upcoming economic data, including next week's PCE inflation report and Micron's earnings, which will serve as a key test for the AI trade's durability.

Will MicroStrategy Fall Into a Death Spiral? How Will the Macro Outlook Evolve in the Second Half of the Year?

**Summary:** The discussion centers on recent Bitcoin price declines and the evolving financial strategy of MicroStrategy (MSTR). The core argument is that the primary pressure is not from one-off Bitcoin sales by MSTR, but from the market's new expectation that MSTR may need to engage in *sustained, small-scale* Bitcoin sales to cover cash flow obligations for its growing portfolio of preferred shares and debt instruments (like STRC). This shift is driven by its stated goal of maintaining "bitcoins per share neutrality." The market is now testing whether it can absorb this potential ongoing selling pressure without entering a severe "death spiral" with Bitcoin's price. A resolution may involve MSTR softening its approach to avoid damaging both its stock and Bitcoin. The conversation then explores the parallel rise of AI-related stocks. The guest posits that AI is fundamentally restructuring labor, with "tokens" (representing access to AI models/compute) becoming a new form of capital and a substitute for human execution. This drives corporate efficiency and profits, benefiting upstream hardware providers (semiconductors, data centers), which explains the sustained rally. This represents the early stages of a "machine economy." Regarding crypto exchanges offering US stock trading, this is seen as a natural evolution. With few crypto-native assets generating lasting value, exchanges are pivoting to distribute valuable real-world assets (RWAs). This doesn't necessarily harm crypto's long-term prospects, as blockchain infrastructure may become crucial for future machine-to-machine economies. The analysis concludes that the era of rampant altcoin speculation is likely over, heavily damaged by the liquidity shock of the "1011" event (likely referring to a major market crash). Meme-driven capital has largely migrated to US equities. Looking ahead, macroeconomic uncertainty is rising due to potential large IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and the US elections. While short-term market corrections are possible, the long-term trends of AI-driven productivity gains and the maturation of blockchain towards real-world utility and institutional adoption remain intact.

Will MicroStrategy Fall into a Death Spiral? What Will the Macro Trend Be in the Second Half of the Year?

The podcast features investor Didier discussing the recent Bitcoin downturn and the evolving strategy of MicroStrategy (MSTR). He argues the core pressure is not macro factors or ETF outflows, but the market pricing in an expectation that MSTR will engage in continuous, small-scale Bitcoin sales to fund its increasing preferred stock and debt obligations under its "bitcoin-per-share neutrality" principle. This creates a structural headwind. However, he is cautiously optimistic a "death spiral" is avoidable without new major shocks, as market support is likely to emerge at a certain price point. Didier then posits that the AI-driven bull market in US stocks (semiconductors, data centers) is fundamentally driven by AI agents and tokens becoming the "new labor force," displacing human roles and boosting corporate margins. This shift toward a machine economy is still in its early stages. He comments on crypto exchanges adding US stock trading, viewing it as a natural move toward valuable real-world assets as truly valuable crypto-native assets remain scarce. For crypto-native traders, he suggests existing strategies (e.g., meme-chasing or value investing) can translate to similar assets in US markets. The discussion notes the severe liquidity damage from the "1011 event" (likely referring to a major market crash) has essentially ended the altcoin cycle, with speculative momentum shifting to the more liquid US stock market. Regarding the macroeconomic outlook for H2 2024, Didier expresses increased caution due to potential market pressure from upcoming mega-IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and US midterm election risks. Long-term, he remains bullish on AI's productivity gains and its convergence with blockchain/Web3, which he sees maturing into a more institutional, real-asset-focused phase.

Dylan Patel: Founder of SemiAnalysis, Praised by Jensen Huang, is a 'Beekeeper' and 'Forum Enthusiast'

Dylan Patel, founder of the independent research firm SemiAnalysis, has an unconventional background. A former beekeeper from rural Georgia, he entered the semiconductor world as a self-taught "forum warrior," discussing chip technology anonymously online from a young age. He launched the SemiAnalysis blog in May 2020, which later transitioned to a paid subscription model. The firm has grown from a one-person operation to a global team of around 60, with a dedicated teardown lab. Its detailed, technically-focused analysis on semiconductor supply chains, AI infrastructure, and products has earned significant industry recognition. Notably, NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang has publicly cited their reports. In a landmark case, a critical 2024 report on AMD's MI300X GPU software stack led to a 90-minute call with AMD CEO Lisa Su, who thanked him for the constructive feedback. SemiAnalysis later acknowledged AMD's improvements. The firm's influence on markets was seen when a report on NVIDIA's Rubin memory configuration was partially shared, affecting memory stock prices. Dylan Patel emphasized the importance of context, contrasting the shared excerpt with the report's actual title. SemiAnalysis, now a multi-faceted consultancy with revenue projected to reach $100 million, is known for its deep technical insights that influence major industry players and investment decisions.
