Introduzione

BTC, Eth and other mainstream currencies rebounded in the short term.

This column combs the trading status of the spot market and futures market within the day, and analyzes the trading performance of BTC and the overall market. Help investors tap effective trading signals.

Market view

BTC, Eth and other mainstream currencies rebounded in the short term. On the brin online track, the price performance was relatively strong, and further change signals appeared at any time. The current trend is favorable for bulls, and the contract position has reached a recent high, indicating that the willingness to do long has increased.

goods in stock

1. Exchange BTC stock

The stock of BTCs in the exchange fell to 2.303 million BTCs on March 23. From the change of BTC stock in the exchange, the outflow increased from February to March, indicating that the selling pressure of BTC continues to reduce. Since July 26, 2021, the trend of BTC outflow from the exchange has continued, which means that investors' willingness to operate has decreased and the price of BTC has been supported by growth.

2. Market value and trading volume of the whole network

In the past two hours, the overall market trading volume was US $102.1 billion, and the overall market value increased by 2.5% to US $2 trillion. Pay attention to the trading volume and market value performance of the overall market in the past three months. The market value fluctuation space of the whole network runs between us $16423 billion and US $25005 billion.

contract

Contract transactions in mainstream currencies such as BTC can find spot prices and improve the direction of price operation. At the same time, it can also provide hedging methods for spot investors. Analyzing the long and short position direction, position change and leverage performance of the contract can help us confirm the trading signal.

1. Statistics of warehouse explosion in the whole network

The number of open positions indicates the effect of the release of market resistance during the price operation. The larger the number of open positions, the greater the reverse capital strength. After a short period of time, the excessively high position explosion amount can also prompt the price reversal signal. Because the fund increases the number of positions in the opposite direction in a short time, promoting the reverse operation of the market in a short time.

Network wide contract explosion

On March 24, the empty single explosion warehouse of the whole network contract reached US $35.31 million, and the multi single explosion warehouse of the whole network reached US $11.68 million. From the absolute value of position explosion, it is a low level in the short term. At the same time, the number of empty single positions has been generally large since mid March. At present, the reverse view of position explosion is relatively favorable for price rise.

2. Statistics of positions and turnover of the whole network

The trading volume and position of the whole network contract were stable. On March 24, the position shrank by US $39.2 billion, a slight increase of 1.8%; The turnover was US $110.3 billion, a slight decrease of 5.9%. It is worth noting that the contract position is the highest level since January 5, indicating that the overall market heat is continuing to grow.

3. Statistics of long and short positions of the exchange

The proportion of long and short positions in the exchange intuitively reflects the strength of long and short positions, and the dynamic proportion of long and short positions better verifies the trading signal. When multiple positions account for a large proportion, it indicates that the buyer has strong strength, and the BTC price is easy to rise but difficult to fall. On the contrary, the short strength is strong, suggesting a short signal.

On March 24, the proportion of multiple and empty orders in BTC was 1.04%, and the proportion of multiple orders was 50.93%, while the proportion of empty orders was 49.07%. Many parties dominated for the third consecutive trading day, and BTC had strong short-term upward momentum.

4. Contract capital rate

The higher the contract capital rate, the more information the bulls have about the price rise. The latest capital rate value of BTC shows that the fluctuation space of capital rate since 2022 is small, and the financing cost on more trading days is lower than 0, which means that the cost of financing for investors to buy BTC is very low. On March 23, the capital cost of BTC was -0.00024. The capital cost of BTC is lower than 0, the market is still in the bottom confirmation stage, and the opportunity of low absorption is relatively low.

SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic: The Three AI Giants Racing for IPO, Which One Is Worth Betting On?

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are poised for historic IPOs within weeks, potentially raising a combined $180 billion—a sum exceeding the entire internet bubble's fundraising. The hosts of the Limitless Podcast argue this isn't just individual company financing but an unprecedented capital concentration for AI infrastructure, driven by an insatiable need for compute, data centers, power, and chips. SpaceX's IPO is notable for reportedly changing market index rules to allow faster inclusion, potentially funneling trillions in passive retirement funds into its stock, despite its unproven space-based data center business model. In contrast, Anthropic demonstrates explosive growth, with ARR reportedly hitting $45 billion and approaching profitability, fueled by strong enterprise adoption of products like Claude Code. Google's separate $80 billion raise highlights the immense capital pressure, even for giants. The discussion acknowledges bubble risks but leans optimistic. The hosts contend the massive spending is building essential physical infrastructure for the next technological era. A key bottleneck isn't capital but the real-world limits of chip manufacturing and construction speed. As long as demand for AI compute outstrips supply, this investment cycle represents a foundational build-out rather than a purely financial bubble. All three companies are seen as foundational bets on the future, with Anthropic often cited as the most immediately compelling due to its proven revenue trajectory.

From 'Old Guys' to 'New Favorites': How AI Is Revaluing Old Infrastructure from Dell to Nokia?

From "Vintage Tech" to "New AI Darlings": How AI Revalues Old Infrastructure One year ago, tech giants like Dell, Nokia, Cisco, and Western Data were seen as slow-growth, low-valuation stories, far from the AI spotlight dominated by players like Nvidia. Now, these legacy tech stocks are gaining market attention, sparking debate on whether this is genuine industry revaluation or a temporary narrative. As AI moves from model parameters to real-world data centers, the market is recognizing companies with proven delivery and infrastructure capabilities. This shift marks a change in the AI investment thesis: from pure model and GPU focus to the complex systems engineering required for deployment. Companies like Dell, HPE, and Corning are being revalued not for being "sexy" AI innovators, but for their decades of accumulated expertise in supply chains, enterprise delivery, and infrastructure—assets that have become critical in the AI buildout phase. The revaluation is unfolding across three key infrastructure lines: 1. **Servers & System Integration:** Dell and HPE are emerging as crucial system integrators or "general contractors" for AI data centers, translating GPU orders into complete, deployable server racks integrated with power, cooling, and networking. 2. **Networking & Connectivity:** AI's scale demands robust high-speed connections. Corning (fiber optics), Nokia (AI-RAN, 6G), and Cisco (data center switches) are gaining importance for enabling efficient data transfer within and between AI clusters. 3. **Storage:** Beyond high-speed memory (HBM/DRAM), the AI data explosion is driving demand for high-capacity hard drives (HDDs) from companies like Western Digital and Seagate to handle training data, logs, and cold storage cost-effectively. For this revaluation to be substantive and not just a narrative, three criteria are key: 1) Concrete AI-related order and revenue growth (e.g., Dell's AI server sales), 2) Upward revisions to company financial guidance, and 3) Sustainable improvements in profit quality, not just top-line revenue spikes. In essence, AI's transition to a real construction phase is re-pricing "old assets" against "new demand." The opportunity, however, is selective. Only those legacy firms that are demonstrably integrated into the capital expenditure chains of data center and enterprise AI deployment are likely to experience a true "logic re-rating" rather than just a temporary valuation bounce.
