In his weekly analysis, Cody Feng, a quantitative trading expert, reviews Bitcoin's price action from January 5 to 11. BTC movement aligned closely with his initial forecast, trading within a range of $84,000 to $94,500. The price faced strong resistance at the $93,000–$94,500 zone and later pulled back toward the mid-to-lower part of the range. A short position was executed near $94,000 based on signals from momentum and spread trading models, and the trade was closed around $90,584, capturing a profit of approximately 3.4%. The strategy emphasized pre-planned execution and disciplined risk management. Currently, Bitcoin has found support around $86,500, with technical indicators suggesting oversold conditions and a potential bounce. However, the overall structure remains a broad consolidation. A rebound toward $92,000–$93,000 is anticipated, where renewed selling pressure may emerge. A break above $94,500 would require a reassessment of the market outlook. Feng concludes that in a ranging market, executing well-defined strategies with strict risk controls is more critical than predicting directional moves.

Bitcoin Mid-Week Review(01.05~01.11)

Conclusion First:

This week, Bitcoin's overall price action largely operated within the 84,000~94,500 USD oscillation range we provided at the beginning of the week. The price precisely encountered resistance in the 93,000~94,500 USD pressure zone and subsequently fell back to the middle-lower part of the range. Our core level judgments were verified by actual market performance.

In this trade, we established short positions near 94,000 USD and exited all positions near 91,000 USD, capturing approximately 3.4% profit (spot) from the range, completing a high-probability, low-drawdown profit realization in a ranging market.

I. Validation of This Week's Core Range and Key Levels

At the beginning of the week, we clearly stated that this week required close attention to the battle between bulls and bears at the upper and lower boundaries of the 84,000~94,500 USD range.

The actual movement showed that Bitcoin clearly met resistance after rebounding to the 93,000~94,500 USD pressure zone, with multiple failed attempts to break higher, subsequently leading to a pullback under pressure, validating the effectiveness of this area as a阶段性 "ceiling".

Regarding support levels, the price showed clear signs of stopping declines and stabilizing after falling to the 86,000~86,500 USD area, where buying interest began to emerge. The more critical support level at 84,000 USD has not been touched yet, and the overall structure remains within the wide-range oscillation framework.

II. Execution of Plan A (From Entry to Exit)

Based on the range oscillation judgment, our Plan A formulated at the start of the week was effectively executed.

When the price rebounded to the 93,000~94,500 USD zone showing signs of upward exhaustion, and both the (momentum, spread trading) models simultaneously issued top signals, we immediately established short positions at 93,771 USD. The market subsequently declined as expected.

When the "Spread Trading" model issued a bottom signal, we finally exited all positions at 90,584 USD, completing a full, emotion-free short trade. The entire trading process was not "hindsight analysis" but involved pre-planning, in-execution, and post-verification.

III. Operational Thoughts for the Latter Half of the Week

Bitcoin 4-Hour Chart: (Momentum Quantitative Model + Spread Trading Model)

From the 4-hour technical structure (see chart above), Bitcoin has currently found effective support near 86,500 USD. Multiple technical indicators have entered oversold territory, indicating short-term selling pressure has been released. The market has a demand for a technical rebound correction (oscillatory rebound), but this is not yet sufficient to confirm a reversal of the downtrend.

Based on this, we anticipate the price may first rebound to test the 92,000~93,000 USD area. This level also coincides with the middle-upper part of the previous oscillation range and is expected to form resistance again.

For short-term operations, maintain a range-trading mindset: if the price reaches this zone and shows signs of momentum exhaustion or failed breakouts, consider building short positions on rallies; if it effectively breaks above 94,500 USD, stop loss decisively and reassess the market structure.

IV. Summary

Overall, Bitcoin continues to operate within the wide-range oscillation pattern defined at the beginning of the week: lower support provides room for rebounds, while upper resistance limits the upside. At present, rather than betting on a unilateral trend, it is more important to respect the range structure, focus on high-probability levels, and maintain strict risk control.

In ranging markets, formulating flexible response strategies and achieving stable profits is far more important than predicting direction.

ByteDance Adopts Arm CPUs, Jensen Huang: So Sad I Didn't Buy Arm

**Summary:** At Computex 2026, Arm CEO Rene Haas announced that ByteDance and Oracle have adopted Arm's self-designed Arm AGI data center CPU. The company expects significant revenue growth from this product, projecting $20 billion in demand for the 2027/2028 fiscal years. Haas noted that restricting AI-capable CPUs from the US to China is nearly impossible due to their widespread applications. Arm's stock has surged dramatically this year, notably rising 16% after NVIDIA's Arm-based Vera CPU and RTX Spark announcements. A highlight was the informal, humorous on-stage conversation between Haas and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Huang joked about NVIDIA's failed attempt to acquire Arm and playfully lamented selling his Arm shares. Both executives showed a clear sense of camaraderie and shared regret over the missed merger. Key technical topics were discussed: 1. **AI PC Design:** Huang explained NVIDIA's RTX Spark superchip (with a 20-core Arm CPU) is designed for future AI agents that will autonomously run and use tools on PCs, blending local and cloud processing. 2. **Agent vs. OS:** Huang emphasized the operating system remains crucial, as AI agents rely on its APIs and tools to function. 3. **Growth Constraints:** He identified the shift to "useful AI" that generates profitable tokens as a primary driver for immense, almost limitless, computational demand. Haas outlined Arm's strategy across PC and data centers. For PCs, Arm collaborates with partners like NVIDIA and MediaTek, offering its compute subsystem (CSS) for custom SoCs. In data centers, its Arm AGI CPU (built on TSMC's 3nm process) has gained major partners including OpenAI, Meta, and now ByteDance and Oracle. Arm presented a multi-year roadmap for its in-house CPU line. The article concludes that while GPUs dominated the AI training race, the explosion of AI agents is shifting significant focus to CPUs for inference, state management, and tool orchestration. The industry is trending towards vertical integration, with companies like cloud providers designing chips and chip/IP firms offering full solutions, all competing to deliver more efficient computing per watt.

New Wall Street Play: Yen Shorts Still Adding, But Japan Stocks Don't Rely on Carry Trade Unwinding

On June 3rd, USD/JPY hit 160.44, its highest level since July 2024, while the Nikkei 225 surged past 68,000 points. Contrary to popular narratives of an imminent "carry trade unwind" akin to August 2024, data reveals a more complex picture. Speculative net short positions in yen futures have actually increased, reaching -114,667 contracts by late May, suggesting traders are doubling down rather than retreating. Meanwhile, Japan's Finance Ministry conducted its largest-ever single-round FX intervention (11.73 trillion yen) in April-May but failed to hold the 160 yen line. The Nikkei's rally is not driven by carry trade dynamics. Foreign investors are aggressively buying Japanese stocks, with net purchases in 2026 running nearly 16 times higher than 2025 levels. This inflow is concentrated in AI and semiconductor-related stocks like SoftBank and Socionext, fueled by positive sector outlooks, rather than being a flight from unwinding yen shorts. Furthermore, the Nikkei has continued climbing despite the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) rate hikes to 0.75%. This disconnect exists because the current equity boom is fueled by AI-driven foreign investment, not reliant on cheap yen funding. However, this relationship remains fragile. Should the BOJ hike rates further (e.g., to 1.0%) while dollar weakness increases carry trade costs, the trajectories of the yen and Japanese stocks could reconverge, potentially triggering volatility.

Broadcom's Q3 Guidance Misses Expectations by $12 Billion, After-Hours Trading Plummets Over 13%, AI Narrative "Cooling"?

On June 3, Broadcom released record Q2 FY26 results with revenue of $22.19B, up 48% YoY, and AI chip sales of $10.8B, up 143%. Adjusted EPS of $2.44 beat estimates. However, its Q3 AI semiconductor revenue guidance of $16B, while up over 200% YoY, fell roughly $1.2B (7%) short of analyst consensus expectations of $17.2B. This miss, coupled with slightly weaker-than-expected software revenue, triggered a severe market reaction. CEO Hock Tan maintained the FY26 AI revenue outlook of over $100B but did not raise it, disappointing investors who had priced in more robust growth. The stock plummeted over 13% in after-hours trading, erasing roughly $270B in market cap. The sell-off extended to peers like Marvell. A key concern for markets, particularly for Chinese optical module suppliers, was Tan's comment that the contribution of AI networking (e.g., Ethernet switches, optical interconnect chips) to AI revenue, currently near 40%, is expected to normalize to around 30% over time, signaling a potential peak in growth for that segment. Despite the guidance shortfall, Tan reiterated that AI demand remains "insatiable" and reaffirmed the long-term target of exceeding $100B in AI revenue by FY27. The reaction highlights the heightened sensitivity and premium valuation placed on AI-exposed stocks, where anything less than stellar guidance can prompt significant profit-taking. The broader question is whether this represents a cooling AI narrative or a correction in overstretched valuations.

Dogecoin Price Just Entered A Critical Level, But Analyst Says It’s Not Time To Buy

Dogecoin has returned to a major long-term level on its monthly chart, entering what analyst Trader Tardigrade identifies as a critical resistance zone. Historically, this zone within a massive descending broadening channel has seen only two visits in the past decade—in 2017 and 2020—each followed by a strong rejection and deep correction. The coin has already dropped 8% after testing this area. Crucially, the analyst's chart is inverted; the "resistance" line is actually a bullish support line on a normal price chart. Past rejections from this line preceded major rallies. Therefore, the current price action near $0.0937 is viewed as a return to support, with potential for an upward bounce. A move above $0.10 could signal improving sentiment, while a break above $0.25 would confirm a bounce from support. The inverted chart structure even suggests room for significant upside toward double-digit targets.
