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.

Blocked Its Own Treasure, WeChat AI Steps Up

Tencent's stock surged over 10% on June 2nd amid reports that WeChat, with 1.43 billion monthly users, is finalizing tests for a native AI Agent. The reported feature, accessible by swiping right from the main interface, allows users to issue commands in natural language. The AI then decomposes tasks and automatically calls upon relevant Mini Programs within WeChat to complete actions like ordering food, booking tickets, or making payments, creating a closed-loop service execution system. This strategic shift follows the internal conflict and subsequent "blocking" of Tencent's standalone AI app, Yuanbao, by WeChat for violating sharing rules during a 2026 Spring Festival promotion. The incident highlighted a lack of internal consensus and exposed the weakness of competing in the standalone AI assistant arena against rivals like ByteDance's Doubao (345M MAU) and Alibaba's Qianwen. The new WeChat AI Agent aims to leverage WeChat's unique assets—its massive user base, standardized Mini Program APIs, WeChat Pay, and identity system—to move from simple content generation to actual task execution. Analysts note this changes the competitive landscape from model benchmarks to which AI can connect to more real-world services. However, success depends on key variables: the capability of Tencent's underlying Hunyuan model, managing massive inference costs, and redesigning incentives for Mini Program developers whose traffic might be bypassed. The move is seen as an attempt to keep user service intent within WeChat's ecosystem as AI begins to redefine how users access services.

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.
