Odaily News Analyst Ansem posted on X platform, stating that a "quite astonishing data point" shows that compared to the strategy of holding a single long HYPE position against the US dollar, a paired trading strategy of going long Hyperliquid (HYPE) while simultaneously shorting Bitcoin (BTC) has actually delivered better performance so far this year. This result suggests that in the current market structure, relative strength trading may offer higher returns than directional bets on a single asset. It also reflects the intensified rotation and beta divergence within the crypto space, with the return structure between BTC and high-volatility altcoins showing clear stratification.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on platform X that during this correction, large investors holding more than 1 Bitcoin are taking advantage of the price decline to increase their positions. Their total BTC holdings have reached a new all-time high, exceeding 16.8 million coins, indicating that long-term allocation demand continues to strengthen and further reflecting the institutionalization trend of Bitcoin as an asset.Data shows that the holdings of this type of investor have continued to rise, suggesting that market participants are more inclined towards asset allocation from a long-term perspective rather than short-term trading.At the retail level, analysis indicates signs of re-accumulation are emerging, but the overall sentiment remains cautious. Current retail holdings are approximately 1.7 million BTC, still below the all-time high recorded in December 2023. Some retail investors chose to take profits during the previous price rally, while others may have adjusted their exposure through more convenient channels such as ETFs.The analysis suggests that although the behavioral pace differs among various investor groups, the market as a whole is gradually forming a consensus that the current phase is more suited for a long-term allocation window. The trend of funds re-entering the accumulation phase is strengthening.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that Bitcoin weakened rapidly after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% and released a relatively hawkish dot plot, falling below the $64,000 mark and dropping about 4% from its intraday high.This meeting marked the Fed's fourth consecutive pause, but the latest dot plot indicates a significant shift towards a hawkish policy path: several officials now expect the possibility of further rate hikes this year, further diminishing the market's pricing of "rate cut expectations." Analysts believe this change has a greater impact than the rate decision itself, directly suppressing risk asset valuations.Market data shows that Bitcoin initially surged to around $66,400 following the announcement, before quickly reversing downward amid heavy selling pressure, hitting a low of approximately $63,870. Trading volume notably expanded, indicating active selling-driven declines. The price is currently consolidating near the lower end of the $63,600–$64,000 range, with no significant inbound capital from bargain hunting.In stark contrast is gold's performance. Spot gold rapidly recovered after briefly dipping to around $4,220, climbing back above the $4,300 level to trade near $4,321, demonstrating strong defensive attributes and capital absorption capacity. Even against a backdrop of easing geopolitical risks, safe-haven demand remains resilient.Market participants pointed out that the core divergence in this round of reaction lies in the repricing of asset attributes: gold completed a swift recovery under the same macroeconomic shock, while Bitcoin failed to reclaim the key level of $64,000, highlighting the higher sensitivity of risk assets to "higher-for-longer interest rates."Overall, the market is transitioning from a phase of "loose expectations supporting risk assets" to one of "hawkish path suppressing valuations," with short-term risk appetite clearly cooling. The key observation point is whether Bitcoin can re-enter the $64,000–$65,000 range with volume confirming stability; otherwise, a weak consolidation structure may persist.

Odaily News Trader Ansem posted that Warsh and a hawkish FOMC could pressure risk assets, anticipating a widespread decline in risk assets tomorrow, while BTC has already shown relative weakness compared to most assets. He believes that BTC's multi-timeframe failure to break through weekly resistance could lead to a retest of range lows.

Odaily Odaily News Rodney "Bitcoin Rodney" Burton, a resident of Miami, Florida, has pleaded guilty in federal court to participating in a cryptocurrency fraud scheme related to HyperFund, which involved approximately $1.8 billion.According to federal prosecutors in Maryland, Burton admitted to "conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business." He participated in promoting this Ponzi-structured project between June 2020 and January 2022, profiting approximately $7.85 million.Law enforcement authorities indicated that HyperFund attracted investors with promises of high returns of "0.5% to 1% daily," but there was no actual cryptocurrency mining or sustainable source of revenue. The funds essentially came from new investors, representing a typical Ponzi scheme structure. The platform began restricting withdrawals in 2021.The U.S. Department of Justice stated that the project raised funds from investors worldwide and was used for promotion and fund transfers during its operation, constituting a large-scale跨境 wire fraud network.Burton faces a maximum of 5 years in federal prison, with sentencing scheduled for July 23. Law enforcement agencies stated that the case was jointly investigated by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and Homeland Security Investigations. (U.S. Department of Justice)
well-known trader Ansem posted on X: "Bitcoin is at a pretty significant point right now, retesting the key weekly resistance level around $65,000 - $66,000. I'm not looking to go long here at the moment because I think there are other better long candidates, but if Bitcoin can close its weekly (or daily) candle above this resistance, it will likely retest $72,000 next — I'm personally leaning towards this scenario. If I'm wrong and we see the price weaken and break below $63,800, then I will turn bearish, and it could potentially retest $60,000. If the market actually gives an opportunity (for example, a stop loss/failure point above a low-timeframe consolidation zone before the breakdown), I will take that short. The Fed's FOMC meeting at 2:30 PM today (early tomorrow morning Beijing time) could influence the next direction."
According to Lookonchain monitoring, US Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 1,543 BTC today, approximately $100.59 million; the 7-day net outflow stands at 3,315 BTC, approximately $216.1 million. Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net inflow of 9,361 ETH, approximately $16.44 million; the 7-day net outflow stands at 35,822 ETH, approximately $62.9 million.
Bitcoin continues to face pressure amid macroeconomic uncertainty and institutional wait-and-see sentiment, hovering around $64,500, down approximately 2% on the day. The market is awaiting the outcome of the Fed FOMC meeting, which will be chaired by Kevin Warsh for the first time, with widespread expectations that interest rates will remain unchanged in the 3.50%–3.75% range.Analysts point out that the focus of this meeting has shifted from "whether to cut rates" to "policy path and inflation signals." Current US inflation is believed to remain near three-year highs, with energy prices and geopolitical developments keeping the market cautious about the future policy direction.Pressure is also emerging simultaneously on the chain and institutional levels. Structural concerns surrounding Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continue to escalate, with its preferred stock STRC falling to $91.79 on June 16, over 8% below its $100 par value, seen as a sign of weakening corporate Bitcoin buying power.Although spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $10.1 million on June 16, with BlackRock's IBIT contributing the majority, the capital scale remains significantly lower than in previous periods, indicating limited buying momentum.Market research firms Bitfinex and QCP note that the recent Bitcoin rebound appears more like a "technical recovery driven by exhausted selling pressure" rather than being fueled by new demand. In the derivatives market, rising implied volatility in options and a skew towards put protection suggest traders are pricing in tail risks.In terms of price structure, Bitcoin is considered to be oscillating in the short term within the $60,000 to $68,000 range. If the Fed signals a hawkish stance or institutional buying weakens further, a pullback to the $62,000–$63,000 range is possible.Overall, the current market presents a combination of "macro wait-and-see, marginal institutional weakening, and heightened derivatives defense." The short-term direction still depends on FOMC policy signals and the potential return of ETF and corporate capital flows. (The Block)
Odaily Odaily News According to on-chain analyst EmberCN's monitoring, 15 minutes ago, the Royal Government of Bhutan address transferred 533.2 BTC ($34.52 million) to Binance.

as SpaceX is poised to be included in several major index systems, passive investors may be forced to hold the stock, thereby taking on significantly increased portfolio volatility risk. Multiple index providers (including CRSP, Nasdaq, FTSE Russell, and MSCI) have already adjusted their rules to accommodate SpaceX's inclusion in large-cap indices.Analysis points out that with SpaceX's current implied volatility approaching 120%—approximately three times that of Bitcoin-related ETFs (such as IBIT)—it will become one of the most volatile components of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. Industry insiders state that once large ETFs (such as the Vanguard Growth Index Fund) passively gain exposure to SpaceX, it will significantly elevate the overall volatility level of the indices, sparking debate over "passive investors being forced to assume high-risk assets."However, some believe that as it enters the index system, sustained passive fund inflows and market-making mechanisms could, in the medium to long term, reduce its extreme volatility and enhance liquidity stability.

According to The Block, K33’s latest report states that Bitcoin rebounded approximately 6% last week after two consecutive weeks of sharp declines, currently hovering near $65,000. The report notes that as of June 6, only 218,400 bitcoins—dormant for over two years—were reactivated in 2026, significantly lower than同期 levels over the past two years, indicating weak on-chain selling pressure.
crypto research firm K33 stated the Bitcoin supply held by long-term holders has reached an all-time high, indicating the bear market may be approaching its end. K33 noted a clear downturn in the reactivation of old coins in 2026. As of June 6, only 218,421 Bitcoins had been reactivated, showing significantly reduced on-chain selling pressure. In contrast, 1.18 million Bitcoins had been reactivated during the same period in 2024. K33 believes the decline in old coin activity suggests long-term holders have a reduced willingness to sell, with patient participants continuing to absorb the supply. (The Block)
