South Korea's stock market experienced a rapid rebound after a "Black Monday," but individual investors who had aggressively bought the dip in semiconductor leaders found themselves in a "buy the dip, sell the rebound" situation. According to data from the Korea Exchange, Korean retail investors collectively purchased approximately 3.89 trillion won worth of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. This included a net buy of 1.10 trillion won in Samsung Electronics and 2.79 trillion won in SK Hynix. On that day, the two companies' stocks plunged by 10.7% and 15.37%, respectively, with retail investors absorbing the shares sold by foreign and institutional investors. However, as semiconductor stocks rebounded, retail investors quickly turned into sellers. Over the two days of the 14th and 15th, individual investors sold a cumulative 1.45 trillion won in Samsung Electronics and 3.70 trillion won in SK Hynix, bringing the total net sell-off of the two stocks to 5.15 trillion won.Data shows that the estimated average purchase price for Samsung Electronics by retail investors on the 13th was around 261,700 won, while the average selling price over the following two days was about 259,400 won. For SK Hynix, the average purchase price was approximately 1,938,500 won, and the average selling price was around 1,849,300 won. Calculated based on the positions bought on the 13th, retail investors suffered a total loss of about 138.2 billion won. Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics rose by approximately 9.8% cumulatively over the 14th and 15th, while SK Hynix gained about 12.8% over the same period. However, as a large portion of the dip-buying funds were sold off early in the rebound on the 14th, they failed to fully capitalize on the subsequent rally. (Etoday)
Affected by the mutual airstrikes between the US and Iran over the weekend, market risk-off sentiment intensified. Bitcoin has fallen more than 1% since 00:00 UTC on July 13, hovering around $63,000. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil once rose more than 3%, amid market concerns over shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz and the potential inflationary pressure.
: According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Yu Jin, the hacker (0x18B...E66) who stole funds from a Coinbase user spent 7.378 million DAI early this morning to buy 4,049.7 ETH at a price of $1,822. Meanwhile, the address (0xa13...628) that received ETH from Tornado Cash last November had previously transferred out 4,978 ETH and exchanged them for 16.294 million DAI at a price of $3,273. Today, two hours ago, this address spent 4.34 million DAI to repurchase 2,405 ETH at a price of $1,804.
According to CCTV Finance, the US stock memory chip sector encountered a collective correction after hitting a high in late June, with industry leaders such as SanDisk, Micron Technology, Seagate Technology, and Western Digital seeing stock price declines of over 20% in the past few weeks. The triggering factor was Meta selling computing power, which sparked market concerns about a surplus in computing power, while the core variable lies in whether the technical gaps between various AI large models will continue to narrow. Industry insiders point out that the memory chip industry has historically exhibited significant cyclicality—during booms, manufacturers collectively expand production leading to plummeting prices and industry-wide losses, followed by collective contraction in capital expenditure. Meanwhile, the industry's business model is undergoing profound changes, with cloud vendors and AI data centers increasingly signing 3-to-5-year long-term supply agreements with original manufacturers, including price ranges and minimum purchase volumes, to ensure the stability of key supply chains.
according to on-chain analyst Ember monitoring, 8 million LAB tokens were transferred to Aster and are suspected to have been sold on the spot market. At the time of transfer, the price was still $1.2, but dropped 26% to $0.89 several hours later. Meanwhile, after LAB entered Aster, the trading volume of LAB on Aster increased significantly.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), $LAB flash crashed from $17.68 to $1.05 within three days starting from July 6, a decline of 94%, with the coin price falling back to the level before the suspected market manipulation began two months ago. Meanwhile, suspected insider addresses remain active on-chain, having transferred 7.99 million LAB to three new addresses 3 hours ago; currently worth about $9.24 million, this batch of tokens was worth as high as $141 million three days ago, and the purpose of the transfer is currently unknown.
Odaily Odaily News: On-chain analyst Ai Yi posted on platform X, stating that according to Doinb's revelation, LoL S4 World Champion Imp suddenly stopped streaming in March 2026 because he made profits from stock trading and no longer needed to stream. Imp previously mentioned during a livestream that "the money earned from streaming in a month is less than what I earn from stock trading in a day," and that "between March and October 2025, his assets increased tenfold, heavily investing in SK Hynix and buying NVIDIA."Additionally, the timing of Imp's streaming hiatus closely coincides with the rise of South Korean semiconductor stocks. However, Imp himself has not responded to the rumors of achieving financial freedom. Meanwhile, MLXG, who is also known for using his salary to trade stocks, heavily invested in baijiu (Chinese liquor) stocks, and his assets have nearly gone to zero.
Odaily reports, according to DefiLlama data, Binance saw a net outflow of $1.23 billion in the week starting June 29, a 207% increase from approximately $400 million the previous week. The total monthly net outflow stands at about $3.2 billion. CryptoQuant indicates that Binance's single-day ETH withdrawal transactions exceeded 166,000, marking the highest level in over three years. Over the same period, ETH rose approximately 12.5% in the past seven days, trading at $1,766 at press time; BTC gained 4.3% in the same period, trading at $62,925 at press time.DefiLlama data shows that Bitfinex recorded an outflow of $407.5 million over the past week, Gate saw $214.3 million in outflows, OKX had $87.1 million, and Bybit saw $78.4 million. Meanwhile, Crypto.com and HashKey Exchange posted net inflows of approximately $63 million and $53.3 million, respectively, while KuCoin, Gemini, and Bitvavo recorded net inflows of $22.1 million, $17.4 million, and $15.8 million.

According to on-chain analyst Ember's monitoring, amidst the ongoing correction in the crypto market, the total market capitalization of USD stablecoins has decreased by approximately $10 billion from its recent peak, currently maintaining a total scale of around $300 billion. Meanwhile, some funds are believed to have flowed into the US stock market, which has exhibited stronger wealth effects this year.The latest quarterly data reveals varying degrees of capital outflow among leading stablecoins:Tether (USDT): Total supply decreased from approximately $189.8 billion to $184.1 billion, a net outflow of about $5.7 billion.USD Coin (USDC): Total supply decreased from approximately $79.6 billion to $73 billion, a net outflow of about $6.6 billion, making it the stablecoin with the largest outflow in this round.Tokens associated with USDC issuer Circle are also under pressure, with its stock price declining from around $136 to near $64, indicating a cooling of market expectations for its growth.In contrast, the stablecoin USD1 recorded a net inflow of approximately $500 million during the same period, with its total supply growing from about $4.1 billion to $4.6 billion, becoming one of the few assets to increase against the trend. However, this growth is partly attributed to interest subsidy incentive mechanisms on trading platforms, such as activities on certain exchanges that guide user holdings and trading behavior.
Odaily News, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on platform X that currently, active Bitcoin investors are floating at a loss of about 20% on average, and market sentiment is in a "devaluation" phase, but has not yet reached the deep pressure levels typical of historical bear markets.Darkfost pointed out that the True Market Mean (TMM) is currently around $76,700. This indicator reflects the average cost basis of active circulating BTC supply (excluding coins that have been dormant for a long time, potentially lost, or illiquid). Historically, this level acted as a significant resistance zone in May, where some investors chose to exit the market without incurring losses or with minor losses. Meanwhile, the AVIV Ratio (Active Value to Investor Value) is currently around 0.8, meaning active investors are down approximately 20% from their cost basis. In contrast, during historical bear markets, this indicator typically drops to 0.5–0.6, corresponding to a deeper drawdown of about 40%–50%.Analysis suggests that in this cycle, the entry of institutional funds and ETFs has not changed Bitcoin's cyclical nature; the market continues to operate within its own structural framework. Although significant devaluation pressure is already evident, it may not necessarily need to fall to historical bear market extreme levels to trigger a rebound. Overall, cautious judgment regarding cyclical fluctuations remains necessary.
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), as the price of ANSEM continues to rise, its market cap has surpassed $350 million. Meanwhile, the ANSEM assets held by crypto KOL Ansem are currently valued at over $204 million.
: "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity posted on platform X, stating that based on the capital flow direction in China's private VC market, institutions are currently pouring into fields related to Physical AI and World Models on a large scale.Data shows the approximate capital distribution as follows: Large Models/LLMs at about $23.56 billion, AI Infrastructure and Technology Layer at about $15.74 billion, Embodied Intelligence/Physical AI at about $13.36 billion, AIGC Applications at about $8.79 billion, and Autonomous Driving plus other top 20 sub-sectors totaling about $3.82 billion (note: metrics may not be directly comparable).Serenity pointed out that early-stage pure foundational model financing is largely closed, with capital more concentrated in existing leading companies and the World Model direction. He expects this trend to also appear in the US, potentially concentrating further towards leading companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. Regarding AIGC applications, Serenity believes this track's commercialization is already relatively mature, but an absolute winner has yet to emerge, exhibiting a fragmented competitive landscape in both China and the US markets.Overall, Serenity concluded that current AI investments continue to flow into infrastructure and the semiconductor supply chain. Meanwhile, capital is rapidly rotating towards Physical AI and Embodied Intelligence, but the World Model track still lacks direct investment targets.
10x Research published an analysis noting that US employment data stronger than expected temporarily caused Bitcoin price volatility, and ETF fund outflows also exacerbated selling pressure. However, active buying from long-term holders helped form price support for the market. Meanwhile, weak employment data also led the market to delay its expectation for the next rate hike from October 2026 to December, providing certain support for Bitcoin's short-term trend. 10x Research added that historical data shows July has always been a month where Bitcoin performs relatively strongly, with an average gain of 9.1%. However, the market usually enters a consolidation phase from August to September, and September might become the low point of this cycle. Bitcoin recently rebounded from $58,500 to $61,500, which may be providing new positioning opportunities for traders.
: According to Adam, a macro researcher at Greeks.live, Bitcoin has reclaimed the $60,000 level. Currently, GEX is concentrated around the $60,000 mark. As prices repeatedly fluctuate around this key level, both call and put positions have accumulated at this point.However, put positions are currently distributed in the $55,000 to $60,000 range, with a vacuum zone below $55,000. If breached, there is significant room for a decline. Meanwhile, the area above $60,000 is where prices have repeatedly traded in recent months, with more evenly distributed positions. Overall, the downside risk is greater. Macro uncertainty, coupled with capital outflows from the United States, makes it difficult to support the cryptocurrency market. Currently, selling call options offers better value.
Bitcoin rebounded above $61,000 on Thursday, recovering from 21-month lows hit earlier this week, showing signs of stabilization following a period of high volatility. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of approximately $296 million on July 1, extending the trend of capital exodus. June alone saw outflows of about $4.5 billion, marking one of the worst months on record. Among them, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF led with a single-day net inflow of $36.3 million.On-chain data indicates that long-term holders have re-entered an accumulation phase after an extended period of distribution, with buying pressure increasing from addresses holding 100–1000 BTC. Currently, approximately 10.83 million BTC are in a state of unrealized loss, surpassing the 9.22 million BTC that are in profit. Glassnode analyst Chris Beamish noted that the Coinbase order book shows increased buying depth, and market makers' Gamma positioning is stabilizing, suggesting structural support is forming. However, the derivatives market remains cautious. The options market Put/Call ratio has risen to a one-year high, with implied volatility increasing, reflecting heightened demand for hedging. Meanwhile, long leverage exposure on Hyperliquid has climbed to a cyclical high, indicating diverging market sentiment.On the price structure front, Bitcoin briefly broke below $58,000 before repeatedly testing support. It currently remains below the critical Gamma Flip zone of around $68,000. The realized price of approximately $53,000 is viewed as a key structural support level. On the macroeconomic front, US non-farm payroll data came in below expectations, pushing back expectations for the timing of interest rate cuts. The broader crypto market remains in a phase of capital rotation and structural competition. (The Block)
According to Hyperinsight monitoring, over the past hour, a whale chased the rise of HOOD with 10x leverage, with a position size of $1.12 million, an average price of $109.6, and a relatively aggressive liquidation price set at $103.6. Meanwhile, the address simultaneously opened a 25x leverage BTC long position with a size of $2.76 million and an average price of $60,494.
Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading narrowly between $59,000 and $60,000 for the fifth consecutive day. However, analysts warn that this "calm" market condition may conceal greater risks, with the key issue being that this oscillation is occurring within a downtrend.FxPro's Chief Market Analyst, Alex Kuptsikevich, stated that the current price action resembles Bitcoin's consolidation between $55,000 and $70,000 from March to October 2024, but the contexts differ. The previous consolidation occurred in a rising market, whereas the current oscillation is below support levels. Additionally, both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are trending downward, indicating the market remains bearish.Kuptsikevich noted that if this consolidation pattern breaks to the downside, rather than forming a base for a rebound, Bitcoin's next significant support zone could be near the $40,000 level.On-chain data is also signaling pressure. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost indicated that long-term holders may be engaging in loss-making selling behavior. In historical cycles, this phase is typically accompanied by short-term pressure, but it may also become a long-term buying opportunity.Meanwhile, market demand remains relatively weak, with active address counts and on-chain transaction activity both at recent lows. Financial pressure on corporate Bitcoin giant Strategy has also heightened market concerns. Its preferred stock, STRC, recently fell to around $71, while its common stock dropped approximately 25% in a week, hitting its lowest level since February 2024.Strategy previously stated that it might sell over $1 billion worth of its Bitcoin reserves to improve its financial situation. This is seen as a significant shift from founder Michael Saylor's "never sell" strategy.Additionally, a strengthening US dollar and continued capital flows into AI-related assets in the US stock market are exerting pressure on dollar-denominated risk assets like Bitcoin. BTC is currently on track to end the second quarter with a decline of approximately 13%, while US stocks remain strong due to the AI investment boom. (CoinDesk)
According to crypto analyst Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc), since 2026, over 100,000 BTC have flowed out of ETF provider reserves; if calculated from the historical high of ETF holdings in October 2025, cumulative outflows have exceeded 160,000 BTC, with estimated losses surpassing $11 billion, setting the largest drawdown record in ETF history. The current BTC realized price is approximately $73,000, with most holders already in floating losses, and bear market pressure extending to top institutions such as BlackRock. Meanwhile, 84% of altcoin prices have fallen below the 200-day moving average, every rebound attempt has ended in failure, and the altcoin market has become the hardest-hit sector in this bear market.
Odaily Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated in a recent CNBC interview that he remains long-term bullish on Bitcoin, while strongly criticizing Michael Saylor and his strategy of continuously purchasing Bitcoin by financing through preferred stock, arguing that this "financial engineering" approach is negatively impacting the crypto market.Garlinghouse pointed out that Strategy's reliance on issuing preferred stock (such as STRC) to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases essentially acts as a distraction in the market rather than creating long-term value. He emphasized: "Financial engineering does not create long-term value; the long-term value of digital assets comes from real utility." He specifically noted that STRC's stock price has fallen to a discount of approximately 25% from its par value, which he described as a "strong vote of no confidence" in that financing structure. Against the backdrop of market pressure this week, Strategy's common stock hit its lowest level since February 2024, and Bitcoin briefly fell below $59,000.On the market front, a CryptoQuant report indicated that if the dividend structure continues, Strategy's cash buffer has decreased from over seven years to approximately 14 months, suggesting a pause in Bitcoin purchases and a rebuilding of reserve funds. Currently, STRC trading below $100 has also rendered its "issue tokens—buy Bitcoin" funding flywheel temporarily ineffective. However, Benchmark-StoneX analyst Mark Palmer believes this model reflects more of a "decline in efficiency" rather than a systemic breakdown. Meanwhile, Ripple continues to adopt an industry-contrarian perspective, reiterating the distinct value path of its ecosystem asset XRP compared to Bitcoin. (CoinDesk)
