Analysis: OpenAI IPO Delay Rumors Impact Market Sentiment, US Stock Futures Fall, Tech and Chip Sectors Lead Declines
US stock futures fell across the board on Friday, with the tech sector leading the decline, as market concerns over rising AI infrastructure costs and a slowdown in fundraising pace intensified. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.2%, S&P 500 futures dropped 0.5%, and Dow Jones futures lost 67 points (-0.1%). Chip stocks broadly weakened following reports that OpenAI is considering postponing its IPO until next year, citing increased volatility in AI-related stocks, unstable market sentiment, and even the impact of SpaceX’s weak post-IPO performance.JPMorgan's trading desk noted that this news has reinforced market concerns about the sustainability of AI infrastructure investments and could affect the pace of future capital market fundraising. Vital Knowledge analyst Adam Crisafulli also stated that the IPO delay could slow down the overall expansion rate of AI infrastructure spending.In the chip sector, Philadelphia Semiconductor-related stocks came under pressure, with ON Semiconductor falling over 13% after acquiring Synaptics. Micron Technology and SanDisk both declined by more than 5%. The XLK ETF tracking the tech sector fell 1.6%, extending the previous session's losses. (CNBC)
Jiang Zhuoer Analyzes MSTR Capital Structure: BTC Reserves Can Cover Years of Dividend Payments, But Market Sentiment Remains Cautious
Jiang Zhuoer stated in a post that MicroStrategy (MSTR) currently holds approximately $55 billion in Bitcoin assets, corresponding to an annual dividend payment of about $1.7 billion for its STRC preferred stock. Theoretically, selling BTC could cover dividend requirements for roughly 32 years.STRC is classified as preferred stock rather than a debt instrument, so there is no traditional mandatory principal repayment pressure. From a financial structure perspective, MSTR does not face "liquidation-style leverage risk" or short-term solvency crises. However, the discussion itself reflects growing market concerns about the company's long-term cash flow and cryptocurrency asset volatility. STRC has already experienced significant discount fluctuations, limiting its refinancing capabilities.Furthermore, MSTR has recently relied more on issuing common stock (which may dilute BTC per share when mNAV is below 1) to fund its BTC accumulation. This strategy is difficult to sustain over the long term.Jiang Zhuoer indicated that even if the scale of MSTR's actual BTC sales to pay dividends is relatively small compared to the broader market, the symbolic significance may be more important. It could pressure market confidence and prompt investors to reassess the possibility of "long-term passive BTC selling." Market understanding of this structure is not uniform, and this divergence in perception itself could become an important factor influencing expectations and sentiment.
Defensive Sentiment Intensifies in the Options Market: Nearly 40% of Trades Are Put Options, Major Spread Position Amounts to Approximately $200 Million
Odaily News, Greeks.live analyzed on X platform that today, Bitcoin Put block trades accounted for nearly 40% of the total volume. The concentrated trades were bear put spreads for end-of-May, involving $75,000/$71,000 strikes, with a total notional value of nearly $200 million. Investors are leveraging the rebound to build defensive positions for the last ten days of the month.Overall, the market leans towards hedging against a pullback but does not anticipate a crash. May and June have traditionally been considered unfavorable months for the market. This month, major investors have been consistently increasing their defensive positions: buying effective protection, selling tail risk financing, and controlling costs.
Forbes Criticizes Eric Trump’s Bitcoin Company as an Arbitrage Tool Exploiting MAGA Investor Sentiment
According to Forbes, Eric Trump, the second son of Donald Trump, promoted his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin as a “money-printing machine,” but it is in fact an arbitrage tool exploiting MAGA investors’ sentiment. The company attracted investors through exaggerated marketing, leveraged the premium associated with the Trump brand to issue shares at inflated valuations, raised cash, and then used the proceeds to purchase Bitcoin—while ordinary investors suffered heavy losses. Since its listing in September, the company has sold approximately 158 million shares, raising roughly $351 million, and used those funds to buy approximately $390 million worth of Bitcoin. The company claims its mining cost is around $58,000 per Bitcoin, but when equipment depreciation and other expenses are included, its total cost per Bitcoin reaches approximately $90,000—higher than Bitcoin’s current market price. The company faces risks from its mining-rig financing agreements: if Bitcoin’s price does not rebound, all the Bitcoin it mines may be used to repay equipment vendors. The company employs only two full-time staff members; its stock price has plunged 92% from its peak, and investor losses are estimated at around $500 million. Eric Trump’s personal wealth increased from approximately $190 million to $280 million. In response, Eric Trump posted on X, calling Forbes “a political weapon and a disgrace to journalism.” He stated that American Bitcoin was founded just over a year ago and has been publicly listed for 7 months and 25 days. It currently holds over 7,000 Bitcoins, ranks as the world’s 16th-largest publicly traded Bitcoin company, and operates nearly 90,000 mining rigs.
Probability drops to historic low, expectations for formal enactment of the CLARITY Act in 2026 turn bearish
Sentiment regarding bets on the formal enactment of the CLARITY Act in 2026 has turned bearish, with the probability of the bill being passed within the year falling to a historic low. The market's peak expectation for the bill at the beginning of the year once reached 82%, but as negotiations have hit multiple deadlocks, the probability has continued to decline. The core disagreements hindering the bill's progress include a standoff over ethics clauses, opposition from banking lobbying groups regarding provisions related to stablecoin interest payments, as well as a tight congressional schedule and the approaching midterm elections, which have compressed the window for deliberation and voting. Although major industry players generally support this comprehensive digital asset regulatory bill, traders believe that the multiple disagreements cannot be resolved in the short term, and the bill will likely be unable to complete the full legislative process and take effect within 2026.
Analysis: Bitcoin Bullish Sentiment Bolstered by Falling Inflation Expectations, Market Awaits July CPI Data
Odaily, July 5th - The cryptocurrency market continued its stabilization trend, with Bitcoin rising nearly 7% in the week ending July 5th, recording its strongest weekly performance since March. This rally was primarily fueled by declining inflation expectations. The breakeven inflation rate, a measure of market inflation expectations, has dropped notably recently. The two-year indicator has fallen below 2%, approaching the Federal Reserve's inflation target level, while long-term inflation expectations have also weakened. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil prices have fallen in tandem with inflation expectations, returning to levels close to those seen before the geopolitical conflicts in February, prompting the market to reassess inflation pressures, interest rate cut expectations, and the dollar's trajectory.Some analysts suggest that if the US Dollar Index (DXY) weakens, it could further lower resistance for Bitcoin’s upward movement, as the two typically exhibit a negative correlation. However, other viewpoints caution that services inflation remains sticky, and falling oil prices do not necessarily imply a reversal of the overall inflation trend. Monetary policy may continue to maintain a "higher for longer" stance.The next key milestone for the market is the US June CPI data due on July 14th, which could serve as a crucial catalyst for determining the inflation path and the direction of risk assets.

Analysis: Tech Stock Recovery Boosts Risk Sentiment, Bitcoin Rebounds Slightly After Hitting Recent Lows
following Micron Technology's optimistic earnings report and Qualcomm's positive performance outlook, sentiment in the technology sector has notably warmed, driving a rebound in market risk appetite and alleviating earlier concerns over a slowdown in AI-related trading. Driven by this, Bitcoin recovered after hitting a 20-month low, rebounding 0.3% to $61,106, after briefly dipping to $59,062 during the session. Market focus now shifts to the upcoming U.S. PCE inflation data, which could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's future interest rate policy and further sway the performance of risk assets.
The proportion of bearish US stock investors has risen to 47.7%, approaching the year's high of 52%

Macroeconomic Outlook for Next Week | U.S.-Iran Tensions Reach a Critical Juncture; Nonfarm Payrolls Data Unlikely to Break Gold’s Stalemate
According to JIN10, U.S. President Trump criticized Tehran’s leadership for lacking unity, which he said is hindering agreement on ending the nine-week conflict that has triggered a global energy crisis. He stated that “Iran’s requests are ones I cannot accept,” though some traders interpreted this as a negotiating tactic rather than an abandonment of peace efforts. Investors will be watching for a new batch of U.S. corporate earnings reports and U.S. employment data. Below are the key market focus points for the coming week: Tuesday, 00:50: John Williams, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a permanent voting member of the FOMC, delivers a speech; Tuesday, 22:00: U.S. April ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and U.S. March JOLTS Job Openings; Wednesday, 20:15: U.S. April ADP Employment Change; Wednesday, 21:30: Alberto Musalem, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and an FOMC voter in 2028, speaks on the economic outlook and monetary policy; Thursday, 01:00: Austan Goolsbee, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and an FOMC voter in 2027, participates in a panel discussion at a conference; Thursday, 19:30: U.S. April Challenger Job Cuts; Friday, 02:05: Loretta Mester, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and an FOMC voter in 2026, delivers a speech; Friday, 03:30: John Williams, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a permanent voting member of the FOMC, delivers a speech; Friday, 22:00: U.S. May one-year inflation expectation (preliminary), U.S. May University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (preliminary), and U.S. March wholesale sales (month-on-month). Forecasters expect the April nonfarm payrolls report—due next Friday—to show solid job growth.
Analyst: Bitcoin Funding Rate Turns Positive Again, Market Sentiment May See Turning Point
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that since July, sentiment in the derivatives market has recovered, and the Binance funding rate, as an important reference indicator for the futures market, has started to turn positive again. He believes that from March to late May, Bitcoin experienced a deep correction, market pessimism accumulated and drove the funding rate to turn negative at one point, and this process once provided support for Bitcoin's technical rebound.

Glassnode: Long-Term Holders Re-accumulate BTC, Institutional Capital Outflows and Defensive Sentiment Coexist
Glassnode's latest weekly report points out that after Bitcoin fell below $60,000, market sentiment remains suppressed by continuous net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, defensive options hedging, and expectations of macro tightening. However, on-chain data shows that long-term holders have resumed accumulation, with multiple wallet size groups absorbing supply simultaneously, indicating that some high-conviction capital is gradually absorbing selling pressure.
Glassnode: Bitcoin Stabilizes Around $60,000, Market Sentiment Heavily Defensive
on-chain data analytics firm Glassnode has released its latest weekly market summary, noting that Bitcoin has briefly stabilized around the $60,000 level. However, the market is characterized by strong defensive traits and a lack of bullish confidence.The spot market is range-bound, with trading activity slightly increasing. Yet, capital continues to flow out on a net basis, and market liquidity is primarily driven by distribution, with no large-scale accumulation observed. The derivatives market is persistently deleveraging, with traders prioritizing downside hedging protection and showing low willingness for directional long positions. Funding rates remain low, indicating a generally weak risk appetite. Institutional pressure is significant, as US spot Bitcoin ETFs are collectively in a state of unrealized losses, with continued net capital outflows and low willingness among institutions to increase positions.Glassnode states that the current market is undergoing a period of structural adjustment and capital contraction. The $60,000 level provides only temporary support, and there are no signs of recovery in spot orders, derivatives positions, or institutional capital. For a sustained upward trend to emerge, a significant restoration of confidence among buyers is required.

CryptoQuant Analyst: Temporary Shift Toward Neutral Global Risk Appetite, Coupled with SpaceX IPO, Eases Market Sentiment
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated on X that the current Global Risk On/Off indicator is neutral. Recent signs of de-escalation in the conflict—potentially linked to statements by relevant leaders—and growing market expectations around SpaceX’s IPO are influencing investor sentiment. It is reported that approximately 372 oil tankers remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, carrying roughly 26 million tons of hydrocarbons. This situation may continue to affect global energy supply expectations and serve as a key variable for market risk sentiment. Currently, risk assets remain in a phase shaped by multiple overlapping factors—including geopolitical developments, shifts in liquidity, and capital market events involving major tech companies—while investors await clearer directional signals.
Santiment: BTC Social Sentiment Bullish Ratio Hits Four-Month High
According to on-chain data platform Santiment (@SantimentData), as Bitcoin’s price reclaimed the $80,000 level, the ratio of bullish-to-bearish comments on social media rose to 1.37:1.00—the highest in nearly four months—signaling a notable surge in market optimism. However, Santiment cautions that historically, sharp increases in bullish sentiment often serve as warning signs rather than buy signals. When retail FOMO dominates social media discussions, traders tend to enter positions late in the trend, raising the likelihood of local tops, profit-taking, and sudden price volatility. Santiment notes that peak market euphoria frequently coincides with the onset of waning momentum. By comparison, following the Kelp DAO vulnerability incident in mid-April, social sentiment plunged into deeply bearish territory; the exit of “weak-handed investors” instead laid a healthier foundation for the current rally. With sentiment now having reversed dramatically, Santiment advises traders to remain vigilant against potential risks stemming from excessive leverage and overly concentrated positions.
QCP: BTC Monthly Gain Exceeds 14%; Geopolitical and Security Incidents Disrupt Market Sentiment
QCP Group’s analysis states that U.S.-Iran negotiations have once again collapsed, while the Middle East ceasefire continues, leaving the overall geopolitical landscape relatively static. A shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with Trump suspected as the target. Following Asia’s market open, BTC briefly surged past $79,000 and ETH above $2,400—but gains quickly reversed amid concerns triggered by news of Iran’s Foreign Minister traveling to Russia for talks with Putin. Since early April, BTC has rallied over 14% cumulatively, marking four consecutive weeks of positive closes. Spot ETFs recorded nine straight days of net inflows totaling approximately $2.11 billion. Strategy funds added over $3.8 billion worth of BTC in the past month. The current key resistance level for BTC lies near the CME gap around $82,000. BTC perpetual contract funding rates remain persistently negative; a breakout above this level could trigger short-covering. Implied volatility continues declining, and risk-reversal skew has narrowed somewhat, signaling gradually rising market interest in upside exposure. Key events this week: - April 29: Earnings reports from Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google, plus the FOMC interest-rate decision. - April 30: Apple earnings report, U.S. Q1 GDP data, and March PCE inflation data.

Korean Stock Market's Correlation with Nasdaq Nears Two-Year High, Becoming a Barometer for Global AI Investment Sentiment
Odaily News As the correlation between the South Korean stock market and US tech stocks continues to strengthen, global fund managers are increasingly viewing the Korean market as a leading indicator for gauging AI investment sentiment. It has become a new norm to monitor the pre-market movements of Korean tech giants like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.Data shows that the 60-day correlation coefficient between the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) and the Nasdaq 100 Index has risen to 0.46, approaching its highest level in two years and roughly three times the five-year average of 0.16. Notably, during market downturns, the Nasdaq's sensitivity to KOSPI movements increases significantly, with the relevant indicator reaching its highest level since 1990 on the 7th of this month.Driven by concerns over AI demand prospects, the KOSPI plunged nearly 9% on the 13th of this month, dragging SK Hynix's ADR down over 9% and contributing to a broad decline in the US semiconductor sector. Institutional sources including J.P. Morgan Asset Management and PineBridge noted that global investors now use the Korean market to assess risk appetite in the AI sector, even tracking SK Hynix ADR and related ETF performance after the Korean market closes.Ivan Feinseth, Chief Investment Officer at Tigris Financial Partners, stated that the Korean market, along with the Nasdaq and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, has formed a core coordinate system for global tech stock volatility. Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and the KOSPI are becoming "pre-market indicators" for risk appetite in the US AI and semiconductor markets.However, since its June peak, the KOSPI has fallen by a cumulative 25%, wiping out approximately $1 trillion in market value. Both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix shares have dropped over 30% from their highs. Leveraged trading has amplified market volatility, making the South Korean stock market one of the most volatile among major global indices. (Bloomberg)

US Consumer Confidence Index rises to 54.4, declining inflation expectations bring relief to the Federal Reserve
Samuel Tombs from Pantheon noted the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index rose from 49.5 in June to 54.4, above the 50.5 expected by economists, yet still below last year’s average. Samuel Tombs pointed out that declining inflation expectations offer some relief to the Federal Reserve, but the lack of leverage for workers means the likelihood of wage growth rising due to the recent rebound in headline inflation is very low.
