1. Market Environment

Yesterday, BTC led a market-wide pullback followed by a surge to $65,500. It then began declining, with the price now fluctuating around $63,500. The high volatility triggered significant liquidations, with $150 million in long positions and $70 million in short positions liquidated, creating noticeable intra-day trading opportunities.
The U.S dollar Index climbed back above 105, and the overall U.S. capital market rose, with the Nasdaq increasing by 1.19%, providing emotional support to the crypto market. BTC ETFs saw an inflow of $217 million yesterday, and GBTC had net inflows for two consecutive trading days, easing the selling pressure from BTC ETFs temporarily. Moving forward, the $62,500 level should be monitored as a strong support for potential buying opportunities in BTC.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements – AI Sector (NEAR, AR, and RNDR)

Primary reasons:
The AI sector has shown strong resilience and quick recovery in the current market downturn, making it a favorite among venture capitalists this cycle. Notably, NEAR, AR, and RNDR are leaders in specific segments within the AI sector.
Gainers: Over the past 7 days, NEAR has increased by 10%, RNDR by 34%, and AR by 15%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Impact of traditional tech companies: Tech companies are continuously deploying AI projects. Recently, there was news that Microsoft is internally training a new artificial intelligence model, MAI-1, allocating more resources towards the AI sector. AI projects in the crypto market, being part of the same sector, have the potential for valuation increases.
  • Focus on AI narrative: Applications in the AI sector require attention not only to their narrative potential but also to the actual market demand and user base. There are already several deployable AI applications in the crypto space, and investors should focus more on the demand aspect of these applications.

2.2 Sector Movements — Solana Ecosystem (SOL, KMNO, and JTO)

Primary reasons: 1. SOL, the native token of Solana, has been continuously rising recently, outperforming BTC and ETH, with a net inflow of funds into the ecosystem; 2. FTX's second round of locked SOL tokens auction concluded with prices ranging between $95 and $110.
Gainers: Over the past 7 days, SOL has increased by 14%, KMNO by 75%, and JTO by 23%.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Futures data: Utilize the tv.coinglass to understand the direction of major funds, and monitor futures data, especially the increase in net long positions. Check if there is a rise in open interest (OI) and trading volume. If so, it indicates increased bullish buying, suggesting that holdings can be maintained.
  • Actions by projects: Solana is currently promoting the concept of Restaking, drawing on Eigenlayer to perform objective substantiation at the consensus layer, which boosts the entire ecosystem.

2.3 Sectors to Focus on Next — ETH Ecosystem

Primary reason: The ETH ecosystem is currently undervalued. However, with the ETF developments and SEC’s advancing lawsuits against related DeFi projects, the ETH ecosystem will become more compliant, offering potential for further expansion.
Specific tokens:
  • UNI: The first DeFi Swap project among blockchain applications, which recently received a Wells notice from the SEC. Uniswap is expected to soon present self-defense, creating trading opportunities.
  • LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem. It has a TVL of $28.7 billion but is valued at just under $2 billion, making it relatively undervalued.

Global focus:
RNDR: Yesterday, all tokens in the AI sector, including RNDR, experienced a rise. Notable on-chain transfer activity was observed with RNDR. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference is set to start on June 10, potentially leading to increased speculation around RNDR. Previously, the price of RNDR saw significant fluctuations around the release of Apple Vision Pro.
TRB: Controlled by whales, TRB has seen a significant rise over the last two days, with a 72% increase in the past 7 days. In Q4 of 2023, TRB experienced two major short-term pump and dump events, resulting in high liquidation volumes. Traders should be wary of the risks associated with the extreme volatility of such strongly controlled tokens.
Regional focus:
Yesterday, the trending searches across various regions showed significant differences without a consistent pattern globally. The hottest keywords and tokens globally were Grass, TRB, RNDR, and JUP.
However, the term "Tom Brady" topped the hot search lists in regions including Europe, USA and Asia. Tom Brady became upset over cryptocurrency-related jokes during Netflix roast after suffering significant losses on his crypto investments.
