1. Market Environment

The BTC market has seen an overall decline in the past 24 hours, with BTC dipping to a low of $58,400 before rebounding. The main catalyst was Mt. Gox’s announcement yesterday regarding the initiation of BTC repayments, coupled with market concerns over the potential dumping of its 140,000 BTC holdings, which triggered panic selling sentiment. BTC surged 5% after reaching $58,400 and is currently fluctuating around $61,500. BTC futures funding rates have turned negative. Keep an eye on potential rebound opportunities in the near future.
In U.S. capital markets, investment aggregation began to decline as NASDAQ fell by 1.09% and NVIDIA plummeted by 6.68% in a single day, marking a 15% decline over three consecutive days. Fed net liquidity increased by $400 billion in a week. The last short-term surge occurred during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, affecting BTC prices due to liquidity issues caused by the collapse.

2. Wealth Creation Sectors

2.1 Sector Movements: AI Sector (AGIX, FET, OCEAN)

Primary reasons:
  • Binance recently announced support for the merger of FET, AGIX, and OCEAN into ASI, causing a buzz in Europe and the USA and garnering high community interest.
  • Assets in the AI sector have likely bottomed out, with technical indicators showing potential for a rebound.
Gainers: AGIX, FET, and OCEAN increased by over 20% in 24 hours.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Post-market trading activity: Monitor whether trading volume in the sector continues to grow during the current rebound phase. If trading volume remains high and coin prices continue to rise, this suggests that trading activity can be maintained and sustained.
  • Future performance of the three merged projects: Stay informed about SingularityNET's X account. A recent technical AMA discussed the project's future development. Innovative products could support long-term holding strategies.

2.2 Sector Movements: Solana Sector (SOL, POPCAT, WIF)

Primary reason: SOL was the first to reach its previous low, touching the $120 mark before rebounding, driving up the value of memecoins in the ecosystem.
Gainers: SOL, POPCAT, and WIF rose by 8%, 60%, and 20%, respectively, within 24 hours.
Factors affecting future market conditions:
  • Community information: Memecoin operations significantly influence market movements. Stay updated on AMA sessions and X posts for timely trading opportunities.
  • Changes in open interest: SOL's recent increase in open interest suggests increased hot money inflows. Utilize tv.coinglass to gauge the movement of major funds and monitor futures data, particularly focusing on the uptick in net long positions. Keep an eye on futures data for any increase in open interest (OI) and trading volume. Such trends typically signify heightened bullish sentiment, implying potential stability in holdings.

2.3 Sectors to Focus on Next — ETH ecosystem projects

Primary reason: The S-1 filings for Ethereum spot ETFs are likely to get approval from the SEC in early July, which could generate hype around ETH ecosystem assets. This sector has seen a significant pullback recently, creating an investment opportunity.
Specific tokens:
  • UNI: Uniswap, the first DeFi Swap project on the blockchain, generated over $2 million in transaction fees over the past 24 hours, indicating substantial revenue.
  • LDO: A leading LSD project within the ETH ecosystem, with a TVL of $34.4 billion and a valuation just under $2.5 million, indicating it is relatively undervalued.
  • PENDLE: The project's TVL continues to rise, now standing at $6.6 billion. Increased stablecoin market caps and demand in the restaking sector support PENDLE's services during the bull market.
