MARKET UPDATE: Bitcoin Rally, Zcash ETF, Bessent Humbled, NVDA Earnings
Bitcoin’s 25% rally toward $80K reflects a shift from AI productivity to Treasury and Fed-driven debasement, after equity vol cooled and Bessent deployed capital to defend yields.Avi sees a reasonable chance of $95K-$100K within six weeks and substantial ZCAF flows, with $15.5M in day-one volume comparable to BSOL as a percentage of market cap.The key risk is that this remains an early-innings lockout rally rather than a new bull trend, while NVDA’s crowded short positioning creates a potential one-to-two-day rebound catalyst into earnings.
MARKET UPDATE: FED Backstops The Yen, Metals Rip, And Neoclouds Rebound
The yen intervention may be a Treasury backstop designed to prevent Japanese reserve sales from pushing U.S. yields higher, reinforcing a policy regime where Washington’s favored assets and lower rates shape positioning.Avi sees metals rotating as central-bank selling reverses, while Jonah prefers copper’s supply bottleneck and direct exposure; crypto remains resilient, but HOOD offers a higher-margin expression and political risk could redefine the rally.
Has Memory Bottomed?
Only 2.2% of US households pay for AI subscriptions, leaving a large adoption runway that could flow to Micron, MSFT, Meta and Google.A 40% memory drawdown has not ended Avi’s thesis, but Korean margin calls show bubble-like leverage, making forced selling and earnings misses the risks to monitor.
Who's Coming For The Market In Q3?
Avi sees the hyperscaler-to-memory melt-up becoming fully priced, prompting a rotation toward indexes and AI downstream beneficiaries such as ARKG and Reddit.Jonah still sees fundamental support in Micron at 7.5x forward earnings, while both debate dollar strength, Bitcoin’s 1-2 year outlook, and whether rising volatility demands smaller Intel positions.
Is The Soft Landing Officially Dead?
The next Fed meeting’s 5% tail flipped from a cut to a hike as PPI rose 1.4% MoM versus 0.5% expected and oil stayed above $100 with Hormuz closed.Avi moved to 30% cash targeting 50%, while Jonah trimmed 7%; memory remains a demand-driven bottleneck, but inflation and capital withdrawal from OpenAI and Anthropic are the risks to monitor.
