- Financial conditions are tightening, which is expected to limit any material changes in the market until broader liquidity improves.
- The dollar is rolling over and is about to set a new lower low, which is viewed positively for crypto markets.
- Bitcoin's price action is nearly the inverse of the dollar's movement, indicating a correlation between liquidity and Bitcoin's performance.
- Bitcoin is currently below significant moving averages, including the 200-day and 20-week moving averages, suggesting resistance ahead.
- The CoinMarketCap altcoin season index has risen to 45, indicating a relatively high level of activity in the altcoin market.
- Our interpretation: The tightening of financial conditions, along with the dollar's decline, suggests that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may face continued resistance in breaking through key moving averages, potentially leading to sideways trading until liquidity conditions improve.

- Only 32% of the top 200 cryptocurrencies are advancing, indicating a significant decline in overall crypto market breadth.
- While a few cryptocurrencies are performing well, the majority are not, cautioning against viewing this as a sign of a broader market recovery.
- Ethereum is experiencing a rally, driven by the Robinhood layer two blockchain, which is enabling the trading of real-world assets and tokenized equities.
- Ethereum's recent performance is noteworthy, as it has surpassed its mega trend line and lost its red dot, indicating potential upward momentum.
- Despite these positive indicators for Ethereum, the speaker emphasizes the need for it to materially exceed key weekly moving averages to confirm a new uptrend.
FULL
15:00–20:00
- Ethereum's ongoing technological improvements are overshadowed by a fragmented upgrade path involving layer twos, which may diminish its value for token holders.
- Gido Labs has introduced the JTX Exchange, designed to operate on the Solana blockchain and compete with decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid.
- Gido's revenue model incorporates a buyback and burn strategy for its token holders, potentially increasing its attractiveness as an investment.
- The JTX Exchange is set to facilitate trading of tokenized and real-world assets, which could lead to rapid market share growth.
- The potential for Gido and Solana to benefit from the JTX Exchange's adoption suggests a significant development in the crypto landscape.
- Our interpretation: The launch of the JTX Exchange on Solana, with its buyback and burn strategy, could create upward pressure on Gido's token value, while also enhancing Solana's market position. This development may attract speculative interest in both assets, particularly if the exchange gains traction in the broader market.

- Progress is noted for hyper liquid in the US infrastructure, indicating its gradual acceptance and potential importance in future trading environments.
- The trading patterns of hyper liquid are increasingly mirroring those of the equity sector, suggesting a shift in market perception of these assets away from traditional crypto classifications.
- Both hyper liquid and Canton are involved in the settlement of tokenized securities, which may bolster their credibility and adoption within the financial ecosystem.
- Our interpretation: The integration of tokenized securities into traditional markets via blockchain technology could lead to a reevaluation of crypto assets, as they gain recognition as legitimate financial instruments. This shift may affect investor sentiment and trading strategies, particularly in light of evolving USD liquidity and rate differentials.

- The speaker anticipates that improving financial conditions will lead to upward momentum in both stocks and hyper liquid assets.
- Hyper liquid is currently outperforming crypto and is trading closely with the tech sector.
- Positive headlines regarding traditional finance use cases and regulatory approvals are contributing to bullish sentiment around hyper liquid.
- While hyper liquid is in a consolidation phase, it is expected to gain momentum once it secures legal access for perpetual contracts in the U.S.
- Our interpretation: The volatility in stocks and hyper liquid assets suggests a correlation between improving financial conditions and market performance, indicating that as traditional finance integrates with blockchain technology, there may be significant implications for asset classes like equities and crypto.

- Zcash is demonstrating relative strength compared to much of the crypto sector, indicating a positive technical outlook.
- The analysis indicates that Zcash has recovered above its major trend line and is regaining upward momentum.
- Zcash's recent performance includes a bounce off its 20-week moving average and the initiation of a new weekly uptrend.
- The market's recovery of Zcash suggests a lack of concern regarding potential fundamental issues, reflecting a shift in sentiment.
- Zcash, along with Solana, has shown a strong bounce back after being perceived as 'completely dead', which could be interpreted as bullish.
- Our interpretation: The recent technical strength of Zcash, alongside its recovery from previous fundamental concerns, suggests a potential shift in market sentiment that could lead to increased buying pressure. This may indicate a broader trend where cryptocurrencies with unique use cases could attract more mainstream interest, impacting overall crypto market dynamics.

- The project has maintained a steady uptrend since the lows in February, indicating consistent market interest.
- The speaker highlights the necessity of researching projects with strong price action, regardless of personal familiarity.
- Concerns are raised about the project formerly known as Tom, now rebranded as Graham, which has struggled to gain traction despite its Telegram association.
- The speaker cautions against purchasing tokens based solely on price action, noting the risks associated with illiquid tokens that can experience significant volatility.
- Current price action for Graham appears speculative, having recently declined sharply, which adds to doubts about its stability.

- The speakers note a sideways trend in the price action of Ethereum and Solana.
- Despite announcing six million transactions per second, Sweet has not shown any recovery in its chart.
- Sweet's daily active users have fluctuated between 35,000 and 73,000, indicating a downward trend.
- In contrast, Solana's daily active users hover around five million, reflecting greater adoption.
- Solana has multiple protocols generating substantial revenue, while Sweet lacks a significant application to drive its adoption.
FULL
45:00–50:00
- Solana's rise was significantly influenced by the meme coin craze, particularly the launch of Bonk, which brought attention to its ecosystem.
- Jupiter, a decentralized exchange on Solana, is perceived as superior to other swap DEXes due to its advanced features like automated order processes.
- For projects like Sweet to gain traction, they need a major catalyst that captures public interest, similar to what Solana experienced.
- If Sweet does not capitalize on institutional interest or the current market cycle, it may struggle to remain relevant.
- AeroDrome is one of the few cryptocurrencies performing well, remaining above key moving averages, and benefiting from its integration with Coinbase.
- If Coinbase were to withdraw support for AeroDrome, it could lead to a significant decline in its usage and investment appeal.
- Our interpretation: The performance of cryptocurrencies like AeroDrome and Sweet hinges on their ability to attract institutional interest and maintain user engagement, which could dictate their relevance in a competitive market.

- A particular crypto asset has been one of the best performers year to date but is now facing a reckoning.
- Speculation exists about whether the asset will bounce back like it did in February or if its upward momentum has ended.
- The speaker believes the AI narrative remains strong, and the asset's real-world adoption will support its price despite recent volatility.
- Speculative buying may have driven the token price up without sufficient underlying demand from actual users of the product.
- As speculative positions unwind, the asset may return to a more normal valuation, potentially leading to a recovery.
- The speaker emphasizes the importance of monitoring financial conditions, indicating that until conditions improve from red to neutral or green, caution is warranted in trading.
- Our interpretation: The performance of the asset is closely tied to the unwinding of speculative positions and the stabilization of financial conditions, which could dictate its future price trajectory.

- The flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz is reportedly better than previously indicated, with many unaccounted dark transits occurring.
- The US and China successfully filled a shortfall of eight million barrels in oil supply during April and May, demonstrating their capacity to manage oil disruptions.
- Current assessments suggest a shortfall of four million barrels per day, which is considered manageable through US-China cooperation.
- While there is still time to address oil flow issues, the use of strategic reserves in both countries has a limited timeframe.
- The primary concern is not the oil supply itself but rather the availability of refined products like jet fuel and diesel, which have not been effectively bypassed.
- Our interpretation: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could lead to increased oil prices, potentially triggering inflationary pressures that may prompt central banks to adjust monetary policy, impacting rates and currency markets.

- The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is significantly affecting the availability of jet fuel and other refined products, as refiners have redirected capacities away from gasoline and diesel.
- Concerns have been raised that the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is hindering the ability to fully pass on inflation from oil prices to consumers due to limited refining capacity.
- Inflation rates are anticipated to show a notable decrease, with predictions suggesting a report that could print 0.2 percentage points below consensus, which may alter market expectations.
- The Federal Reserve's recent hawkish stance could be reconsidered if upcoming inflation data comes in softer than anticipated, potentially leading to a repricing of short-term interest rates.
- Political dynamics surrounding oil supply disruptions may provide the Federal Reserve with justification to postpone rate cuts, despite persistent inflationary pressures.
- Our interpretation: Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz, present risks to oil supply that could trigger inflationary pressures in the U.S, prompting the Federal Reserve to reevaluate its monetary policy if inflation data trends downward, thereby influencing interest rates and the strength of the U.S. dollar.

- Hyperscalers are utilizing all their free cash flows to acquire semiconductors, indicating robust demand expected to persist into 2027.
- A Taiwanese semiconductor company forecasts that major players in the sector will increase prices by 30 to 40%, reflecting ongoing supply constraints.
- Communication from hyperscalers suggests a solid order book for semiconductor firms extending until 2031, contrasting with bearish market expectations.
- The current setback in momentum trades is attributed to a forecasting error from the Federal Reserve, creating uncertainty regarding potential interest rate hikes.
- There is skepticism about the semiconductor cycle having peaked, as accelerating spot prices indicate that demand remains strong.

- Monitoring South Korean export charts is crucial, as a significant decline could indicate the end of the memory trade.
- The memory trade may not be as cyclical as previously believed, necessitating a deeper analysis of underlying trends.
- Current spot prices suggest further acceleration in memory stock prices, reflecting confidence in the inflation outlook.
- Our interpretation: The trends in South Korean semiconductor exports, alongside persistent inflationary pressures, indicate that the memory trade may continue to perform well, potentially leading to upward pressure on semiconductor stocks.

- Both the US and China are reliant on maintaining a balanced oil market, which could shape their strategic decisions in the near future.

- The market is currently focused on a hawkish Fed, leading to a repricing of risk across various asset classes.
- Malia Bengali notes that AI capital expenditures are projected to approach $2 million in the coming years, reflecting a significant investment trend.
- The US economy is experiencing real GDP growth of around 3.2%, with actual earnings expansion playing a key role in market performance.
- Malia warns that the ongoing Iran war has intensified inflation concerns for investors, particularly due to fluctuations in oil prices.
- Oil prices have recently decreased by $40, which could positively influence CPI numbers and shift market expectations regarding inflation.
- Our interpretation: The geopolitical tensions from the Iran war are likely to create volatility in oil prices, potentially leading to inflationary pressures. Coupled with the Fed's hawkish stance, this may prompt a reassessment of risk across equities and commodities, influencing market sentiment and possibly resulting in a stronger dollar as investors seek safe-haven assets.

- The market is currently navigating between macroeconomic concerns, including dollar rate yields and the Japanese yen, and micro issues such as gap expenses.
- Current market dynamics are significantly influenced by large option expirations, resulting in notable price movements as traders adjust their hedges.
- WTI oil prices are currently around $73 per barrel, reflecting a steady decline influenced by geopolitical factors and supply chain adjustments.
- Before the war, WTI prices averaged approximately $66.65, but surged to over $120 due to supply disruptions, with prices now stabilizing.
- Despite the war's impact, oil continues to flow through alternative routes, and the market is adjusting to the release of oil from strategic reserves.
- Our interpretation: The interplay between macroeconomic factors, particularly inflation expectations driven by oil price fluctuations, and technical trading dynamics from option expirations suggests potential volatility in inflation metrics, which could influence central bank policies and affect equity and currency markets.

- The UAE's exit from OPEC allows for increased independent oil production, significantly altering demand dynamics in the market.
- Saudi Arabia and the UAE are realigning their geopolitical partnerships, reducing dependence on the US and fostering closer ties with nations such as Qatar, Turkey, and Iran.
- Current oil prices are perceived to be artificially elevated, with a potential real price around $45 to $50 per barrel, influenced by OPEC production cuts and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
- US oil producers have ramped up exports, capitalizing on Europe's challenges in sourcing oil from the Gulf, resulting in record profits for American companies.
- The fragmentation within OPEC may lead to a competitive environment in oil production, diminishing the pricing power of major producers and impacting market share.
- Our interpretation: The shifting dynamics in oil production and geopolitical alliances could lead to increased volatility in oil prices, which may influence inflation expectations and subsequently affect US monetary policy and dollar liquidity.

- Venice recently completed a funding round, achieving a billion-dollar valuation and generating 20 to 30 million in new investments, which is a positive sign for its long-term viability.

- Circle's price is influenced by the broader crypto market, indicating that despite its viable business model, its performance is tied to market sentiment and trends.
- The speaker expresses uncertainty about Circle as an investment, noting that its price movements are erratic and often reflect the overall crypto market rather than its financial fundamentals.
- The speaker emphasizes that while Circle has a solid product market fit, its price is currently trapped in a meme coin narrative, complicating its investment appeal.
- Our interpretation: The persistent resistance levels for XRP and the downtrend in Circle's stablecoin highlight the challenges in the current crypto market, suggesting that investors may need to reassess their positions in these assets.

- A significant trend reversal has occurred in the Canton cryptocurrency, which had been trending upwards but recently broke down before reaching its previous high, indicating potential volatility.
- The recent downturn in Canton was unexpected, as it had been showing a cup and handle pattern, suggesting a need for further investigation into the underlying causes.

- There is a notable disconnect between the hawkish rhetoric of central banks and the declining market pricing of inflation.
- Rising real interest rates, which typically support a stronger dollar, are currently observed.
- The Federal Reserve's recent projections reflect a more hawkish stance due to previous underestimations of inflation.

- He clarifies that the decline in the token expenditure index does not signal a red flag for the AI trade, as it reflects a shift towards Chinese open-source models rather than an overall decrease in volume.
- Andreas notes that memory pricing has accelerated since the last quarter, despite previous market volatility.
- He points out that demand for memory is being front-loaded due to concerns over potential shortages linked to geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war.
- The speaker observes significant volatility in popular retail trades in memory, indicating active trading behavior among investors.

- The speaker highlights the delicate balance between preventing memory chip shortages and the potential impact on consumer products, noting recent price increases for iPhones and iPads.
- The current situation regarding technology trades was forecasted during the Iran War, attributed to a front-loading of demand for memory chips.
- The second half of the year is expected to be significantly influenced by demand for AI semiconductors, impacting sectors such as consumer electronics and automotive.

- Ram Ahluwalia observes that despite ongoing geopolitical risks and negative sentiment, earnings growth is anticipated to surpass 20% year-over-year, indicating a potential continuation of the bull market.
- Seth Ginns points out the swift recovery of altcoins, with some assets gaining between 15% to 80% over short timeframes, reflecting bullish market conditions.
- Jeff Dorman asserts that the current market rally is largely fueled by robust earnings growth, which he describes as a significant earnings boom, with both revenues and margins on the rise.
- Dorman notes that only a limited number of crypto tokens possess equity-like traits, such as strong revenues and cash flows, which are crucial for their price increases.
- The discussion indicates that recent geopolitical events, particularly the conflict in the Middle East, have not had lasting effects on market performance, with earnings growth remaining the primary driver.
- Our interpretation: The prevailing market dynamics suggest that strong earnings momentum, especially in the context of AI-driven productivity, may sustain bullish sentiment in equities and select crypto assets, while geopolitical tensions seem to exert minimal long-term influence on market fundamentals.

- Retail investors are increasingly influencing IPOs, with platforms like Robinhood and E-Trade evolving to enable retail participation in underwriting processes.

- While Elon Musk is recognized as a remarkable entrepreneur, the distinction between entrepreneurial success and sound investment is critical for SpaceX.

- The European Central Bank has maintained its position on interest rate hikes despite a decline in energy prices, indicating a commitment to its monetary policy.
- The Federal Reserve has revised its inflation projections downward but does not foresee a significant drop in inflation, even with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The speaker expresses a strong belief in betting against the inflation forecasts of both the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, particularly noting that the ECB's mild inflation scenario anticipates an oil price of $88 per barrel, which exceeds current market levels.
- A positive liquidity channel is expected, with a substantial increase in liquidity projected over the next four to five weeks, which may bolster asset prices.
- The current sideways growth environment could prompt a shift towards more cyclical sectors, such as industrials, as liquidity conditions improve.
- Exports from South Korea in the memory sector have surged by 60-65% year over year, reflecting robust demand and increasing spot prices for DRAM, which may benefit companies like Micron.

FULL
00:00–05:00
- Mike Alfred emphasizes that many investors are neglecting the critical fundamentals of scarce land, power, and infrastructure, which are essential for AI development.
- He notes that the past few years have posed significant challenges for investors, marked by events such as the banking crisis and looming recessions that have altered market dynamics.
- Alfred highlights that AI has emerged as the only consistently profitable trade over the last three years, particularly benefiting companies like Nvidia, which have substantial exposure to AI technologies.
- He explains the transition of Bitcoin miners into infrastructure developers, stressing the necessity for high-quality, scalable infrastructure that can operate efficiently with low energy costs.
- Alfred contrasts the common belief that data center development would predominantly occur in Northern Virginia with his view that regions with abundant renewable energy, such as West Texas, are more advantageous for such developments.
- Our interpretation: The focus on scarce resources like land and power in AI infrastructure suggests a potential shift in investment strategies, where the scarcity of these assets may drive future market dynamics, particularly in the context of rising energy costs and the evolving landscape of digital assets.

- The signing ceremony for the US-Iran deal is scheduled for later this week in Switzerland, marking a significant geopolitical development.
- The memorandum of understanding allows Iran to sell its oil globally without sanctions for the next 60 days.
- The US administration has reportedly managed to export approximately three million barrels a day from the Persian Gulf, potentially affecting global oil supply dynamics.
- Concerns regarding the uranium question in the deal have been raised by some members of the US administration.
- Current assessments indicate that the oil market is experiencing a supply surplus, suggesting a favorable shift in the balance between supply and demand.
- Our interpretation: The potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil could lead to increased global oil supply, which may suppress oil prices and impact inflation expectations, thereby influencing energy equities and commodities markets.
INSTRUMENTS

FULL
10:00–15:00
- Over 125 million barrels have reportedly left the Strait of Hormuz since the launch of Operation Freedom, with a daily flow estimated at three million barrels.
- Both Iranian and US administrations had incentives to obscure oil flows, as Iran managed to export oil along its coastline while the US blockade could not interfere in territorial waters.
- Current estimates suggest the oil market is in a mild surplus, ranging between one and two million barrels a day, despite contrary reports.
- If sanctions on Iranian oil are lifted for the next 60 days, it could add significantly to global supply, potentially reaching close to four million barrels a day.
- The departure of the United Arab Emirates from the OPEC Plus group indicates a lack of consensus among Arab producers on supply management, which may lead to increased supply and downward pressure on oil prices.
- Our interpretation: The potential lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, combined with the current supply surplus, suggests a risk of declining oil prices below $70, which could impact inflation expectations and energy equities as market participants adjust to the new supply dynamics.

- The speaker criticizes the European Central Bank for raising interest rates just before a resolution in the Strait of Hormuz, indicating poor timing.
- The European Central Bank forecasts a growth rate of 0.8% for the Eurozone in 2026, despite experiencing negative growth in the first quarter.
- To align with its growth projections, the European Central Bank would require three quarters of approximately 0.5% growth, which the speaker views as overly optimistic.
- The speaker suggests that central banks, including the European Central Bank, may need to reconsider their inflation concerns due to recent oil price developments.
- The resolution in the Strait of Hormuz has resulted in a notable decline in oil prices, potentially affecting inflation expectations and central bank strategies.
- Our interpretation: The recent resolution in the Strait of Hormuz, combined with the European Central Bank's questionable timing on interest rate hikes, indicates a potential shift in inflation dynamics. As oil prices decrease, central banks may be pressured to reassess their inflation outlook, which could lead to adjustments in interest rate strategies and impact equities and commodities markets.

- Concerns arise regarding a potential shift in market activity towards cheaper models ahead of the IPOs of certain tech companies, as major firms like Microsoft have curtailed their cloud spending.
- There is a notable year-on-year growth of nearly 90% in South Korean exports for the first 10 days of the month, although this figure may be less dramatic when adjusted for workday variations.
- Despite the record nominal IPO achieved recently, there remains potential for a market rally, supported by a favorable liquidity outlook expected to persist until August.
- The oil market is currently experiencing a surplus, a development that was not widely anticipated a few months ago, with future trends contingent on whether China resumes its purchasing activities.
- Our interpretation: The dynamics in the IPO market and the oil surplus suggest a potential reallocation of capital, with tech investments facing scrutiny while commodity markets hinge on China's demand recovery.

Why This El Niño Could Be Different with Shawn Hackett & Ash Bennington
A super El Niño is characterized by sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific exceeding normal levels by two degrees Celsius or more.
FULL
00:00–05:00
- A super El Niño is characterized by sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific exceeding normal levels by two degrees Celsius or more.
- Since 1850, only seven super El Niños have occurred, highlighting their rarity and potential impact.
- The current super El Niño may mirror the severe agricultural disruptions experienced during 1877-1878.
- Not all super El Niños result in increased weather volatility, but this one is believed to carry heightened risks for global food supplies.
- If current models and media forecasts hold true, significant repercussions for food prices, inflation, and geopolitical stability could arise.
- Our interpretation: The potential for substantial agricultural disruption from this super El Niño may lead to increased volatility in food-related markets, prompting investors to reassess risk exposure in commodities and inflation-sensitive assets.
INSTRUMENTS
WHEAT
The discussion centers on agricultural disruptions due to the super El Niño.
CORN
Corn is also a key agricultural commodity likely to be impacted by the same weather disruptions.
SOYBEANS
Soybeans are another critical crop that could be affected by the super El Niño's impact on agriculture.
FULL
05:00–10:00
- The 1877-1878 El Niño caused widespread drought across Asia, impacting countries such as India, China, and Australia simultaneously.
- This drought was notable for its extensive geographical reach, affecting the entire Asian continent rather than isolated regions, which amplified its effects.
- During this period, significant famines occurred due to insufficient food supply, with rice and wheat prices surging by 600%.
- While modern technology may alleviate some famine effects, the risk of substantial food supply disruptions remains a concern.
- The highest sea surface temperature anomaly recorded during the 1877-1878 El Niño was 2.7 degrees above normal, contributing to its severe impact.
- Our interpretation: A similar El Niño event today could lead to significant agricultural disruptions, impacting food prices and inflation, which may in turn affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.
INSTRUMENTS
WHEAT
The discussion highlights potential agricultural disruptions due to El Niño, which can significantly affect wheat supply.
CORN
Corn is also a staple crop that could be affected by agricultural disruptions from El Niño.
SOYBEANS
Soybeans are another key agricultural product that may face supply challenges due to the discussed El Niño effects.
GOLD
Increased food prices and inflation concerns can drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
FULL
10:00–15:00
- The duration of the sea surface temperature anomaly will significantly influence the severity of the situation, with a longer duration potentially leading to more severe impacts.
- Sea surface temperatures may reach levels comparable to those seen in 1877, with peak anomalies expected to be in the upper twos.
- The current negative state of the Indian Ocean dipole could allow for a broader impact across Asia, similar to the conditions in 1877.
- High concentrations of Arabian Peninsula sand in the atmosphere could suppress moisture and further impact the monsoon season in India and China.
- While historical famines resulted in millions of deaths, modern infrastructure may mitigate the severity of food shortages, though high prices are still expected.
- Our interpretation: A similar El Niño event today could lead to significant agricultural disruptions, impacting food prices and inflation, which may in turn affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.
INSTRUMENTS

FULL
15:00–20:00
- A strong El Niño combined with a neutral Indian Ocean dipole can lead to a very active Western Pacific typhoon season, which tends to draw moisture from Asia and transport it to the Arctic.
- If the Western typhoon season is very active, it could exacerbate moisture loss in Asia, potentially impacting agricultural outputs.
- Our interpretation: The interplay of these climatic factors could lead to substantial agricultural disruptions, influencing food prices and inflation, which may affect geopolitical stability and economic conditions across Asia and beyond.
