Let's take a look at what's happening in the market today.

Bitcoin here, I just want to say—hold on. The main goal right now is to complete this dead cat bounce and avoid any surprises. Ethereum rarely hits the 3300 level today, although it pulled back afterward, but honestly, it's not really its fault; it's mainly due to Bitcoin.

Spot silver has risen over 5% intraday today, and it's about to reach a historical high. This is the appeal of precious metals—stability combined with appreciation potential.

There are also quite a few macroeconomic developments. Federal Reserve Board member Mester signaled that the Fed should cut interest rates by more than 100 basis points this year, and the message is quite clear. On the other side, Trump announced that Venezuela will supply the US with 30 to 50 million barrels of oil, with some netizens joking that this is the so-called "zero-cost purchase," which is quite interesting😂.

In the crypto market, a certain exchange recently released a view that the traditional "four-year cycle" might be invalidated. They are somewhat optimistic about the 2026 crypto outlook. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI just completed a $20 billion Series E funding round, with Nvidia also participating, indicating that the integration of AI and crypto is accelerating.

Bitcoin really needs to stabilize, or else it will get trapped again --- Silver is really on fire this time, it feels like everyone who should buy has already bought --- The four-year cycle invalid? That sounds a bit suspicious, let's just watch quietly --- Elon Musk raised 20 billion, AI and crypto are really mixing together, it's a bit intense --- Milano cut interest rates by 100 basis points? Now the dollar will depreciate, precious metals are probably going to go crazy again --- Bitcoin is stagnant, the secondary market is following suit and suffering, it's really uncomfortable --- xAI raised funds with NVIDIA participating... feels like the next hot spot is right here --- Dead cat bounce is said to be very certain, but what if it truly reverses? --- A 5% increase in silver is nothing special, but hitting a historical high would be ridiculous --- Venezuela's "0 yuan purchase" of oil is hilarious, this is classic American humor

Will Bitcoin's rebound this time really hold up? ETH can't even be pushed up, indicating a lack of momentum. Is the four-year cycle invalid? I think it's the exchanges trying to trick retail investors into buying more, don't be fooled. Silver has surged so strongly, is it really taking off or just an illusion? It feels like this round of precious metals is a bit outrageous. xAI raising funds with NVIDIA co-investing, now AI chains are really about to shake things up. Gotta keep an eye on it. Trump's 0-cost oil purchase is really a loss, haha. I didn't see this move coming.

If Bitcoin really drops this time, I'll laugh. Silver is almost breaking its high, and it's still hesitating. Forget it. With such a strong rate cut news, let's see how the Federal Reserve really handles it. xAI funding is indeed something, and Elon Musk is starting to stir things up again.

Bitcoin is really a troublemaker, dragging down the whole market, with Ethereum caught in the crossfire.

The dead cat is bouncing again; it's really a lesson learned too late.

Bitcoin really needs to hold steady this time. If it crashes, Ethereum will have to go down with it.

Silver has already reached its all-time high, while Bitcoin is still in that dead cat bounce. The gap is incredible.

empirically speaking, this "four-year cycle" thesis lacks rigor. where's the quantitative backing here...

Is the four-year cycle about to become invalid? I’ve said this a long time ago; on-chain data has been shouting bankruptcy for a while. Does anyone still believe in this stuff? Haha

Bitcoin is unstable, and Ethereum is following along. This routine is getting old. --- Silver has some potential this time; precious metals are truly the safe haven choice. --- Interest rate cuts over 100bp? The Fed is flooding liquidity, which is good news for the environmental sector. --- The four-year cycle is invalid? Then we need to rethink the game rules. --- xAI raised 20 billion, Nvidia even joined in. How long can the AI+crypto story go on? --- Trump's $0 purchase joke is hilarious. Politics is so surreal. --- Another dead cat bounce. When will there be a real reversal? --- At the 3300 level, Ethereum just can't break through. It still depends on Bitcoin's mood. --- Now everything is leaning towards AI, but true value still depends on fundamentals. --- If silver dares to rise to historic highs, gold will have to move too.
