On June 9, CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV noted Bitcoin demand has entered one of its most extreme contraction phases since 2019. The 30-day combined demand for spot and perpetual contracts has dropped to roughly -650,000 BTC—a historically rare level, having only occurred three times before. This market demand pullback is far steeper than a typical correction phase. Currently, not only is spot demand decreasing, but perpetual contract demand is also shrinking simultaneously. That signals both leveraged speculative activity and genuine buying interest are backing off, with marginal buying pressure dropping sharply. The current market setup aligns more with the early stages of an "ultimate washout phase" than a clear reversal, suggesting a period of low momentum and low-volume consolidation is likely after volatility picks up.

June 9th — Goldman Sachs published a report projecting that sustained market tightness will push Micron’s performance materially above both market consensus expectations and the company’s own guidance. The firm had previously lifted its broader semiconductor industry outlook, and now anticipates this tightness to persist through fiscal 2027, lifting industry-wide pricing and profit margins. Amid sharp recent stock gains and market optimism around long-term customer contracts, investors remain highly bullish on Micron’s shares. For Micron’s third quarter (ended late May), Goldman Sachs sees revenue coming in roughly 9% above market consensus, with pricing tailwinds driving strong sequential growth for the quarter ending in late August. The firm forecasts the prior quarter’s revenue at $37.6 billion, gross margin at 83.4%, and EPS at $22.07 — versus consensus estimates of $34.4 billion, 81.9%, and $19.74 respectively. For fiscal 2026, Goldman Sachs’ revenue and EPS projections for Micro
