Prominent crypto analyst Rekt Capital notes that Bitcoin has successfully retested its macro downtrend line as support, with this line aligning closely with the highs from April-May 2026. Current price levels indicate the retest is initially valid. Rekt Capital also states that to avoid a shift into a downtrend, BTC must prevent its monthly closing price from falling below the downtrend line (approximately $761.87 million), as this could form an upper wick and weaken its breakout potential.

According to market data from BIT (bit.com), Tesla’s intraday price dropped as much as 6.3%.

The electric vehicle maker has staked its future on a shift toward physical AI, including autonomous driving and robotics.

UK’s largest retail investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown, which manages over $200 billion in assets, announced it is making nine Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded note (ETN) products available to its 2 million clients. The products are offered by issuers including BlackRock iShares, CoinShares, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Invesco and Bitwise, with annual fees ranging from 0% to 0.35%. The move comes less than a year after the platform previously warned clients against cryptocurrency investments, and follows a policy adjustment in response to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifting its retail ban on crypto ETPs in October 2025. New buyers on the platform must complete an appropriateness assessment and wait 24 hours before trading. (CoinDesk)

Serenity released a report stating that despite a temporary market pullback, AI demand remains robust. Nvidia’s revenue growth was capped at 70% by supply chain constraints; without those limitations, it would have exceeded 100%. Serenity cited multiple indicators: Broadcom’s AI revenue is projected to surge from roughly $50 billion to $230 billion within two years, OpenAI’s Astra has surpassed AGI benchmarks and achieved self-training, compute resource imbalances reported by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and Nvidia’s forecast of $1.3 trillion in spending by 2027. It also highlighted supply chain signals: 70% of Samsung’s production capacity is locked in long-term agreements through 2031, Powertech’s advanced packaging capacity is fully booked through 2030, and Winbond has begun allocating orders for 2029-2030, implying that AI stock fundamentals will drive sustained gains.
