On June 11th, analyst firm Alicharts reports that Bitcoin’s on-chain metric—Investor Price—currently sits at $48,300. This figure reflects the market-wide average acquisition cost after excluding permanently lost coins, and it is widely regarded as a critical support level for long-term accumulation. Additionally, Ethereum’s Delta Price metric has successfully captured the cryptocurrency’s two prior market bottoms, and it is now approaching the $700 level. Delta Price is a proprietary on-chain metric from the Alphractal platform, primarily used to identify a cryptocurrency’s structural cost baseline and deep accumulation zones.

June 11 — As the Bank of Japan (BOJ) gears up for its June 15-16 policy meeting, sudden news has scrambled market expectations around central bank communications. On June 10, the BOJ revealed that 74-year-old Governor Haruhiko Kuroda was admitted to the hospital for an emergency liver cyst infection. He’s expected to miss next week’s meeting but will share his views via a written statement. This would mark the first time a BOJ governor has skipped a regular policy meeting since the central bank adopted its current policy decision-making structure back in 1998. Notably, the current market consensus is pointing to a 25-basis-point rate hike, with Polymarket putting the odds of the move at 98%. If the hike goes through as anticipated, any clues about how quickly the central bank will raise rates next will be a major factor driving foreign exchange (forex) markets in the aftermath of the post-announcement press conference. Per analysts speaking to Reuters and other news outlets, a length

June 11 — Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with TF International Securities, published a new report outlining updates on TSMC’s next-generation advanced packaging technology, CoWoS. The report states CoWoS is on track to enter mass production in the second half of 2028, engineered for ultra-large-scale packaging exceeding 9.5 times the standard reticle size. Notably, NVIDIA’s Feiman AI chip is expected to be the first device to adopt this technology. Kuo also cleared up several common industry misunderstandings about CoWoS’s design. The technology uses a glass core substrate structure, with glass carriers and specialized panels sandwiched between ABF build layers. Crucially, the glass serves neither as a glass interposer nor a replacement for ABF; instead, the chip is bonded directly to the ABF surface. Public industry data shows CoWoS offers a larger panel platform and greater usable space, making it highly suited for integrating Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) components such as light engines and
