Federal Reserve Study: Dilemma Weakening Under Oil Price Shock, Can Prioritize Inflation Control
June 5: New research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston finds the U.S. economy has grown significantly less sensitive to oil price increases, thanks to improved energy efficiency and a surge in domestic crude oil production. Unlike the oil crises of the 1970s, today’s oil price spikes no longer deliver a massive blow to the job market. Additional jobs created by the expansion of the oil and gas sector can partially offset pressures on other industries, leading to a marked decline in the likelihood that high oil prices will trigger "stagflation"—a scenario of high inflation paired with high unemployment.
However, the report also cautioned that the labor market’s ability to buffer against oil price shocks has weakened, meaning inflationary pressure from rising energy costs may prove more persistent. The Fed does not need to overworry about energy price hikes sparking an economic downturn; instead, it should focus more on containing inflation. Market consensus currently expects the

Analyst: Bitcoin's key support level below is $54,000, breaking below which would lead to a "full capitulation" stage.
June 5th, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr pointed out that Bitcoin has recently dropped back to around $62,000, with the market’s total loss scale continuing to expand. On-chain data indicates that the 7-day net unrealized loss has risen to approximately $7 billion—surpassing the level recorded during this year’s February market low. However, compared to the peak loss of roughly $14 billion during the last bear market and winter panic phase, current market sentiment hasn’t yet reached the state of "full surrender."
From a cost structure perspective, Bitcoin’s current price is significantly lower than the average cost basis of short-term holders, which is around $76,000—meaning most short-term investors are now holding floating losses. If the market weakens further, key support zones below are mainly concentrated at two levels: the network-wide average realized price of about $54,000 and the cost basis of long-term holders of around $49,000. These two price ranges typically correspon

Jiang Zhuoer: Bought Back All ETH Holdings at "Market Bottom," Plans to Start Selling in 1-3 Days After Rebound
On June 5, Jiang Zhuo'er, founder of Lebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), announced he has bought back all Ethereum positions he’d previously sold at an average price of $1,645. The repurchase followed liquidations of his Ethereum holdings in the $2,200–$2,400 range.
Despite completing the buyback, Zhuo'er views the overall market as still in a downtrend. Bitcoin, however, has found support near $61,000 on two separate occasions and hasn’t dropped significantly below that level—a sign of short-term demand for a technical rebound. Based on this assessment, he expects Bitcoin to rally in the next 1 to 3 days and plans to sell the recently repurchased Ethereum positions during that rebound.
