June 18: Kraken’s Chief Economist Thomas Perfumo noted Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading near a historically significant key level that’s critical for bullish market sentiment. This threshold is widely viewed as an almost ideal buying opportunity with potential for substantial returns. This key level refers to the 200-week simple moving average (SMA)—Bitcoin’s average price over the past 200 weeks. The indicator helps traders better grasp long-term trends while filtering out "noise" from short-term price swings. Perfumo stated: “Historically, investors who bought Bitcoin at this level have seen a median return of over 113% in the 12 months following their purchase, and more than 313% within two years.”

June 18 — Per Hyperinsight Monitoring, Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 ecosystem launched MINIMAX contract trading today. As of press time, MINIMAX holds approximately $480,000 in open positions, with its current price at $60.7. One trader has opened a 10x leveraged short position on MINIMAX: the position size is $178,000, with an average entry price of $60.6. On the fundamental side, MiniMax’s stock has faced sustained pressure recently. The company listed on January 9, and its prospectus notes that some early shareholders have a 6-month lock-up period. Markets are anticipating share unlocks around July 9, with concerns that an increase in circulating supply could weigh on the price. This, combined with a roughly 53% price drop in the first two weeks of June, plus M3’s commercialization pricing and a downgrade from MTS, has further suppressed MiniMax’s stock performance.

On June 18, Dan Taylor of the Angelman Group noted that SpaceX’s valuation doesn’t necessarily reflect the broader AI sector’s overall health. The company’s stock performance seems less tied to a true AI-driven story and more like a bet on CEO Elon Musk’s personal reputation. Taylor added that SpaceX is unlikely to reach Musk’s proposed $1 trillion revenue target by 2030. Even so, investors still have substantial trust in Musk due to his proven entrepreneurial track record, and this “trust premium” is a key pillar supporting SpaceX’s valuation. The pace of future AI-focused IPOs will depend on how sustainable the current AI spending boom remains. Taylor also highlighted a sharp divergence in tech stocks: the semiconductor sector is rallying strongly, while Software as a Service (SaaS) firms are declining. This trend of divergence is expected to persist until concrete business returns from AI investments become more evident.
