📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 SpaceX Hits $1.75T IPO → Corporates Buy 6.2x Dip → BTC Reclaims $63.4k • BTC: Holds firm at $63,400, neutralizing the sub-$60k weekly liquidation flush 📈 • SpaceX IPO: History made today at $135/share ($1.75T valuation). Holds a top-10 corporate treasury stack of 18,712 BTC (~$1.3B) 🚀 • Desk Flows: Corporate buyers run an aggressive 6.20x buy ratio to absorb hedge fund selling (.85x). BTC (2.00x) and HYPE (1.44x) heavily bid. • Alts: HYPE rebounds sharply to ~$60 from a $52 low; SOL (1.38x) draws clean buy-side volume. • Derivs: Front-end vol crashes below 40v; term structure returns to upward contango as skew drops to a mild 5v put bias. 💵 Macro: FOMC Next Week / Flows: Muted on World Cup Start→ Whales executing massive block call purchases for June 26 at $67k/$68k strikes. What happened: • Strategic corporate allocators systematically out-bought fast-money macro shorters at the range floor. • SpaceX's public debut fundamentally re-anchors the institutional validity of digital asset balance sheets. • Options markets erased deep defensive put premiums as systemic downside panic fully exhausted. Now key: The Warsh Fed Debut (June 16-17). First FOMC under Chair Kevin Warsh will decide if the market's long-term tightening anxieties are fully justified. Bigger picture: • Short term: Orderly range-bound digestion as the capital from the SpaceX listing settles. • Long term: Mega-cap tech balance sheets have erected a structural floor beneath the majors. The short sellers got squeezed, and a tech titan just backed the floor with $1.3B in BTC. Accumulating spot alongside corporate treasuries and positioning for topside summer convexity. $63.4k is a hardened base. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 CPI Illusion Fades → SpaceX Drain Intense → BTC Tests $60.7k Lows • BTC: Tests critical $60,700 floor; dragged lower by a broader cross-asset AI infrastructure sell-off 📉 • Macro: Softer CPI print gives brief relief, but immediate geopolitical spikes erase the pump. • Fed: Fixed-income desks remain unphased by cooler inflation, still pricing a rate hike by December. 🏛️ • Liquidity: Systemic capital is being aggressively sucked out of risk assets to fund the pre-SpaceX IPO queue. • Alts: Massive dispersion. Chiliz ($CHZ) actively bought as the 2026 World Cup kicks off today ⚽; heavy selling in ONDO, ZEC, and ENA. 💵 Front-End Vol: <50v / Skew: -8 (Collapsing)→ Implied volatility came off noticeably; pre-CPI put protections are being unwound or rolled out to September. What happened: • Macro markets delivered good news on inflation, but geopolitics and equity IPO cash drains completely overrode it. • The AI trade reality check is filtering directly into crypto beta, weakening tech-proxy tokens across the board. • Foundation covered call selling continues to cap any minor intraday spot strength. Now key: The $60,700 Floor. If this local technical base gives way under the weight of thin liquidity, the market enters a much deeper correction regime. Bigger picture: • Short term: Low-beta, headline-sensitive summer chop as traditional tech IPOs dominate the capital queue. • Long term: Volatility is turning cheap, presenting classic consolidation windows for patient buyers. Softer inflation can't win when the geopolitical background is hot and SpaceX is taking all the cash. Keeping short-term leverage flat, harvesting compressed front-end vol, and loading up on cash. Defend the baseline. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 Kinetic Strikes Flare → 4.2% CPI Threat → Tech Under the Microscope • Macro: Cross-asset selloff intensifies as markets confront a crowded worry board of military escalation, yield friction, and AI growth fatigue 📉 • Geopolitics: Direct US-Iran counterstrikes and a gridlocked ceasefire keep the strategic Strait of Hormuz energy risk premium locked into the tape. • Fed: Last week's hot NFP still weighs heavily; fixed-income desks are actively pricing a higher probability of 2026 interest rate hikes. • CPI: Today's May inflation print expected at a hot 4.2% YoY, the highest baseline since early 2023. 🏛️ • Equities: Oracle earnings under a microscope tonight; any AI infrastructure guidance weakness threatens a deeper Nasdaq correction. 💵 Sentiment: Defensive / Bias: Leverage Flat• Crypto remains entirely hostage to the broader macro risk mood. What happened: • Markets are re-pricing both direct military escalation and systemic energy disruption risks at the same time. • Capital is systematically rotating out of high-beta risk profiles ahead of a critical multi-event data gauntlet. • Broadcom's recent warning proved that investors have zero patience for "good but not good enough" tech guidance. Now key: The Next 24 Hours. Today’s CPI release Oracle's cloud infrastructure numbers decide whether the summer liquidity floor holds or buckles. Bigger picture: • Short term: Vulnerable, headline-sensitive tape reacting to complex cross-asset flows. • Long term: Allocators are preparing for the new Kevin Warsh Fed regime. When geopolitics, rates, and AI equity line up, crypto rarely sits the move out. Keeping short-term leverage flat, cutting passive index beta, and protecting cash. The exits are clearly marked. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 Saylor Buys 1,550 BTC → $64k Reclaimed → $75B SpaceX Capital Wave • BTC: Reclaims $64,000 overnight as the bears' immediate corporate insolvency narrative is put to bed 🛌 • MSTR: Resumes the flywheel, buying 1,550 BTC ($101M) and boosting USD cash reserves to $1B. Shareholders approve a shift to semi-monthly preferred dividend payouts. • Geopolitics: Iran and Israel halt reciprocal military operations after intense friction; Trump issues stark warnings to step down. • Institutional: Coinbase notes sovereign wealth funds and family offices are actively vacuuming the drawdown at a deep structural discount. • Liquidity: Friday's SpaceX IPO is 2x oversubscribed—returning $75B in unallocated refund checks to the market. 💵 Macro: Tomorrow's CPI / Pipeline: OpenAI & Anthropic file S-1s→ Short-term liquidity is heavily primed, though the year-end AI IPO queue sets up a massive capital drain. What happened: • The 32 BTC sale last week was a calculated corporate head-fake to desensitize the market and buy back lower. • A unified crypto coalition backed by Stand with Crypto sent a joint letter to the Senate supporting the Clarity Act. • Over-leveraged shorts are facing immediate margin pressure as structural spot demand returns. Now key: Tomorrow's CPI Print. Near-term volatility will be entirely dictated by the inflation data before the SpaceX refund liquidity hits the tape. Bigger picture: • Short term: Looking past local turbulence to capture a potential squeeze back toward $70k. • Long term: Bipartisan banking rollbacks and physical sovereign asset accumulation are scaling. The absolute HODL shield wasn't broken, it was tactically optimised. Adding back to core spot, positioning for the SpaceX capital return, and holding cash for CPI. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

What happened: • Crypto absorbed a brutal macro tape, catching over-leveraged shorts off guard at the range lows. • Front-end option premiums exploded, driven by defensive hedging ahead of the MSTR conference. • The altcoin landscape remains intensely fragmented, rewarding pure idiosyncratic alpha over broad beta. Now key: Wednesday's CPI Print. With the Kevin Warsh Fed debut looming next week, this inflation data will dictate the macro liquidity trend. Bigger picture: • Short term: Choppy, backwardated volatility creating premium harvesting opportunities. • Long term: Institutional accumulators are quietly buying the fear. The Nasdaq bleeds, but the crypto floor holds. Harvesting front-end volatility and maintaining flat leverage ahead of CPI. $63k is the new pivot. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

What happened: • Broader diplomatic off-ramps stalled out, forcing a flight to safety ahead of the weekend. • The absolute "never sell" MSTR dogma remains under pressure as Saylor maintains radio silence. • Core network integration moves forward with a pioneering $250M Fannie Mae mortgage waitlist. Now key: The $60k Line. Tonight's jobs report and the threat of weekend kinetic escalation serve as dual catalysts for a potential test of the February lows. Bigger picture: • Short term: Vulnerable ranges but heavily coiled for a squeeze due to crowded short positioning. • Long term: Revaluing bank risk weightings represents the ultimate institutional unlock. The leverage is gone, the market is short, and the doors are heavily insured. Sidelined on fresh risk, harvesting elevated premiums, and watching the $60k floor. Stay protected into the weekend. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 BTC Hits 2-Month Low at $64k → MSTR Leverage Questioned → Skew Explodes to 15v • BTC: Drops 2.2% to test critical $64,000; macro momentum targets key $63,000 support floor 📉 • ETH: Drifts lower by 2% to slide near $1,800. • Corporate: Market panic shifts from the 32 BTC sale to MSTR's highly leveraged capital structure and preferred stock obligations. • Alts: HYPE completely decouples from crypto beta, showing massive relative strength; SOL $70 puts bought as tactical hedges. • Derivs: Downside panic matches macro shifts; front-end skew explodes from 5-6v to a deeply negative 15 volatility points. 💵 BTC IV: High-50s / ETH IV: ~60 (Elevated)→ Whales are buying massive put spreads funded by aggressive call selling, leaving the market highly vulnerable to a sharp short squeeze if sentiment flips. What happened: • A severe risk-off wave has driven major indices to their weakest levels in over two months. • Investors are fearing that MicroStrategy's equity structure could actively amplify Bitcoin's downside during market stress. • The option market is demanding a historic premium for downside protection over upside participation. Now key: The $63,000 Floor. If this structural macro level buckles under the weight of ongoing liquidations, the market enters a much deeper correction regime. Bigger picture: • Short term: Orderly but intense de-risking as the market reprices structural leverage. • Long term: The extreme options skew is creating massively discounted long-dated upside opportunities for patient capital. Leverage loops are being stress-tested, and downside protection is at a extreme premium. Flattening near-term risk, protecting baseline capital, and watching the $63k floor. The tape is heavy. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

📡 Rising Market Pulse 🧭 Floor Cracks → Vol Spikes to 41.4 → Macro Headwinds Intense • BTC: Slides 11.6% on the week; struggling heavily to reclaim overhead momentum 📉 • Corporate: Strategy's symbolic 32 BTC dividend liquidation shatters the rigid "never sell" narrative. • Macro: Stronger US job openings crush near-term rate cut hopes; Oil climbs on stalled Iran diplomacy 🛢️ • Derivs: 30D ATM implied vol surges to 41.4 ( 4v on day); options surface shifts heavily to put-demand. • Equities: Resilient on tech/AI hyperscaler strength, but concentration risk is pulling capital out of crypto beta. 💵 Real Yields: Rising / Skew: Deeply Negative→ Vol surface is screaming "insure the dip before discussing it." What happened: • Crypto-specific deleveraging has collided head-on with an unsupportive, higher-for-longer macro tape. • Options whales are aggressively pricing in downside convexity, forcing a front-end term structure inversion. • Spot prices are drifting as the market transitions to a lower-liquidity summer regime. Now key: The 67k–68k Region. Unless BTC can cleanly reclaim and anchor inside this technical corridor, any local bounce remains highly vulnerable to structural distribution. Bigger picture: • Short term: Low-beta range protection as macro indicators move in the wrong direction. • Long term: Capital is waiting to see if inflation parameters normalize before re-allocating. The market isn't running for the exits, it's just making sure they are clearly marked. Flattening directional leverage, holding deep cash, and insuring existing risk.

Now key: The $68,700 Support. If the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level snaps on a daily close, the local market configuration flips firmly to a broader correction regime. Bigger picture: • Short term: Nervous range contraction as the market digests MicroStrategy's structural transition. • Long term: Re-anchoring corporate treasury expectations while playing the long-tenor options curve. The narrative shield has a scratch, and the shipping lines are sweating.

Now key: The MSTR Print. If Saylor's warning translates into an official corporate treasury buy today, the local range is shattered. Bigger picture: • Short term: Choppy range-bound positioning ahead of Friday's heavy employment data. • Long term: Corporate and foundational accumulation curves are steadily rising. Corporate teases can't hide the underlying institutional accumulation. Shedding passive index risk and concentrating capital into high-velocity alpha layers. $74k is the immediate pivot. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

Now key: ETF Exhaustion. The underlying institutional buy bid is massive. The moment the daily ETF redemption headline stops, the squeeze begins. Bigger picture: • Short term: Quiet, range-bound summer grind as the Senate calendar thins. • Long term: Real allocators are accumulating the discount. Compute is now a financial asset. The ETF tape is lying. Under the hood, institutions are loading up.

Bigger picture: • Short term: Nerve-wracking range erosion driven by macro liquidity starvation. • Long term: Bypassing June noise to build structural inventory for the autumn horizon. Social media promises can't fight kinetic missiles and a hawkish Fed.

Geopolitics is capping the ceiling, but regulation is building a floor. Treating geopolitical panic drops as tactical entry points for July.

📡Rising Market Pulse 🧭 Strike Reversal Fails → 4.6% Yield Shock → $648M ETF Bleed • BTC: Flat at $76,950; Trump’s Iran de-escalation fails to ignite a relief rally 📉 • Yields: US 10Y breaks 4.6% to one-year high; UK long-bonds tap 28-year peaks 📈 • Fed: Futures completely flip; now pricing a rate hike over the next 12 months (51% odds for Dec) 🏛️ • ETFs: Institutional exit intensifies; -$648.6M flushed out yesterday alone • Desk: Prop shops (.81) & Hedge Funds (.65) heavy sellers. HYPE obliterated (.28). SOL bucking the trend (1.36). 💵 Brent: >$112 / Skew: Put-Dominant→ Desk flows show heavy morning demand for near-dated downside protection. What happened: • Politics attempted to deliver a peace bid, but the bond market completely ignored it. • Global energy pass-through has institutional allocators panicking over sticky inflation. • BTC is taking massive structural damage from an accelerated ETF capitulation run. Now key: The Wednesday Gauntlet. April FOMC Minutes (2 PM ET) NVIDIA ($79B revenue target) after the bell tomorrow. If tech misses, crypto loses the mid-$70k floor. Bigger picture: • Short term: Options market remains heavily put-favored on the front end. • Long term: The "Fed Cut" is officially a 2027 story. Liquidity starvation has arrived. The rate cut is a fantasy. The inflation drag is real. Staying bearishly cautious, holding high cash, and buying the puts. $77k is a paper shield. -------- Rising manages a crypto-focused quantitative fund and offers SMA strategies for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.

What happened: • A weekend geopolitical scare triggered a massive $600M leverage liquidation. • The $80k structural floor has officially broken. • Major institutional heavyweights are quietly distributing their positions. Now key: The 50-day EMA ($76.7k). If this level snaps on a daily close, the macro structure flips firmly to the bears. Bigger picture: • Short term: Aggressive rush for market protection after weeks of rangebound complacency. • Long term: Crypto is absorbing the dual shock of sticky energy costs and tech sector cooling. The range is broken. The smart money is scaling back.
