Cryptocurrency quantitative analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that Bitcoin recently reached an average entry cost of $74,200 for U.S. Bitcoin ETF holders. If Bitcoin can maintain a position above this level, ETF holders will shift from losses to breakeven (neutral); if it falls below, it indicates that the market structure remains weak and pressure continues.On the other hand, the cost basis for short-term holders (STH) is approximately $83,734, which is the main resistance level in the current market. Analysts believe that only when the cost of Bitcoin ETF holders further narrows the gap with the STH cost basis can the Bitcoin market structure see a more significant improvement.

Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi tweeted, "As Iran is willing to give up uranium enrichment as a compromise to end the war, the war is progressing towards a complete end as expected, hoping that world peace is not just an empty slogan. At the same time, the structural bill will eventually pass, and I remain optimistic about this rebound market, unless the guns start firing again.Recently, I've seen many people get liquidated in altcoin contracts. Altcoins themselves are high-risk, and adding contracts makes it a guaranteed losing game, especially when your opponent controls the chips, capital, and technology. Buffett is right; slowly getting rich is the best way. No matter how skilled you are, winning five times in a row and losing everything on the sixth is not a normal business model."

However, due to the limited number of shares employees were willing to sell, some investors were unable to acquire as many shares as planned. Informed sources stated that the offer price for this acquisition is the same as the company's most recent financing valuation from February of this year. According to its latest transaction, the company's valuation is $350 billion.The total amount of the share sale has not been disclosed, but some individuals indicated that its scale is below the $6 billion raised by investors. Anthropic employees hope to retain more shares before the company's upcoming initial public offering (IPO), which is expected to take place as early as this year.One individual stated that this lower-than-expected transaction indicates that employees are optimistic about the company's prospects as its annual revenue rises.

According to Jin Shi reports, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes show that "the vast majority" of officials believe that the pace of inflation relief may be slower than expected, mainly due to three intertwined concerns: the impact of tariffs on commodity prices may take longer to dissipate; the transmission effect of oil prices on core inflation; and the years of inflation rates being above the target level, which makes inflation expectations more susceptible to new shocks.

According to Jinshi reports, "the Federal Reserve's mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that even if the conflict never occurs, the possibility of a federal funds rate cut is gradually diminishing. The labor market is performing better than expected, while the pace of inflation decline in terms of PCE has not met officials' expectations.

According to market news, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman privately stated this year that he hopes the company can complete its IPO as early as the fourth quarter; CFO Sarah Friar has revealed to several colleagues that she believes the company will not be ready for an IPO until 2026, citing reasons including the required processes and organizational workload, as well as the financial risks associated with high computing power procurement commitments.Internally, Altman has repeatedly excluded Friar from financial decisions. In recent months, he did not invite Friar to participate in discussions with a top investor regarding server procurement, with one attendee describing her absence as "notable and awkward," as she had participated in previous meetings on the same topic. Since August of last year, Friar has no longer reported directly to Altman, but instead reports to application business head Fidji Simo, breaking the norm where CFOs of large companies typically report directly to the CEO.On the financial front, OpenAI has committed to investing over $600 billion in cloud servers over the next five years, with internal forecasts predicting that it will consume over $200 billion in cash before achieving positive cash flow. The $122 billion financing commitment announced this week primarily comes from Amazon and Nvidia, both of which are also OpenAI's cloud server and chip suppliers, creating a circular capital arrangement. Anthropic has surpassed OpenAI to become the preferred AI model for enterprises and developers, and OpenAI's revenue growth is also slowing.Preparations for the IPO have quietly begun: OpenAI has engaged the law firms Cooley and Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz and has had preliminary communications with the IPO teams at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Altman privately expressed a desire to go public before Anthropic, which is currently discussing its IPO plans for the fourth quarter of this year. The two executives later issued a joint statement saying they are "completely aligned on the computing power strategy."

According to Cointelegraph, renowned trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt and prediction market users hold a pessimistic view on the prospect of Bitcoin reaching a new high in 2026. Peter Brandt stated, "I don't think Bitcoin will reach a new high in 2026; it may have to wait until the second quarter of 2027." He also added, "It's all speculation." The probability of Bitcoin returning to $120,000 in 2026 on Polymarket is only 15%.Regarding the low point of the year, Peter Brandt indicated that the $60,000 level on February 6 may not be the lowest of the year, predicting that it might retest that level or even "slightly lower" in September or October this year, at which point it will be the low point of the bear market cycle, initiating a new bull market. He also stated that his long-term logic regarding Bitcoin remains unchanged: "The story of Bitcoin is wealth storage; whether practicality can be built on Bitcoin may affect its price," and he mentioned that he holds a neutral or bearish stance on all other cryptocurrencies.Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo stated on March 17 that, from a liquidity perspective, Bitcoin has completed about "one-third of the bear market." SkyBridge managing partner Anthony Scaramucci also mentioned last week that Bitcoin is currently in the bear market phase of a four-year cycle, and pointed out that the established whale group that believes in the four-year cycle may create a self-fulfilling prophecy. In terms of sentiment, the spot Bitcoin ETF ended four weeks of consecutive net inflows, recording a net outflow of $296.18 million last week. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index reported 8 on Monday, remaining in the "extreme fear" range since March 20.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," stated on social media that the continuous expansion of national debt and the increase in money supply will drive inflation upward, putting continuous depreciation pressure on dollar savings.

Citi's Chief Investment Officer, Kate Moore, believes that investors seem overly optimistic, thinking that the U.S.-Iran issue is about to be resolved. She stated on Wednesday, "Some of the price fluctuations we've experienced, especially in the last two days, actually indicate that people have a great deal of optimism about the problem being resolved, and they also believe that this energy shock will not trigger widespread inflationary effects. To be honest, that worries me a bit."She added, "Regarding how to construct a portfolio, I hope to proceed with extremely cautious consideration. Because what we want to build right now is a portfolio that has risk resilience, and we must also ensure that we can withstand inflation risks and the possibility of conflicts lasting longer than current market optimists expect."

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Milan expressed optimism about stablecoins and will invest more funds into the dollar ecosystem.

According to Jinshi Data, Goldman Sachs stated that the recent decline in gold prices is generally consistent with past trends, noting that the increase in interest rate expectations and market volatility are the main factors leading to the price drop.The co-head of the global commodities research department, Damien Courvalin, said on Wednesday, "Given our current pricing framework, this decline is not surprising." He pointed out that the rise in interest rate expectations has impacted investor demand, particularly through ETFs. Extreme market pressure can also affect gold prices, as investors facing margin calls often sell gold along with other assets.He also noted that the recent rise in gold prices has exceeded fundamental expectations, with some of the pullback reflecting "a certain degree of normalization." However, Goldman Sachs maintains its overall optimistic outlook, expecting gold prices to reach $5,400 by the end of the year. The reasoning is supported by the ongoing central bank purchases of gold as countries seek to diversify their assets (i.e., shifting towards assets with "lower political and financial risks").

According to DL News, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has once again expressed support for asset tokenization technology, believing it can effectively lower investment barriers and allow more ordinary people to participate in the capital markets.Fink pointed out that nearly half of Americans are currently not participating in public market investments, and the development of artificial intelligence will further exacerbate wealth concentration issues. Tokenization may be the key to breaking this deadlock. BlackRock predicts that the tokenization market size will reach $20 trillion by 2030, covering traditional financial assets such as stocks, ETFs, indices, and commodities.Currently, institutions like Robinhood and Kraken have taken the lead in launching tokenized stock products. Fink also emphasized that market development still relies on the establishment of a clear regulatory framework, including buyer protection mechanisms, counterparty risk standards, and supporting systems for digital identity verification.
