Well-known crypto trader Doctor Profit stated that he has closed all cryptocurrency short positions, including a Bitcoin short position established in the $115,000 to $125,000 range, another Bitcoin short position established in the $79,000 to $82,000 range, and over 100 altcoin short positions opened in the past few months, claiming that these positions have all achieved significant profits.He also mentioned that he has re-entered Bitcoin spot at $64,000, marking his first long allocation since September 2025. His plan is to invest 5% of the planned funds daily for spot purchases when Bitcoin is in the $54,000 to $64,000 range, continuing for a maximum of 20 days; if the price approaches $54,000, he will increase the buying intensity. Doctor Profit believes that there is a clear "herd behavior" in the current market: investors who were previously bullish at high levels up to $150,000 are now generally waiting for Bitcoin to drop to $40,000 to $50,000, viewing September or October as the bottom of the four-year cycle. When a large number of investors are waiting for the same price and time point, the market may not operate according to this expectation, which is why he chose to build positions in advance, judging that this round of bottom may appear earlier than the market generally expects.He also listed regulatory clarity, asset tokenization infrastructure, and institutional adoption progress as structural reasons for the shift to buying, and retracted his previous prediction that Bitcoin would drop to $40,000 to $50,000. However, he still retains all short positions in the S&P 500 index, believing that the crypto market has undergone significant repricing, while U.S. stock valuations remain relatively high.

Ostium released an update on the attack incident. Its liquidity provider fund was attacked on July 15, resulting in a loss of 23,752,746 USDC. Preliminary investigations indicate that the attacker compromised the off-chain infrastructure that provides price data to the protocol and submitted disguised illegal price reports, extracting artificially generated profits from the fund by quickly opening and closing multiple large positions.Ostium stated that traders' collateral is stored in independently isolated smart contracts and was not affected by this incident, with all trading positions remaining open. The team paused trading and froze all trading contracts within 60 minutes after the first attack transaction occurred. Currently, Ostium is collaborating with Mandiant, zeroShadow, Collisionless, SEAL 911, and law enforcement agencies, coordinating with trading platforms, bridging contracts, and stablecoin issuers to advance the investigation. The engineering team is focused on repairing and strengthening the relevant infrastructure to support the secure resumption of trading.Ostium indicated that it will notify at least 24 hours in advance before unfreezing the trading contracts. After trading resumes, existing positions will be marked at the price at the time of reopening, unaffected by price fluctuations during the pause. Addressing the affected liquidity providers and securely resuming trading remains the current top priority.

Researcher Adam from Greeks.live stated that the trading of large Bitcoin call options has significantly increased, with a total of 25,766 BTC call options traded, with a nominal value of approximately $1.65 billion. Among them, nearly 10,000 sets of the 70,000/72,000 USD call bull spread expiring at the end of this month have been traded, making it the most active contract.Adam noted that with about two weeks left until expiration at the end of this month, the large-scale purchases of out-of-the-money call options that are about 10% higher than the current price reflect the market's optimistic expectations for the market trend in late this month; however, the trading strategy of using the lower-cost bull spread also indicates that the funds are primarily taking a tentative approach rather than making aggressive bets.

Market prediction platform Myriad traders give a 66.6% probability that Bitcoin will first drop to $55,000; the probability of it rising to $84,000 first is 33.4%. This probability has not changed significantly with recent price fluctuations.

According to Jinshi reports, options traders' views on the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate path are increasingly divergent, with various betting directions ranging from bets on interest rate cuts in the coming months to differing degrees of interest rate hikes. Swap market pricing shows that it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at its meeting on Wednesday, and all eyes will turn to Chairman Waller's first press conference for clues about future policy. Although the United States and Iran are preparing to officially sign a temporary peace agreement, oil prices have fallen to a three-month low, providing some relief to inflationary pressures, but future policy remains unclear.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin traders need to pay attention to the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on Tuesday this week. As of the week of June 9, the speculative short positions in yen held by leveraged funds have increased to over 115,000 contracts, the highest since November 2017. If the Bank of Japan raises interest rates to 1% as expected and hints at further tightening, these shorts may be covered, leading to a rise in the yen, which would impact yen-funded arbitrage trades.Arbitrage traders borrow yen to invest in high-yield risk assets, which have driven bull markets on Wall Street and in the bond market for years, and are also believed to support the crypto market. After the Bank of Japan raised interest rates in July 2024, the rapid covering of yen shorts led to a significant rise in the yen, causing severe fluctuations in Wall Street, the Nikkei index, and the crypto market, with Bitcoin dropping from about $65,000 to $50,000 within a week. If after this rate hike, Governor Ueda Kazuo hints at faster tightening or that rates may rise above 1%, the yen will strengthen significantly, causing turbulence in the financial markets. Crypto assets are the most sensitive to sudden changes in liquidity and may be impacted the most severely.

According to Jinshi reports, Wall Street traders expect a strong employment report to be released on Friday, but fluctuations in oil prices have shifted attention more towards inflation issues. Crude oil prices continue to rise, and the stock market is performing steadily. Traders are concerned about the persistence of inflationary pressures and the Federal Reserve's response, anticipating that the Fed's interest rate decision in June will be the most important event for the S&P 500 index in the coming month.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to a surge in energy prices, raising concerns that global central banks may raise interest rates to combat inflation. On Monday, the index rose by 0.4%.
