🗓️ We're Taking a Short Break
A quick note before we dive in: today's report is our last before a two-week break.
We'll be back in your inbox on Friday, June 5th, resuming our usual schedule from there.
Thank you for reading, enjoy the time off if you're taking some too, and we'll see you on the other side.
Hello and happy Friday!
Markets are entering another highly fragile phase as rising Treasury yields, sticky inflation concerns, and increasingly narrow equity leadership continue colliding with weakening crypto momentum and deteriorating risk appetite.
This week’s report breaks down these evolving dynamics with 14 detailed charts covering the AI-driven concentration powering equities higher, mounting pressure from rising bond yields, and Bitcoin’s increasingly critical battle. The crypto section dives into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, outlining precise long and short setups with clearly defined entry points, targets, and invalidation levels.
Here’s what we’ll cover today:
🌍 Market Recap & Macro Overview: How Treasury yields, narrow AI-driven equity leadership, and weakening crypto sentiment are reshaping conditions.
📈 Bitcoin (BTC) Breakdown: ETF outflows, failure to reclaim $78,300, and the key levels defining whether the current structure stabilizes or weakens further.
📊 Ethereum (ETH) Outlook: Ethereum continues consolidating while ETH/BTC remains structurally weak and ETF outflows persist across the board.
🚀 Solana (SOL) Analysis: SOL shows relative strength against Bitcoin and Ethereum, while still struggling below major technical resistance levels.
Let’s dive in 👇
Copy BlackRock's $10 Trillion Playbook
BlackRock manages $10 trillion using a playbook that's been hidden from retail investors for decades.
Until now.
I reverse-engineered their three-phase system into the ABN Framework:
A - All-Weather Portfolio (protect your base in any market)
B - Become Your Own Bank (collect fees like institutions)
N - Native Markets (get in before major exchange listings)
The same institutional edge... without needing millions in capital.
Over 4,000 investors are already using this:
Bill generated $932,000 in 21 days using our Native Markets strategy.
David made $27,000 in passive returns in just 2 weeks.
Jeff 5x'd his entire portfolio with our ABN framework.
The window's closing as institutional money floods in, so act quick.

🌍 Market Recap & Macro Overview:
Bitcoin is down roughly 40% from its $126,000 October peak and has spent the better part of three months unable to meaningfully recover. Hotter-than-expected inflation data has been the main headwind, flushing out leveraged positions and pushing sentiment back into fear territory. We cover Bitcoin in depth later in this report.

Equities tell the opposite story. The Dow crossed 50,000 on May 14, led by Nvidia, Cisco, and Goldman Sachs, then added another 645 points on May 20 as US-Iran peace talks lifted sentiment. The recovery looks powerful, but the next chart reveals what's really driving it.

Better cap table management starts here
Cap table management doesn’t have to be frustrating. From issuing grants to 409A valuations or ASC 718 reporting Pulley can make it simple.
Just ask Linear. They knew they needed a partner who could handle the complexity of their equity management. That’s why they migrated to Pulley.
It's almost entirely AI. Strip out AI stocks and the S&P 500's two-year gain collapses from 142% to 16%. The gap between the cap-weighted and equal-weighted index just hit its widest level in history, surpassing the dot-com era. Most stocks are not participating, a handful of mega-caps are carrying the entire market.

That makes the bond market's message especially important. The 10-year Treasury yield hit 4.61% last week, a 10-month high, and Fed minutes show most policymakers are open to another rate hike if inflation stays above 2%. At these levels, risk-free Treasuries are a genuine alternative to equities, raising the cost of capital for everyone.

The bottom line: One engine, AI, is holding up equities while bonds tighten and crypto flashes red on risk appetite. Watch the 10-year yield: a push toward 4.75% would stress both the narrow stock rally and Bitcoin's fragile recovery simultaneously.

📈 Bitcoin (BTC) Breakdown:
Bitcoin attempted to move higher after briefly bouncing off $76,000 on Tuesday, but throughout the entire past week it has remained unable to reclaim the key $78,300 technical level that was lost on Monday. This is increasingly becoming a make-or-break moment for Bitcoin, as a move below $76,000 could trigger a bearish market structure shift and further downside acceleration.
