Hey Traders,

Markets are brushing off macro friction as a massive $789 billion AI capex buildout hijacks the global narrative. S&P 500 earnings expectations are surging 32%, with semiconductor stocks single-handedly driving equities higher. Meanwhile, the US dollar wiped out recent Treasury interventions while geopolitical risk with Iran lingers.

Oil prices and Bitcoin continue to move in lockstep as macro trading decouples from traditional Fed policy expectations. Even with the USDT supply shrinking $4 billion over 60 days, crypto is holding remarkably strong. Bad news is simply failing to push market prices downward.

Our crypto market analysis shows institutional capital absorbing supply while long-term holders stack through the noise. On-chain data confirms liquidity is quietly building underneath, laying the groundwork for a rotation into high-throughput altcoins. Here’s what our desk is watching.

Litecoin has pulled back to retest its primary ascending trendline and local horizontal support near $45.15–$45.49, holding structure on the 12-hour timeframe. Functioning as a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency focused on fast, low-cost global transactions and widespread payment adoption, this long trade setup targets a recovery rebound back up toward the $50.23–$50.58 resistance target as long as the $40.36–$41.69 support base holds.

Trade Levels:

  • Entry: $41.69

Uniswap has broken below its primary ascending support trendline near $3.997–$4.007, triggering a short trade setup on the 8-hour timeframe. Serving as the leading decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol across Ethereum and major Layer-2 networks, this setup projects a breakdown expansion toward the $3.545–$3.703 support zone before establishing a potential consolidation base, as long as overhead resistance near $4.022–$4.225 limits upside pullbacks.

Trade Levels:

  • Entry: $3.545

  • Stop Loss: $3.322

  • Take Profit Levels (TP):

    • TP1: $3.847

    • TP2: $4.225

$30B ARR. Anthropic overtook OpenAI in April. Not hype. Revenue.

Rain Trade: Anthropic 64% | OpenAI 11.5% | Google 11%

  • Claude FABLE 5 leads coding at 80.8% SWE-bench. 1M context standard. Enterprises switching for regulated work.

  • OpenAI at 11.5%? GPT-5.5 landed, but revenue doesn’t lie. Google at 11%? Owns compute, lacks narrative.

  • This market asks, Does revenue predict model quality, or the other way around?

(NFLX refers to the stock of Netflix and not a cryptocurrency.)

Netflix has staged a strong higher-low bounce off its $67.81–$68.73 demand base, breaking through local structure to trade near $76.31–$76.66 on the 8-hour timeframe. Supported by steady ad-tier subscriber growth, robust global content engagement, and margin expansion driven by price adjustments, this long trade setup targets a recovery continuation toward the $81.92–$83.93 resistance zone as long as support holds above $72.20–$75.16.

Trade Levels:

  • Entry: $75.16

  • Stop Loss: $72.20

  • Take Profit Levels (TP):

    • TP1: $79

    • TP2: $84

Banter’s Take

Our research approach continues to bridge the gap between massive macro narratives like the $789 billion AI capex buildout and the precise, actionable trade setups you need to navigate them. By layering institutional flow data with rigorous technical analysis, we identify the specific supply and demand zones that define the next moves across both crypto and traditional equities. This disciplined methodology ensures we aren’t just reacting to headlines, but positioning ahead of the market’s next major shift.

The five trades highlighted today, from our short setups on Ethereum and ONDO to the bullish recovery plays on Litecoin and Netflix, exemplify our commitment to timing entries and exits with clarity.

As we move forward, our team will keep digging deeper into the institutional flows and technical patterns that are reshaping the week ahead. We appreciate you trusting our analysis to help you stay ahead in a volatile environment, and we look forward to delivering more alpha in tomorrow’s edition.
