Bitcoin dropped from over $120,000 to under $59,999 due to selling pressure and stronger US dollar appeal. With a 50% chance of falling below $50,000 by year-end, investors are shifting toward treasury ETFs yielding 3.9%-4.6%. Crypto platform stocks like Coinbase and SoFi face high short interest as bears predict downside, while conservative investors avoid digital bank peers Nu Holdings and PayPal.

- Bitcoin (BTC-USD) fell from over $120,000 to below $59,999 since November 2025, with predictions suggesting a 50/50 chance of dropping below $50,000 by year-end.  
- This decline is attributed to selling pressure as other assets became more appealing, despite the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting 172,000 new jobs and the potential for a rate hike strengthening the US dollar.  
- Investors are moving away from cryptocurrency platforms towards long-term treasury bill ETFs, with stocks of platforms like Coinbase and SoFi facing increased short interest.

The Nasdaq dropped 4.77% last week, driven by a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report that increased the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate hikes. This macroeconomic data strengthened the U.S. dollar and pressured bond ETFs. Additionally, Broadcom's disappointing quarterly results triggered a sell-off in semiconductor stocks, contributing to a $1 trillion market capitalization wipeout despite broader gains since February.

- Stock markets experienced a sharp decline after a surprisingly strong jobs report indicated 172,000 jobs were added in May, significantly surpassing expectations.  
- This outcome raised concerns over potential interest rate increases by the Fed, leading to a negative reaction in stock prices, particularly a 4.77% drop in Nasdaq.  
- Despite the recent sell-off, markets have overall risen by $5.76 trillion since February, with long-term investments in sectors like semiconductors remaining profitable.

Japan's Finance Minister warned of 'decisive action' to defend the yen as it neared the 160-per-dollar threshold. Foreign reserves dropped by $77.1 billion, a historic fall attributed to selling US Treasuries for intervention. The government maintains close coordination with the US and asserts its right to combat excessive volatility, while analysts note constraints on future large-scale interventions due to reserve depletion.
