Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin is currently trading around $79,867, with analysts warning resistance near $85,000. ETF inflows (up $1.69 billion) and geopolitical tensions (Iran conflict) are driving the upward trend.
Stocks: AI-related stocks like Nvidia supporting expanded projects such as Iren are rising, showing a strong correlation between the AI boom and stock market gains.
JPMorgan notes that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a “hedge tool” against gold, indicating macro headwinds are pressuring the crypto market.
Predictions and Trading Advice
Short-term gains: The Iran airspace closure market (39% probability, resolution date May 31) offers asymmetric returns. If tensions escalate, probabilities could quickly increase.
Long-term hedge: The probability of Bitcoin reaching $150,000 in 2026 is low (10%), but could increase if macro inflation worsens. Buying “Yes” at low prices now can provide leveraged hedging.
Risks and Cautions
Liquidity: Some markets are harder to exit due to low liquidity.
Crypto-related markets are highly sensitive to macroeconomic shocks (federal policies, geopolitical risks).
While sports and geopolitical events resolve quickly, election markets can tie up capital for years.
“CLARITY Act” Rise
The Clarity Act crypto legislation is currently the most trusted trade. Over the past 48 hours, the probability has risen from 60% to 68%. This increase is due to reports that the Senate Banking Committee has resolved the previous “stablecoin yield” controversy that hindered the bill.
Investors trade before official announcements. If signed, it would legalize Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital commodities and structurally eliminate the “regulatory snapshot” risk faced by US institutions.
Based on current technical indicators and market sentiment.
The market generally expects the June Federal Reserve meeting to “hold” (91%).
Given current Brent crude prices ($106 per barrel) and sticky inflation, a “hold” is more likely. However, if upcoming CPI data is high, the 9% “25 basis point rate hike” provides extremely cheap protection.
“CLARITY Act” as a Stock
Although 68 cents per dollar seems “expensive,” the momentum is one-sided.
Buy “Yes” stocks now. When the bill reaches the final vote in the House, these stocks typically rise to the 85-90 cent range before the final decision, offering about a 25% high-probability legislative event return.
“Avoid Area”: US-Iran Peace Agreement
Although President Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire on April 21, as of May 31, the “permanent peace agreement” market is only at a low 12%.
Prediction markets are skeptical of the “permanent” label in diplomacy. Unless a formal agreement is signed within the next two weeks, the “No” share offers a safe but low-yield lock, while “Yes” is like a high-risk lottery.
