Deep Tide TechFlow News, June 30 - According to the weekly market report released by BIT Official, the sharp sell-off in semiconductor and AI stocks on June 23-24 triggered defensive adjustments by institutional capital. BTC fell below $60K on June 24, hitting a low of ~$59,000 (an intraday drop of about 5%), with approximately $994 million in liquidations during the same period (of which about $780 million were longs). The ~$1.2 billion notional Put positions at $60K forced market makers to short, exacerbating the decline. By the weekend, BTC was trading at ~$59,992, down 6.9% for the week; ETH was at ~$1,578, down 9.3% for the week.

On the volatility front, DVOL only rose slightly (BTC 44.1→45.7, ETH 57.3→59.5), the front-end skew stabilized, and convexity returned to normal. The institutional defensive hedge ratio dropped from 29.6% to 19.7%, shifting toward two-way balance, exhibiting an "orderly decline" rather than panic selling.

In terms of ETFs, for the week ending June 26, U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw net outflows of approximately $1.79 billion, the second-highest weekly outflow on record, and have recorded net outflows for seven consecutive weeks. IBIT's net assets fell to about $44.4 billion, with the average holder facing an unrealized loss of about 40%. Strategy purchased only 520 BTC (about $34.9 million) this week, a significant slowdown compared to the previous two weeks. MSTR's stock price has fallen below its BTC book value, and the flywheel effect is structurally suppressed.

BIT believes that $60K has evolved from a comfortable support level into the only support level. The current risk level has been raised by one notch. It is recommended to prioritize deploying a Collar strategy without margin calls, gradually build positions in batches and set stop losses. Reduce positions only when prices rebound to the $62-64K range. For volatility-selling strategies, position sizes should be reduced and the knock-in buffer range expanded.
