[Trump: An agreement is expected to be reached within the coming week; today was just a minor hiccup]
Beijing News reports, according to ABC News, U.S. President Trump believes he will reach an agreement with Iran within "the next week" to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. "Things are going well, it looks great," Trump said. "There was a minor hiccup today, but I quickly turned it around." Trump revealed that the hiccup stemmed from Iran's dissatisfaction with Israel's strike on Lebanon. "So I spoke with Hezbollah in Lebanon and told them not to fire; then I contacted Netanyahu and told him not to fire either. As a result, both sides stopped shooting." Trump said that reaching a peace agreement with Iran could be "even better than achieving a military victory." Regarding when the memorandum of understanding to reopen the strait will be finalized and approved, Trump stated: "I think this will likely happen within the next week." He disclosed that he has not yet formally signed the agreement because "a few key details still need to be finalized."
Analysts hold differing views on Strategy's sale of Bitcoin, but most believe it does not impact the long-term HODL strategy.
According to Beibit, after Strategy disclosed its first Bitcoin sale in four years, Wall Street analysts are divided on the signal this move sends, but most believe the transaction size is too small to alter the company’s long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
According to the announcement, Strategy sold 32 bitcoins at an average price of approximately $77,135 between May 26 and 31, cashing out about $2.5 million to pay dividends on its high-yield perpetual preferred shares, STRC (Stretch). As of the end of May, Strategy still held over 843,700 bitcoins, with this sale representing only about 0.004% of its total holdings.
TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza said it is misleading to interpret this transaction as a significant reduction in Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings. He believes the transaction has minimal economic impact and does not alter the company’s core logic of accumulating Bitcoin, thus maintaining his $400 price target on MSTR stock.
Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer also believes that Strategy will not rely on selling Bitcoin as the primary source of funding for preferred dividend payments in the future, and is more likely to continue supplementing its cash reserves through stock issuance. However, he noted that this sale demonstrates that the company’s Bitcoin reserves can serve as a secure backstop for preferred dividend payments if necessary.
On the other hand, Mark Connors, Chief Investment Officer at Risk Dimensions, believes this move reflects Strategy’s growing priority of maintaining a healthy capital structure over adhering to an absolute stance of never selling Bitcoin. He noted that this demonstrates Michael Saylor’s willingness to sell a portion of Bitcoin when necessary to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors.
After the announcement, Strategy's stock price fell about 5% on Monday, while Bitcoin prices retreated to around $71,000, hitting a two-month low. The market's focus has now shifted from the 32 Bitcoin themselves to whether this is merely a routine financial transaction or an early signal that Strategy may adopt a more flexible approach to managing its Bitcoin reserves in the future.

[BofA warns of excessive concentration in U.S. equities: Current market conditions bear strong similarities to the peak of the 2000 dot-com bubble]
Blockworks reports that Michael Hartnett, Chief Investment Strategist at Bank of America, stated in his latest report that the current structure of the U.S. stock market exhibits strong similarities to the peak phase of the 2000 dot-com bubble, and investors should remain vigilant about risks in the late stage of the bull market and gradually shift toward defensive allocations.
Data shows that the S&P 500 reached a record closing high on the last trading day of May, but only 20 components simultaneously hit new all-time highs, most of which are concentrated in the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors. Hartnett noted that in March 2000, at the peak of the dot-com bubble, only about 20 stocks also reached new highs.
Recent gains in the U.S. stock market have been primarily driven by the AI industry chain. In May, Micron Technology (MU) rose 87.8%, SK Hynix increased 81%, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) climbed 45.6%, and Samsung Electronics gained 43%. Driven by this momentum, the Nasdaq Composite Index surged 25% over the two months from April to May, marking its best two-month performance in over two decades. However, several market breadth indicators are weakening. According to BCA Research, as of May 20, only about 55% of S&P 500 components were trading above their 200-day moving averages; the Advance-Decline Line has been declining since mid-April, indicating that while the index reaches new highs, fewer stocks are participating in the rally.
Hartnett believes that although the market speculation frenzy may not yet be over, tighter monetary policy and a high-interest-rate environment could ultimately become the turning point for this bull market. He advises investors to gradually increase allocations to long-term bonds, defensive sectors, and previously lagging areas that underperformed toward the end of the bubble, to mitigate potential market correction risks.
