In a new report, Goldman Sachs suggested that record pessimism and intense selling pressure have paradoxically set the stage for a strong market rebound if military tensions ease. According to the bank's Prime Brokerage desk, hedge funds have cut their global stock positions for six consecutive weeks, driven by short sellers. This sell-off has been broad-based, with net selling occurring across all major regions. The market has now reached a technical "Oversold" threshold. The report noted that selling momentum from systematic investors is becoming exhausted and that the market's asymmetry has shifted to the upside. Goldman Sachs anticipates that trend-following investors will likely return to buying over the next month, regardless of market conditions. The report also highlighted that rebalancing by pension funds and shifts in the options market are expected to alleviate pressure on stocks.

Bitcoin may be trading near a market bottom as its price approaches the break-even point for large mining companies, according to cryptocurrency analyst Murphy (@Murphychen888) on X. An analysis of four publicly traded mining firms—MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, and Bitfarms—revealed that their cost to mine one BTC is similar to the current market price. While electricity costs alone account for around $30,000 per coin, corporate expenses such as labor, financing, and depreciation add to the total cost. Murphy noted that in past bear markets, Bitcoin's price has historically dipped below its production cost before recovering, suggesting the current price range could represent a floor. He added that it has now become more expensive for these major companies to mine BTC than to purchase it directly on the market.

More than half of U.S. cryptocurrency investors do not properly understand how their assets are taxed, according to a survey by Coinbase and CoinTracker. The poll of 3,000 American crypto investors found that 49% were unaware that selling crypto is a taxable event, while 25% mistakenly believed that simply transferring assets between their own wallets would trigger a tax liability. This confusion is seen as a result of the introduction of the new digital asset tax form, 1099-DA. Coinbase stated that under current rules, all stablecoin payments, small-scale DeFi transactions, and gas fee payments are technically considered taxable events. The company emphasized that this regulatory burden not only inconveniences ordinary Americans but also directly threatens the innovation and adoption targeted by the GENIUS Act.

Pierre Rochard of the Bitcoin Bond Company has criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve's proposed Basel III revisions for their lack of clarity on capital requirements for Bitcoin, Cointelegraph reported. In a comment letter submitted to the Fed, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Rochard argued that authorities should not finalize the regulations without providing a clear rationale and framework. He warned that the ambiguity could increase legal risks for large banks involved in holding, lending, custody, and derivatives trading of BTC, potentially causing market confusion. Currently, Bitcoin is subject to a 1250% risk weight under the Basel framework. Rochard emphasized that while authorities have provided guidance for treating stock tokens similarly to traditional stocks, they have remained silent on BTC.
