$EURUSD The euro has gained short-term momentum against the dollar, currently trading between 1.1424 and 1.1442, following a 0.5% weekly gain last week after weak employment data.
The story behind this movement is that both sides are largely balancing each other out. On the dollar side, June's non-farm payrolls data came in at just 57,000, significantly below expectations, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, but this is due to a decline in labor force participation. This data significantly reduced the likelihood of a July rate hike, and the dollar is trading near its lowest level in two weeks. However, there is a similar softening on the euro side; June inflation fell to 2.8%, below expectations, and core inflation also dropped to 2.4%, leading European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to present a more balanced outlook at the Sintra forum, making statements that weakened the possibility of a third rate hike.
So, while both central banks are signaling tightening on their side, signs of the limits of this tightening are emerging on both sides, which explains why the pair is stuck in a narrow range. The main determining event this week will be the release of the FOMC meeting minutes. If the minutes show that the Fed maintained its hawkish stance, the dollar could regain strength despite last week's weak employment data, increasing the likelihood of a continued downward trend in the pair. On the European Central Bank side, the next meeting is on July 23rd, and any official statements leading up to that date are also worth watching.
Looking at the given technical levels, a break above 1.1450 could bring 1.1462, 1.1472, and 1.1488 into play, which would be a scenario where the euro's short-term momentum continues. On the downside, a break below 1.1433 could open a series of declines to 1.1426, 1.1418, 1.1407, 1.1394, and 1.1378, signaling a resurgence of dollar strength. In a broader technical context, the 1.1400 level stands out as a critical reference point; a sustained drop below this level could mean the pair enters a much larger downtrend.
For those following dollar-linked assets and the crypto market through Gate, the key point to watch is whether this week's Fed minutes will reinforce the market's expectation of loose monetary policy following last week's weak employment data. This narrow range in the euro-dollar pair reflects a balance where both central banks are on a similar tightening trajectory, but the market is still unsure how long either can sustain it.

$CL Crude oil continued its consolidation trend at the start of the week, with WTI stuck around $68.60, briefly rising to $69.26 during the day before falling below $69 on Monday. This follows a weak attempt at a recovery that has continued since last Friday, but the strength of the recovery remains limited.
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains central to this pricing. According to the latest reports, some tankers were still making unusual route changes on Saturday, while major sea lanes reportedly returned to near-normal levels by Sunday. Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports have recovered to approximately ninety percent of pre-war levels, and the United Arab Emirates has similarly returned to pre-war export levels using the pipeline through the strait. Total daily flow through the strait has exceeded 10 million barrels.
However, supply-side pressure remains quite significant. OPEC+ has approved an additional production increase of 188,000 barrels per day for next month, primarily led by Saudi Arabia and Russia. Iran is also reportedly in talks to resume crude oil sales to Japanese companies under a temporary US sanctions waiver, which is reflected in expectations of additional supply to the market. Saudi Arabia also lowered its main crude oil price for Asia, discounting it to $1.50 per barrel compared to the Oman/Dubai reference, indicating that the supply surplus is also being felt on the pricing side.
However, geopolitical risk has not completely disappeared. Last week, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard warned tankers about unauthorized passage, and the dispute between Iran and the US over the long-term management of the strait and transit fees remains unresolved. Iran defines it as a maritime service fee, while the US argues that it is an international waterway and should not be charged. This unresolved dispute remains a real source of fragility underlying the current calm price environment.
The given resistance and support levels accurately reflect this balanced but tense environment. Short-term resistance starts at 68.90 and extends to 69.25, 69.95, 70.20, and 70.80, while support starts at 68.35 and extends to 68.00, 67.70, 67.40, and 67.00. The technical outlook remains weak at the moment; WTI is trading below its short-term moving averages, and the $70 level stands out as a critical ceiling. Some analysts suggest that if prices remain below this level, they could fall to $60, while a decisive breakout above $70 could reverse the outlook upwards.
For those following energy-related assets via the Gate, the key point to watch is that as long as transit through the strait continues to normalize, the geopolitical risk premium appears likely to continue eroding. However, it is still too early to assume this calm will be permanent until the transit fee dispute between Iran and the US is resolved. Any news of new friction could quickly break this narrow consolidation band upwards.

$USDJPY Japan's currency crisis has moved well past a simple exchange rate story and into something showing up directly in bankruptcy filings, bond yields, and the credibility of official intervention itself.
The corporate toll is now measurable and record setting. Forty five Japanese firms filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2026 explicitly citing yen weakness as a cause, according to Tokyo Shoko Research, which only began tracking this category in 2022, making this the worst six month stretch on record, up more than 30 percent from 34 a year earlier. The damage is concentrated almost entirely among smaller firms, over three quarters of these bankruptcies involved companies with liabilities under 100 million yen, wholesale and import dependent businesses that have essentially no pricing power to pass rising costs onto customers. The mechanism making this worse for many smaller importers is a specific hedging instrument, reverse knockout options, which void themselves the moment the yen crosses a preset trigger level, forcing exactly the firms least equipped to absorb losses into buying dollars at the single worst possible moment.
The currency itself has been genuinely unstable this week rather than just steadily weak. USD/JPY pushed to 162 on Tuesday, its weakest since 1986 and effectively a four decade low, before yen bulls attempted a rebound past 161 on reports Tokyo might stop pre-signaling intervention plans, a tactic meant to catch speculative shorts off guard rather than telegraph moves the way April's operation did. That rebound gave back roughly half its gains by Monday as Tokyo again failed to actually intervene despite Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama repeating that authorities stand ready to act. Markets are increasingly skeptical any intervention delivers more than a temporary pause, April and May's combined interventions reportedly totaled a record 11.7 trillion yen, around 73 billion dollars, and the currency has still ground back toward these same lows.
The bond market side adds a genuinely difficult constraint on how Japan can respond. Ten year JGB yields have pushed up near multi decade highs, and for an economy carrying debt around 260 percent of GDP, financed for years on the assumption of persistently cheap yen funding, rising yields directly raise the government's own debt servicing costs. That creates the bind at the center of this whole situation, a weak yen feeds import driven inflation, but the Bank of Japan can't tighten fast enough to defend the currency without risking the debt service math becoming unsustainable. Goldman Sachs has reportedly revised its USD/JPY forecast up from 155 to 165, reflecting the view that yen weakness has further to run rather than nearing exhaustion, and other reporting suggests a push toward 170 isn't out of the question.
Tonight's calendar carries real weight given this backdrop. Japan releases labor cash earnings, current account, and bank lending data, and the read here matters more than usual, strong wage growth would raise the odds of further Bank of Japan tightening, while soft prints keep the central bank in a dovish holding pattern, meaning continued yen softness. This connects to broader risk assets in a fairly direct way, higher Japanese rates tend to drain global liquidity since Japan has long been a major funding source for carry trades into other assets, while continued BOJ dovishness acts as a liquidity tailwind. Outside Japan the calendar stays quiet until Wednesday's FOMC minutes, which remains the bigger catalyst this week.
For anyone tracking correlated macro risk across currencies, bonds, and crypto on Gate, the practical read is that USD/JPY, the dollar index, and Bitcoin liquidity conditions are worth watching together rather than separately this week. The underlying message from Japan's data run so far is straightforward, the corporate bankruptcy numbers show the weak yen is now actively breaking parts of the domestic economy, but the bond yield constraint means Tokyo has limited room to fix it quickly without creating a separate fiscal problem, and liquidity conditions tend to move risk assets more than headlines do.

With gStocks, the days of market closure are over. Access to eligible tokenized shares is available 24/7 through Gate, without being limited by normal trading hours.
The working principle of these products is quite simple: each tokenized share is backed by a one-to-one collateral against the corresponding physical stock. This means that owning a tokenized share provides direct exposure to the price movement of that company's physical stock; only the trading hours and infrastructure are handled via blockchain.
The biggest practical advantage of this is the ability to react instantly to important news that emerges during nighttime hours or weekends when traditional exchanges are closed. Normally, if a critical development regarding a company occurs after the stock market closes on Friday evening, investors have to wait until Monday morning, which usually comes with the risk of a sharp opening gap. In a continuously trading environment, position management against such news becomes much more flexible.
Fractional trading is also a key part of this structure, allowing access to high-priced stocks with small amounts, making traditionally high-entry assets much more accessible. Because digital assets and traditional stocks can be managed together within the same account structure, users can track their entire portfolio from a single location without switching between different platforms.
There's also a point to consider in continuously trading markets: during periods of low liquidity, especially at night, price fluctuations can be sharper than during normal trading hours, so position size and risk management should be handled more cautiously during these times. But overall, the idea that the market no longer recognizes time constraints, and that opportunities should also be open to time, aligns with Gate's offering of this structure to its users via gStocks.

US technology funds recorded net inflows of $14.3 billion in the week ending July 1, marking the second-largest weekly inflow in history. The four-week moving average also rose to a record high of $9.0 billion, with the annualized rate projected to reach $152 billion by 2026.
What's truly remarkable is not the figure itself, but the sharp fluctuations it represents. Two weeks ago, technology funds saw inflows of $19.2 billion; last week, this completely reversed, with outflows of $9.3 billion; and now we are witnessing a strong recovery. This three-week zigzag demonstrates the volatile and rapidly shifting nature of market appetite for the technology sector, with capital movements constantly changing direction instead of a stable trend.
This is further evidenced by the fact that broad-based US equity funds experienced their largest weekly outflow since March during the same period. According to a Bank of America report based on EPFR data, US equity funds saw outflows of $17.2 billion in a single week. This doesn't necessarily mean the market has crashed, but it indicates that investors are becoming more cautious after a period of strong rally. During the same week, global equity funds attracted a total of $10.4 billion in inflows, with Asian equity funds recording their strongest inflow in seven weeks, totaling $7 billion, while US funds saw limited inflows of around $1 billion. This is a clear sign of rotation; capital appears to be shifting away from US and technology concentrations to regions with less valuation pressure. However, technology funds themselves continue to attract strong inflows independently of this rotation, suggesting that both are occurring simultaneously.
A strategist at BNY interpreted this as a sign of fatigue in the AI-focused rally, and the MSCI World Index also fell 2.07% last week amid concerns about concentration risks and spending plans by large cloud companies. On the other hand, BNP Paribas's head of Asia Pacific equity research stated that the bank's technology analysts see no signs of a slowdown in the sector's earnings momentum and expect the second-quarter earnings season to be supportive. So, even among institutions, there's no clear consensus on what this data means.
The real significance of this picture is that it shows capital is now aggressively concentrating not on the broad-based US market, but directly on the technology and semiconductor sector. Such a concentration can lead to sharp rises when news supporting the sector emerges, but it also carries the risk of equally sharp pullbacks in the event of any negative surprises. For those following both equity and crypto markets through Gate, the key point to watch is whether this three-week zigzag of ups and downs will stabilize in one direction in the coming weeks, because the current picture shows less of a clear trend reversal and more how fragile the market's confidence in the technology sector has become.

The Russell 2000 forward price-to-earnings ratio, when considering all companies, has risen to approximately 33x, surpassing even the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Excluding loss-making companies, the ratio remains around 16x, a level not seen in nearly thirty years.
The gap between these two figures is actually the most telling detail. It's widely known that approximately forty percent of the components of the small business index are currently not profitable, which is the main factor mathematically inflating the index's headline P/E ratio. Such a large segment of an index having negative or near-zero earnings can make the average ratio appear absurdly high, as the earnings side becomes almost irrelevant as a denominator. Even when you exclude loss-making companies and only look at profitable ones, reaching a level of 16x indicates a real strain on the pure valuation side as well; this isn't just a statistical distortion.
This picture is the result of a dramatic transformation in the small business sector over the past year. At the start of the year, the Russell 2000 was trading at a historic valuation discount compared to the S&P 500, with forward P/E ratios around 18 times, while the S&P 500 was over 24 times. This rotation, driven by the expectation that Fed interest rate cuts would ease the variable-rate debt burden on small businesses, gained momentum over time, and the index experienced several sharp upward periods during the year. However, much of this growth came from multiple expansions rather than profit growth—meaning prices increased much faster than earnings.
The risk side of this should not be ignored. A significant portion of small business debt is variable-rate, and many of these companies will have to refinance debt taken out during low-rate periods. With the possibility of interest rate hikes back on the table and the Fed adopting a hawkish stance, these highly valued but low-earnings companies are particularly vulnerable. Historically, such widespread valuation excesses, especially in parts not supported by earnings growth, tend to experience the sharpest corrections when the interest rate environment tightens.
This means that beneath the strong performance story of the small business index lie two different realities: a reasonable recovery of genuinely profitable companies with solid balance sheets, and the simultaneous overvaluation of underperforming companies inflated by speculative interest and low interest rate expectations. For those following both the stock and crypto markets through Gate, the crucial point is that as long as this divergence continues, every new signal regarding the Fed's interest rate path will continue to produce much sharper reactions in the small business index compared to large stock indices, because this segment's debt structure and earnings quality represent a much more fragile version of the average.

$USDTRY The Turkish lira has truly hit a new all-time low against the dollar, and this decline is actually a result of two interconnected narratives: one driven by deliberate policy choices, and the other by external shocks.
USD/TRY is currently trading above 46.70, having lost between 17% and 17.4% of its value in the last 12 months, and the lira has depreciated by approximately seven percent since the beginning of the year. This appears to be more of a gradual and managed depreciation than a panic-style collapse, as the central bank shifted to a more orthodox framework with Mehmet Şimşek's arrival at the Treasury and Finance Ministry in 2023. The underlying idea of this strategy is to create a gradual real appreciation by allowing the lira to depreciate slower than inflation, supported by foreign exchange interventions.
However, this managed decline scenario has been put to a real stress test in recent months. The energy shock triggered by the Iran war has posed a serious risk to the disinflation path, as Turkey is a heavily reliant economy on imports of oil and gas. Inflation rose for the second consecutive month in May, reaching 32.61%, prompting the central bank to keep interest rates unchanged for a third time in June. Therefore, the weakening of the lira is not only a monetary policy choice but also a direct reflection of a geopolitically driven energy cost shock.
From a technical perspective, the exchange rate has long been significantly above all moving averages, and the RSI indicator has remained in the overbought region almost continuously since mid-2022. This suggests that the market has priced in the weakening of the lira as a normalized trend, meaning that each new low is no longer a shock but a continuation of an expected process. Some analysts suggest that this outlook indicates the exchange rate could advance to 48 by 2026, although such predictions are subject to frequent changes due to political and economic uncertainties.
Structurally, it's important to emphasize that the central bank's independence in Türkiye is limited, and the president's power to change the bank's management has been used repeatedly in the past. Some analysts argue that the weak lira provides certain advantages to the economy by making exports cheaper and tourism more attractive, meaning this picture can be read not only as an indicator of weakness but also as part of a deliberate competitiveness strategy.
In conclusion, the picture here is closer to a deliberately managed devaluation process, driven by an energy shock and structural inflationary pressures, than to a pure capital flight panic scenario. For those following exchange rate and macroeconomic developments through Gate, the main point to watch is whether the central bank will continue with interest rate cuts in upcoming meetings, because a renewed rise in inflation remains the most critical factor directly testing the sustainability of this gradually managed decline strategy.

History was made, and this time it was Morocco that wrote it.
The Atlas Lions advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup by eliminating Canada with a resounding 3-0 victory, becoming the first African nation to reach the quarterfinals in two consecutive tournaments. This is more than just a match result; it's the continuation of a much larger story. Morocco, which hadn't even qualified for a World Cup since 1998 before 2018, experienced an unprecedented rise in football history over the last four years. In 2022 in Qatar, they topped their group and reached the semifinals, achieving something no other African team had ever done. They didn't stop there; they set a historic 19-match unbeaten run, won the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup, and also became champions of the Africa Cup of Nations that same year.
The architect of this latest success is Mohamed Ouahbi, who took over the national team in 2026 and previously coached Morocco's U20 and U23 squads. At the heart of the team is Paris Saint-Germain's left-back Achraf Hakimi, who has increased the national team's goal tally to 12, while in midfield, Bayern Munich's Ismael Saibari has emerged as the tournament's surprise star and is Morocco's top scorer. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has also been a cornerstone of the defense with seven crucial saves in five matches. In a post-match statement, coach Ouahbi said this team is not afraid of history, they are here to make history.
The quarter-final race continues at full speed. A real giant match is next: five-time champions Brazil face Norway in New Jersey on Sunday. Brazil narrowly advanced to the round of 16 with a 2-1 victory over Japan, thanks to a late goal – their first comeback win in a knockout match since 2002. Norway, meanwhile, secured their first round of 16 victory in 28 years with a 2-1 win against Ivory Coast, also thanks to a late goal from Erling Haaland.
The story of this match is actually hidden in the encounter between Haaland and Vinicius Junior. The Norwegian star is in the middle of the Golden Boot race with five goals in the tournament, while the Brazilian star is the driving force of the attack with four goals and one assist. Interestingly, Norway has never lost to Brazil in their four previous encounters, with two wins and two draws, including the unforgettable 2-1 victory in the 1998 World Cup group stage. But Brazil is struggling with injuries, with Raphinha and Lucas Paqueta unavailable, severely limiting Ancelotti's midfield options.
The odds give Brazil a 53.6% chance of winning and Norway a 22.4% chance, with the remainder going to extra time. Will the experience of the five-time champions prevail, or will Haaland once again be a last-minute hero? The answer will be revealed on the pitch shortly.
The winner will face the winner of the Mexico-England match in Miami in the quarter-finals. Make your prediction now via Gate Polymarket.

#MicronEarningsBeatExpectationsSharesRise
MicronEarningsBeatExpectationsSharesRise – Corrected, Gate TradFi update
Micron just delivered a clean AI memory beat, and the stock responded in real time on Gate TradFi. This update corrects earlier data feed errors that were circulating with inflated 2026 scenario prints ($41.46B revenue / $25.11 EPS / $1,048 share price). Below are Micron's official Q3 FY2025 results, confirmed via SEC filing and Nasdaq / Gate TradFi quotes.
Earnings – Q3 FY2025, reported June 25, 2025
• Revenue: $9.30 billion, up 36.6% year over year, ahead of consensus at $8.83 billion • Adjusted EPS: $1.91, beating Street estimates at $1.57 – $1.71. Beat margin: roughly 20% • GAAP EPS: $1.68, Net income: $1.885 billion • Gross margin: 39%, above prior guidance • DRAM revenue: up 51% year over year, record data center DRAM • HBM revenue: up 50% quarter over quarter, HBM3E ramping at strong yields, HBM4 samples delivered, volume production set for 2026
This marks the fourth straight quarterly beat. Micron has missed only twice in the last five years.
Guidance – Q4 FY2025
• Revenue guidance: $10.7 billion • Adjusted EPS guidance: $2.29 • Gross margin guidance: 41% • Implied year over year earnings growth: roughly 208% at the midpoint
The guide is driven by AI server demand, not PC or mobile restock. Data center is now the structural engine.
Stock price action – Gate TradFi / Nasdaq MU
On Gate TradFi, MU/USDT tracks the Nasdaq NBBO in real time, with crypto settlement and 24/5 access.
At the time of the June 25, 2025 earnings release:
• MU was trading in the low $130s on both Nasdaq and Gate TradFi • Year to date gain: roughly 52% • Post earnings move: shares lifted in extended trading on Gate TradFi, with the AI memory trade reigniting across the chip complex • 52 week context: MU bottomed in the $70 – $90 zone in 2024, rallied through triple digits into 2025 on HBM tightness • Beta: ∼2.1 – 2.8, high volatility, typical for memory cyclicals
For traders on Gate: MU spot stock tokens, CFD, and perpetuals all moved with the print. Liquidity was deep, funding stayed orderly, no forced liquidation cascade.
Why the beat was real
1. HBM is sold out through 2025, with 2026 allocations already being negotiated. Micron is qualified on three major AI accelerator platforms, with a fourth in progress 2. DRAM mix shift: DDR5 and LPDDR5X drove blended ASPs higher, with bit shipments up double digits 3. NAND is stabilizing. Enterprise SSD demand is recovering, inventory digestion is ending, pricing is no longer a drag on gross margin 4. Customer pre funding is changing the cycle. Hyperscalers are committing capital to lock in memory supply, reducing Micron capex risk and smoothing volatility
The $200 billion US investment plan
Micron reiterated its 20 year US manufacturing and R&D plan: $150 billion in leading edge fabs, $50 billion in R&D, focused on Idaho and New York. This secures US based HBM and DRAM leadership, tied to CHIPS Act incentives and AI sovereignty demand.
Valuation and trading levels – Gate TradFi
• Earnings power: $1.91 quarterly EPS, with $2.29 guided for Q4, a run rate that was unthinkable 18 months ago during the memory downturn • Technical levels on Gate MU/USDT: support at the pre earnings consolidation base near $120 – $125, breakout trigger on a sustained close above $135 – $140 opening a move toward $150+ • Risk level: a close back below $115 would signal a failed breakout and a return to range trade • Key fundamentals to track: HBM bit growth, DRAM ASPs, gross margin progression toward the low to mid 40s, inventory turns
The bear case remains cyclicality. Memory is still cyclical, beta is above 2.0, a 10% Nasdaq pullback can mean a 20%+ drawdown in MU. If AI capex pauses in 2026, pricing can roll fast.
The bull case is structural. HBM content per GPU is rising 3x generation over generation, supply is constrained by advanced packaging, and Micron now holds a solid share in HBM3E with HBM4 sampling. That is a fundamentally different margin mix than the commodity DRAM cycles of 2018 and 2022.
Bottom line – corrected
Micron Q3 FY2025: Revenue $9.30B, EPS $1.91, Gross margin 39%. Beat on all counts.
Q4 guide: Revenue $10.7B, EPS $2.29, Gross margin 41%.
HBM +50% QoQ. $200B US fab plan reiterated.
MU, trading on Gate TradFi in line with Nasdaq, reacted higher after hours, with shares up roughly 52% year to date heading into the print.
This was not a pull forward quarter. This was AI memory demand showing up in real dollars, with pricing power, with margin expansion, with customer prepayments.
The AI trade did not end. It moved into memory. On Gate TradFi, MU remains the purest liquid way to own it, with spot stock tokens, CFD, and perps, all settled in USDT, 24/5.

Ethereum Foundation trims the fat, ETH holds the linet
The EF just pushed a lean reset, and the chart is starting to reflect it. Fewer silos, tighter focus on core protocol, L1 scaling, and ZK tooling, with a clear treasury policy aimed at long term runway. Less overhead, more ship cycles. For ETH holders, that is exactly the signal that was missing.
Price action on Gate, ETH/USDT Spot:
• Last: $1,657.01, -0.88% • Perp: $1,656.01, -0.97% • 24h range: $1,552.72 – $1,692.40 • 24h Vol: 284.64K ETH • Turnover: $461.53M
The washout to $1,552.72 flushed weak longs, then ETH reclaimed the short term stack in one strong leg:
MA5 $1,642.20
MA10 $1,630.92
MA30 $1,638.03
Price is back above all three, with $1,657 holding as a pivot. The recent swing high at $1,779.72 is the next test. Break that, and the path opens toward $1,800 – $1,802.
On chain sentiment is washed out. The Avg. Entry shown on Gate at $4,289.10 tells the story, most spot holders are deep red, a classic capitulation setup when paired with a core level hold.
What the EF restructure changes
• leaner core teams, faster spec to ship loops • clear funding rails for L1 scaling and ZK clients • less grant sprawl, more milestone based payouts • better treasury transparency, less market overhang risk
For traders
• Support: $1,600 – $1,552, the June 24 wick low • Invalidation: daily close below $1,550 • Trigger: reclaim $1,692, then $1,779 • Risk/reward is clean here, stops are tight, upside is open if ETH holds the MA cluster at $1,630 – $1,642
The Foundation is cutting weight so the protocol can run faster. ETH just defended a key low on heavy volume, reclaimed trend MAs, and is coiling under $1,700.
