Soaring Treasury yields and a strengthening dollar have triggered a significant deleveraging event in crypto, with Bitcoin falling below $85,000 and over 124,000 traders liquidated. This macro liquidity squeeze is dragging down risk assets broadly, forcing a repricing of speculative growth and digital assets. The move signals that bond market dynamics are once again the dominant force压制ing equity valuations, particularly for high-multiple names. A divergence is emerging between AI hardware adoption and market sentiment. Microsoft's launch of the AI-capable Surface Laptop Ultra and Meta's expansion of Muse to iPad demonstrate strong product momentum. However, this is being offset by a broader tech selloff affecting leveraged AI infrastructure plays like CoreWeave and rate-sensitive solar stocks like Enphase and SolarEdge. The market is currently prioritizing macro liquidity constraints over near-term AI product catalysts.
