Citrini stated that the investors of Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund acknowledge its AI development judgment and long strategy. The fund has risen by about 2200% since its establishment in 2024, but recently experienced a pullback due to the decline in related stocks. If an investor invests $100 million when the fund is established, even if they lose 90% in July, based on a cumulative return of 2200%, their position is still worth approximately $230 million. Citrini expects that after the completion of Situational Awareness fundraising, some short-term hedging may be lifted and new capital will be invested in the market, driving AI stocks to form a temporary bottom.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that the short-term market pressure index for Bitcoin has risen to 16, driven by price volatility rather than increased exchange selling pressure. The pressure index consists of price pressure, capital flow pressure, and leverage pressure, with current price pressure being the main factor. Historical data shows that the index only rises above 50 when there is an increase in liquidity pressure on the exchange.
