Bitcoin’s unspent transaction output (UTXO) profit-and-loss ratio has fallen to its lowest level since the current bear market began, a move that CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said signals the market is entering a broader capitulation phase. According to Foresight News, Darkfost said this is the first time the indicator has issued such a signal during the current correction. Darkfost said the number of UTXOs being sold at a loss has reached a notable level, which historically has often aligned with bear-market bottom regions and has offered longer-term investors a potentially favorable allocation window. He added that the last time the metric dropped to a similar level was in mid-2023, when Bitcoin’s price briefly fell to about $26,000. He also said long-term holders’ spent output profit ratio (SOPR) is gradually moving into negative territory, indicating long-term holders may be entering a capitulation phase. Darkfost attributed the current correction mainly to short-term holders transferring large amounts of Bitcoin to exchanges. Separately, on-chain analytics firm Swissblock said Bitcoin has largely completed the first phase of its decline and is now in a bottom-building phase, with prices trending more stable but market momentum still weak. Risk-off sentiment also increased after the United States carried out another weekend airstrike on Iranian targets. Bitcoin briefly fell to $59,800 before rebounding to around $60,100.

A GMAC survey of corporate recruiters found that one-third of employers said they are using AI to replace entry-level positions. According to Odaily, the survey polled more than 600 recruiters worldwide, with over half recruiting for Fortune 100 or Fortune 500 companies. The data showed technology roles face the highest risk, with 40% of employers in the sector saying AI is replacing entry-level jobs, followed by manufacturing. The report also said the median starting salary expected for MBA graduates is projected to fall to $120,000 this year from $125,000 in 2025. Despite changes in the hiring market, employers reported continued strong demand for graduates with communication, problem-solving, and adaptability skills, alongside AI proficiency and technical capabilities.

PA News reported that next week brings a "data tsunami" for markets, with the US June nonfarm payrolls report moved up to Thursday due to the July 4 Independence Day holiday compressing the trading week. The confluence of month-end, quarter-end, and half-year-end institutional rebalancing creates heightened risk of sudden liquidity dislocations and systematic volatility spikes. The macro backdrop has shifted: oil prices have fallen from about $100 a barrel a month ago to around $70 as the Middle East ceasefire holds, while the S&P 500 is up over 7% year-to-date but has struggled in June. Gold experienced another week of violent swings — dip-buying and safe-haven demand initially gave way to a sell-off driven by stronger-than-expected US economic data, stubborn inflation, a firmer dollar, and rising Fed rate-hike expectations, pushing prices back toward $4,000 before a last-minute rally recovered to the $4,100 edge.Next week's key events include Richmond Fed President Barkin speaking Monday; US JOLTs job openings and consumer confidence Tuesday; eurozone CPI prelims and manufacturing PMIs, US ADP employment, ISM manufacturing PMI, and a panel featuring Fed Chair Wash, ECB President Lagarde, BOE Governor Bailey, and BOC Governor Macklem at the ECB Forum on Wednesday; and the headline US nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rate, weekly jobless claims, and average hourly earnings on Thursday. Friday brings eurozone and UK services PMI finals, a Lagarde speech, and Bailey on fiscal-monetary policy coordination.
