SpaceX is expected to publicly file for its IPO in late May and price its shares in the week of June 15. If it achieves its fundraising target of up to approximately $75 billion, it will become the largest IPO in history. Furthermore, sources familiar with the matter say that SpaceX has moved up the originally scheduled vesting date for employee stock grants, which could take effect as early as next week. This early vesting is expected to help alleviate employee concerns about the number of shares available for sale at the time of the company's IPO. SpaceX has already notified employees that the vesting date (the time when shares granted through stock options can be sold) will be moved forward from the originally planned May to April.

Despite Bitcoin's rise to $76,300 this week, market sentiment remains subdued, with the Fear & Greed Index still hovering around 21, in the "extreme fear" range, indicating a clear divergence between price and sentiment. Institutional views suggest this rally is more of a "valuation correction" than a trend reversal. QCP Capital calls it a "mitigation rally," noting that macroeconomic pressures from inflation, energy, and policy have not fully subsided. Glassnode points out that Bitcoin is still about 5% below the key resistance level of approximately $78,100, the "real market average," suggesting limited upside potential. Funding structures are also showing divergence. While spot demand and ETF inflows have improved somewhat, profit-taking has increased, institutional participation remains cautious, and the derivatives market continues to favor downward hedging. Exchange data also shows that demand is primarily driven by offshore and retail funds, rather than US institutional dominance. Analysts suggest that around $75,000 has become a key support/test level. If subsequent buying fails to sustain, the price may fall back to the $70,000 to $71,000 range. On the macro front, US stocks continued to hit new highs, and oil prices remained high but did not surge further, leading to a recovery in market risk appetite, but uncertainty remains. Market focus is shifting to the Federal Reserve's policy path, and the overall environment continues to constrain crypto assets. In summary, while Bitcoin is currently maintaining its rebound, it is fluctuating near resistance levels, the market tone remains cautious, and a unified bullish trend has not yet formed.
