Record Broadcom Sold, Bitcoin Eyeing 60,000: The Market Now Grades Expectations, Not Facts

The day the beat stopped being enough: Broadcom delivers the strongest quarter in its history — AI revenue at $10.8 billion (+143%), orders past $30 billion — and gets sold because its guidance, up 200%, misses the most aggressive expectations. At the other pole, crypto breaks the floor: Bitcoin at its lowest since February, down to 61,338 overnight, liquidations past $1.1 billion, the fear index at 11 and Cardano at a five-year low. In between, the first real de-escalation: a conditional Israel-Lebanon ceasefire and a 215-208 House vote against the war with Iran — Brent back against the Pretore’s stop. The Pretore flips volatility and gold upward (protection bought back), the Compass shifts to CONTESTED, SpaceX opens its $75 billion fixed-price roadshow. Tomorrow at 8:30 ET, the NFP referees.

Hormuz shut again, TSMC +35%, Anthropic Mythos — the market lives in controlled dissociation

The US-Iran ceasefire lasted less than a single trading session. The IRGC shut Hormuz again, Saudi Arabia lost 600,000 barrels per day, WTI hit $97.87 — yet equity looked the other way. TSMC confirmed AI demand is geopolitics-proof (+35% YoY), Burry sank Palantir, and in Washington Bessent and Powell called an emergency meeting with bank CEOs over Anthropic’s Mythos model. The market is living in controlled dissociation — equity celebrates, crypto screams panic.
