On June 11, US stocks experienced a brief rally at the beginning of June but have since declined, with the S&P 500 index falling nearly 5% since reaching a high of 7620 on the 2nd. Amid ongoing market corrections, investors are beginning to waver in their belief in the 'eternal bull market' of US stocks. In light of this, here are the analyst perspectives on the June market compiled by BlockBeats: The well-known research program Foundation for the Study of Cycles (FSC) pointed out in its latest podcast that as of around June 8, 2026, several medium to short-term cycles of major US stock indices are highly synchronized, forming a top cluster. We are currently in a significant top alignment window, indicating that starting from June, there will be downward pressure from late summer to autumn (until October-November), particularly in the technology and semiconductor sectors, which are showing the strongest synchronization. There is also a technical divergence in the Cyclic RSI, leading to an overall recommendation to remain cautious in the short term, as there may be fluctuations or corrections; however, the financial sector is one of the few that still maintains a bullish cycle. Morgan Stanley published a mid-term market report in mid-May, stating that driven by strong earnings growth, the US stock market is expected to lead global markets upward, with the S&P 500 index likely to rise by 12% over the next 12 months. However, the report also cautioned that as companies raise more debt for artificial intelligence expenditures, the increased supply in the corporate bond market may put pressure on credit performance. At the same time, expectations of slowing inflation and declining US interest rates will put pressure on the dollar in the coming months, but recovery may begin in 2027. Fidelity's research noted that recent geopolitical conflicts, rising oil prices, and hotter-than-expected inflation data have led to rising yields, triggering a pullback in technology stocks and indices. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have seen significant declines, with the semiconductor and AI-related sectors under pressure. The VIX volatility index has risen, and considering the historical performance of US stocks in June has been lackluster, the current situation can still be viewed as normal profit-taking or seasonal adjustment. Notable US stock influencer Herman Jin continues to warn about the low PE bubble risk in the semiconductor sector during the AI bull market. He cautioned that the current market's optimistic pricing of model revenues matching capital expenditures is unrealistic, and short-term diversified models may erode growth expectations, ultimately reshaping the industry through cost pressures and exacerbating wealth concentration.

BlockBeats News, June 11th - Jiang Zhuo'er, founder of Lebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), announced that after buying back on June 5th, he sold 50% of his spot ETH at $1629. The reason was that "Trump has run out of options and will launch a new round of attacks on Iran's infrastructure." The US-Iran conflict is expected to escalate further. Earlier, Jiang Zhuo'er had bought back all his ETH positions at $1645 during the market crash on June 5th.

According to Pulse Check Beating monitoring, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman forecasted in a Slack message to employees sent on Monday that the company will go public within the next year, contingent upon the funding needs for computational infrastructure and the pace of AI recursive self-improvement.Altman noted that if the technology can achieve rapid recursive self-improvement, meaning AI can autonomously develop the next generation of AI, the world and the technological landscape may change in unexpected ways, making it more advantageous to remain a private company. However, on the other hand, the significant funding required by OpenAI for purchasing computing resources and constructing infrastructure may accelerate the IPO process. The company is currently in negotiations to lease a large data center in Ohio, needing to raise several hundred billion dollars for NVIDIA chips and rent.Running parallel to the IPO plans, OpenAI is set to release a brand-new AI model, codenamed 5.6, later this month. Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki stated in an internal memo that the new model will bring significant improvements compared to the current flagship model, GPT-5.5.
