💹 Sui Pops Above $3.85 | 🍏 Apple Turns Accessibility to 11 | 🖥️ Computex Gears Up for an AI GPU Blitz

Traders are balancing a sugar rush of AI revenue forecasts against the hangover of looming tariffs. Mega-caps led by Nvidia and Microsoft kept the S&P 500 in the green last week, while cyclicals lagged. Bond yields softened after the Fed minutes hinted at “data-dependency” (code for “🤷”). Keep an eye on Wednesday’s PCE print—another hot core read could yank the 10-year back toward 4.6 %. Meanwhile, IPO chatter is stirring again; if you see Instacart 2.0 filings, you’ll know risk-on fever is back. Dollar remains king; yen bulls, maybe take a staycation.

Sui Finds Its Sea Legs Above $3.75

TL;DR: Layer-1 up-and-comer Sui bounced off $3.75 overnight and now flirts with $3.85, its best level in two weeks. Analysts credit rising DeFi TVL on the network and chatter about a coming U.S. SUI ETF for the pop. Momentum traders love the higher-low structure, but on-chain data shows long-term wallets still sitting tight. If bulls clear $4, technicians eyeball $4.40 next.

Bitcoin Moon Math Hits $250K

TL;DR: Trader-podcaster Scott Melker says a $250 K BTC by year-end is “totally possible,” pointing to ETF inflows, falling volatility and a shrinking miner sell-wall. He notes that every previous post-halving cycle produced at least a 4× top from the pre-halving high—implying six figures is table stakes. Skeptics counter that macro tailwinds (and the Fed) still matter. But with sovereign funds nibbling spot ETFs, Melker argues the demand side finally overwhelms the hodler supply squeeze.

AGNT Memecoin Bets on a 30,000 % Plot Twist

TL;DR: Fresh off a marketing blitz, AI-themed token AGNT claims it can out-meme SHIB and PEPE with a predicted 30,000 % rally—and yes, that number has four zeros. Backers hype an “autonomous agent network” that supposedly trades, posts and even launches new coins on its own. Critics warn the project’s thin GitHub and hefty marketing budget smell like déjà-vu doge. Still, presale wallets keep filling, proving fear of missing out is stronger than the fear of math.

TL;DR: CATL’s chair Zeng Yuqun predicts electric semis will grab 50 % of China’s heavy-truck market by 2028—up from today’s 10 %. A new 60 GWh plant in Shandong kicks the plan into gear, while local officials dangle a ¥100 billion ($14 billion) battery cluster. Diesel-refiners just felt a disturbance in the Force.

Apple Turns Accessibility to 11

TL;DR: Ahead of WWDC25, Cupertino teases App-Store “nutrition labels” for accessibility, a Mac-friendly Magnifier, and live caption tag-teams between Watch and iPhone. Apple also adds Nemeth Braille—and yes, even Vision Pro gets zoom love. Why did the Mac wear glasses? It lost its Command-vision.

Musk Eases Off DOGE—but the Fallout Lingers

Retro Reality Check: Sierra Classics Re-Played

TL;DR: Ars Technica’s nostalgia trip fires up King’s Quest and Space Quest on modern rigs. Verdict: the puzzles charm, the pixel-hunt pain is real, and you’ll save early — and often. Yet the storytelling DNA powering today’s indie point-and-click titles traces straight back to Sierra’s 8-bit roots.
