The Optimal “AI Bubble Trade”: Going Long on Both “Pride” and “Prejudice”

Bank of America posits that the optimal strategy amid the AI bubble is to simultaneously go long on "arrogance" (AI technology stocks) and "prejudice" (neglected, underperforming assets shunned by the market), while shorting AI-related bonds. Although Bank of America’s Bull & Bear Indicator is in extreme territory, capital is flowing into gold and commodities, with private client equity allocations hitting record highs.

Express News | Analysis: Bitcoin's apparent demand has improved significantly, but structural accumulation is insufficient to fully absorb new supply.

On August 15, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that Bitcoin's apparent demand has improved significantly but remains negative, currently standing at -32,000 BTC. When Bitcoin entered its current consolidation range in early June, estimated demand was -272,000 BTC. This represents a positive shift, though it is not yet strong enough. Similar patterns were observed in February and May 2026, after which demand weakened again. This may also be related to a decline in average mining output, as the hashrate has retreated, implying lower production. Therefore, while the current positive momentum is not yet sufficiently robust, this trend warrants close monitoring.
