According to @StockMKTNewz, heads of equity trading at Citi and JPMorgan have expressed a bullish outlook for the next few weeks on small caps, technology hardware, and homebuilders, sectors that have recently lagged behind the S&P 500 Index (source: Bloomberg via StockMKTNewz, May 14, 2025). This sector rotation could drive increased volatility and liquidity in related equities, which may impact crypto markets as investors rebalance portfolios and seek higher returns. Traders should monitor capital flows from traditional equities into digital assets, as risk-on sentiment in small caps and tech hardware has historically correlated with bullish momentum in leading cryptocurrencies.

According to Eleanor Terrett, as reported by Leo M. Schwartz at Fortune Magazine, stablecoin issuer Circle is planning its Initial Public Offering (IPO) for April, with JPMorgan and Citi serving as underwriters. This development is crucial for traders as the IPO could significantly impact the valuation and trading volume of Circle's stablecoin products.
