Contrarian Fade: GPT-6 June Launch at 42¢ Overestimates Speed
GPT-6 by June 2026 surged 19¢ to 42¢ today on momentum and hype — but OpenAI has a history of slipping major release dates, and GPT-5 was itself delayed multiple times. The market is chasing a single day's narrative move with no confirmed release date from OpenAI. At 42¢, you are paying near coin-flip odds for a 3-month specific launch window that historically OpenAI misses. Sell or buy NO here as a contrarian fade of the AI timeline compression narrative.
