Bitcoin consolidates before a new hike

The cryptocurrency market has corrected about 1.3% to $2.9 trillion from Wednesday's peak but has been steadily adding over 8.5% over the past seven days. The market is bouncing off the long-term key level of $2.5 trillion, which previously acted as a significant area of resistance. Capitalisation has surpassed the recent peak, marking the breakdown of the downward resistance of the last three months. This is an important signal of the market's willingness to move further upwards.

Bitcoin was climbing towards the $94,000 area during the week, more than 20k above the low point at the start of April. Reaching the recent highs aligned perfectly with the 161.8% Fibonacci extension from the initial bounce, fitting neatly into the pattern.

US Indices: Already Not Extreme Fear

Financial markets are gradually pulling back from the shocks of recent weeks, including the tariff clash and attempts on the Fed's independence. While these stories promise to return more than once in sight, market participants are gradually realising that the point of maximum uncertainty is over.

Sentiment in the stock markets has moved into ‘fear’ territory, with the Fear and Greed Index at 27. This is 24 points above the lows of 8 April and fits the typical recovery pattern after a bottom.

Gold: volatility at the top

Gold's 5% rally in the first 30 hours of the trading week, and touching the important round level of $3500, was followed by a steep fall to $3260 in the next 30 hours. After that, the price stabilised at $3340, close to the highs of the previous week.

Signs of a ‘head and shoulders’ pattern are forming on the charts. In case of a new decline under $3300, we may witness the acceleration of profit-taking. It may be a selloff after a dizzying rally, with the potential to go below $3000, mirroring early April’s growth. The long-term technical picture points to continued overheating and elevated correction potential.

Dollar: Set to Bounce Back

The U.S. currency started the week by hitting three-year lows against a basket of key currencies, but soon closed the gap on DXY, rising from 97.7 to 99.7. However, the upward trend has not yet developed. Unresolved trade disputes between the US and China continue to undermine the US currency's position, creating impulses for a simultaneous sell-off in USD, equities and bonds.

We saw positive traction when markets received assurances that Trump would not fire Powell. But we also continue to note the Fed's rather hawkish rhetoric. Open Market Committee members are openly saying they will not rush to cut rates and are wary of the impact of tariffs on inflation. That said, interest rate futures give a more than 50% chance of four. That's a marked shift from 2-3 cuts a month earlier, which underlies the current dollar weakness. It's a worrying bet that Powell will have to pull the economy out of recession at the end of the year.
