The crypto has pulled back, but has kept its bullish sentiment

The crypto market cap dropped by 1.65% over the past 24 hours to $2.41 trillion, with most actively traded coins also declining. NEAR (+1.1%), Tron (+0.3%), and Bitcoin Cash (−0.5%) are performing relatively better than the market. The day’s underperformers include Algorand (−11.4%), Aptos (−6.1%), and Polkadot (−6.1%).

Bitcoin made a fresh attempt to breach $73K on Wednesday but once again encountered a strengthening sell-off, retreating to $71K by the start of active European trading. BTC remains above the 50-day moving average, which has already turned upwards, reinforcing the short-term bullish sentiment. However, we will need to wait for the price to rise above $75K before we can speak of the market entering an active bullish phase.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Negative 📉

Major technology and financial stocks are mostly in the red, indicating investor caution and a shift in demand toward safe-havens.

In the Financials sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is down 0.72%, while Bank of America (BAC) is down 0.75%.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.47%, while Intel (INTC) is down 2.29%.

In the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is down 0.60%, while in the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 1.79%.

The prevailing pressure on the largest large-cap companies reflects risk aversion within the US market, creating conditions for short-term dollar support through increased demand for Treasuries and other dollar-denominated safe-haven assets.

⚠️ China — Consumer Price Index at 03:00 GMT

✔️ Prev: 1.3%

🕒 Exp: 1.2%

🎯 Fact.: 1.0% 📉

Bitcoin is steadily reaching new local highs

The crypto market capitalisation has risen by 1.19% over the past 24 hours to $2.45 trillion. The crypto market has weathered a short-term consolidation phase following a growth surge quite successfully, consolidating above its 50-day MA, which is one of the first signs of a reversal in the medium-term trend towards a bullish tone. Today’s top performers include Dash (+17.4%), Zcash (+16.6%) and Theta Network (+11%). The underperformers were VeChain (−1.2%), Hedera (−1%) and OFFICIAL TRUMP (−0.9%).

Bitcoin is cautiously testing new local highs, briefly rising above $73K on Thursday, although it is currently trading just below $72K. These fluctuations around local highs and the cautious renewal of them appear to mark a new phase following a prolonged period of hovering near the bottom and a cautious upward trend since late March. However, the market still needs to pass an important test by breaking out of the 61.8% retracement of the decline seen at the start of the year. It cannot be ruled out that the bears are simply giving the market more room to move below their key levels near $75K.

What will move markets next week

The markets’ attention will, of course, be focused on the US-Iran talks. Donald Trump claims a total victory for the Americans and is demanding a windfall in the form of substantial sums of money. This is likely to be in return for allowing tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz. For the time being, Iran is the one receiving this payment. Is Tehran prepared to share? For now, it is putting forward a 10-point plan for a peace agreement. At the very least, one of them – a non-aggression pact regarding Lebanon – is being violated by Israel.

Among the events on the economic calendar, releases of data on Chinese foreign trade, GDP, retail sales and industrial production are worth noting. Australia will publish employment statistics, which will help clarify the Reserve Bank’s stance. Does it intend to continue the cycle of monetary tightening that began in February and March?

Gold: a nice recovery, but this is already a bear market

Gold has maintained a nice uptrend since the 23 March crash. However, the price spends a lot of time near the lower boundary of the channel and quickly rebounds from its upper boundary. The price is currently near the lower boundary at around $4,750, whilst the upper boundary stands at $5,000, a level we were expecting to see a week earlier.

From a technical analysis perspective, bulls are undoubtedly encouraged by the strong rebound following the 200-day moving average, which was touched at the end of March, after which the upward trend was established. Furthermore, the downward-sloping 50-day moving average is gradually lowering the threshold that buyers must clear to confirm a bullish trend.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Moderately Positive 📈

A moderately positive trend with gains among the largest tech giants and select cyclical companies outweighing isolated sell-offs, creating a risk-on environment with heightened risk appetite.

In the Information Technology sector, Microsoft (MSFT) is up 0.27%.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 0.28%.

In the Financials sector, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is up 0.06%, while JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is down 0.23%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 0.19%.

In the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is down 0.36%.

The broad-based gains among large-cap names point to a risk-on sentiment in US equities. Demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset remains subdued, with the currency's short-term dynamics close to neutral and largely dependent on yield differentials and Fed expectations.

▶️ Pro News Weekly: Stocks Surge While the Dollar Cracks

Welcome to Pro News Weekly!

💵 U.S. dollar weakens as ceasefire optimism and shifting Fed expectations trigger a mass unwind of safe-haven positions, with inflation risks still complicating the outlook.

📊 Stock indices surge on de-escalation hopes and “TACO-driven” rallies, as investors chase upside momentum despite historical warnings tied to oil price spikes.

🪙 Gold faces pressure as central banks reconsider demand, with geopolitical uncertainty clashing against past rate-hike cycles that once crushed prices.

₿ Bitcoin remains range-bound and confused, torn between risk-asset behavior and safe-haven narratives, while ETF inflows and whale positioning send mixed signals.

Will peace talks and stabilizing oil prices fuel a sustained risk rally, or could inflation, policy delays, and fragile geopolitics trigger the next market reversal?
