The crypto market pauses as Bitcoin holds firm

The crypto market capitalisation has fallen by 0.8% over the past 24 hours to $2.6 trillion, driven by pressure on altcoins, while Bitcoin has been pulling the market upwards, a relatively unusual situation. Leading the day’s gains with fairly modest figures were Bitcoin (+0.4%), Hedera (0%) and Aptos (0%). The corrective pullback is more pronounced, with losses of 5% for Dash, 4.9% for Theta and 4.8% for Basic Attention Token.

Sentiment continues to improve rapidly, with the corresponding index rising to 46 — a high not seen in over three months.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Negative 📉

Negative sentiment is prevailing in the US stock market pre-market, with major technology and consumer companies mostly trading lower, indicating a moderate flight from risk.

In the Information Technology sector, Microsoft (MSFT) is down 2.09%, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.08%, while Micron Technology (MU) is down 1.21%.

In the Communication Services sector, Meta Platforms (META) is down 1.19%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Tesla (TSLA) is down 3.17%, while in the Financials sector, Mastercard (MA) is down 0.22%.

The stock market is signalling investor caution: pressure on blue-chip shares is boosting demand for safe-haven dollar assets and government bonds. If current sentiment persists, the dollar may receive short-term support, with its trajectory likely shifting toward moderate appreciation amid reduced risk appetite.

🎯 Fact.: 1.5% 📈

The crypto market is once again awaiting a signal from the stock markets

The cryptocurrency market capitalisation fell by 0.6% over the past 24 hours to $2.59 trillion. Leading the gains are the anonymous Zcash (+9.1%), Theta (+6.2%), and Cosmos (+3.6%). Among the underperformers are Toncoin (−1.8%), despite positive news, as well as the major players Ethereum (−1.5%) and Polkadot (−1.2%). Meanwhile, the US S&P 500 is hovering around 7,100, whilst the Nasdaq 100 is testing new highs at 27,000. It appears that the crypto market is once again waiting for a boost from the stock markets to continue its climb.

Bitcoin continues to consolidate around $78K. Attempts to push prices below $77K have met with confident buying. The leading cryptocurrency remains in an uptrend that began in early April, with fairly active buying on dips, and the price is currently roughly in the middle of this channel, which ranges from $75.6K to $80.5K. If this pace continues, it will take just over two weeks to reach the 200-day moving average, but we expect to see an acceleration in growth soon, along with more intense fluctuations in key indicators of the long-term trend.

S&P 500 & Crude Oil are climbing alongside this week

The US stock market has concluded that the worst of the conflict in the Middle East is behind us. Oil prices have not skyrocketed, and the rise has not triggered a global recession. Hostilities have given way to a ceasefire, and the parties are moving towards a diplomatic settlement of their disputes. So, it is time to put geopolitics aside and focus on fundamentals. Expectations of strong corporate earnings reports and attractive company valuations have catalysed the S&P 500 rally.

At first glance, the surge in the US stock market was driven by the success of a handful of large-cap companies. When the broad stock index hit a new October high, only 11 S&P companies reached 52-week highs. In the 2021 bull market, around 90% of issuers were trading above their 200-day moving averages. Now, only 60% are.

Weekly Recap: Dollar, Crude Oil and S&P500 continues their growth

The US dollar has continued its advance amid a reduced likelihood of de-escalation in the Middle East conflict. The US has ruled out military action and intends to deprive Iran of oil revenues by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. This long-term game risks extending the rally in Brent and WTI. This will deal a blow to the eurozone, which is dependent on energy imports. Under these conditions, Germany has halved its 2026 GDP forecast, from 1% to 0.5%, and the EURUSD pair has retreated.

Rising oil prices are weighing on the euro due to deteriorating trade conditions within the currency bloc. However, for most of April, EURUSD rose as investors bought into rumours of productive talks between the US and Iran. As soon as it became clear that the opposing sides had reached a stalemate, the regional currency began to be sold off on the back of the facts.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Moderately Positive 📈

The US stock market is showing a moderately positive trend in pre-market trading, with major technology and retail companies trading higher, indicating risk-on sentiment and investor interest in equities.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.53%, Micron Technology (MU) is up 2.85%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is up 0.90%.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 0.43%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 1.83%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is down 0.45%.

Demand for US large-cap shares is creating a favourable backdrop for risk assets, limiting flows into safe-haven dollar-denominated instruments. In this scenario, the dollar typically trades without clear upward momentum, remaining sensitive to Fed rhetoric and geopolitical risks.
