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.

The crypto market has yet to satisfy sellers

The crypto market capitalisation rose to $2.64T in the early hours of Monday but quickly retreated to the $2.60T level that has held steady over the past five days. Bears are aggressively defending the level from which the active sell-off began in February and where local highs were also seen earlier in April. Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency market has gained 2.8%, with Zcash (+15%), Algorand (+12%) and Cosmos (+9%) leading the way, while Trump (-10%), Theta Network (-2.5%) and Polkadot (-2.3%) lagged.

The sentiment index has risen to 47, entering neutral territory and reaching its highest level since the second half of January. Since last August, the indicator has spent no more than a few consecutive days above 50, the first sign of a bear market. In the short term, approaching this level increases the risk of a fresh wave of selling. But don’t rush to side with the sellers until the situation becomes clearer, as a bear market does not last forever.

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Negative 📉

Negative sentiment is prevailing in the US stock market pre-market, with declines dominating among the largest companies and signalling a cautious investor mood and a local flight from risk.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 1.02%, while Apple (AAPL) is down 1.28% and Microsoft (MSFT) is down 0.47%.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 0.35%.

In the Consumer Staples sector, Procter & Gamble (PG) is down 0.32%, while Philip Morris (PM) is down 0.25%.

The predominance of declines among mega-caps is pushing the market into risk-off mode, increasing interest in defensive dollar assets and Treasuries. In the short term, this creates moderate support for the dollar, limiting the scope for its depreciation.

⚠️ Japan — BOJ Press Conference at 06:30 GMT

Bitcoin and Solana bears are attempting to reverse the trend

The crypto market capitalisation has fallen by 1.2% to $2.56 trillion over the past 24 hours, marking a second consecutive day of decline. This time, the pressure is linked to the broader strengthening of the US dollar, which is raising the benchmark higher. Among the top gainers are Tezos (+7.9%), Cosmos (+1.7%) and Doge (+1.6%). Zcash (-5.2%), Stellar (-2.3%) and Solana (-2%) are falling at an accelerating pace. The sentiment index has dropped from 47 to 33 due to deteriorating sentiment.

Bitcoin has fallen to $76.6K, where it last traded a week ago. Since late March, BTC’s price has been in a clear upward range, but we are now seeing an attempt to break through its lower boundary, potentially reversing or correcting the trend. A break of the trend will occur if prices fall below $75K, while a reversal to the upside from higher levels would merely be a correction within the uptrend. In this case, we should expect a swift retest of $80K and a likely acceleration of the rally should this resistance be broken.
