🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📈 Pre-market trading in the US stock market is mixed, with a slight upward bias.

In the Financials sector, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is up 0.31%, while Bank of America (BAC) is down 0.18%.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 0.67%, while Apple (AAPL) is up 0.41%.

In the Energy sector, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is up 0.96%, while Chevron (CVX) is up 0.77%.

Overall, a moderate risk-on sentiment prevails: interest in major US stocks is supporting risk demand, so in the short term, the dollar is unlikely to gain significant momentum as a safe-haven asset; its performance remains largely neutral and will depend on incoming macroeconomic and monetary data.

Is it time for gold to go on the offensive?

Gold has withstood the pressure from the Fed’s rate-hiking cycle.

Due to US fiscal problems, the correlation between gold and Treasury yields has broken down.

A pause, not a reversal, for crypto

The crypto market has taken a breather, falling by 3% over the past 24 hours to $2.86T, following a 15% rally since mid-September and a nearly 40% rise from its mid-August lows. External factors, ranging from a strengthening US dollar to a spike in bond yields and a decline in share prices, triggered a wave of selling in risk assets, leading to active profit-taking in cryptocurrencies. The support zone, which had been in place from November 2025 to February 2026, has now become a resistance level. External factors prevented the cryptocurrency market from quickly returning to the consolidation zone around $3.0T–$3.25T. Among the 40 most liquid coins, there were sharp declines ranging from -0.3% (Tron) to -10.5% (Official Trump, Uniswap), while only Litecoin is 5.5% higher than it was a day ago.

Bitcoin fell below $84K on Wednesday, selling off alongside other risky assets. As with the overall market capitalisation, the leading cryptocurrency encountered resistance near a previously significant support level. However, BTC failed to complete the Fibonacci extension pattern to 161.8% of the impulse that began in mid-August in a single move. Despite the pullback, the ongoing, unfinished nature of the uptrend suggests it may be a temporary pause on the way up. However, it is worth remembering that in 2021, Bitcoin lost over 50% from its peak before reaching new highs. Similarly, today, a decline to $70K may be painful for short-term speculators, but it does not undermine the bullish outlook.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📉 Negative trends are dominating pre-market trading in the US stock market.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is down 1.04%, Intel (INTC) is down 2.88%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is down 0.50%.
In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is down 0.26%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is down 1.08%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is up 0.45%.

In the foreign exchange market, this pre-market configuration reflects a risk-off sentiment within the US. Pressure on mega-cap shares is supporting demand for safe-haven dollar assets and Treasuries, creating conditions for a moderate strengthening of the dollar against a basket of riskier currencies while maintaining interest in it as a safe-haven.

A bull market does not rule out a drop in BTC to $75K

By the end of the day on Thursday, the crypto market had recovered from an intraday dip of 1.5% and returned to Wednesday’s closing level of $2.86T. One might say the market is making tentative attempts to hold onto this level, while the previous decline was merely a short-term profit-taking move following the rally. Judging by the market’s reaction to the news, the bullish turnaround occurred in August, although the market had bounced off its low in early July. In a bull market, particularly in the early stages, there are often quite aggressive corrections. Still, dips attract buyers, and rises driven by positive news tend to be stronger than falls triggered by negative news. Put simply, the market is only at the start of an upward trend that could last a year or two. Notable movements over the past 24 hours include Stellar (+8.4%), Chainlink (+8.2%) and Algorand (+7.8%), while at the other end of the spectrum are Uniswap (−2.1%), The Graph (−1.5%) and Tron (−1.4%).

Bitcoin stabilised at $84K on Friday as active trading began in Europe, having found support the previous day during a dip to $83K, but lacking any significant external impetus to resume the rally. Although the Nasdaq 100 index is near its highs, its strength is being driven by an increasingly narrow group of companies. In fact, this represents a hidden flight from risk assets following the rally in the dollar and government bond yields, which creates the risk of a pullback in BTC to $82K or slightly below. A deeper pullback to $75K, with the 50-day moving average also lying near, could cause considerable turmoil across the entire crypto market, but would effectively keep it within a bullish phase.

🇺🇸 Pre-market trading trends on the US stock market

📈 The US stock market is showing a predominantly positive trend in pre-market trading, driven by gains from the largest technology and consumer companies.

In the Financials sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is up 0.54%, while Bank of America (BAC) is up 0.48%.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.45%, while Broadcom (AVGO) is up 1.32%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 0.30%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is down 0.19%.

The predominance of gains among large-cap stocks is fostering a risk-on sentiment: investor interest is shifting toward equities and corporate risk, demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset appears subdued, and the US currency's performance is likely to remain neutral in the near term without any significant upward momentum.
