Adobe reversed from support zone
Likely to rise to resistance level 500.00
Adobe recently reversed up from the support zone lying between the support level 460.00, lower daily Bollinger Band and the 61.8% Fibonacci correction of the uptrend from May.
The upward reversal from the support level 460.00 stopped the previous impulse waves 3 and (C).
Given the strength of the support level 460.00, Adobe can be expected to rise further to the next round resistance level 500.00.

The number of operating oil rigs in the US fell by 7 to 499. This is the lowest in 12 weeks and further confirmation that even with relatively favourable oil prices, producers are in no hurry to ramp up production but are looking to keep it flat for the foreseeable future.
This news, published late on Friday, has a small positive impact on quotations, reducing fears of oil overproduction. However, they are hardly decisive.
Production has been at 13.1 million bpd for the past eight weeks, compared to 12.3 million a year earlier and an average of 12.9 million over the past 12 months. And that’s enough to rebuild inventories. According to the latest EIA report, commercial stocks are over 460 million barrels (highest since June 2023), with over 366 million barrels in the strategic reserve (highest since April 2023).

One could be much more successful in attributing the 1% bounce in oil prices on Monday to a rebound from oversold conditions. In the week of the active oil sell-off since 26th April, the WTI price has fallen 7.6% from peak to bottom.
Early last week, the price fell under the 50-day and then the 200-day moving averages. The bulls didn’t even fight back, although since November, touching the 200-day has been accompanied by a rather prolonged tug-of-war.
It may well be that the bulls are only now joining the game in full force, defending the lower boundary of the upward channel formed in December.

We also believe that despite the price pullback, the time for heavy artillery in the form of OPEC+ has not come. All last year and at the start of this one, they interfered with the supply-demand balance when the barrel price fell below the 200-week moving average, which is now at $74.7 for WTI and $78 for Brent, which is about 5% below spot prices.
Thus, if WTI crude oil prices fall below $77, the uptrend will be broken, forcing bulls to focus on supporting the $75 area, a crucial area for the past few years.

The #crypto market cap fell by 1.7% in 24 hours to $2.29 trillion, as Bitcoin lost 1.1% and Ethereum - 3%, but Solana has added 4%. However, the latter is noticeably out of step, with most of the other coins going down.
On Monday, #Bitcoin failed for the second time in a fortnight to break above the 50-day moving average. The price very easily went from $64.5K to $65.5K, where it met with impressive selling volume that pushed the price back to $62.6K by the end of the day.
The positive performance of Asian and European stock exchanges fuels the appetite for Bitcoin. It cannot be ruled out that we will see further attempts to climb above the 50-day MA.

The single currency is trading near $1.076, waiting for further cues and facing serious resistance in its attempt to consolidate above 1.08 on Friday.
On Friday, EURUSD's growth accelerated against the trend of the previous three weeks on negative US labour market data for the dollar. However, the attempts of the bulls in the pair to consolidate above 1.08 failed.
It is easy to understand the sellers of the single currency, as the balance of risks is shifted towards a softer monetary policy in the eurozone compared to the US. ECB officials are cementing expectations of a June cut and fuelling sentiment that further cuts will follow. Friday's US labour market data narrowed the gap, as after it, the odds of a rate cut before September rose to 67% from 46% a week earlier.
And markets are used to playing up changes in US expectations first, only then spreading them to related markets.
Separately, we note that the market finds the euro attractive at current price levels.

Separately, we note that the market finds the euro attractive at current price levels.
Throughout 2023, EURUSD was reversing to the upside, with an approach of 1.05. But last month's dip to 1.06 appeared attractive to cautious buyers.
The local technical picture points to a slight bearish bias as EURUSD is trading below its 200- and 50-day moving averages. Moreover, they are both pointing downward. On the other hand, the bulls have not given up trying to break through this resistance, making attempts on Friday and Monday in addition to accelerating the gains seen last month.
The bull and bear positions in EURUSD are very balanced, and this is a good time to watch what the next move will be. A sharp change, by 1% or so, in either direction could signal the start of a relatively long trend.
In terms of levels, EURUSD overcoming the 1.0850 level opens prospects for a rise to the 1.1050 area with the potential for further upside. On the contrary, a failure under 1.0650 could force buyers to regroup in the 1.05 area and possibly trigger a further downward trend.

The #crypto market has lost 2% of its cap over the last 24 hours to $2.29 trillion. Bitcoin is losing 1.8%, Ethereum - 1.7%. Among the top altcoins, Solana is experiencing the biggest decline of 4%, while BNB has lost the least, just 0.5%.
#Bitcoin is drawing its fourth consecutive declining candle on Wednesday, registering a sequence of lower intraday highs and lows. The previous resistance line is temporarily acting as support.
#Ethereum is back to $3000, having been close to trading range support since late February. If the decline develops, we should pay attention to the dynamics near 2900. The break of this support will cause a drop to $2500-2600 in the main scenario, where the previous consolidation area and the 200-day moving average are located.
According to CoinShares, crypto funds saw outflows of $251M last week after $435M a week earlier. Bitcoin investments were down $284M. Ethereum funds saw net inflows of $30M after seven weeks of outflows.

US indices have been gaining daily since the beginning of May. They have found strength amid relatively weak job reports and quite upbeat quarterly earnings. The S&P500 and Nasdaq100 indices are just 1.5% below the all-time highs set in March.
The market downturn in the first three weeks of April has whetted bargain hunters’ appetite. Investors returned to buying on signs that the economy and labour market were cooling.
The decline in April effectively removed the overbought condition on the equity market, dipping into "fear" territory from the "extreme greed" seen in early March.

The decline in April effectively removed the overbought condition on the equity market, dipping into "fear" territory from the "extreme greed" seen in early March.
We see the return of all three key US indices - Dow Jones, Nasdaq100 and S&P500 - back above their 50-day moving averages as a technically important signal. A weak labour market report last Friday shifted the balance in favour of buyers.
While the Japanese market went out of favour with speculators last month, their attention seems to have shifted to Europe. Almost daily, the FTSE100 index is updating all-time highs, adding 8% to the lows of 19 April. Germany's DAX40 has added 6% over the same time and is just 0.5% below its all-time high. These are indirect but rather important signs of risk appetite in global equity markets, which is also positive for the US market.

The S&P500 corrected in April to 76.4% of the rally from the October lows to the peak in early April. This is not a classic 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, but it is also quite common in strong bull markets.
Confirmation of this bullish scenario would be a rally of the index above 5300 with a renewal of the all-time highs. According to the Fibonacci extension, the next strong correction will only be in the 6000 area in the 6–9-month timeframe. Within this scenario, the bullish targets for the Nasdaq100 will be the territory above 21000.

German industrial production continues to decline. The rate of contraction in March was slightly better than the average forecasts but maintained the downward trend.
The index of industrial production fell by 0.4% in March and by 3.3% y/y, having lost in annual terms for the last ten months.
German industrial production peaked at the end of 2017, and then it was turned down by trade wars, pandemic lockdowns, and the most recent impulse of deglobalisation. Here, you can discern both a cooling of relations with the second-biggest economy and a general slowdown.
Germany's industrial orders index, published a day earlier, fell in March to its lowest level since 2013, barring a sharp dip during the pandemic lockdowns.
Weakness in Germany's industrial sector could bring a rate cut from the ECB closer, softening the Bundesbank's traditionally hawkish bias.

The #crypto market added 2.8% in the last 24 hours to a total cap of $2.34 trillion, returning to the levels of the start of the week. Bitcoin was up 2.7%, #Ethereum +1.8%, with #Solana (+7.3%) and #Toncoin (+13%) shining once again. The capitalisation of the latter ($23.7B) is approaching the level of #XRP ($28.6B). The gap is an impressive 20% but substantially narrowed over the last week as XRP lost 1% while Ton gained 28%.
#Bitcoin has made two attempts since the start of the day on Friday to break the $63.0K level, which doesn't look like a meaningful turning point. Much more interest is focused on the $64.0K area on the upside and $60.0K on the downside.
Trading volumes on crypto exchanges declined for the first time in seven months. According to CCData, the combined volume of spot and derivative cryptocurrency markets fell 43.8% to $6.58 trillion in April, following a record high of $9.12 trillion in March.
