The greenback is mixed on Friday and remains unsettled in general despite a rise in the US Treasury yields.

The EURUSD pair gained decently last week, with the euro received support both from dollar weakness and a broad rebound in risk appetite.

The greenback is back on the defensive after yesterday’s recovery. This week, the US currency came under an intense pressure amid Trump’s criticism, and the bulls still fail to regain control as traders

The dollar has stabilized after a massive sell-off fuelled by recent Trump’s attack on the Fed policy and comments by the central bank official Kaplan

Crude oil prices continue to grind higher on Thursday, with Brent has settled around the $79 figure after a brief jump to $79.30 earlier in the day.

Gold prices continue to recover on Tuesday, holding steady close to nearly two-week highs around $1,214.

Crude oil prices enjoyed an impressive rally yesterday, with Brent rose most in two month. The price has edged above the $75 figure, but struggles to stay above this level on Thursday.

Crude oil prices are making shallow recovery attempts on Wednesday, after yesterday’s decline to lows marginally above the $72 figure. The bulls refrain from more aggressive actions as market concerns over geopolitics keep increasing, fuelling fears of a decline in global oil demand.

Over the last month, BTCUSD is trading within the $8,000-10,000 range. Since May 5, when the price bumped into the psychological resistance of $10,000, the coin is mostly nursing losses. Bitcoin crashed to almost $8,000 overnight and tries to regain ground on Thursday, but the pair obviously lacks the bullish impetus

BTCUSD tried to stage a recovery over the weekend, but failed to confirm a break above the 100-DMA around $8,800 and resumed the bearish move on Tuesday. Today, the price has lost around 6% already, and the sell-off could intensify, should the coin lose the key $8,000 mark.

The cryptocurrency market continues to suffer losses on Friday, with Bitcoin is down almost 4% on the day. The coin failed to keep above the key $9,000 threshold and slipped to April 26 lows at $8,676. Should this level give up, we may see a decline towards $8,400 and then to the $8,000 area.  

BTCUSD refreshed early-March highs over the weekend, but then corrected rather sharply and continues to retreat on Monday.
