While stock market selloff triggered a wave of speculations about the possible stock bubble burst, investors were in no rush to buy safe havens and to dump risky assets.

GBPUSD is the pair of the week, as it appreciated 4th day out of the last five. The market is full of rumors and hopes.

GBP keeps outperforming EUR as the market feels the taste of Brexit deal in the air. There are still some issues related to Irish border, confirmed by UK spokesman James Black.

USD/JPY is on radar as it managed to lose 150 points during the last 3 days, with 100 pips losing on Monday.

The crude oil markets are further supported by the looming US sanctions on Iran that are set to start on November 4.

Brent crude extends its gains on Thursday, with price has refreshed four-year highs marginally below the $82 handle which is the immediate target for bulls now.

Gold price continues its one-month consolidation with few signs of a more robust breakthrough in either direction in the daily charts.

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.

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.
