GBP/USD Reaches High Since the Beginning of the Year

Today, the British pound has updated its maximum since the beginning of the year. Here are the factors that contributed to this:

→ weakness of the US dollar due to the threat of default. The FT relays Yellen's words that the US Treasury Department's ability to bypass the default is running out;

→ the US dollar's weakness due to the banking crisis. According to media reports, 722 US banks have unrealized losses of more than 50% of capital;

→ the upcoming meeting of the Bank of England (Thursday, at 14:00 GMT+3). A rate increase is expected, which may not be the last.

Ripple: News, Token Price Analysis

At the Fintech Summit in Dubai, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed the amount that Ripple has spent to defend itself in a legal dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He said:

“With the SEC, [...] by the time all’s said and done, we will have spent $200 million defending ourselves against a lawsuit, which from its very beginning, people were like, well, this doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

According to Brad, attempts to regulate cryptocurrencies in the US have come to a standstill, and therefore Ripple is considering expanding in Dubai, where laws are loyal to cryptocurrencies.

On March 9, we assumed that the price of Ripple could show strong dynamics amid expectations of a resolution of the conflict with the SEC — and yes, on March 29, the price of the XRP token in USD set a maximum since the beginning of the year. However, the conflict remained unresolved, and the bitcoin market is showing signs of weakness around the psychological USD 30k mark.

Crude Oil Analysis: Crude Oil Running on Empty

The price movements affecting crude oil have been fascinating over the past year and a half.

During the period in which many Western governments imposed lockdowns on their population, oil was trading at relatively high prices because of logistical and supply chain difficulties created by enforced stay-at-home orders, whilst nations in Asia such as India, Thailand and Japan continued as normal and required as much of the thick black stuff as possible to keep the wheels of industry turning.

Once the folly of lockdowns had tested the patience of most of the Western world and the powers that be could no longer carry them out, everything suddenly went back to normal, but supply chain disruptions continued as the 'work from home' phenomenon was difficult to curtail.

Prices remained relatively high. However, in the early months of 2022, many of the same countries that imposed lockdowns began to band together to enforce trade sanctions on the Russian Federation and its industry.

One of the largest industries in that particular country is oil extraction and refinement and the production of oil-based energy products.

Indeed, Russia is an OPEC+ nation and one of the largest producers and exporters of petrochemical products in the world.

These sanctions meant that Russian oil companies could not access their bank accounts in which settlement for oil supply is made; hence many European customers had to begin to settle the supply of oil by Russian companies by paying in Rubles into a bank account in Moscow or face having their supply curtailed.

This caused a rise in the price of crude oil and much of Europe to face an energy price crisis in which the cost of heating homes or running vehicles became astronomical.

Today, things are somewhat different. The price of crude oil is, compared to a year ago, on the floor.

In fact, it is very low compared to even one month ago, and over the five-day moving average until the end of trading on May 12, it is down considerably.

On May 2, we witnessed the lowest value of crude oil in over a year, and on May 12, the second lowest since May 2.

E-mini S&P 500: What the Decline in Volatility Means

The daily E-mini S&P 500 chart shows that the ATR indicator (14) is in the 2023 lows, dropping below the value of 40.

What can low values of the ATR indicator mean, indicating a decrease in volatility?

1→ Remember the proverb “Sell in May and Go Away”, implying that the stock market is usually inactive starting from May. Are traders already on vacation after the main part of the reporting season? It is unlikely that the solution to the problem with the US public debt lies ahead. Already today, Tuesday, President Biden held talks with representatives of Congress on this matter.

2→ An important trend is brewing in the E-mini S&P 500 futures market. Notice the low ATR values at the end of 2021, followed by a massive decline. The market periodically changes its state: from flat (when reversal strategies work) → to trend (when breakout strategies work) → and so on ad infinitum.

On the upside, the first major resistance is forming near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the 1.2266 swing high to the 0.9535 low at 1.1220.

The next major resistance on the EUR/USD chart is near the 1.1620 level, above which the pair might revisit the 1.2260 resistance zone if the weekly RSI stays above 50.

Conversely, if EUR/USD fails to climb higher above the 1.1220 resistance, it could correct gains. Immediate support is near the 1.0820 level. The first major support is near the 1.0500 level, below which the pair could decline toward 1.0000.

Strengthening US Dollar Creates Pressure on Bitcoin and Other Assets

On Wednesday morning, the dollar index exceeded the high of April. The two following factors contributed to the strengthening of the USD:

→ Growing drama with public debt. Yesterday it became known that President Joe Biden and a senior Republican in Congress, Kevin McCarthy, are close to an agreement to raise the US national debt ceiling, but the decision has not yet been made. Goldman Sachs expects the US Treasury to run out June 8-13. And JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citigroup Inc executives say the damage to US business and the economy will begin long before a technical default. Investors see cash as a safe haven in case of default.

→ Strong retail sales data released yesterday. Core Retail Sales was +0.4%, while the values for the previous two months were negative.

The strengthening US dollar led to a fall in the exchange rate against the USD, to a decrease in the price of gold, as well as bitcoin.
