Chart alert: Dow Jones (DJIA) under pressure, medium-term uptrend at risk
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is showing signs of technical deterioration after underperforming other major US equity indices throughout the current bull cycle. Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, higher Treasury yields, and a bear-flattening yield curve are tightening financial conditions and weighing on cyclical sectors. Technical indicators, including a breakdown below ascending channel support and bearish RSI divergence, suggest near-term downside risks remain elevated.

Asia open: Middle East tensions drive oil higher as S&P 500 snaps winning streak
Global markets retreated as renewed U.S.-Iran tensions disrupted ceasefire hopes and pushed oil prices higher. The S&P 500 snapped a nine-day winning streak while technology shares came under pressure after Broadcom issued weaker-than-expected AI growth guidance.

Chart alert: Bitcoin (BTC/USD) potential near-term bullish reversal emerging from the sub-$70K plunge
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has suffered a sharp 16% correction after MicroStrategy’s unexpected sale of part of its Bitcoin holdings triggered a breakdown in market sentiment and accelerated ETF outflows.

Alphabet’s surprise US$80 billion capital raise underscored the enormous funding demands of the AI supercycle, while stronger U.S. labour data and rising Eurozone inflation reinforced expectations for tighter monetary policy.

Asia open: US stock futures dipped on conflicting US-Iran news after S&P 500 scaled a historic high
Global stock markets reached new record highs as investors embraced AI-driven growth and improving U.S.-Iran diplomatic prospects. Strong U.S. manufacturing data reinforced confidence in the AI infrastructure boom, while major technology firms such as Nvidia, Dell, and Oracle led gains. However, beneath the surface, consumer savings have fallen to near post-financial-crisis lows and market leadership remains heavily concentrated in a handful of AI-related stocks, raising concerns over long-term
