informative: Bitcoin is bouncing today and looks technically strong, with ETF inflows at their highest weekly level of the year (Saxo), though Bitcoin dominance (Bitcoin's share of the total crypto market) has broken higher, meaning altcoins could fall harder in any decline, with little to worry about while Bitcoin holds its key support (a price area where buyers step in to defend against declines). Natural gas is retracing after its rally but stays positive while above its neutral trend line. Gold fell hard yesterday and has steadied slightly today, while silver dropped more and sits near its short term support, driven by rising yields, a firmer dollar and expectations of further Fed hikes (Rio Times, Tickmill). The dollar is at cycle highs. Oil is higher for a second day after Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was rejected (Saxo). The US 10 year yield is near its highest since 2007 and testing an old resistance (a price area where selling pressure tends to build) line, with a break above set to pressure stocks hard (Tickmill). The S&P 500 closed lower yesterday but futures are slightly higher today with the index above its key line. Today brings JOLTS job openings and consumer confidence data, with markets wanting slightly weaker numbers so yields can ease (Investing.com).
