On March 30, Atsushi Mimura, Japans top foreign exchange official, issued his strongest warning to speculators to date, stating that if current market conditions persist, authorities may need to take decisive intervention measures in the foreign exchange market. "We are increasingly aware that speculative activity is not only heating up in the crude oil futures market, but is also rapidly spreading in the foreign exchange market," Mimura said at a press conference on Monday. He emphasized, "If this trend continues, we believe that swift and decisive action may be imminent." Mimuras remarks came after the yen fell below the 160-dollar mark last week—the critical level at which the Japanese government plans to implement foreign exchange intervention in 2024. He added, "We are fully prepared to respond, with a broad and comprehensive monitoring scope," implying that the Japanese government is not only closely monitoring foreign exchange market movements but also simultaneously paying attention to related markets such as crude oil futures.A chart summarizing the overnight price movements of international spot platinum and palladium.US President Trump: (Regarding Russian oil tankers heading to Cuba) Theres no problem with that, whether theyre Russian or from another country.US President Trump: (Regarding the Russian oil tanker bound for Cuba) We dont mind if someone loads a cargo onto it.Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda: If short-term interest rates are not adjusted appropriately, leading to excessive inflation, there is also a risk of excessive adjustment in long-term interest rates.

On Thursday, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) joined the larger market in the green. Despite Fed Chair Powell's hawkish speech on Wednesday, US economic indicators fell short of forecasts, alleviating Fed concern. The technical indications continue to be optimistic, indicating rising price movements. The price of Ethereum (ETH) increased by 0.86 percent on Thursday. ETH finished the day at $1,531, partially correcting a 3.80% drop from Wednesday.

 

Due to a rocky start to the day, ETH fell to a low of $1,515 early on. Avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) at $1,475, ETH climbed to a morning high of $1,559. However, after falling short of the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $1,593, ETH plummeted further below $1,530 before US economic indicators provided support.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed by 0.29% on Thursday. BTC concluded the day at $20,223, partially reversing a loss of 1.63% from Wednesday. Notably, BTC broke a four-day losing trend by avoiding sub-$20,000 territory for the ninth consecutive day.

 

BTC reached a mid-morning high of $20,404 after a strong start to the day. BTC plummeted to a midday low of $20,052 after failing to surpass the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $20,629 during the trading session. Despite avoiding the First Major Support Level (S1) at $19,900, BTC retested $20,356 before retreating.

 

US economic figures supported cryptocurrency prices, with the crucial ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI below expectations.

 

The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI decreased from 56.7 to 54.4 in October. Economists anticipate a drop to 55.5.

 

The subcomponents of the Index were diverse. ISM's Non-Manufacturing Employment Index decreased from 53.0 to 49.1. The Prices Index increased from 68.7 to 70.7. The unit labor costs increased by 3.5% in Q3 compared to 8.9% in Q2.

 

While the statistics were favorable for cryptocurrencies, Fed Chair Powell's recent comments weighed on the NASDAQ Composite Index. The NASDAQ Composite Index declined by 1.73 percent on Thursday.

 

The US jobs report will have a significant impact on the NASDAQ Composite Index and the cryptocurrency market today. Due to the sensitivity of BTC and ETH to US economic statistics and the FED, the correlation with the NASDAQ Composite Index remains intact. The NASDAQ 100 Mini gained 17.75 points this morning.
