Asia open: Tech rout deepens and Middle East tensions fuel market tremors
Global markets entered a risk-off phase amid a deep technology selloff, escalating Middle East tensions, and stronger-than-expected US employment data. Semiconductor stocks led losses amid growing concerns over AI valuations, while rising oil prices following Iran-Israel hostilities revived inflation fears. Meanwhile, robust US payrolls data reinforced expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, pushing Treasury yields and the US dollar higher while pressuring global equities.

Chart alert: EUR/USD finds support as ECB hawkishness offsets Fed strength ahead of NFP
EUR/USD is showing resilience ahead of the closely watched US Nonfarm Payrolls report as investors weigh diverging economic growth trends against converging central bank hawkishness. While the US labour market remains stable enough to support a higher-for-longer Federal Reserve stance, the ECB is expected to continue tightening policy amid persistent inflation. Technical analysis suggests EUR/USD is building a potential base above key support levels, supporting a near-term bullish outlook.

Asia open: AI Rally stalls on Broadcom miss, while ‘Sell Indonesia’ sweeps markets
Global markets turned mixed as the AI rally stumbled following Broadcom’s weaker-than-expected outlook, triggering a sharp selloff in technology shares. While the Nasdaq and the semiconductor sector came under pressure, the Dow Jones surged to a record high as falling oil prices eased inflation concerns. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s financial markets extended their sharp decline amid growing investor concerns over policy intervention, highlighting broader risks facing emerging markets across Asia.

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.

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. However, technical and on-chain indicators are now pointing toward potential selling exhaustion. Oversold RSI conditions, elevated long liquidations, and continued accumulation by long-term holders suggest Bitcoin may be nearing a bullish reversal if it can maintain support above US$62,250.
