SpaceX IPO & Middle East Peace Hopes Spark Massive Relief Rally

USD Index, Gold & Crude Oil Outlook

Optimism Overshadows Hot PPI

Global markets quickly returned to optimism on Thursday, as investors staged a powerful bullish rebound across the equities market. This sudden wave of confidence was heavily fueled by intense excitement surrounding today's historic market debut of the SpaceX IPO. Coupled with a positive turn in Middle East geopolitics, markets experienced a massive relief rally.

Technical Outlook: Today's Focus

US Dollar: Fading Strength at 100 Resistance

The sudden shift in global sentiment and the aggressive return of risk appetite have caused the US Dollar's recent bullish momentum to fade.

USD Index, H4 Chart

The Greenback is facing heavy technical pressure as it repeatedly rejects the 100.00 psychological resistance ceiling, sending the Dollar to open lower on Friday to retest the 99.30 – 99.50 support zone again.

However, despite this near-term pullback driven by the risk-on rally, the Dollar's broader structural trend remains firmly supported above the 99.30 – 99.50 major support zone. As long as this floor holds, the Dollar remains in a bullish consolidation phase. Conversely, a clean breakdown below this level would open the door for a solid structural reversal in the Dollar. At this point, expect the Dollar to remain in a consolidation pattern heading into the Fed meeting next week.

Gold: Rebounds, but Risks Remain

Taking full advantage of the Dollar's retreat from its key resistance, Gold has staged a solid intraday recovery from its recent structural lows.

XAUUSD, H4 Chart

While the bounce offers temporary relief for bulls, the broader structural trends remain strictly under watch. Technically, the $4,230 – $4,300 area serves as a massive overhead resistance zone for the precious metal. We can expect a period of downside consolidation here.

Unless Gold can execute a sharp, sustained rebound above the $4,300 pivot, the dominant downside risks remain firmly intact, meaning current bounces should still be treated as potential shorting opportunities.

Energy Outlook: Oil Plunges on Easing Middle East Tensions

The global oil market is under severe pressure, plunging over 6% as geopolitical risk premiums evaporate rapidly. With oil prices hovering near the lower boundary of their recent range, the market could be staging a potential bearish trend turn.

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have dramatically eased following major diplomatic headlines:

· Airstrikes Cancelled: The US has officially cancelled its planned new wave of military airstrikes against Iranian targets.

· Peace Deal Claims: Trump publicly stated that the relevant agreement between the US and Iran has been “approved,” claiming that the two nations are in the late stages of signing a historic peace agreement.

Should a formal peace deal actually materialize, it will significantly reduce the structural geopolitical risk premium embedded in oil prices, setting the stage for a prolonged downturn.

Crude Oil Technical Outlook

While oil prices may find temporary technical support near the lower boundary of their recent trading range, traders must remain highly cautious.

UKOIL, H4 Chart

Over on UKOIL (Brent), price action continues to hover over the lower boundary of its range, potentially carving out a large descending triangle pattern. Should we see a clean technical breakout of this descending triangle or continued sustained pressure within the lower boundary, oil is highly likely to face a major breakdown that ushers in a renewed trend shift.

USOIL, H4 Chart

Similarly, a highly vulnerable setup is forming over USOIL (WTI). Traders should closely watch the key support floors at $86 (USOIL) and $90 (UKOIL). If these levels lose defense, expect to see a renewed, aggressive downside trend for crude oil, especially if the peace deal is finalized.

Bottom Line & Asset Summary

Global sentiment experienced a violent shift back to risk-on territory on Thursday as extreme excitement over the historic SpaceX IPO debut and major progress toward a US-Iran peace deal sparked a powerful relief rally. This waves of optimism allowed equities to completely shrug off a scorching hot US PPI report (6.5% YoY).

As a result, the US Dollar retreated from the 100.00 ceiling to open lower on Friday, giving Gold room for a short-term bounce. Meanwhile, crude oil suffered heavy liquidations, plunging over 6% as a major descending triangle pattern threatens a structural breakdown.
