Bitcoin traded between US$27,500 and US$27,800 this week. Factors such as a surge in the US 10-year Treasury yield by 11 basis points to reach 4.8% on Tuesday, and traders capitalizing on recent profits, led to a period of consolidation. The immediate resistance levels for Bitcoin on the upside are located around US$27,650 and subsequently US$28,000. A decisive breakthrough above the US$28,000 resistance level could trigger another bullish run. However, if Bitcoin fails to maintain its upward momentum, the next support level is positioned around US$27,400, with further support possibly at US$27,200. It's noteworthy that Bitcoin has demonstrated a remarkable year-to-date performance, surging by 65%, although it remains down by 59% from its all-time high. In parallel with Bitcoin, Ethereum closely followed a similar trajectory in its price action. Ethereum initiated an attempt at recovery, originating from the US$1,630 zone. Key resistance levels for ETH are seen at US$1,650 and then US$1,720. Failing to breach these immediate resistance levels could lead to a retracement, with the next crucial support situated at US$1,600. Despite a 66% decline from its all-time high, Ethereum has shown resilience in 2023, registering a 34% increase year-to-date.

Asian markets posted gains Friday, shrugging off Wall Street losses ahead of key US jobs data due later in the day. Analysts say signs of a robust American economy, such as strong labour market data this week, are bad news for equities as it gives the Federal Reserve more reason to keep monetary policy tight through to the end of the year and beyond. US Treasury yields hit their highest levels since 2007 this week as investors fear high borrowing costs for businesses and consumers will eventually drag on the economy. All eyes are on Friday's monthly US employment data, which will give investors a good idea of whether recent signs of a softening in the labour market will continue. «European markets look set to open modestly higher ahead of today's US jobs report,» said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, «which, along with the September CPI report which is due next week could shift the odds significantly on whether we see another rate hike in November». «One other reason for the welcome retreat in yields yesterday may well have been the sharp decline in oil prices we've seen the past couple of days.» On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished flat, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq index ticked lower. But Hong Kong was on the front foot Friday, with gains of about 1.5 percent by the afternoon, though Tokyo closed marginally lower.
