Last week blew traders' minds!

The US dollar dropped for the first time in seven weeks after Jerome Powell's speech on Tuesday. As a result, EURUSD increased to 1.0600, and USDJPY plunged to 128. Stock indices found support levels. Chinese Hang Seng rose for the second week in a row. US500 and US100 plunged at the beginning of the previous week but reversed on Thursday. The critical support levels for US500 and US100 are 3850 and 11 700, respectively. The oil market keeps trading sideways as European Union tries to approve the Russian oil embargo. The crypto market followed the US stock indices. As a result, Bitcoin decreased to the local support of $27 000, and it looks like buyers will hold the asset above this level for a while.
