June E-mini S&P 500 Index futures are pushing higher Friday morning and two things are driving it. Intel soared 24% in premarket after a blowout earnings report and word out of Pakistan suggests U.S. and Iran negotiations may be back on. That combination gave buyers a reason to show up after a week that was shaping up as a losing one for the major averages. Keep reading for the key levels and what traders need to watch into the close.
June E-mini S&P 500 Index futures are edging higher shortly before the cash market opening on Friday. The overnight trade has been volatile, producing two-sided trading action
At 13:04 GMT, it’s trading $7158.00, up $14.50 or +0.20%.
The index hit a record high at 7189.50 early in the session. Traders are going to have to take out this level to resume the uptrend. From the top down, the key levels to watch today are Thursday’s close at 7143.50, last week’s close at 7161.50 and the minor swing bottom at 7079.25
A close below 7161.50 will produce a weekly closing price reversal top. If confirmed, this could trigger the start of a 2 to 3 week correction. Finishing below 7143.50 will form a daily closing price reversal top. If confirmed, this could trigger the start of a 2 to 3 day correction. But the combination of the daily and weekly reversal could send a strong signal that momentum is shifting lower
A trade through 7079.25 will change the minor trend to down and confirm the shift in momentum. This could lead to a steep break into the short-term retracement zone at 7079.25
Longer-term targets are the 50-day moving average at 6833.36, the 200-day moving average at 6826.00 and the retracement zone at 6771.50 to 6672.75.
A Pakistani government official told reporters that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is expected in Islamabad Friday evening and that U.S.-Iran negotiations are likely to follow. Oil pulled back on the news and futures pushed higher. That’s the trade in one sentence. Any credible signal that talks are resuming takes risk premium out of energy prices and gives equities room to breathe.
Trump also announced Thursday that Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks. The Strait of Hormuz situation remains active with both the U.S. and Iran seizing commercial ships this week. The Middle East is still capable of moving this market on any headline and Friday proved it again.
Intel jumped 24% in premarket after beating earnings estimates and issuing strong guidance. That’s the kind of move that pulls the whole semiconductor space higher and the sector needed it. The iShares Semiconductor ETF posted its 17th straight positive session Thursday and is on pace for a 6% weekly gain. The rally in chips is the one thing holding this market together right now. Everything else is flat to lower on the week with the S&P 500 and Dow both down about 0.3% and the Nasdaq off 0.1%
The weekly close is the number that matters most today. A finish below 7161.50 puts a weekly closing price reversal top on the chart and that’s a signal traders around the world will notice over the weekend. Intel and the Iran talk headlines bought the bulls some time Friday morning. Whether that holds into the close decides how next week sets up.

Geopolitical Volatility: Stalled US-Iran peace efforts and a naval "shoot and kill" order spike the global risk premium.
Eurozone Contraction: April's Composite PMI fell to 48.6, signaling a services sector hit hard by surging energy costs.
UK Manufacturing Rebound: The UK PMI rose to 52.0, providing a buffer for the Pound despite supply chain inflation risks.
The US Dollar Index started to make some serious strides towards its first weekly gain in three weeks – all thanks to people flocking to it as a safe bet as US-Iran peace talks stalled and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continued to cause problems. And on top of that energy prices have been on the rise and inflation worries have been keeping Fed folk up at night, with a lot of them keeping a close eye on how conflicts might start affecting the economy.
The Euro on the other hand has been feeling a bit of the squeeze as the Eurozone’s composite PMI before slipped down to 48.6 in April which was a lot lower than the 50.1 they were forecasting for. And its not just the numbers that are bad – the services side of the economy has been hit particularly hard by energy costs going through the roof and weakening demand from the Middle East conflict. Also German IFO sentiment took a bit of a dip which adds to their growth worries.
The Pound is looking a bit more stable with the UK composite PMI rising up to 52.0 in April which is a big plus just so long as its a genuine expansion thats being driven by a rebound in the manufacturing sector ( and that went up to a pretty healthy 53.6). But what is being offset by record high costs due to supply chain issues and spiraling input prices have a bit of a dampening effect – all against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty that’s making people nervous.
The US Dollar Index is knocking on the door of 98.78, right at a critical confluence zone where resistance from a horizontal line and a descending trendline intersect. Price is stuck below both the 50-day EMA and the 200-day EMA, keeping that overall negative bias in place despite a bounce from 97.60. The latest charts show some hesitation with tiny bodies right at the resistance line, implying buyers are starting to lose steam just as they hit the wall. The RSI is getting close to 60 but just flatlining, maybe we’ll see a rejection rather than continuation after all.
If DXY can’t break through to 98.90, it’s likely headed back down to 98.35 and 97.98. To change the game and get the index moving towards 99.50, we need to see a clean breakout above that trendline.
Trade idea: If we get a sell signal below 98.90, look to aim for 98.00, and put a stop above 99.20.
GBP/USD is now trading near 1.3477, and it’s having trouble staying above its rising trendline support – a sign the bullish momentum is starting to wane. Price is stuck around the 50-day EMA, while the 200-day EMA is still lower down at 1.3435 as secondary support. Looking at the price action, it looks like we’re seeing lower highs form after a rejection at 1.3580 – a sign that sellers are slowly taking charge
The RSI is heading down towards 40, a sign that we’re losing momentum overall. If we can get a sustained move below 1.3460, the losses could really accelerate to 1.3380. To stabilise, we’d need to see GBP/USD reclaim 1.3500–1.3520 and try to push on again.
Trade idea: If we get a sell signal below 1.3460, aim for 1.3380, and put a stop above 1.3520.
EUR/USD is floating around 1.1690, and lucky for it, it’s finding support right above the lower edge of that ascending channel and near the 200-day EMA at 1.1649. Yes, it’s had a bit of a rough patch lately, but the higher lows we’re seeing in the charts still keep the overall bullish trend alive. We’re seeing some stabilisation in the latest candles, with smaller bearish bodies and a wee bit of momentum around support.

Alameda unstakes $16 million worth of Solana's SOL token, according to Arkham.
The latest move follows a familiar pattern: unstake coins and route them to addresses used to reimburse creditors. About a month ago, Alameda did the same, directing funds to the same distribution address. That prior move ultimately raised expectations that the funds were part of an ongoing creditor repayment process tied to the firm’s restructuring.
While there has been no formal confirmation that this specific tranche will be distributed imminently, the repetition of the pattern suggests continuity in the process rather than an isolated movement.
SOL, the native token of programmable blockchain Solana, has a market capitalization of $47.26 billion, which makes it the seventh-largest digital asset in the world. As of writing, SOL traded near $82, largely unchanged on a 24-hour basis, but down significantly from its all-time high of $293 hit in January last year.
Alameda, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried in 2017, began as a quantitative trading shop focused on arbitrage opportunities in digital assets, exploiting price differences across exchanges and markets.
At its peak, Alameda was a major liquidity provider across crypto markets and was deeply embedded in the ecosystem, trading billions in volume and operating across spot, derivatives, and structured products.
Alameda still holds about 3.5 million SOL worth $294.10 million, per Arkham.

Former Algerian Industry Minister Ali Aoun has been sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of corruption, local media reported.
Aoun, who was the minister for industry and pharmaceutical production between 2022 and 2024, was jailed on Monday in a high-profile corruption case that saw several senior figures convicted, the Algerian online news site Dzair Tube reported
According to the news site, prosecutors had sought a 12-year sentence for the former minister, and 10 year sentences for several other defendants. Aoun was also ordered by the Economic and Financial Criminal Court in the capital, Algiers, to pay a fine of 1 million Algerian dinar (approximately $7,500
Local media said the case revolved around the irregular sales of ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste in violation of public asset management rules
“The case centred on accusations of corruption, mismanagement and the unlawful awarding of industrial and investment contracts, notably involving the trade in ferrous waste and copper residues,” Dzair Tube reported
The AFP news agency said that several other officials were also convicted, though some were acquitted due to a lack of evidence
Among those convicted was the former minister’s son, Mehdi Aoun, who was handed a six-year prison term as part of the same case, while investors, an official at a state-owned business and a prominent businessman received sentences of between three and 10 years, according to Dzair Tube
The case and the convictions come amid an ongoing anticorruption drive launched by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who came to power in 2019 amid widespread pro-democracy protests.
Tebboune’s campaign against corruption has targeted senior officials, including from the era of former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, AFP reports.

Peru’s presidential election result will not be finalised until mid-May, with challenged ballots from last Sunday’s vote still being reviewed, says the electoral authority.
With 93 percent of ballots counted, right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori leads with 17 percent, according to officials.
Under Peru’s electoral system, the top two candidates advance to a second-round runoff. A close contest has emerged for second spot between left-wing candidate, Roberto Sanchez on 12 percent, and ultra-conservative Rafael Lopez Aliaga close behind on 11.9 percent.
The margin between the two widened slightly on Saturday to about 13,600 votes.
Yessica Clavijo, secretary general of the National Jury of Elections (JNE), said the delay was due to the review of more than 15,000 challenged ballots. About 30 percent concern the presidential race, the rest relate to legislative elections.
Lopez Aliaga, a former mayor of the capital Lima, has been the most vocal critic of the delay. He has alleged fraud without presenting evidence and called for the election to be annulled. He urged supporters of his Popular Renewal Party to protest on Sunday.
Sanchez also criticised the election process, telling reporters: “These serious organisational issues must be investigated and there must be appropriate sanctions
A record 35 candidates ran for president in Peru, a country that has faced years of political instability. Four of its last eight presidents have been impeached by Congress
Voting was disrupted by delays in the delivery of election materials, forcing authorities to extend polling into Monday in parts of Lima.
Despite the setbacks, the European Union’s election observer mission said the vote met democratic standards. On Friday, prosecutors raided a warehouse belonging to the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), the body responsible for organising the election. Four officials have been reported to the JNE over alleged offences linked to voting rights

$PIXEL @Pixels #Pixel $DOGE $0.16, currently holding above a crucial support zone near the 50-day EMA, reflecting stability despite broader market fluctuations. Over the past few sessions, Dogecoin has entered a consolidation phase, trading within a relatively tight range as buyers and sellers remain balanced. This kind of price behavior often signals accumulation, where stronger hands gradually build positions before a potential breakout.$ETH
From a technical perspective, the structure still leans slightly bullish as long as DOGE maintains its position above key moving averages. The 50-day EMA is acting as dynamic support, and repeated successful retests of this level suggest that buyers are actively defending the price. Additionally, the formation of higher lows on lower timeframes indicates growing buying interest, even though momentum has not fully expanded yet.
Market sentiment around Dogecoin remains mixed but optimistic. While it started as a meme coin, DOGE has built a strong community over the years, and social sentiment continues to play a major role in its price action. Periodic spikes in interest—often driven by online trends or influential figures—can lead to rapid price movements. However, these moves are typically followed by consolidation, as seen in the current phase.
Volume analysis shows a slight decrease compared to previous impulsive moves, which aligns with the idea of consolidation. A significant increase in trading volume will likely be the key trigger for the next directional move. If buyers step in with strong volume and push the price above nearby resistance levels, DOGE could see a quick rally toward higher targets. On the other hand, if support fails to hold, a short-term correction toward lower demand zones cannot be ruled out.
Another factor to consider is the overall crypto market trend. Dogecoin often follows the direction of larger assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. If the broader market enters a bullish phase, DOGE tends to amplify those moves due to its high volatility and strong retail participation. Conversely, in bearish conditions, it can experience sharper pullbacks.
In the short term, traders are closely watching key resistance levels above the current price. A clean breakout and sustained move above these levels would confirm bullish continuation. Until then, the range-bound movement is likely to persist. Patience is crucial during such phases, as false breakouts and fake moves are common.
In conclusion, Dogecoin is currently in a healthy consolidation phase with support holding steady. The overall structure remains constructive, but confirmation is needed for the next major move. Traders and investors alike should monitor volume, market sentiment, and key technical levels to anticipate the direction. As always, risk management remains essential in such a volatile asset.

Syria has taken full control of all military sites where US forces had previously been deployed, completing a handover that Damascus says reflects the successful absorption of Kurdish-led fighters into national structures
The announcement on Thursday comes after the final convoy of US soldiers and equipment departed Qasrak air base, located in the northeastern governorate of Hasakah, ending a military presence that began in 2014 when US forces entered the fight against ISIL (ISIS) alongside Kurdish fighters who went on to lead what became known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa received the two most senior figures in the SDF, its military commander, Mazloum Abdi, and the head of its political wing, Ilham Ahmad, in Damascus on Thursday.
Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani and the presidential envoy overseeing the integration process were also present.
Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomed the completed handover of the bases, saying it reflected the government’s efforts to bring the country under a single state authority, including border areas and the northeast, which had long operated outside Damascus’s control
The ministry said the transfer had been carried out in full coordination with the US, pointing to what it described as a constructive relationship that has developed since al-Sharaa met US President Donald Trump at the White House in November.
US Central Command, which is responsible for US troops in the Middle East, told the news agency AFP that US forces “have completed turning over all of our major bases in Syria as part of a deliberate and conditions-based transition”
The handover follows a deal struck in January between Damascus and the SDF, which had governed large swaths of northern and eastern Syria with tacit US backing.
Syrian government forces fought a brief conflict with the SDF and seized control of much of the territory the group controlled before both sides came to a new agreement in March.
Under that deal, Kurdish fighters are being brought into the Syrian national army, Syrian security forces have deployed to the city centres of Hasakah and Qamishli, and control of border crossings and civilian institutions has transferred to Damascus
Syria joined the international coalition against ISIL in November, a milestone that recast Damascus as a partner rather than an obstacle and fundamentally altered the rationale for a continued US military presence in Syria
According to Syria analyst Charles Lister, the last soldiers and equipment were routed overland through Jordan rather than Iraq to reduce exposure to potential attacks by Iranian-backed armed groups operating in the region

As North Korea's infiltration tactics grow more sophisticated, security experts say the crypto industry needs to understand what sets the regime apart from every other state-backed hacker — and why that difference makes it a dangerous threat to the ecosystem.
The short answer, according to security experts, is that crypto helps give the regime a revenue stream and keep them afloat.
North Korea doesn't have the luxury of patience," said Dave Schwed, chief operating officer at SVRN and the founder of the cybersecurity masters program at Yeshiva University. "They're under comprehensive international sanctions and they need hard currency to fund weapons programs. The UN and multiple intelligence agencies have confirmed that crypto theft is a primary funding mechanism for their nuclear and ballistic missile development."
That urgency explains a dynamic that has long puzzled investigators: why North Korean hackers carry out large-scale, traceable heists on public blockchains instead of quietly using crypto to evade sanctions the way other state actors do.
The answer, Schwed argues, is structural. Russia still has an economy: oil, gas, commodity exports, and trading partners willing to use workarounds. It needs crypto as a payment rail, but not for much else. Iran, too, has goods to move — sanctioned oil, proxy financing networks, willing intermediaries across the Middle East. North Korea has almost nothing left to sell.
Their exports are almost entirely sanctioned. They don't have a functioning economy that needs a payment rail. They need direct revenue," Schwed said. "Crypto theft gives them immediate access to liquid value, globally, without needing a counterparty willing to do business with them."
That distinction — crypto as infrastructure versus crypto as a target — is what separates North Korea not just from Russia, but from Iran as well. While Russia routes money through crypto to work around sanctions, and Iran uses it to fund proxy networks across the Middle East, North Korea is running something closer to a state-sponsored heist operation.
Their targets are exchanges, wallet providers, DeFi protocols and the individual engineers and founders who have signing authority or infrastructure access," said Alexander Urbelis, chief information security officer at ENS Labs and a professor of cybersecurity at King’s College London. "The victim is whoever holds the keys or access to the infrastructure that holds the keys."
Russia and Iran, by comparison, treat crypto as incidental, a means to broader geopolitical ends.
Russia targets elections, energy infrastructure and government systems. Iran goes after dissidents and regional adversaries," Urbelis said. "When either of them touches crypto, it's to move money, not to steal it from the ecosystem."
That singular focus has pushed North Korean operatives to adopt tactics more commonly associated with intelligence agencies than criminal hackers: months-long relationship building, fabricated identities and supply chain infiltration.
You're not defending against a phishing email from a random scammer," Urbelis said. "You're defending against someone who spent six months building a relationship specifically to compromise one person who has the access you need to protect."
The Drift campaign is only the most recent example.
"Once a transaction is signed and confirmed, it's final," Urbelis said. The Bybit exploit earlier last year moved $1.5 billion in roughly 30 minutes, a pace and scale that would be nearly impossible in the traditional banking system.
Crypto's own architecture makes it a uniquely attractive hunting ground. In traditional finance, even successful hacks run into friction in the form of compliance checks, correspondent bank checks, settlement delays and the possibility of reversing fraudulent transfers. When North Korea's hackers pulled off the Bangladesh Bank robbery in 2016, the heist took days to process and most of the funds were eventually recovered or blocked. In crypto, none of those safeguards exist at the protocol level
And while banks operate under decades of regulatory guidance and audit requirements, many crypto projects are still improvising — often prioritizing speed and innovation over governance and controls
That finality fundamentally changes the security calculus. In banking, a reasonable defense can be built across prevention, detection and response, because there's always a window to freeze funds or reverse a wire. In crypto, that window barely exists, which means stopping an attack before it happens isn't just preferable — it's essentially the only option
That gap creates an environment where even sophisticated teams can be vulnerable, particularly to the kind of long-term infiltration tactics North Korea has been refining
This is the hardest operational security problem in crypto right now," Urbelis said of the challenge of vetting against sophisticated fake identities and third-party intermediaries. "I don't think the industry has solved it

South African opposition politician Julius Malema has been sentenced to prison time for firing a rifle in ⁠the air at a party rally.
Malema, the leader of the far-left opposition Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), was handed a five-year sentence on Thursday by Magistrate Twanet Olivier.
Malema, who is one of South Africa’s most prominent politicians, was convicted last year of charges, including unlawful possession of a ⁠firearm and discharging a weapon in a public place over the 2018 incident at a stadium in the Eastern Cape province
The 45-year-old leader of the fourth-biggest party in parliament had pleaded not guilty, arguing the gun was a toy. His defence said the shots were only intended to be celebratory
“It wasn’t … an impulsive act,” the magistrate said. “It was the event of the evening.
The court sentenced Malema to five years for unlawful possession of a firearm and two years for unlawful possession of ammunition. It gave him fines for ⁠three other offences, including discharging a firearm in a built-up area, with ⁠prison time if he doesn’t pay. The sentences will run at the same time
Within ⁠minutes of the magistrate’s decision being ⁠read out in the court in KuGompo City, formerly East London, on Thursday, Malema’s lawyers applied for leave to appeal – a request that was later granted
Meanwhile, outside the court, hundreds of Malema’s red-clad EFF supporters gathered for the sentencing in the politically charged case
The EFF – a small but vocal party – says the case is an attempt to silence its outspoken leader, who is known for fiery speeches. Party supporters have threatened protests should their leader be jailed
The magistrate stressed it “is not a political party who has been convicted here … it is a person, an individual
The maximum possible sentence was 15 years in prison. If confirmed after all appeals, Thursday’s five-year sentence would bar Malema from serving as a lawmaker
That would be a major setback to the EFF, which has strong support among young South Africans frustrated by the racial inequality that has persisted since the end of white minority rule in 1994

Iran has been winning its economic game of chicken with President Donald Trump.
Trump’s extraordinary blockade of the Strait of Hormuz this week shows the United States isn’t backing down just yet. But America’s significant new step adds substantial risk – to more than just the economy.
If it lasts, the blockade could inflict severe damage to both the Iranian and the US economies. It’s a kind of mutually assured economic pain that the United States, with its $31 trillion economy, is betting it can better withstand.
But the blockade will require serious military power to enforce, putting US troops in harm’s way – a consequence the US has largely avoided so far by conducting the majority of its attack from the air. Putting boots on enemy ships and taking control of dangerous waters threatens to increase the US death toll
Americans are already largely opposed to the war, and the blockade risks two outcomes they have demonstrated no tolerance of: even higher gas prices and troop casualties. Trump is betting Iran will blink first, but Iran has withstood severe economic pain before, and there’s little evidence it is prepared to back down from this existential fight
“Oil’s game of chicken continues to escalate,” said Helima Croft, global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Market and a former CIA analyst. “I’m not sure either side is prepared to swerve
The blockade could remove from the global market the 1.8 million barrels of crude Iran has been exporting each day during the war. That’s about 2% of the world’s daily demand – not a ton of oil, but when 12 million barrels a day have been blocked by Iran’s effective closure of the strait, every drop counts
The global oil market has already shown what could happen if the blockade lasts: Crude prices rose by as much as 8% Monday. That could send gas prices, already at a 4-year high, even higher. Prices surged by the most since 2022 last month, and inflation-wary Americans are demonstrating zero tolerance for more cost-of-living pain
Trump on Fox Business Monday acknowledged that high gas prices could last through the November midterm elections
It could be, it could be the same, or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same,” Trump said to Fox’s Maria Bartiromo
But a successful blockade could be significantly more devastating for Iran
The blockade will throttle Iran’s oil exports, cutting off its primary revenue source, noted Dan Pickering, founder and chief investment officer at Pickering Energy Partners. Iran’s single pipeline route — to a port on the Gulf of Oman — has just 200,000 barrels per day of realistic export capacity, and the US Navy could also try to blockade that
“Iran will certainly be hurt by this, and it will be hurt severely,” said Adnan Mazarei, senior fellow of Middle Eastern affairs at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Still, Iran is well-accustomed to sanctions and economic pain, and it has the resources to hold out for quite some time. After the US lifted sanctions on Iranian oil last month, the country’s crude output surged. Total Iranian crude volumes on water — including floating storage and cargoes in transit – reached approximately 190 million barrels this week, according to Johannes Rauball, senior crude research analyst at Kpler
The US Navy could intercept some of that, but stopping all that crude would be tricky
The current measures are unlikely to materially disrupt Iran in the near term,” he said
Iran also has developed some tricks to evade sanctions in the past. It has a history of mixing its oil with Iraq’s or smuggling fuel through Pakistan, noted Hasan Alhasan, a senior fellow for the Middle East Policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Bahrain.
With its blockade, the United States is effectively taking on a punishing task: wresting control of the Strait of Hormuz from Iran
The Trump administration said more than a month ago the Navy would escort oil tankers through the strait. But that never happened, in part because of the danger to troops from navigating narrow waters while fending off Iranian mines and attack vessels. The complicated logistics made the plan a low priority for the Navy, which focused instead on eliminating Iran’s offensive capabilities
Trump’s blockade is functionally the same as the escort plan, only the objective has changed: Navy ships will be tasked with intercepting and commandeering enemy vessels to prevent Iran from getting its oil onto the ocean.
It’s a serious escalation in the war: Trump on Monday said the US will sink any Iranian ships that come near the US blockade. A senior Iranian lawmaker responded that any Navy vessels attempting to block Iran’s ports will be “sent to the bottom of the sea.” It’s not an idle threat: Even with a depleted Navy, Iran has proven capable of targeting vessels in the strait with small speed boats and inexpensive drones.
The blockade also risks spreading the war beyond its current confines. Iran has already retaliated against previous US and Israeli attacks by blowing up crucial energy infrastructure in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and Croft said she expects Tehran would increase attacks on regional energy facilities if Trump backs his threat with action
Iran’s proxies, including the Houthis and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, could also enter the conflict more broadly than they already have, Croft warned. They have already begun harassing ships in the Red Sea and apparently attacked a pipeline in Saudi Arabia
