British Pound: Lower against Euro on UK political turmoil – Danske Bank

Finance  British Pound: Lower against Euro on UK political turmoil – Danske Bank  Danske Research Team highlights that EUR/GBP moved higher as United Kingdom (UK) political uncertainty intensified. Over 90 MPs called for Prime Minister Starmer to resign and several ministers and aides stepped down. Bond markets fear looser fiscal policy and potential leadership change, which lifted Gilt yields and led markets to price a more hawkish Bank of England (BoE) stance.  UK politics lift cross higher  “In the UK, more than 90 MPs called for PM Starmer to step down, and four ministers handed in their resignation yesterday.”  “Bond markets fear looser fiscal policy in case of a change of leadership, which drove 30Y Gilt yields to the highest levels since 1998.”  “If Starmer resigns, it could also open up for a more hawkish policy stance from the Bank of England, which was reflected in market pricing yesterday.”  “EUR/GBP was on the rise following mounting pressure for UK PM Starmer to resign.”  “With up to 80 Labour MPs having called for Starmer to resign and six ministerial aides quit yesterday, prediction markets have ramped up bets of Starmer being out to around 70% by June and 85% by YE 2026.”

Small cap, big gains - Decoding the FOMO behind USELESS’s recent 70% surge

Tech  Small cap, big gains – Decoding the FOMO behind USELESSs recent 70% surge  Useless [USELESS], the Solana-based memecoin that pokes fun at conventional utility tokens, has rallied by almost 80% over the past week. This memecoin proudly calls itself “the most honest cryptocurrency” and brags of having zero purpose and 100% uselessness.  It rallied by 7.2% in the last 24 hours and had a $76.96 million market cap at the time of writing. This figure is relatively small though, even for a memecoin. Hence, quick gains and even quicker sell-offs can be expected.  USELESS vertical rally expectationsSource: X  In a post on X, user Unipcs, or the Bonk Guy, theorized that USELESS could embark on a silly bullish trend. It has 100 days of consolidation near the $0.04 lows and finally managed to break out above $0.05 recently.  A long consolidation implies sellers are exhausted, and buyers have been accumulating. A bullish breakout from this consolidation phase, for a small-cap memecoin, could make for a parabolic run.  The sidelined market participants would be forced to chase the gains across both the spot and futures markets. This FOMO demand can drive USELESS higher with hardly any dips along the way, he argued.  Memecoins, especially the smaller ones, tend

Institutional interest has been a major catalyst. Favorable regulatory developments have made

US Dollar Index: Hawkish repricing supports DXY – OCBC

Finance  US Dollar Index: Hawkish repricing supports DXY – OCBC  OCBCs Christopher Wong notes the US Dollar (USD) strengthened after hotter United States (US) Consumer Price Index (CPI) data lifted UST yields and revived Fed hike expectations, with focus now on US Producer Price Index (PPI). He highlights that higher front-end and long-end yields have restored USD support, though the CPI mix does not yet signal a broad inflation breakout. Wong sees USD dips staying supported if markets keep pricing a more hawkish Fed reaction function.  Rates and inflation keep DXY supported  “Near term, USD may remain supported on dips if markets continue to price a more hawkish Fed reaction function, especially with oil prices still elevated and inflation risks skewed to the upside.”  “That said, the CPI mix does not yet point to a broad-based inflation breakout, so USD upside may still require either further upside data surprises, firmer oil, or a deeper deterioration in risk sentiment.”  “DXY rose; last seen at 98.30 levels. Mild bearish momentum on daily chart faded while RSI rose. 2-way risks likely.”  “Resistance at 98.70 (38.2% fibo), 99 levels (50 DMA). Support at 98.10 (50% fibo retracement of 2026 low to high), 97.50/60 levels (double bottom, 61.8% fibo retracement of 2026

Injective (INJ) Price Explodes 13% After Bullish Breakout—Is a Rally to $6 Next?

Tech  Injective (INJ) Price Explodes 13% After Bullish Breakout—Is a Rally to $6 Next?  The post Injective (INJ) Price Explodes 13% After Bullish Breakout—Is a Rally to $6 Next? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News  The Injective price witnessed a massive breakout over the past 24 hours and surged nearly 13%, reclaiming the $5 range. The rally comes amid rising market participation, increasing open interest, and growing bullish momentum across the derivatives market. After weeks of gradual recovery, the crypto is approaching a decisive resistance zone that could determine the next phase of the trend.  The daily chart suggests the token may have confirmed a rounded-bottom recovery pattern after rebounding from the April lows. The latest breakout candle has pushed the price above a crucial resistance level around $5.15. Besides, the volume and open interest have also surged sharply during the move.  The rounded-bottom formation reflects a gradual shift from accumulation to expansion, which is often considered an early bullish reversal signal. At the same time, the sharp rise in open interest suggests fresh leveraged positions are entering the market. Another important signal is the negative funding rate despite the strong price surge. This indicates many traders are still positioned short, increasing the possibility of

Bitcoin Price Today: BTC at $80,960 After a Week of Rejections – Hot CPI Just Made $82,000 Harder

Bitcoin  Bitcoin Price Today: BTC at $80,960 After a Week of Rejections – Hot CPI Just Made $82,000 Harder  Bitcoin is trading near $80,960 on May 13, 2026, and the weekly chart tells a frustrating story for bulls. BTC opened the week at $81,400, touched $82,000 twice, got rejected both times, and is now heading into the weekly close slightly below the opening level. Down 0.76% on the week. Not a collapse. Just a week of going nowhere against a wall.  Then CPI landed. April inflation came in at 3.8% year over year, against expectations of 3.7%, and the highest reading since 2023. That single number pushed rate cut expectations from 2026 out to 2027, lifted bond yields, and removed the easy-money tailwind that had been quietly supporting BTCs recovery.  The $82,000 ceiling just got a layer of macro cement poured on top of it.  What the Weekly Chart Shows  The pattern from this week is worth noting because it has now repeated four times. Price approaches $82,000, sellers show up, BTC fades back below $81,000. No clean 4H close above the level. No real follow-through from buyers at the highs.  The weekly open was $81,400. The first push to $82,000 came early in the week and

Tech  DeFi Superapp Legend Shuts Down After Failing to Scale  The company said it failed to achieve the scale needed for long-term sustainability despite raising $15 million in funding from investors in 2025. The closure comes as more than 20 DeFi, NFT, and GameFi projects have shut down this year already due to declining user activity, financial pressure, hacks, and volatile market conditions.  Crypto Superapp Legend Announces Shutdown  Decentralized finance mobile superapp Legend that it will shut down after roughly two years of operation. The platform was designed to simplify for mainstream users, and said it would continue operating for another 60 days before officially going offline on July 12.  Legend launched as a mobile-first, non-custodial DeFi aggregator. The goal of the application was to make decentralized finance easier to use by allowing users to access multiple DeFi services from a single interface instead of navigating several wallets, protocols, and decentralized applications individually.  Despite attracting investor backing and building a product that appealed to a niche audience, Legend co-founder Jayson Hobby that the platform never reached the scale required to sustain the business long term. In a statement announcing the shutdown, Hobby explained that while the company strongly believed the right user interface could bring DeFis
