The Russell 2000 index, after a nearly 20% correction, is testing key support at 2000 points, a level previously significant during recession fears.

The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain a cautious stance on monetary policy amid ongoing uncertainties.
Bitcoin's recovery hinges on the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision, with expectations that an end to quantitative tightening (QT) could bolster market liquidity.

USD/JPY is approaching a descending trend line established since January, following a rebound from a recent low of 146.50.

However, if the pair falls below 148.30, a decline may resume.
