Today's market conditions, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, show a cautious and bearish atmosphere, although some sectors are trying to hold on. This negative sentiment is driven by a combination of central bank policy uncertainty and persistent geopolitical tensions.

​Here is a summary description of today's bear market:

​1. Anticipating a Central Bank "Sentiment Bomb"

​Stock markets and other risk assets are in a tense wait-and-see mode. Investors' primary focus is on two major announcements:

​Bank of Japan (BoJ): Today, investors are monitoring Japan's interest rate decision. Uncertainty regarding the potential tightening of monetary policy there is creating volatility in regional currencies and foreign capital flows.

​FOMC (Fed) Meeting: In the United States, the Fed meeting, which begins today (April 28-29), has market participants worried about the "higher interest rates for longer" narrative. Although inflation is starting to decline, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's predicted hawkish statement is clouding price movements.

2. Geopolitical and Commodity Pressures

The conflict in the Middle East involving Iran continues to cast a shadow over global markets. This has caused:

​Oil Price Volatility: Supply uncertainty keeps energy prices high, which in turn fuels concerns about continued inflation.

​Energy Sector Under Pressure: In the domestic market (JCI), the energy sector was the main pressure due to fluctuating commodity prices and changes in capital flows.

3. Crypto Market Dynamics

​Although Bitcoin briefly touched the psychological level of US$79,000 yesterday, today the market appears to be slowing down (consolidating) with a short-term bearish trend for altcoins:

​"Fear" Sentiment: Despite the price increase, the Fear and Greed Index still shows a moderate reading towards "Fear," indicating that market participants are not yet fully confident in the continuation of the rally.

Bitcoin Dominance: As interest in high-risk assets weakens, Bitcoin dominance increases, which often means capital is withdrawn from more volatile altcoins.

4. Pressure from the Technology Sector

Financial reports from tech giants (the Magnificent Seven) this week added additional pressure. High expectations for AI performance led investors to take profits before the data was released, causing selling pressure on the Nasdaq and chip stocks.
