XAUUSD (GOLD) 1 HOUR

Unable to shake a focus from 4800

For down momentum/retracement pressures to build, 4830 needs to hold on top and the double bottom around 4786  broken.

Above 4813 cools the risk and shifts focus back to 4871

US500 (SP500) DAILY

If it wasn’t that 7014 is the record high and thus a formidable level,  it would be a clear path as charts show no obstacles above 6969.

In any case, 7000 is likely most important in dictating whether US500 is ready for a fresh run into uncharted territory as price action suggests market is pricing in the end game to the Middle Rast crisis.

“Trump threatens to fire Powell if the Fed chair doesn’t leave office on his own
Published Wed, Apr 15 20268:27 AM EDT Updated 4 Min Ago

If Powell stays on as a Fed governor after his successor is confirmed, Trump said he’ll have him removed from office.

“Then I’ll have to fire him,” the president said during an interview on Fox Business. “If he’s not leaving on time — I’ve held back firing him. I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial. I want to be uncontroversial.”
