24.400 resistance zone – failure there would call for more support’s tests.

Major Support : 23.400

BTCUSD Daily

Bitcoin needs to clear Resistances at 75 K & 80 K in order to start turning Bullish.

Possible reach is up to about 85K for now – do not expect it to suddenly go wild…

Repeated failure to take out 75K would turn it back to 65K.

EURUSD 4 H

1.17250 & 1.17400 are important levels in front of EUR – If it breaks above, road is open for test of 1.18350

However, failure to do so would turn EUR to Supports: 1.16400, 1.16000 & 1.15600

Weekly close above 1.16000 is very Bullish.

Forex 2 / WTI is a tradable pony … within limitations as it is a regional instrument to US market
vs Brent which is a product whose pricing expression is relevant to 60%+ of international oil volume buyers

altho I personally do not care if my profits come from a camel’s derriere atm I prefer to center my time and trading risk efforts on a wider-traded instrument.

I continue to substitute-use eurdlr pricing dynamic vs bbrg news feed as pre-cursor to brent’s reverse-correlation price action

EURUSD 4 HOUR CHART

Just an observation but EURUSD has been trading with a bid the past 3 days, even before the ceasefire headline hit the market.

Currently, it is trading with a bid but still well below Wed’s 1.1722 high so just consolidating as there is too much uncertainty to suggest follow through, especial[lly on the upside barring a surprise headline..

[ST London]

If you read the headlines it is hard to have confidence the ceasefire will hold let alone it will lead to a peace agreemrbt.

Yet, we should have learned by now to expect the unexpected, especially with talks to take place over the weekend.

Also markets still adjusting to the risk on reaction to the ceasefire so it is hard to see big bets ahead of this weekend.

XTIUSD (WTIUSD) 4 HOUR

$100 in both Brent and WTIUSD is the pivotal level as the oil trading market tries to regain a footing after this week’s black hole.

So it is $90-$100 until proven otherwise, a range as fragile as the current ceasefire.

XAUUSD (GOLD) 1 HOUR

Fragile ceasefire, fragile convictions, looking for a safe place to hide

XAUUSD back into its 4600-4800 range where the 4700 midpoint is pivotal

While short-term momentum tilting down after failing to hold 4800+,  trade turning sideways after holding 4700 (low 4698).

Above 4765 would be needed to break momentum and shift focus back to 4800.
