NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR

NAS100 on a tear with another record high while US6500 lags and consolidates below its high.

While in unchartered territory only resistance is at the most recent high and a round number like 27000.

Another way to look at it is if 26500 becomes support then 28000 becomes a potential target.

US500 (SP500) DAILY

Lagging the NAS100 and consolidating below its 7152 record high.

Risk stays on the upside and the record high as long as the bottom of 7092-7116 support holds..

XAUUSD (GOLD) 1 HOUR

Break of 6 day trade around 4800 (bearish) suggests upside is limited unless this level trades again (high 4772).’

On the other side, 4668 would need to be broken to build momentum to the downside.

Otherwise, range 4668-4772.

GVI  4:03 “quest for peace” is NOT currently credible theme to the gaming community

neither is any noise about some “talk” (right words and action are missing)

[GVI Forex 2]

Brent oil high 102.00 is not a vote of confidence in the quest for peace… US stocks, especially the NAS, are not paying attention while FX only partially doing so

Market Update

Correlations: Yes and No (Oil and EURUSD say risk off, NAS100 says risk on)

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 1 HOUR

Extended its record high (by just 2 pts so far) to 26769, suggesting it ran into sellers rather than stops above the high.

This bears watching as it could indicate a pause but bulls stay in control; as long as it trades above 26399.

[GVI Forex 2]

US500 (SP500) 1 HOUR

Regaining a bid back above 7100 but consolidating while below the record 7152 high.

To keep a bid, 7090-00 needs to hold as support.

ST re your “Here’s the dilemma: Who do you trust” Qtn
–
most traders, typically US traders, are “naturally” optimistic.
hard-nosed traders watch not political blather, rather market’s collective positioning and attempt to game THAT, natural optimism / patriotism aside / notwithstanding.

key is to know where and on what to turn one’s eyeballs and trading attention
g/l

[ST London]

Here’s the dilemma: Who do you trust?

One voice in the USA who speaks a lot and prone to changing his mind.

Too many voices on the other side and not clear who is in charge.

FX option expiries for 22 April 10am New York cut

EUR/USD at the 1.1760 and 1.1790-00 levels. The currency pair has been looking a little heavier since overnight trading, as the risk mood retreats slightly as US-Iran developments continue to hit a roadblock. The expiries now tie closer to the 200-hour moving average at 1.1760 currently and also some short-term daily resistance at the 1.1800 mark.

EURUSD 4 H

Resistances: 1.17550 & 1.17750   Supports: 1.17400 & 1.17250

Close of this Bar above 1.17500 – Bullish for next bar

Close bellow 1.17400 – Bearish

On the Daily: As long as EURUSD above 1.16750, this should be considered as a Correction
