XAUUSD 1 HOUR

Pattern: 6 day trade around 4800 so far broken (bearish)

So, expect a limited upside while below 4800 (high 4772)

On the downside, pause above 4632 (low 4668) and subsequent bounce means damage not fatal

Bottomline: Hard call with little to go for between 4668-4797 so keep an eye on whether correlation with risk mood continues.

• GBPUSD is holding above 1.35
• USDJPY unchanged and a modest underperformer
• NZD is again an outperformer
• Otherwise, it is another day of headline watching along with the price of crude oil.

A bit of disconnest with XTIUSD moving up but so far no ripple effects in other markets. This suggests a wait-and-see ahead of key (peace talks) event day on Wednesday.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR

What caught my eye was the break of the record 7150 high yielded only 2 pips (new high 7152), indicating it ran into sellers rather than stops. So far, it has only caused a pause but bears watching given the importance of the “50” level.

To keep the focus on the high, 7089-7119 needs to hold.
