XAUUSD (GOLD) ` HOUR

Those with CFD feeds are seeing XAUUSD trade albeit in very thin conditions.

Broad range: 45544-4800

Tighter ranges: 4580-4700, 4643-4682

Assuming it stays within 4600-4700 today then 4650 will be the bias setting level.

Forex Market Snapshot

The dollar is trading flat to slightly firmer ahead of what would normally be a key market moving event (US jobs report) but this time overshadowed by events in the Middle East and the Good Friday holiday closures.

While algos may be react to any misses in the data, it is hard to suggest strong follow through given thin liquidity while those trading looking to head for the exits once the data is digested and futures products close early.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR

XAUUSD (GOLD) 4 HOUR

2 Ways to look at the chart:

1. Sharp retreat from 4800 not fatal with chance the upside can be revived as long as 4530 support stays intact
2. Range is 4500-4800 with 4650 the midpoint and bias setting level

ETHUSD
In terms of users.. Ethereum is highly active with over 788,000 daily active addresses and 255,000 daily new addresses. However, there has been a sharp decline in Ethereum held on exchanges, from 32% in 2020 to 11%, with an increased rate of decline since the start of 2026. This is indicative of ongoing accumulation, as opposed to distribution.
In essence, it appears there is strong underlying demand, close to obsessive levels, but yet again, there has been no reflection of this in terms of price.

[GV World]

ETHUSD (4HR)

Ethereum looking mildly bullish as long as it holds above the 20-day EMA around $2,085, with resistance near the 50-day EMA at roughly $2,160. A breakout above $2,200 could open the door to $2,388 and $2,746, while a drop below $1,911 may lead to downside toward $1,741.

NAS100 4 HOUR CHART

Similar to US500, I gave the alert yesterday when the one way (green candle) up pattern finally saw a down (red) one.

Now with a 3-day holiday break starting tomorrow, it’s hard to suggest follow through given the headline risk and while withion 23K-24K.

With algos in control, keep an eye out for any correlations with the price of oil. (currently a dip in oil giving stocks a modest ;ift)

[GVI Forex 2]

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR

I gave the clue yesterday when the up (grteen) candle pattern was broken (red candle) followed by an up the escalator, down the elevator reaction.

With US stock markets closed tomorrow for a 3 day weekend, look for position adjustments to dominate the rest of the day with a 6500 acting as a pivotal bias setting level and a limited upside unless 6589+ trades given the headline risk during the holiday break.

Key level: 6378 support

6500 pivotal

6460 intra-day low (minor)

6500-20 resistance (minor)
