XAUUSD 1 HOUR CHART = UNCHARTERED WATERS
While the forex market treads water ahead of Wednesday’s US CPI report, XAUUSD has scored another record high, moving just above Friday’s high (2354) and again disappointing those trying to pick a top
As I noted yesterday, XAUUSD needed to hold above 2330 to keep the high at risk and the result has been a fresh run at the upside.
As I also noted, I had no interest in suggesting the high was in despite what looked like an exhaustion high on Friday. .
With that said, the new high is the only key resistance on a chart and 2350 becomes pivotal in setting the day tone. Only a move below 2336 would suggest the potential for a pause.

with nothing of substance on the econ calendar todahy players have room to argue things out (i.e. consolidate)
the “better qualified” individuals are suggesting ambivalent things about alleged rate cuts with a bottom line attempt at maybe not quiet three cuts as “feasable” this year.
with 10-yr yield nearing 4.5% dlrx is rather subdued in its response.
In his friday yak jerome alluded to details about labor he & gang are watching such as turfing notices and surveys around jobs intentions – two rays of good hope from the FED’s point of view. The CPI numbers that are expected this week appear to be another ray of hope for the FED as “being on the right track” that earlier numbers were but a “bump”
Degenerate traders on the other hand would likely savage rates and ccies on upside surprise releases.
Since the relationship with currencies to US stocks matters, just a note stocks are firmly in a pull back cycle and I don’t see any way that Dow trades above 392 today unless something dramatic happens. Yields up. Dow futures holding 39170 so it appears the shorter term cycle is the market wanting to hold stocks against the more significant sell cycle in the index. DXY is holding the offer overall so it would take something of weight to move it over 104.60 today in my opinion.

Given the strong US jobs report and rise in US yieldsw today it would seem more logical for EURUSD to be trading 1.07xx rather than 1.08xx’
