US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR:  Taking a breather or out of steam?

Trend: Major Up

Momentum: Consolidating

How markets close Wednesday, more than the initial reaction to US July CPI, will give a clue whether this is still consolidation, a retracement or time for a fresh push higher.

Taking a broad look shows wide range at 7600-7800 with 7700 as the bias setting midpoint.

If above 7700, then keeps a bid in consolidation.

If below 7700, then retracement.

If above 7800, then no longer a breather and a new record high.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR –4400+ so far proving tough

Trend: Up

Momentum: UP

2 times testing 4400+, second time with a lower high (4404) bit would need to move below 4313 to break current momentum, currently blocked by 4356.

Otherwise, risk stays on upside but only a move through 4435 would break fresh ground

Market Update:Headline roulette

Seeing some minor ripple effects from a blip in oil following the latest geopolitical headline from an Iranian official (see prior post)

[GVI Forex 2]

,The dilemma for traders is that Iranian officials are not speaking with one voice (i.e. who is in charge?), even when they repeat the party line. The reaction (or lack of) in markets tells more than the news itself.

Seeing a modest reaction to this headline.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR:  Taking a breather or out of steam

Trend: Major Up

Momentum: Consolidating

Barring a sharp fall, the 4-hour trendline seems destined to be broken with sideways trading.

As noted, currently consolidating with a bid while above the midpoint (i.e. 7700) of a 7600-7800 range. Below 7700 would suggest a move out of steam.

Market Update: XAUUSD vs. BTCUSD

XAUUSD hanging in with a bid and so far disconnecting from the uptick in US yields.  Watch recent high 4372, key level 4382 as firmly above it would open a void to 4500+. Sub-4311 would cool the risk.

BTCUSD: Long down candle should shake bulls, who do not want to see 62K broken after failing to hold above 65K

US stocks on sidelines holding a bid but  consolidating.
