1.1650 = midpoint of two key round numbers. 1.15 and 1.18.
If 1.1650 becomes so;id support, then 1.18 becomes a target
If 1.1650 fails to become support and becomes resistance, then range goes back to 1.15-1.16
1.1642 currently being tested (low so far 1.1649)

XAUUSD (GOLD) 4 HOUR: Still on the defensive
Trend: UP Momentum: Short-term down
On the defensive but so far trading above yesterday’s 4583 low, which needs to hold to turn this into consolidation rather than a further retracement. In this regard, no key levels to note within 4500-4600 other than 4583 and 4519 (23.6%). Resistance starts at 4643.

USDCAD 4 HOUR: Key resistance looms
With U.S.-Canada trade relations hitting the CAD, let’s take a look at what would accelerate the USDCAD reaction to the upside or keep it contained.
Key level is 1.3910, blocks 1.3929 (38.2%), 1.3964 and 1.3990 (50%)
Below 1.3910 contains the upside with supports at 1.3858 and 1.3820-25 guard a return to 1.38.

XAUUSD vs. BTCUSD
I posted this around this time yestereday and you can see how it has so far played out after both paused and retreated following new highs (so far with limited follow through)
Both in uptrends with highs (4697 and 81230) showing potential for a pause (while below 4650 and 80K) but only moves through 4594 and/or 75497 would confirm.

[MARKET UPDATE] Pressure across US equity futures & fixed income benchmarks, which comes alongside strength in the crude complex & USD; action which lacks a fresh driver, but in continuation of post-PCE moves Source: Newsquawk.com

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: Waiting for Nvidia
Trend: Longer-term consolidating
Momentum: Short-term down slowed
Trying to build on its higher low (28944) that would need to take out 29450 and then 29600-670 (on this CFD chart) to shift the focus back to 30K.
Otherwise, wait is on for Nvidia earnings after the close and likely to hold a bid while aboive 29K trades.
