EURUSD
For further momentum to build to the downside, 1,1474 needs to become resistance.
Key 4 hour level is 1.1405, firm break would confirm an end to the uptrend… On a daily chart, the level is 1.1371
On the upside, back above 1.1530 would negate the risk although 1.15 remain pivotal in setting its tone.

XAUUSD
Failure to regain 3400+ keeps risk on the downside as long as it trades below it.
Some may call it a downtrend, others a retracement of the broader 3202-3452 range … see FIBOS below

Should 3366 be decisively broken, supports come in at 3338 and 3315 ahead of a key 3293 level, the base of the move to 3452 with FIBOS mixed in between.
