XAUUSD – Gold Daily
Gold hit today a new All Time High – how powerful that sounds, eh 😀
In reality, it hit a marginally higher high, and way more important is what low it’s gonna have today.
Supports: 3310.00, 3290.00 & 3250.00
Resistance: 3355.00, 3375.00 & 3420.00
As long as above 3290.00 it will pump up.

EURUSD Daily
Pre Easter – Post ECB situation – in one word: Lame
Tomorrow is not exactly a working day – maybe half a day.
Supports: 1.13350, 1.13050 & 1.12650
Resistances: 1.14150, 1.14700 & 1.14950
Reaching above 1.14150 today and closing above 1.13950 tonight would be Bullish for tomorrow..
Yet again – It is a Holiday – so not sure how it’s gonna affect trading

XAUUSD 1 HOUR CHART – Taking a pause

The one-hour chart shows a sign of a top but as we all know calling for a retracement has been a ticket to the poor house.
With that said, XAUUSD has paused after another record high (3356) but only a move below 3288-3305 would suggest more to it. Otherwise, it is just a pause and a breather.
USDJPY 1 HOUR – Stops arun nd then no more

As you can see by this chart, the rebound from 141.60 ran stops above 142.95 (high 143.08) but did foitlow through
Why is 142.95 important?
Using AT logic, a firm move above would BE NEEDED TO indicate a low and break of momentum to the downside
In the meantime, 142-143 is sort of a no man’s land with support if 142.38 can become support…. Below it would put 141.60-00 back on the radar.
Using my platform as a HEARMAP shows…

What Does it Mean When a Currency Feels “Bid in an Offered Market?”
US500 4 HOUR CHART – Not a surprise

If you followed my view that the US500 appeared to look bidin an offered market unless 5500+ was regained then you would not be surprised by the move down.
One day left for US stock market trading this week where 5200- needs to hold or face a risk of further selling.
Back aiove 5400 would be needed to ease the risk.
