XBRUSD DAILY 4 HOUR (CFD CHART): Depleted strategic reserves factor
This headline caught my eye today:
The world has nearly burned through its oil stockpile buffer, executives say and that depleted buffer reserves have raised the price of oil’s floor (key for trading is whether it will be above or beloow $100).
XAUUSD 1 HOUR –Is the low in or just a pause?
As noted yesterday, big spike down to 4066 (stops) and quick bounce shows potential for a low or at least a pause
To make it more than just a pause and for momentum to build off higher lows, 4143 and the (3 point) trendline would need to be taken out, followed by a break of 4170-84.
Otherwise, 4100 likely to be pivotal in setting its tone.

Retracements not going far enough to trigger follow through,with US500 pausing above 61.8% and NAS100 above 38.2%.
Subsequent bounces keep 7800 and 31K as pivotal in setting respective trading tones.
Otherwise, consolidation unless record highs (7845 and 31385) or retracement lows (see charts) are taken out.

BTCUSD vs. ETHUSD (Daily): Which is more vulnerable?
BTCUSD: On the defensive but holding above its 3+ week range low at 82465 to keep downside in check.
ETHUSD: In a more vulnerable position with its 3+ week range low (2619) broken and needing to stay above 2560, being pivoted (low 2549) to keep risk away from 2352.
US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR: One day wonder? Was this a one day (new record high) wonder? 2 blue AT lines drawn off the record high indicate potential for at least a pause and shift in risk towards a retracement. Low so far has paused above the 50% level. In any case, 7800 is pivotal…back above it would be needed to cool the risk…while below keeps downside at risk.
