XAUUSD is pressing towards next resistance while there is been little reaction in other markets so far to news reports that Iran could launch a retaliatory strike against Israel in the next 24 hours
As the chart shows, 2459 is the obstacle to 2477. with the record 2483 high looming above it.
The way internal metrics look at present suggest buy interest at and just below 2900. I can wait for it to exhaust and sell again on the pull up, price activity was consistent and smooth on a earlier sell. Nothing has happened recently to change the overall sell bias.
Headlines reflect turmoil and indecision bordering on indigestion regardless of source or political propaganda. Warrants caution. Entertaining the sell side of EU is my preference of the moment.

GBPUSD WEEKLY OUTLOOK – MOVING AVERAGES CHECK THE DOWNSIDE
Posted over the weekend (daily chart)
GBPUSD bounce from the 100 (blue) and 200 (yellow) moving average band would need to regain 1.28+ to expose resistance (1.2800-20) and retracement levels as shown below.
On the downside. 1.27 is a pivotal level that needs to trade above to keep a new found bid. Below it is key support is at the 1.2664 low and the major 1.2612 support.
There is a full UK economic calendar this week so the reaction will dictate whether GBPUSD has found a bottom.
Interesting display of euphemism in dolan’s “off-radar” poetic talent this morning:
–
“Markets pray” … that “there should be nothing to scare the horses if the number comes in on consensus – with even Fed hawks now acknowledging it’s time to ease as long as disinflation continues.”
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Off-radar for much of the past week’s market turbulence, U.S. inflation updates this week will reveal just how much latitude the Federal Reserve has to meet pumped-up expectations around its first interest rate cut next month.
It makes sense since JPY carry trade unwinds hit commodity currencies the hardest, it is logical to see these currencies rebound (vs JPY as well) once the panic selling subsided.
What they have in common are the big wicks that suggested highs/lows are in for now.
USDCAD:
Intra-day support 1.3720
Daily chart support 1.3656
Key weekly support 1.3588 and the trendline
If it trades within 1.37-1.38, back above 1.3750-60 would be needed to shift the focus back to 1.3790-00.
Note, AUD and NZD outperforming today, CAD lagging
