A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
The S&P500 stock benchmark plunged into the red for the year this week as an Nvidia-led selloff, economic slowdown fears and re-ignited trade war fears jarred while the dollar surged anew.
Following Big Tech megacaps and small cap indexes into negative territory for 2025, the S&P500 plunged 1.5% on Thursday as U.S. jobless claims saw their biggest weekly jump in five months and President Donald Trump warned more tariff rises are coming as soon as next week.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART – Outside week
At a minimum, the 8 week pattern of higher lows/higher highs was broken by an outside week. This leaves the focus on last week’s low at 2877 to see iit finishes the day below it for an outside week key reversal.
So far, 2852 support has held, which is close enough to the pivotal 2850 to make this level the one to watch on the downside (I always pay attention when the “50” level is involved). Below that is 2834 and then a void to aub-2800.
On the upaise. A close above 2777 and a move above 2888 would be needed to ease the risk

An Outside Month Key Reversal is a technical analysis pattern that signals a potential trend reversal in financial markets, often seen in stocks, commodities, or forex.
What is it?
It happens when the price action of the current month:
1. Trades both higher and lower than the previous month’s range (making an outside bar).
2.Closes above the previous month’s high (for a bullish reversal) or closes below the previous month’s low (for a bearish reversal).
Bullish Outside Month Key Reversal
• Current month low is lower than the previous month’s low.
• Current month high is higher than the previous month’s high.
• Close is above the previous month’s high.
• This signals a possible uptrend reversal.
Bearish Outside Month Key Reversal
• Current month high is higher than the previous month’s high.
• Current month low is lower than the previous month’s low.
• Close is below the previous month’s low.
• This signals a possible downtrend reversal.
Key Points:
• The larger the volume, the stronger the signal.
• It works better after a prolonged trend.
• Monthly charts provide stronger signals than daily or weekly charts.
