Gold

The break above 2120 saw us retest the all time high at 2135. But we did not sustained the break & reversed from 2141.
A break above here is another buy signal initially targeting 2146/49, perhaps as far as 2160/62, but is possible gains will be more limited in severely overbought conditions.
I remain a buyer on any weakness (profit taking) although it is difficult to identify short term support levels because the move higher has been so fast on Friday & Monday.
We should have some support at the psychological number of 2105/2100 but I see the best support at 2093/90 & longs need stops below 2080.

WTI Crude April future

Unfortunately trading WTI Crude has not been so easy
It's 2 steps forward & 1 step backwards for this market.
Prices have broken back below 7980/7930 with a high for the day yesterday at 7949.
WTI Crude remains mostly in a sideways consolidation & keeps just finding new ranges.

We made a low for the day only 8 ticks below strong support at 7790/60 & longs worked perfectly on the bounce to my targets of 7860 & 7930, with a high for the day only 19 ticks above here.
We may have established a new short term range from 7790/60 up to 7930/70.
Same support at 7790/60 for a buying opportunity again today with stop below 7720.
Targets: 7860, 7930 & even 7970 is possible.
A break below 7720 today however risks a slide to 7690 & 7600/7580.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold bounces off lows, back above $5,100

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
