Gold (GC) Nears 2023 High Ahead of FOMC

Gold (GC) is catching its breath after yesterday’s 1.5% plus surge, with GC now in the advanced stages of a consolidation since hitting a fresh 2023 high in April. With GC now comfortably back above the psychologically key 2k whole figure level, odds are elevated for a retest this week of upchannel/ascending wedge resistance (on the weekly chart)…

Nasdaq100 (NQ) Daily MACD Tries Positively Crossing

Nasdaq100 (NQ) is consolidating after surging more than 2.5% yesterday, and is trying to complete its 4th straight weekly Hammer or Doji. NQ is arguably back in the advanced stages of a Bull Flag near the 2023 high (formed in April), where it appears to be gearing up to retest in May, the weekly chart ascending wedge resistance and the 50% Fib retrace of the bear market from the November 2021 high (as can be seen more easily on a weekly chart on tradingview.com)…

USDCAD Weekly Chart Triangle Since October Near Complete

The USDCAD is consolidating after the strong gains of the past 2 weeks, but appears to have upside momentum to gravitate to triangle resistance (on the weekly chart) by early May sometime.

Nasdaq100 (NQ) is struggling to extend a Bull Flag near the 2023 high (formed in April).

S&P500 (ES) Tries Forming 3rd Straight Weekly Doji Near 2023 High

The S&P500 (ES) is consolidating after forming a fresh April high (Tuesday), beginning to struggle as it slips back beneath the 50% Fib retrace of the slide from the January 2022 high to October 2022 low (as can be seen more easily on a weekly chart on tradingview.com). Nevertheless, any regaining of the 2023 high formed February before month end will dramatically increase odds of testing the August high by May sometime…

Coffee Daily Apr 21, 2023

Arabica Coffee (KC) slid more than 3% yesterday, breaking the psychologically key 2 whole figure level and upchannel support (on the daily chart). Although further healthy profittaking is likely today after getting rejected yesterday at uptrend resistance (on the 4hr chart) at a fresh 2023 intraday high, any further selling next week would likely be mild…
