Gold trades lower on the week

Gold is lower on the week

 Gold  , like  crude oil  , is closing near unchanged/lower on the week despite mid week spikes on the back of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The spike high in yesterday's trading, saw the price move up to a high of $1974.40. That took the price to the highest level since September 2020.

After trading to that high, the price settled yesterday at $1902.94.

The current price is trading at $1892.50. A week ago on Friday, the price settled at $1898.23.

Looking at the daily chart, the 50% midpoint of the range since reaching the all-time high price of $2075.14 back in August 2020 comes in at $1876.02. The low price for the week - which also was reached during yesterday's trade - reached $1878.25. That is near the high from November 2021 at $1877.15. If the selling continues in the new trading week, getting below that percent and swing high would tilt the bias more to the downside from a technical perspective.

Like the price of crude, the price of gold is a buy the rumour, and then sell the news (with a failed break higher in between).

The question into the new week of trading will be "Does the selling continue?" or "Will support near the 50%, hold support?

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
