The Euro gapped UP on Thursday morning and never looked back,
with a narrow trading-range it closed the session up near the highs of the
day. This price-action suggests that the
buyers were able to hold onto the gains from Wednesday to Thursday and with the
close near the highs we see that the buyers were just as strong at the end of
the session, so we are looking for a bullish opening-print this morning at
820am EST to tell us to keep buying.
Look for an opening-print this morning inside the range from yesterday and
we will treat this market personality as a sideways-trading-range for Friday.

Gold also traded higher on Thursday with a large gap UP from Wednesday’s
trading session and the buyers never stopped buying. We saw a narrow trading-range on Thursday
with a closing-print near the highs of the day, which suggests that today may
be filled with some fireworks. We will
be looking for a bullish opening-print above the PHOD this morning for clues to
start buying pullbacks at the open. If
we open inside the range from yesterday we will consider this morning to be a sideways-trading-range
and will trade it accordingly.
