The American Session today was of no interest today as by being a Good Friday today most of the major markets remained closed and hence no significant market activity. The Euro against the American Dollar followed a sluggish 25pip downwards movement to record a session low of 1.4531. It is of great interest the fact that the 1.4531 low is the Fibonacci 23.6% support level that was also yesterday’s low that was tested twice and once again it has been proven to be a very strong support level. The currency pair is currently traded at 1.4547 while major action is not expected to be visible until Tuesday where the Easter Holidays will terminate.
The Sterling was traded in a sort of range behavior. A sign of a downwards movement was developed until the midsession that resulted to a session low of 1.6501. Following that low there was recovery in the next two hours bringing the British Pound to 1.6512. Lack of activity in the market was obvious from the fact that the difference in pips between the session high and low was only 34 pips.
The Swiss Franc also traded in a sluggish 33pip range session. Most of the significant volatility was developed between 15:00GMT and19:00GMT where the candle sizes appeared to be of greater size. Overall the Dollar is struggling to recover against the Swiss Franc. Since the American Session yesterday until the end of today’s Asian Session it has recorded 90 pips gains while it failed to continue doing so after. The USDCHF pair is currently traded at 0.8851
The American Dollar recorded some minor pip gains against the Canadian one. With the market reaching the week’s closing session combined with the fact that major markets are closed as a result of the Easter holidays it is not possible to make conclusion from today’s market activity. Nevertheless it appears that the USD is making some gradual gains since the 0.9472 3.5 years long from yesterday in a week that the USD has struggled majorly.
The precious Gold is continuing its impressive streak with today’s newest all-time high being at 1511.24. During the US session however it was traded in a range with no significant changes. This has been one of the most favorable weeks for Gold and other commodities that recorded major gains taking advantage of the drop of the American greenback.

Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they get updated every time you visit a website.

Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyse how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log in sessions, meaning that when you log in to the Members Area to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
In addition, functional cookies, for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently.
