$EURUSD persistence at resistance
the big fig can't hold bulls back forever. This is why ascending triangles build - recurring tests of horizontal res as each res test carries a diminishing marginal impact https://t.co/AwQnKeY3tj https://t.co/ysnFADoh42


Ethereum $ETHUSD resistance showed up just after that 2500 spot.
this ran so hot of late that I don't have any support on the daily until ~2200 at the earliest https://t.co/0EBCwKhZBw https://t.co/qglG0jXJho


#Bitcoin goes right back to prior resistance, trying to set support $BTCUSD
looks like $Doge has been getting all of the love https://t.co/UpfxKOHX5t https://t.co/a5GTgrpIS2


$Gold broke through the neckline and has kept on the run. that weekly chart (img 2) looking really interesting
$GC with a dif feel in Q2 so far. https://t.co/ek8kIdq4vk https://t.co/CJrpReYyLi


$Gold making a move, testing above neckline resistance $GC https://t.co/ihw9shsh0Y https://t.co/v3Tmc1HRqi


Ethereum has been on a massive run of late, but 2500 may be a stumbling block or perhaps a pause point.
but major psych level + 161.8 fibo extension of prior counter-trend move.
counter-trend move took place after first incursion of 2k. will 2500 be a repeat?
$ETHUSD https://t.co/UpfxKOHX5t https://t.co/2AcNjCEht1
