Price covered 100.01 points, or 2.17% of the open, and the close sat in the lower third of the&nbsp;day\u2019s&nbsp;range. The high printed early at 03:12 at 4610.3, with trade briefly above the 4600&nbsp;figure, before&nbsp;price&nbsp;moved lower into the afternoon to set the low at 16:45 at 4510.29. That low established new 5\u2011day and 10\u2011day troughs and remained just above 4500. Into the late session, XAUUSD recovered from the lows and settled at 4543.47 by 23:57. The intraday profile progressed from an early high to a mid\u2011afternoon low, with bounces not extending back to the 4600 area and the session holding above 4500. The close was about one\u2011third up from the low, leaving the range bounded by 4610.3 on the top and 4510.29 at the base. On higher&nbsp;timeframes, H4 RSI14 posted 22.92 and D1 RSI14 was 34.08. In context of recent swings, the instrument remained below the 10\u2011day high at 4889.35. The day moved from an early high to an afternoon low and ended with a rebound that left the close below the session midpoint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-49.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-49.png 864w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-49-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-49-150x70.png 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-49-768x357.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>USOIL<br>USOIL ended the session at 110.15, up 8.9 or 8.79% from an open at 101.25, after setting the day\u2019s high at 110.2 at 23:59 and the low at 100.05 at 05:25. The intraday range spanned 10.15, equal to 10.02% of the open and about 159.1% of the prevailing D1 ATR. Price crossed the 110\u00a0handle\u00a0late and settled 0.15 above it, placing the close within 0.05 of the session high and at the extreme top of the day\u2019s distribution. The sequence featured an early\u00a0dip toward the 100\u00a0figure, followed by steady gains into the close, with the late print marking fresh 5\u2011day and 10\u2011day highs. By the final\u00a0bell\u00a0the market stood well above the H1 20\u2011period SMA at\u00a0105.22, and\u00a0remained far from the 5\u2011day low at 94.87. In round\u2011number terms, the session pivoted around three figures: the slide paused just above 100 in the early\u00a0hours,\u00a0the advance traversed the\u00a0105 area\u00a0mid\u2011session, and the push into the final fix reclaimed and held the 110\u00a0handle. The close near the high left minimal pullback from the late extension, and the day\u2019s expansion in range relative to its average underscored the outsized move versus recent daily swings. Overall, the trough formed shortly after the session\u00a0began\u00a0and the peak arrived\u00a0into\u00a0the final minute, leaving settlement anchored at the top of the intraday corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-50.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-50.png 864w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-50-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-50-150x71.png 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-50-768x363.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>EURUSD&nbsp;<br>EURUSD ended the session at 1.16714, down 0.00376 or -0.321% from the 1.1709 open, after traversing a 0.00593 range (0.51% of the open). Price set the&nbsp;day\u2019s&nbsp;high at 1.172 at 03:04 before sliding to the low at 1.16607 at 21:47, with the close positioned toward the lower end of the intraday range. The session interacted repeatedly with the 1.17 round level, opening just above it, printing the high shortly after, and then trading beneath it into the close. The late-day&nbsp;trough&nbsp;registered fresh 5\u2011day and 10\u2011day lows, while the session high remained below the 5\u2011day high at 1.17543 and the 10\u2011day high at 1.18485. On shorter\u2011term trend metrics,&nbsp;price&nbsp;finished under the H1 21\u2011EMA at 1.16906 after spending the early part of the session above that reference. On H4, MACD was near zero on the negative side. Structurally, the market&nbsp;established&nbsp;its peak early and progressed toward the low into the evening, leaving the settlement closer to the session low than the high. No daily ATR context or tick volume was provided. Overall, the day presented a contained but directional move that kept EURUSD constrained beneath nearby multi\u2011day reference highs and concluded below the intraday moving average yardstick, with the new 5\u2011 and 10\u2011day lows marking the most notable landmarks of the session.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-48.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-48.png 864w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-48-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-48-150x70.png 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-48-768x357.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Economic Calendar Recap &amp; Preview<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rates held steady across North America over the last day: the Bank of Canada kept its policy rate at 2.0 percent, unchanged from 2.0 previously, and the Federal Reserve left its benchmark at 3.75 percent, matching the prior 3.75.
