πŸ“Š Technical Analysis β€” April 10, 2026

β–  Overview

Core Market Theme

πŸ‘‰ Risk-on continuation + metals rally + persistent JPY weakness

However:
πŸ‘‰ Oil and natural gas are weakening in contrast

➑️ This creates a highly distinctive market environment

β–  Key Drivers

1. Cross JPY pairs remain extremely strong

  • GBP/JPY: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • CHF/JPY: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • AUD/JPY: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • CAD/JPY: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • EUR/JPY: Strong buy from M15 and above

πŸ‘‰ JPY weakness remains the primary driver

2. Precious metals are the strongest asset class

  • Gold: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • Silver: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • XAU/USD: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • XAG/USD: Strong buy across all timeframes

πŸ‘‰ The main driver is metals, not oil

3. Equity markets are also very strong

  • S&P 500: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • Nasdaq 100: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • DAX: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • Nikkei: Strong buy across all timeframes

πŸ‘‰ Broad-based global equity rally

4. USD is not broadly strong β€” selective weakness

  • EUR/USD: Strong buy
  • GBP/USD: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • AUD/USD: Strong buy across all timeframes
  • USD/CHF: Strong sell across all timeframes

πŸ‘‰ USD weakness is expanding

However:

  • USD/JPY remains bullish on the daily timeframe

πŸ‘‰ USD is still firm vs JPY, but weak vs EUR and commodity currencies

5. Oil and natural gas are weak

  • WTI: Strong sell (short to mid-term)
  • Natural Gas: Strong sell across all timeframes

πŸ‘‰ Energy is clearly the weakest commodity sector
