Market View: Friday, April 3, 2026
The US dollar index remains in a holding pattern at 100; gold trades near $4,700, indecisive; EURUSD hovers near 1.15500, entirely driven by the USD; Bitcoin remains relatively calm near $67,000.
- The US dollar stabilized ahead of the NFP release later today.
- XAUUSD is supported by geopolitics, but low liquidity limits momentum.
- EURUSD is essentially drifting along with the greenback.
- Bitcoin doesn’t have strong impulses but feels no pressure either.
Today’s focus
| US Nonfarm Payrolls due at 15:30 MetaTrader time. |
FX snapshot
XAUUSD
Gold looks like an asset that doesn’t want to give up ground but is not ready for a breakout either, showing a classic pre-event case.
EURUSD
The pair trades within a narrow range as the euro lacks its own catalysts so far.
BTC
Bitcoin remains stable, awaiting liquidity inflows following the NFP results.
| Pair | Key support | Key resistance | Bias |
| XAUUSD | 4,550 | 4,800 | Consolidating |
| EURUSD | 1.15000 | 1.15600 | Consolidating |
| BTC | 66,000 | 68,000 | Consolidating |
Market sentiment
The market has turned quiet due to the Easter holidays in most Western countries – but it's calm before the data, as everyone is waiting for the NFP report to set the next move.
