Price marked the day\u2019s low at 4181.97 at 21:41, then advanced to the session high at 4238.81 by 22:17 before easing slightly into the close, leaving the finish near the top end of the range and 10.22 below the peak. Trading traversed the 4200 round handle multiple times, opening above it, dipping into the 4100s on the intraday low, and closing back above 4200. The highest hundred-handle engaged during the session was 4200, while the 4100 hundred-handle contained the day\u2019s low; the 4300s were not reached. From a multi-day perspective, the 10\u2011day low at 4156.71 remained untested, with the intraday trough holding well above that reference. On the higher timeframes, the daily 50\u2011day simple moving average stood at 4105.17, with spot remaining comfortably above it throughout the session. Daily RSI(14) registered 80.57, indicating elevated momentum readings by that measure. By the close, the market had recovered most of the late pullback from the 21:41 low and retained gains within the upper quartile of the day\u2019s distribution, finishing 21.62 points above the prior session\u2019s close. The session\u2019s structure featured a late-day low followed by a swift push to fresh intraday highs and a firm close, consolidating action above the 4200 handle and keeping the recent floor at 4156.71 intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"849\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-01.jpg 849w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-01-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-01-150x76.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-01-768x391.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>EURUSD<br>EURUSD ended the session firm at 1.16933, up 0.00681 or 0.586% from the 1.16252 open, with a day\u2019s range of 0.00782, equal to 0.67% of the open. Price traced a low-before-high profile: the intraday low at 1.1621 printed at 05:06, and the high at 1.16992 arrived late at 22:16, leaving the close positioned near the top of the range (about 92.5% of the day\u2019s span). The advance carried the pair to fresh 5\u2011 and 10\u2011day highs, while the session stayed within the 1.16 handle; the peak at 1.16992 stopped just short of the 1.1700 figure, and the trough remained above 1.1600. Intraday action unfolded within a relatively orderly progression, with early weakness contained above the prior round-number floor and persistent bid into the US afternoon taking the pair toward the round-number cap without a clean handle change. By the close, the market had consolidated just below 1.1700, leaving a narrow gap between the high and settlement and underscoring the upper-range finish. No tick volume or ATR context was provided for comparison, but the recorded range and the session\u2019s high-water mark suffice to flag a notable extension on the day. Overall, EURUSD delivered a directional day higher within the 1.16s, carving out new multi-day highs, setting the low in the early European hours, and finishing near session highs late in the evening server time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-02.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-02-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-02-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-02-768x397.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USOIL<br>USOUSD advanced on the session, settling at 58.98, up 0.58 or 0.993% from the prior close. The day spanned a 1.37 range, equal to 2.35% of the open. Price opened at 58.4, slipped below the 58.0 handle to register the session low at 57.68 at 18:04, then climbed into the late hours to print the high at 59.05 at 22:23 before ending just under 59.0. The close stood near the top of the day\u2019s range, with the intraday profile marked by a dip under 58.0 followed by a push through 59.0 and a finish only marginally off the peak. Round-number levels were in play, with a brief break above 59.0 and earlier trade beneath 58.0. On the daily timeframe, the close sits fractionally below the Bollinger mid line at 59.15, while the intraday low undercut the daily lower Bollinger band at 57.77 before recovering back inside the envelope by the close. Daily RSI14 printed 53.9, and on H4 the MACD remains below zero at -0.23. Overall, the session closed higher than it opened, with the high made late and the low established earlier in the afternoon, leaving price near the upper extreme into the close within a moderate intraday span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ad-fx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-03.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-03-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-03-150x73.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adfxzh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/12-10-03-768x376.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic Calendar Recap &amp; Preview<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central bank decisions set the tone over the past day: the Bank of Canada announced its policy move at 16:45 server time after a prior 2.25 percent policy rate, and the Federal Reserve released its rate decision at 21:00 following a prior 4.0 percent. Looking ahead, at 12:00 server time BoE Governor Bailey speaks, an engagement that can shape sterling and gilt expectations. The main data point arrives at 15:30 with US Initial Jobless Claims, expected at 196,000 after 191,000 previously; a higher reading would suggest softening labor demand, which typically reduces wage pressure. No other major releases are scheduled, but the claims print can still generate short\u2011term volatility in front\u2011end rates and the dollar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market Recap XAUUSDXAUUSD added 0.51% on Wednesday, settling at 4228.59 after a 4206.97 open, with a 56.84 range that equated to 1.35% of the open.
