- April Gold dropped sharply lower in the second half of trading last week after breaking down Monday’s VRCB formation to close just off the weekly lows erasing the gains of the prior 2 weeks.

- The March Euro FX moved sharply higher on Friday before stopping just three ticks shy of the 2012 highs yet closed outside both the daily and weekly RBB.
