Weak reaction to shooting incident, fell to $4,673 then rebounded to $4,705

The notable Monday gap opened with almost a flat start, contrary to expectationsnear-flat start. Trading began near $4,700, close to the previous day’s close of $4,703. Market participants who expected an upside gap of $50–$100 after the White House shooting dinner were left disappointed.

Because physical damage was minimal and both President Trump and the suspect’s situation was promptly clarified, geopolitical premium did not get priced in early. As Asia hours progressed, selling led, pushing to around $4,673. It retraced toward last week’s lows.

After bottoming at $4,673, there was a rebound around Europe OPEN, briefly back to around $4,720. However, the upside remained heavy, and by 21:00 it was pressed back to around $4,705. Today’s range is about $47. Attention shifts to the FOMC meeting from the day after tomorrow (4/29–30), with the market in a calm waiting mode.

Today’s Shoukinryu+2,906 yenwas realized. Starting the week with zero positions, RSI entry triggered during Asia hours’ decline, building a staggered buy set in the $4,721–$4,702 range. The chart shows green arrows (buy entries) repeatedly, indicating a clean accumulation on pullbacks.

As of 21:00, holding 10 positions. Unrealized loss is -13,430 yen, up from zero last Friday, but still a small portion relative to an account balance of 1.38 million yen. Margin maintenance rate is18,328%with ample headroom.

At the $4,720 rebound high, partial profit-taking occurred, realizing +2,906 yen. If price consolidates near $4,705 after tonight’s NY session, there will be a chance to take profit on the remaining 10 positions. The spread was wide at 27 pips during Asia hours but tightens to normal levels as Europe and NY hours approach.

CHAOS_GOLD adds two buy positions in Japanese time at 4:00 and 18:00 as a Monday trading day. From 12 positions at last Friday’s close to14 positions today. Today’s realized profit is ±0 yen, but further moves will depend on upcoming developments.

The anticipated upside gap on Monday failed to materialize, leading to a drop to $4,673 and a rebound to $4,720, finally returning near $4,705. Nevertheless, margin maintenance rate remains11,637%with ample cushion.

Tomorrow 4/28 (Tue) is a normal trading day. The day after is 4/29 (Wed) also a trading day, and 4/30 (Thu) coincides with the FOMC announcement; CHAOS_GOLD trades on Thursdays as a rule, so the maximum volatility spike is avoided automatically. The design’s built-in safety features help mitigate risk in line with incidental events.

Monday’s market reaction to the shooting incident seemed calmer than expected. With geopolitical premium largely priced out, this week’s movement is likely to be driven by financial policy events such as FOMC, PCE, and employment data.FOMC, PCE, and jobs data will shape the directionthis week.

The week’s direction will depend on the Fed’s rate-cut decisions. If a dovish stance is shown, gold could benefit; conversely, if the data emphasizes economic resilience, there could be temporary selling pressure. News on the weekend incident remains a material risk to watch.

• $4,700 battle: Today’s closing price whether it can hold at $4,700 directly affects the direction tomorrow
• FOMC meeting (4/29-30): The week’s biggest event, focus on rate-cut decisions
• US PCE deflator (4/30): Double event with FOMC, volatility likely to expand
• CHAOS_GOLD 14-position unwind: Aiming for lump-sum profit-taking around the FOMC

From tomorrow 4/28 onward, price action should shift to be FOMC-aware. For both EAs, news filter and spread filter will automatically activate around key indicators, acting as safety to cover maximum volatility moments.
