■ This Week’s Gold Market Environment
Weekly Gold Movement Image (4/28–5/2)
This week, gold began near $4,705 and declined to $4,541 ahead of the 4/30 FOMC. When the FOMC statement was interpreted as dovish, short-covering pushed it up sharply to $4,646 (about +$100). This rebound presented the largest take-profit opportunity for grid-type EAs this week.
On 5/1 (GW first day), Japanese market participants were scarce, and prices fell again to the $4,480 range. Later, it settled around $4,490–$4,510 for the weekend. The two-stage movement—rebound after FOMC and subsequent pullback—characterizes this week.

This Week’s CHAOS_GOLD Unrealized Loss Movement Image (in yen)
This week CHAOS_GOLD operated Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (Thursday off). It accumulated positions during gold’s decline on 4/29–4/30, with unrealized losses expanding to a maximum of -500,885 yen before FOMC. After the FOMC rebound, losses improved significantly to -268,524 yen by Thursday's end. On 5/1 GW’s first day, two more positions were added, ending the week at 24 positions with unrealized losses of -315,700 yen carried into the weekend.
The 5/1 (Fri) 18:00 settlement decision did not reach a single-profit closure due to overall negative P/L. With maintenance margin of 5,849% and ample capital buffer, the key settlement opportunity is likely at the U.S. employment data (NFP) on 5/8 (Fri).
■ Next Week’s Outlook (5/4–5/8)
Be mindful of the Japanese three-day weekend (5/4 Mon, 5/5 Tue, 5/6 Wed)
Japan markets will be closed 5/4–5/6. U.S. and Europe operate as usual, so liquidity will be thin and movements may trend one-way. In particular, ISM Non-Manufacturing Index and JOLTS on 5/5 (Tue) will be announced with no Japanese presence; expect volatility.
5/8 (Fri) 21:30 U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) as the major turning point
