Open DepthMethod. Price, volume and order book from the Binance USDⓈ-M XAUUSDT perpetual (1 contract = 1 troy ounce, so quantities are in oz). The perpetual trades 24/7; spot gold has trading hours, and the sessions, the clock and the closed-market notes follow the CME Globex calendar (New York time) and the LBMA auction times (London time). The clock shows our XAUUSDT price at those times, not the LBMA auction price or the COMEX settlement price. Macro releases: FRED release dates and the Federal Reserve's FOMC calendar. A wall is "held" when trades hit it and price turned, "pulled" when it vanished within seconds with almost nothing traded, "eaten" when most of it was traded away. Times are UTC. Updated 28 Oct 10:05 UTC.
