Gold clings firmly to its coveted $1,900 handle!
The stage is set for an intriguing turn of events, especially in the wake of a milder-than-anticipated U.S. jobs report for June. This unexpected twist suggests a potential dampening of the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance as its policymakers prepare for their upcoming rate review in three weeks.

In the face of this economic backdrop, gold staged a remarkable rally following the Labor Department's revelation on Friday that June witnessed a lower-than-expected addition of 209,000 new hires, with revised figures for May at 306,000 (a downward adjustment of 33,000), the unemployment rate exhibited a decline from 3.7% to 3.6% in June. Moreover, average hourly earnings saw a mirrored increase of 0.4%, matching May's growth.

While the mid-week exerted pressure on gold, it emerged triumphant, holding firm above the $1,900 mark and even recovering some of its losses. This feat has set the stage for a potential surge in bullish momentum, teasing us with anticipation for the week ahead. The prevailing market sentiment remains unabashedly bullish, with traders seizing the momentary weaknesses as an opportune time to enter the market.

Note
Although the week began with a bearish tone following the breakdown of the support levels at $1,922.50 and $1,925, it is important to acknowledge that we are currently facing a critical moment in the market that demands patience. Our expectation is for the downtrend to continue once the $1,922.50 and $1,919.50 levels are broken and retested. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and seek substantial confirmation before considering any buying opportunities around the identified levels on the chart for buying opportunities. We will delve into this structure extensively during our upcoming live session.
