Gold prices sliced through the key 2,000 level on Tuesday after a sharp drop in U.S. job openings in February. The yellow metal touched its highest in one year on Wednesday as recent U.S. economic data fanned fears of a slowdown and spurred bets the Federal Reserve may ease up on rate hikes. Following the public holiday on Friday, we were not able to see the immediate reaction of price action to the NFP reading which revealed additional 236,000 jobs in March. In this video, we took a technical dissection of the current market structure to identify a simple set-up to guide trading activities in the coming week(s).
