Non-farm

It caused gold to drop by $100!!!Due to the release of the February non-farm payroll data, gold fell nearly $100. This month, we will soon face the baptism of another major non-farm payroll data, which is a great opportunity for gold traders. As long as we grasp the trend correctly, the profit from a single trade can be considerable. This data will be released on March 10th. As of the close on March 3, gold has broken through the resistance level of $1850, and the next resistance level of $1860 is within sight. Therefore, in next week's trading, I will continue to go long on gold until the trend changes. I have also prepared myself for the release of the non-farm payroll data, and I believe the results will be very friendly. Let's wait and see. Here, I will explain how non-farm payroll data affects the price of gold: The number of non-farm payroll employees is the main indicator of the US employment market, and its impact on gold is significant. Generally, if the non-farm payroll employment number is higher than expected, it means that the US employment and economy are improving, which is good for the US dollar but likely to cause gold to fall. Conversely, if the employment number is lower than expected, it means that the US employment and economy are declining, which is bad for the US dollar but likely to cause gold to rise. Of course, this is not entirely certain , as unexpected situations may arise. For example, sometimes the market may move in the opposite direction to the data, where the released data is better than the previous value (i.e. bullish data), but gold prices fall. Conversely, sometimes the data is bearish, yet gold prices rise. There are many reasons for this, such as the difference between the released data and the forecast being too small to make a significant impact, the market having already priced in the information before the data release, or other events occurring simultaneously that have a greater impact on the market. Therefore, when trading, we must pay attention to these aspects of influence and not rely solely on the positive or negative aspects of the data to decide whether to go long or short. I have prepared myself for trading non-farm payroll data, so follow me and let's maximize our profits together!

USDJPY Possible Trade Opportunities. RetrenchmentOrContinuation? A strong U.S equities market and risk-friendly trading environment have helped push and breakout USD/JPY above a descending trend line on the 1-hour time frame. The pair were consolidated for a while London entered but then somehow the global positive risk sentiment news concern to coronavirus saying "China finding an effective drug to treat people with new coronavirus" pump the pair little higher but I guess there was some more hidden reason for price acting that manner earlier. Before the U.S. ADP report only a few hours away USD/JPY’s may have some possible retracement opportunity if today’s U.S. ADP report prints lower than market already weak expectations. We could see USD/JPY give up some of its gains and revisit 109.063 and this case should be considered to buy the rumors sell the news case. As we can see, the fib 38.2% level lines up with the previous resistance level 109.063 which is a good take profit level for bearish bias traders if the ADP forecast ends up being the actual or even worst. If today’s ADP release prints better than expected, then we could see USD/JPY trade higher without a significant retracement and bullish momentum may not fade away which will lead to some more new fresh buyers in this major pair!

USD/JPY Stays Neutral and Waiting NFPNon-farm payrolls report will be released later today. At the same time next week Fed will meet regarding their monetary policy. A weak NFP report may raise the chances of a Fed rate cut in March, but we don’t think it’s going to influence the Fed at its next meeting on December 11. Risk appetite is also wobbly, which means that a softer report could have a bigger impact on USD/JPY pair, one of the most sensitive pair to the market sentiment. If this is the case, the USD should keeps declining. The pair will meet supports at 108.00, 106.80, and 104.45. Short-term pullback should continue to show opportunities for buying, as the 50-day SMA is now starting to cross above the 200-day SMA. We're looking for Buy position around 108.00 with the nearest TP target at 109.50. As long as 108.27/00 support area holds, rise from 104.45 remains mildly in favor to resume. The appreciating USD will push the pair to highs at 109.51 (upper line of daily BBs), 110.89, and 112. And, of course, don't forget that the focus for USD/JPY traders will continue to be on the progress of U.S.-China trade talks. So, each Trump's tweet could bring volatility. What do you think?

NFP Prewiew and EUR/USDUS Non-Farm Payrolls report will be the major focus today. Most of the economists are expecting US NFP to post reading in between 183-200K in November. In addition, they are forecasting the unemployment rate to remain between 3.5-3.6% for the month. Average hourly earnings growth is expected to pick up to 0.3% mom. Still, there are signs that the jobs report could disappoint. Firstly, the ADP jobs data released on Wednesday showed that only 67K private payrolls were added. Secondly, the four-week average claims increased to 217K from 215K. Consumer confidence data from the Conference Board declined for 4th straight months while the employment component of the ISM manufacturing data continued to decline. If job growth falls short of expectations and wage growth fails to improve like economists anticipated, USD/JPY could fall toward 108 and EUR/USD could extend its gains to 1.1150/80. You can looking also for bullish trades in NZD/USD, which recently saw a major breakout to 4-month highs and may have further to run from here. In the event the jobs and the wage data beat expectations, then we would favor looking for short-term bullish trades in USD/JPY, which remains in a near-term uptrend. Technically, EUR/USD is along the upper line of the Bollinger Bands on the 4-hour chart. The RSI indicator is slightly below the overbought level of 70. We’re looking for the market to get a little overbought on a short-term time frame and to start shorting again for a very small trade. Until 1.1066 minor support is intact, further rise is still in favor. Corrective decline form 1.1179 could have completed at 1.0981. Rise from there would target a test on 1.1179 first. Break above that level will resume whole rally form 1.0879. However, a clear break of 1.1066 (daily 100 SMA) will turn bias back to the downside for testing 1.0981 instead. You can share in the comments bellow what's your trading strategy for today.

EURUSD. Turning Up now. Perhaps, NFP tomorrow will take EU back up. Regardless, trade the breakout from 1hr. consolidation period (fast). Red box is just there to help define theoretical high/low period. It's your job to find the 1 hr. high/low period at the bottom. Trading Criteria: Regardless which way you want to trade, look for minimum five 4hr. candles in consolidation zones (yellow border boxes), or five daily candles for solid yellow boxes. If you're a pattern trader or pinbar trader, this might be useful here. Wait for a significant breakout of the 4hr. consolidation or daily consolidation from red border boxes to take the trade. Red border boxes are the High/Low of a consolidation period inside the consolidation zone. I usually aim for 80% of the weekly ATR (or monthly ATR for yellow solid boxes) taking profit but not always at the next yellow box. I place my stop loss above/below red border box. *These zones, with the inclusion of price action described above, have remarkable accuracy. Yellow border box: weekly consolidation zone Yellow solid box: monthly consolidation zone Red border box: High/Low breakout box (5 minimum candles) Grey solid box: monthly grid block

How to know when stuff are rigged ? NFP, indices, gold price ...August 8, 2016 This is an abstract from my one of my blogs: www.lucky-index-trading.blogspot.com Compare this chart with my previous publication and comments So, from my experience, this is how it worked (and obviously I am merely stating a little portion of the big picture, but so far this "luckily" was enough to help predicting some moves based on correlation). Last Friday's US Non-farm Payroll (NFP - August 5, 2016) was apparently rigged according to some sources. Well, we did not really need to know how the fundamental worked to know the blue print would be "good" and thereby certainly pushing prices up, as the odds for indices to head upward was higher than otherwise. Let me explain. Do you remember the previous article I posted on July 31st, 2016? Yes, the one with the forecast of the CAC. So I was saying that a false breakout from the 4300-4450 range could occur (target: 4600). The CAC 40 did exactly range last week (August 1-5), going from about 4480 to as low as 4293 and now it is back to 4440 at the time I am writing this post. The trading range was perfectly supported by price action, supports / resistances, and so on. But moreover, if was also confirmed by the NFP's result, "fundamentally" pushing up on the CAC and making it soar from 4360 to 4410, therefore confirming the 4300-4450 range as previously stated in article 174 of the blog). Now, the SP500 made a new all-time record, and the Dow Jones soared along with the NASDAQ. What I mean is that it was totally predictable, because no matter what European indices had to go up, technically speaking. So in order to push the markets higher, data had to be manipulated.On the other hand, I made a forecast 2 years ago on Gold (XAUUSD), stating it would go as low as 1080 and then going back to 1367 (see article 118 + related charts). Since gold price reached 1370, it had to pullback (ie. go down). Given that it is for the time being negatively correlated with stock market indices, then if the Dow Jones is up, gold price will decrease. And this is exactly what we wanted since the target of roughly 1350-1367 was reached ! Therefore, from solely using gold price forecast and European price forecast, we could infer that the NFP result would be good, and send American indices to the sky. This is in my sense manipulation, and the bubble will probably burst next year. My take is that indices will globally shift downward in 1 or 2 months. CAC 40, Daily chart (see post from July 31st -> 2016-2018 forecast) -> It exactly did start to range from 4300 to 4450 !

Gold vs Dollarwe have a minor and a major channel in daily. if we break the minor channel ( break the red line ) heading upwards, we can buy till we head to the top of the major channel and watch for price action there, we will either break the major channel confirming medium term buy or we test the end of the channel one more time heading down. or we break the minor channel to the downside and inside of going up first, we go down to the end of the major channel before heading back up again. remember that this pair is bullish so upside is in favour in general.
