Mixed data on much awaited NFP initially dropped Gold straight to $2350 quickly followed by resurgence to $2380, retracement to $2372 and finally docked at $2385 day high perch on frenzied rally.

As the momentum takes a breather from day high $2385, price action is likely to witness sideways trades with slightly downward shift in bias which may be considered as a logical retracement to breakout zone of $2372 followed by a test of $2368-$2355 local demand area.

Further downward correction needs strong break below $2355 for extension of correctional wave towards Fair Value Gap left at $2337-$2327-$2319

As long as horizontal support zone $2372-$2368 is intact, uptrend is unchallenged with potential advance towards $2430-$2450 over an extended period of time which does get affirmation from Weekly close above $2380
