Is NFP non-agricultural data good or bad for gold?At the beginning of the Asian session on August 1, spot gold fluctuated in a narrow range and is currently trading around $2,436/ounce. Gold prices rose by nearly $40 on Wednesday.
The interest rate remained unchanged in yesterday's Federal Reserve meeting, which was in line with market expectations. Powell's speech later gave news of a possible interest rate cut in September and the increasingly tense situation in the Middle East. Gold prices will face new large fluctuations.
The upcoming non-agricultural data will surely attract a large number of gold investors.
Do you think this wave of gold is good or bad?

Gold Daily Analysis and forecast !! Massive drop expectedGood day Traders !!
Daily : On the Daily timeframe we clearly have a downtrend channel and we have been respecting it since early August 2020 and we expect to reach the lower trendline soon. We have an "M" formation that was printed last week and we expect the price to retest the neckline before the continuation of the impulse correction impulse pattern. We might be looking at a day or two of retracement before the huge move to the downside. Also we have a confluence of resistance at this area since it's the 0.382 FIB level and we would like to see the market retrace to that level after an overextended "M" formation.
From an institutional perspective we have on Gold a massive drop of the Net position since we went from 280,000 Net position back in early January until 190,000 on the last report that was posted last Friday.
Also during the last four report institutions have added a lot of short position and closed close to 50,000 Long position. This is a sign of the very bearish move that is expected.
