Markets hesitant, GOLD sideways on NFP data dayIn the Asian trading session on Friday (March 7), the spot OANDA:XAUUSD maintained a very slight decline during the day and the current gold price is around 2,911 USD/ounce. On this trading day, investors will pay attention to the US non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to impact the main trends in the gold market. The US non-farm payrolls are expected to increase by 160,000 in February. Gold is likely to react more strongly to disappointing employment data than to an optimistic non-farm payrolls report because this will push gold prices higher, ending the period of downward adjustment and subsequent recovery and accumulation in the past. The US will release its February non-farm payrolls report at 20:30 Hanoi time on Friday. Surveys show that the number of non-farm payrolls in the US will increase by 160,000 in February, after increasing by 143,000 in January. The US unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.0% in February. Surveys also show that the monthly increase in average wages in the US is expected to slow to 0.3% in February, after increasing by 0.5% in January. Average hourly earnings are likely to increase at an annual rate of 4.1% in February. The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring signs of weakness in the labor market as it tries to balance supporting the labor market and controlling inflation. The slowdown in employment data certainly adds complexity to the Fed’s decision-making process. Review of expected data: A large negative surprise in non-farm payrolls, at 100,000 or lower, could put significant pressure on the dollar and open the door for a move higher in gold to help it end the week on the positive side. On the other hand, if the non-farm payrolls figure reaches or exceeds 180k, the dollar could remain firm and limit the upside potential for gold. Technical outlook for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold is still in the process of accumulation before receiving a strong impact of structural change from NFP data released today. Up to now, the upward momentum is limited but short-term price declines are supported from the base price area of ​​2,900 USD, this is considered the closest support to pay attention to readers in the previous publication. Technically, the short-term trend is currently unclear as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also moving sideways in the 60-50 range, indicating that market sentiment is still hesitant. However, considering the overall fundamental and technical picture, my personal opinion is to defend the bullish view, with each decline only being considered a short-term correction or a buying opportunity. During the day, the technical outlook for gold continues to target the technical level of 2,942 USD in the short term, more than the all-time high. Notable positions will also be listed as follows. Support: 2,900 - 2,880 USD Resistance: 2,942 - 2,956 USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 2976 - 2974⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2980 →Take Profit 1 2968 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2962 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 2877 - 2879⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2873 →Take Profit 1 2885 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2891

Gold purchase strategy continues to prioritize. Target 500 pips!Dear friends! Gold continues to trade negatively for the second consecutive day, despite a combination of factors still acting as key drivers ahead of the crucial U.S. NFP report at the end of this Friday. Rising trade tensions continue to put pressure on investor sentiment. As mentioned on the 1-hour chart, the daily chart for XAU/USD shows little change for the second consecutive day. However, at the same time, it also records lower highs and lower lows, shifting the risk bias to the downside. Nevertheless, the short-term picture indicates that buyers are struggling to maintain control, with the 34 EMA having reversed, increasing the risk for sellers. As a result, the downside potential remains limited, with dips likely to continue attracting buyers. Key short-term levels to consider: Support: 2,894 | 2,876 Resistance: 2,911 | 2,927

XAGUSD Price Forecast: Key Levels & Trade Setups Explained👀 👉 XAGUSD (Silver) is currently trading at the upper boundary of its current range. On the weekly timeframe, it is positioned near the high of the previous week's range. Shifting to the daily timeframe, we observe that price is trading at the high of yesterday's session, suggesting it is testing this level and potentially targeting buy-side liquidity. While my overall bias remains bullish, I anticipate a pullback from this level. A counter-trend short could be considered in the short term, with the expectation of a retracement into equilibrium, as outlined in the accompanying video. Once we observe a bullish break of structure, this could signal an opportunity to go long on the pullback. As always, this analysis is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice.

From watching to taking action, it is time to short goldNon-farm payroll data continues to improve, and the unemployment rate remains at a historical low. This not only enhances the attractiveness of the US dollar, but also weakens the charm of gold as a safe-haven asset. Usually, the US dollar and gold have an inverse fluctuation relationship. The strong US dollar puts the price of gold denominated in US dollars under downward pressure. From the trend point of view. Compared with long and short positions, shorting is still slightly stronger. At present, the price of gold fluctuates in a narrow range around 2917. There is no major news to boost or suppress the price of gold in the short term. Therefore, after consuming a certain amount of long power, the shorts will regain control of the situation, and there will be very good trading opportunities for shorting gold. Now we are long gold around 2920-2925. The target is 2910-2905 area. Wish us good luck! Brothers, have you followed me to short gold? If you follow the trading strategy I mentioned above, you can easily make a profit of more than 200 pips today, which is a very good trading result. If there are brothers who want to make money as a part of life, welcome to follow my article at the bottom!

Platinum at Key Support Zone – Will Buyers Step In?OANDA:XPTUSD is approaching a significant support zone, marked by prior price reactions and strong buying interest. This area has previously acted as a key demand zone, increasing the likelihood of a bullish bounce if buyers step in. If the price confirms support within this zone through bullish price action—such as long lower wicks or bullish engulfing candles—we could see a reversal toward 978.700, a logical target based on previous market structure and price behavior. However, if the price breaks below this support zone and sustains, the bullish outlook would be invalidated, potentially leading to further downside. Just my take on support and resistance zones—not financial advice. Always confirm your setups and trade with solid risk management. Best of luck!

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, We sound like a broken record but once again a great day on the markets with our chart idea playing out, as analysed. We had a repeat of yesterday with no lock above 2921 once again, which followed with the rejection into the lower Goldturn for the support test and bounce back into 2921, perfectly inline with our plans to buy dips. We are safely buying dips in this range, while price is bouncing between both the weighted Goldlturns. Once again we will now wait for ema5 to lock for a continuation or a rejection back into lower Goldturns. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. BULLISH TARGET 2872 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2872 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2901 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2901 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2921 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2921 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2950 BEARISH TARGETS 2846 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2846 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 2820 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2820 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 2796 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2796 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2778 - 2753 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

Gold real-time market trend analysis and operation suggestionsGold technically experienced a wide range of long and short fluctuations in the volatile trading. The price rebounded slightly in the Asian and European sessions, and then fell below 2922 in the afternoon European session. In the evening, the US session accelerated downward and broke through the 2900 integer mark to reach 2894, stabilized and rebounded. In the early morning, the gold price ushered in a deep V rebound and pierced through the 2929 mark, fell and closed in volatility. Gold is currently temporarily maintaining a range of oscillations and repairs on the daily trend, and the current price is temporarily compressed between 2890-2930. From the perspective of the 4-hour chart, the MACD kinetic energy column is weakening, that is, the bullish force is weakening, and the KDJ is obviously blunt and weak. There is still an opportunity for rebounding to short at a high level in the subsequent market. Gold is still fluctuating in a large range in 1 hour. Gold bulls did not break upward overnight, so the confidence of gold bulls is not very sufficient. Gold was still under pressure from the 2930 line last night under the stimulation of risk aversion. In the short term, the gold price is likely to continue to maintain a wide range of fluctuations around the 2890-2930 area. If it breaks, it needs to follow the trend and deal with it. You can continue to pay attention to the resistance strength of the 2930 position above. In terms of operation ideas, it is recommended to focus on rebound shorting. The short-term focus on the 2920-2925 line resistance above and the short-term focus on the 2890-2885 line support below. This is the fast trading strategy, a beacon on the road, guiding your direction and allowing you to see the road clearly in the dark. If you are interested, you can join my bottom article channel.

Gold futures intraday trading bibleAt present, from the technical trend, this wave of rise has been under pressure near 2910, and the short-term rise is insufficient. The short-term fluctuates at a high level. Although it broke a new high yesterday, the strength was obviously insufficient. It fell again after being under pressure near 2930. It is not recommended to continue chasing highs in the short term. According to the current trend, it is likely to fluctuate around a high range. Even if it does not break through, it will only be a correction in the short term, and the possibility of a sharp drop is not great. The gold price will continue to fluctuate in a high range, and the medium-term trend is still bullish.

At present, the gold price fluctuates in a narrow range around 2910. There is no major news to boost or suppress the gold price in the short term.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 3-6-25: Breakaway PatternToday's Breakaway pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will attempt to move away from yesterday's open/close price range. Given the fairly strong downward pre-market trending in the SPY/QQQ, I'm cautiously optimistic we will see a fairly strong MELT-UP in price related to the recent support/rejection levels near 575. I'm urging my followers to be cautious of the first 30-60 minutes of market activity today. Jobs data (or other data) could disrupt price after the open and I believe price will be very volatile in the first 30-60 minutes of trading today. In other words, price may try to SHAKE-OUT early positions with wild volatility before settling into a MELT-UP or MELT-DOWN trend. As I shared in my video, today's BreakAway pattern could break upward or downward. I believe the upward trend potential has about a 60-70% chance of happening IF the 575 level holds as support. If not, then we will probably break downward. The fact that BTCUSD is holding up quite well suggests the SPY/QQQ may actually MELT-UPWARD. Again, we need to see how things play out in early trading today. Gold & Silver are consolidating into a range which may continue over the next 3-4 days. The current bias for Gold and Silver is an uptrend. So, I do believe metals will continue to appreciate throughout this 3-4 day consolidation phase. The only reason I urge traders to stay cautious for the first 30-60 minutes is because of the Jobs data and how the markets may react to news items. You can't kick the markets to go in a certain direction. So, often, it is better to let the morning SHAKE-OUT happen, then wait for more clear trending to setup.

XAUUSD: 6/3 Today's Market Analysis and StrategyGold technical analysis Daily chart resistance 2957, support below 2892 Four-hour chart resistance 2930, support below 2887 One-hour chart resistance 2930, support below 2912 Gold news analysis: As the US tariffs on many countries continue to take effect, and more tariff plans for Europe and other countries are about to be implemented, gold's position as a safe-haven asset remains solid. Earlier this week, US President Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico. However, to the surprise of the market, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted that some tariff relief may be provided to the two US neighbors. According to Bloomberg, Lutnick said in an interview with Fox Business Channel that there may be a way to reduce some tariffs. This news may put some pressure on the upward trend of gold prices in the short term. As tensions in the physical market ease, the extreme dislocation of gold prices is fading, indicating that the craze for shipping gold to the United States may have peaked. This change in supply and demand dynamics may also have an impact on the recent trend of gold prices. US Treasury yields have rebounded slightly, although there is still a long way to recover. The change of yield rate usually shows an opposite relationship with the gold price, which is also one of the factors that the market pays attention to. Gold operation suggestion: Yesterday, gold experienced a wide range of long and short fluctuations in the volatile trading. The price rebounded slightly in the Asian and European sessions. The European session was suppressed below 2922 and fell back and fell. The US session accelerated downward and broke through the 2900 integer mark to reach 2894 and stabilized and began to rebound. Finally, it broke through the 2929 mark and began to fall and consolidate. The overall gold price formed a wide range of long and short fluctuations around the 2894-2929 mark. From the current trend analysis, today's lower support continues to focus on the one-hour level 2912 first-line support and the daily level support 2892. The upper pressure focuses on the vicinity of 2930. Continue to rely on this range to participate in high selling and low buying during the day, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market. Buy: 2892near. SL:2887 (can be entered repeatedly) Buy: 2900near. SL:2895 (can be entered repeatedly) Buy:2912near. SL:2908 Sell:2930near. SL:2935
