EURUSD: waiting for an extension of the pullbackHi Guys, the idea on this pair is to wait for an extension of the pullback to exceed 1.19088. This move was enbedded in the divergence between sentiment and price lows and stopped at July H in conjunction with NFP release on Sept.3rd. In this occasion the indicator didn't stop and exceeded it's July H forming a divergence also between latest two tops. Price: NFP H = July H RSI: NFP H > July H Today price has been hit by some near-term profit taking. However I still look for an extension above July H running possibly into 200SMA at 1.20029. To enter the market I am waiting for a bullish set up on LTF that may boost an attack to July H. Today's German Factory Order should be supportive for the EUR and also for EU GDP data to be released tomorrow. Important ECB meeting will take place on Thursday. The expected move may not take place before ECB meeting is finished. Be ready to take action only when right set up favours your objectives. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask.

Aussie rally pauses ahead of RBAThe Australian dollar is in negative territory on Monday, after flexing some muscle last week. AUD/USD is trading at 0.7430, down 0.35% on the day. The currency shot up 1.94% last week, as investor appetite for risk improved, which was bullish for minor currencies like the Australian dollar. The Australian dollar ended the week on a high note, with strong gains of 0.75%. This was in response to a shocker from US nonfarm payrolls on Friday, which added just 235 thousand jobs. The consensus was around 750 thousand jobs and some analysts were even calling for a print north of the 1 million mark. The soft NFP reading effectively put on hold any expectations that the Federal Reserve would signal tapering at its policy meeting later this month, and that has weighed on the US dollar. The Aussie has reversed directions on Monday, but I would not read too much into that, as US markets are closed for Labour Day, and liquidity is thin, which could account for the US dollar bouncing back on Monday after a poor showing last week. The RBA holds a policy meeting on Tuesday, and the markets will be keeping a close eye on what the central bank decides with regard to a planned taper. At the August meeting, policy makers adhered to plans to taper weekly bond purchases from AUD 5 billion to AUD 4 billion. Since then, the economy has taken a hit from prolonged lockdowns due to the Delta variant of Covid-19, and GDP in the third quarter may have contracted by as much as 3%. The big question is will the RBA feel that a taper is warranted, given that economic conditions are not all that favorable. If the central bank says that it will begin a taper next month, the Australian dollar could respond with strong gains.

Bye-Bye Tapering Announcement (06 September 2021)Jobs growth in August way off market’s expectation. Last Friday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 235,000 jobs being created in August, way below the market’s expectation of 720,000. The leisure and hospitality sector, the main driver behind the strong jobs growth for the past several months, added zero jobs amid the rise in COVID cases. With the leisure and hospitality sector taking a backseat, the professional and business services sector led the August’s jobs growth with an increase of 74,000 jobs. The worsening COVID situation has impacted the job market more negatively in August than in July. 5.6 million people reported not being able to work as their employer wind down business due to the pandemic. This figure rose from the July’s figure of 5.2 million. All is not lost. Despite the poor August figure, upward revisions were made to the number of jobs created for the past two months. In July, the number of jobs created was revised from 943,000 to 1,053,000 while in June, the figure was revised from 938,000 to 962,000. In total, these revisions reflected 134,000 jobs more than previously reported. Furthermore, based on history, nonfarm payroll figures have a tendency of subjecting to substantial revision due to discrepancies as a result of people going on summer vacation. Hence, there is a chance that the scanty figure released this month may be revised upwards to salvage the situation a little even though the shortfall may be too big. Chance of a September taper announcement is dimming. Without a doubt, the Federal Reserve is not going to like what they see from this jobs report. This will definitely lower the chance that the central bank will be making a QE tapering announcement during their meeting later this month. As a result, the Fed may postpone such an announcement to the meeting in November while buying some time for the jobs market to prove its worth.

What's happening on with GOLD? GOLD has been moving in a range of 15$ for a whole week now. This is not unusual but normally after such a thing price tends to fluctuate a lot. We could see a breakout tomorrow during the NFP. Right now we're in an uptrend on the hourly chart and it's more likely to see price continuing in that direction. The first resistance is at 1829. However, it's better if we don't enter any trades before we have an economic event because that could affect price and reverse the trend. The key support level is 1800. If we do get a break below this level tomorrow that would mean we will be looking for short trades only. Expect our analysis just after the NFP tomorrow.

GOLD after the NFPWe had to wait for NFP to cause some moves in price action, so we can finally see GOLD breaking out of its range. We can already see price moving due to the news. We have our closest support and resistance and we need to see in which direction it will breakout. As you already know that means for price to close below/above those levels on the hourly (at least). Once we have a candle close then we could expect a continuation in this direction. In case of a breakout of 1829, next target is 1854! In case of a breakout of 1800, next target is 1784! Watch out for the hourly candle close and if there are no wicks, then look for continuation trades.

EUR/USD: WAITING THE NON-FARM-PAYROLLS |SHORT SCENARIO ⚡⚡Forecast 03 September 2021 The U.S. Federal Reserve has repeatedly made it clear that the main criterion for winding down support measures would be a stronger labor market. Most interestingly, after disappointing data in July, where unemployment rose to 5.9%, we saw a strong strengthening in August, with unemployment falling to 5.4%. Many analyst agencies have noted that the growth in the labor market has been hampered by those very "American" payouts. In other words, many companies noted labor shortages. Accordingly, the pay cuts that began in late June have not yet had time to affect the June data, but we have seen an excellent strengthening of the labor market in July. The number of jobless claims continues to decline. Both total and initial jobless claims are down. Perhaps not at the pace we would like, but it is continuing. Looking at the labor market, the Fed's goal of 4% unemployment could be reached very soon. Non-Farm Payrolls Employment : - Last data: 943K - Consensus Forecast: 750K The Non-Farm employment change measures the change in the number of people employed during the last month in the non-farm sector. Total Non-Farm Payrolls represent about 80% of the workers who produce all of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States. It is the most important piece of data contained in the employment report that offers the best overview of the economy. Monthly changes and adjustments in the data can be very volatile. U.S. Average Hourly Earnings YoY : - Last data: 0.4% - Consensus forecast: 0.3% This indicator shows the change in the average hourly wage level for major industries, except agriculture. Unemployment Rate : - Past data: 5.4% - Consensus forecast: 5.2% The unemployment rate measures the percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively looking for a job and willing to work in the United States. A high percentage indicates weakness in the labor market. A low percentage is positive for the U.S. labor market and should be taken as a positive factor for the USD.

Aussie punches past 74, NFP loomsThe Australian dollar rally has continued on Friday, as the currency is higher for a fourth straight day. Currently, AUD/USD is trading at 0.7430, up 0.43% on the day. The US dollar continues to falter, and the Aussie has taken full advantage. AUD/USD has gained 1.66% this week, after sharp gains of 2.42% a week earlier. Investors have given the Australian dollar a thumbs-up and soft Australian data on Friday hasn't put a dent in the currency's upward movement. Australia Retail Sales faltered badly in July, with a reading of -2.7%.  The economy has been hit by the double blow of soft domestic activity and weak global demand, and there are concerns that the economy could slip into a recession. This could depend on how quickly Australia is able to contain the current wave of Covid, which has led to extensive lockdowns. Although the Covid numbers have been relatively low, the government has not hesitated to impose lockdowns, as most of the population has not been fully vaccinated. It has been a rough week for the US dollar and the currency markets appear ready for a further dollar sell-off today. However, such a move is contingent on a soft reading from today's nonfarm payrolls report. The consensus is around 750 thousand new jobs, and if the release is higher than expected, we could see a short squeeze on the US dollar. If the reading surprises to the downside, it could be a rough day for the greenback. The upcoming NFP is critical as the Fed could decide on the timing of a taper based on the reading. The Fed has tied a taper to stronger employment data, and a better-than-expected read could renew speculation about an imminent taper. Conversely, a weak NFP reading will likely delay Fed plans to taper There are resistance lines at 0.7455 and 0.7572. 0.7377 has switched to a support role as the AUD rally continues. Below, there is support at 0.7250

XAU/USD - CHART ANALYSIS - NFP ! The gold market still has a path to $2,000 in the second half of the year as the precious metal is undervalued in a world awash with liquidity, according to the latest research from Bloomberg Intelligence (BI). In a report published Wednesday, Mike McGlone, senior commodity strategist at BI, said that within the metals complex, gold appears to have the most potential when compared to other assets like copper and aluminum. "Copper and aluminum are reaching upper range price caps, but we see gold as a discounted bull market with improving fundamental underpinnings," he said in the report. "The copper-to-gold ratio has reached the highest level in about seven years and a rare disparity vs. declining U.S. Treasury bond yields, which we expect will be resolved by a resumption of the precious metal outperforming the industrial. Looking at aluminum, McGlone said that tightening supply and demand fundamentals are helping to push prices to $3,000 per tonne; however, similar to copper's run to $10,000, he added that aluminum’s rally appears to be unstable. He said that the industrial metal complex faces some challenging near-term hurdles. "Supply elasticity is proving strong for copper, indicating headwinds for the industrial-metal sector, but ESG, electrification and decarbonization trends should maintain the group's upper hand vs. most other commodities, with the exception of precious metals," he said. "Among the most supply-constrained commodities, gold and silver have the relative advantage heading toward the end of 2021 of having experienced sharp corrections within more enduring bull markets, as we see it." While there is plenty of bullish sentiment surging through precious metals markets, gold prices continue to struggle to find consistent momentum. The precious metal is holding support above $1,800 an ounce, but it has been unable to push above $1,820 an ounce. December gold futures last traded at $1,810.80 an ounce, down 0.29% on the day.
