Nfp
NFP is Big- This NFP will be HUGE 🕊️ 🦅This NFP has an extra layer of expected Volatility and importance attached to it.
For starters, there will be speech from Jerome Powel (president of the Federal Reserve), 90 minutes before the NFP announcement. For any experienced trader this makes things even more interesting.
Take a look at the video and the Dollar index analysis and the rest will make sense.
This NFP will be a critical, decision making factor of whether the dollar will stand up on it's feet or it will dip into the abyss. The second is more probable but the Americans know how to 'play this game'...
Friday is close, mark the date.

Gold Analysis - June 3-4th 2021Hello,
We are approaching a fundamental rally between tomorrow and Friday with the following economic events:
ADP (Automatic Data Processing) Non-Farm Employment - Expecting bad numbers
Unemployment Claims - Expecting bad numbers
PMI - Expecting good numbers
Average Hourly Earnings - Expecting bad numbers
NFP - Expecting good numbers
Unemployment Rate - Expecting good rate
Taking all this information and analyzing it, there is a 50/50 expectation towards the market. There is a very high possibility that Gold will drop into recent demand areas where Buys for me make a lot more sense at the moment continuing the strong bullish momentum it has had. I will be analyzing the following areas for High Risk High Reward Buys:
Zone 1 - 1893 (HRHR Buys)
Zone 2 - 1883 (HRHR Buys)
1st TP - 1912
2nd TP - 1923
From here to tomorrow I can easily see there will be consolidation preparing for the news on Thursday and Friday. If you see price taking a specific direction then consolidating it is preparing to do the complete opposite. In my experience Gold sets and prepares itself at a certain area which becomes a high demand zone, order block and then once news is released the orders will release as well.
Safe trading!
Understanding the NFP EU PumpHere are some questions I put out to my community group the other day followed by the answers. The reasoning being the move has been annotated on the chart.
Why did price slowly decline prior to NFP?
- Price had to decline slightly before NFP to mitigate the impulsive move created earlier in the day.
- Price had to stop out break and re-test buyers with a tight stop loss
- Price had to lure sellers into the market before NFP
Why did price reject the exact box marked before skyrocketing?
- Price skyrocketed because it had gathered enough liquidity from stopping out the buyers.
- It utilised the previous order block to skyrocket to take out the impulsive sellers before NFP.
DXY - What's next! Bears gain control!
We had US data NFP, a large miss increasing majors - which GBP is looking interesting! Now as I mentioned many times, I don't think tapering from Feds will be announced anytime soon, patience is really key with this. End of summer I feel there will be further mentioning. However, for now I really don't. The data hasn't been consistent ...So what do you do? Well, your trend is your friend until broken. Right now the bears are still in control and we have to respect that.
Technical Aspects:
Support: 89.99, 88.87, 88.24, 87.10
Resistance: 90.98, 92.55, 94.22
Pattern: Bear Flag (Channel)
89. 40 Below bears will gain further control
92.55 Above bulls will gain further control
Great move this week by precious metals! I feel the NFP did great movement to a lot of currencies finally!
Key Tip: I came across this amazing quote - "Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them."
It's so true! Personal story I will share with you. When I was starting out and even now still you have these negative mindset people full of envy, hatred and have a very large ego...Weirdly, they the ones who are unsuccessful - wondering to themselves why are they succeeding? why aren't I? and the answer is: Not a crystal ball but focus on yourself, rather than causing drama in other peoples lives, being jealous and all the various negative actions you're taking, spend those precious timely moments on yourself. The only person you should be competing with is yourself.
Have a great week ahead!

XAUUSD - How I caught 580 pips on Gold almost zero Drawdown💰💰Hello Traders😃
I have decided to make this educational post on a trade I took on the 5th of may which took profit after NFP✅
I believe there is a struggling trader who may be having difficulties putting it all together and creating a simple trading plan.
The first thing to remember is that trading is probabilities so we try to get as many reasons as possible in our favor before placing any single trade
If you see most of my ideas I highlight if a trade is medium probability or high probability and it’s mostly backed by these factors,
The more factors in my favor, the higher the probability ⚜️
In this trade I simply used these 5 reasons to get on this trade and all criteria was met perfectly.✊🏽
You don’t need a magic indicator or a lot of lines on your chart to be profitable
Remember simplicity is the key 🔑
Just these 5 factors helped me to secure 580 pips on a single trade with a healthy risk to reward too.😊
I caught a similar trade on the 15th of April which I’ve linked below and you can see the factors above
Keep things simple and repeatable♻️
God bless you😊
I wish you all a profitable trading career

EUR/USD - Structure and Forecast UpdateEUR/USD - 4HR Chart
We can see price was respecting this ascending channel. We broke with a strong bearish push after price failed to test the upside of the channel.
We are currently testing 1.21 which has acted as a key psychological resistance level previously. Will we see the strong bearish move to the downside as forecasted?
Watch out for NFP release today - it will certainly increase volatility in the FX markets!
Have a great trading day!

GU Short BiasLast week was NFP, so we expect a long term trend to kick in. So as per the Strategy, we wait for the daily (Monday) candle to finish forming and on Tuesday open we set stop pending orders at 15 pips from high and low of Monday candle then we let market do it's thing, once triggered we exit position by Friday afternoon.
As for NFP intraday Strategy, at 1530(GMT +2) when news are released, don't place any trades yet, do the following steps.
1. Switch to M5 TIMEFRAME
2. So once it's 1530 we wait for the candle to finish forming
3. At 1535(still on the M5(5 Minutes timeframe) you use the news candle( the one that just previously closed) then u place stop pending orders at the high and low of the news candle at 15pips/150 points distance.
4. Once either of the order gets triggered you delete the one which didn't trigger
5. Exit position before the day ends.
Markets await RBA decisionThe Australian dollar has started the week with slight gains. Currently, the pair is trading at 0.7626, up 0.25% on the day.
Friday's Nonfarm payrolls was expected to be strong, and NFP delivered big, with a read of 916 thousand, up from 379 thousand a month earlier. This figure easily beat the forecast of 652 thousand. With the US recovery gaining traction and the Biden administration pouring trillions of dollars into the economy, we can expect upcoming NFP prints to be above the one million level. That is, if the vaccination rollout continues as planned. The US dollar didn't show much reaction to the blowout release, and AUD/USD was muted on Friday.
Overshadowed by the sparkling NFP report was a drop in the unemployment rate, which dropped from 6.2% to 6.0%, matching the forecast. Unemployment continues to fall and this was the lowest level since April 2020, prior the huge jump in unemployment due to the Covid pandemic.
The RBA holds its monthly policy meeting on Tuesday (4:30 GMT). The meeting is expected to be uneventful, with the central bank widely expected to maintain interest rate and interest rate and yield curve targets at 0.1%. The bank's QE programme of A$100 billion is set to expire but will be immediately renewed for a six-month period.
The RBA has been in dovish mode, stating that it expects to maintain its current stance until 2024, when inflation is projected to reach the bank's target of 2-3%. However, Australia's economy has been recovering rapidly and it's entirely possible that inflation could reach this target well before 2024, in which case we could see rate hikes ahead of the RBA's schedule.
AUD/USD faces resistance at 0.7675. Above, there is resistance at 0.7735 The first line of support is at 0.7543, followed by support at 0.7471.
Breakout at GBPUSDAnalysis from large to smaller charts.
- Weekly - uptrend
- Daily - uptrend
- H4 - double bottom
- H1 - Uptrend
After breaking the double bottom, a test and continuation to 1.3917 can be expected.
Today and on Monday we expect that there will be no big movements, because most of the markets are on vacation!
USDZAR to the upside #SWINGWith clear formation of a double bottom and price rejection our confirmations have been ticked.
We would want to seek entries upon retest or around R15.50 via pending order to swing to the upside.
Fundamentals are directly relate to this, essentially a positive NFP will bring in massive bulls and vice versa - Trade with caution.
All the best.
Yen falls to 10-month lowThe Japanese yen has started the week with considerable losses. Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 108.82, up 0.51% on the day.
The yen's woes continue, as the US dollar continues to beat up on the Japanese currency. USD/JPY has jumped 5.6% since January 1 and is pressing on the 109 line, which has held since June 2020. The catalyst behind the recent strength of the US dollar has been the recent rise in US Treasury yields. The 10-year bond climbed to 1.60% earlier on Monday, while 30-year bonds rose to 2.31%. The yen is particularly sensitive to rate differentials between the US and Japan, so the increases in US yields are putting strong pressure on the Japanese currency.
The higher US yields were in response to the Senate passing a massive 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package on Saturday. The bill now returns to the House for some amendments, and will likely to be signed into law by President Biden by March 14.
Although the dollar's strength is largely due to the increase in US yields, fundamental releases should not be overlooked. A surprisingly strong US Nonfarm Payrolls last week has provided the US dollar with further upward momentum. The gain of 379 thousand easily beat the forecast of 197 thousand, and was the highest reading since October 2020.
Later on Monday, Japan releases a data dump. Consumer spending and wage growth are both expected to show contraction (23:30 GMT). Japan's second-estimate GDP is expected to show growth of 3.0%, confirming the initial estimate (23:50 GMT).
USD/JPY broke above resistance at 108.16 on Friday. The next resistance line is at 109.64, followed by resistance at 110.07. There is support at 106.96, followed by a support line at 105.53. There may be an opportunity for buy-on dips as low as 107.50
GBPUSD AnalysisGBPUSD is approaching a strong support where we will be looking for buy setups. Waiting for the upper trendline to be broken on Monday along with the MA60 to add more confirmation. MACD looks positive also.
All eyes today were on NFP which had a very positive impact on the USD.
