XAUUSD; long-term analysis pre-NFPHere is our in-depth view and update on XAUUSD . Potential opportunities and what to look out for. This is a long-term overview on the pair sharing possible entries and important Key Levels.
Alright first, let’s take a step back and take a look at XAUUSD from a bigger perspective. For this we will be looking at the H4 time-frame .
XAUUSD is currently trading at around 2670s. Our scenarios are in play after the NFP data is out. Let’s take another look at them with more in-depth outcomes. These scenarios are written from just a TA (Technical Analysis) point of view.
Scenario 1: long-term BUYS
-We broke above 2675.
With the break of 2675 we can expect a possible move up to 2690. With a retest back at 2700s, that would confirm continuation buys and we would have to keep our eye out on our next KL (Key Level) at around 2714 or previous highs at 2726.
Scenario 2: long-term SELLS
-We respected our KL and stayed below 2675.700.
If we start making our way down to 2646 and manage to break below it, we could see more sells in play down to 2604.
NFP DATA! WHAT’S COMING?
With the NFP data coming out tomorrow , we can expect huge volatility. Spikes are to be expected. With the Jobless claims report we got yesterday, we can possibly anticipate more positive numbers for the TVC:DXY and potentially leading into more sells on OANDA:XAUUSD which would play by our Scenario 2 ! If on the other hand the NFP data comes in lower than expected, we should follow by our long-term Scenario 1 .
IMPORTANT KEY LEVELS:
- 2690 ; breaks above would result in gold revisiting previous highs
- 2675 ; breaks above would result in more upside
- 2646 ; breaks below would result in sells
- 2633 ; breaks below confirming lower levels
- 2620 ; breaks below confirming lower levels
- 2604 ; breaks below would confirm gold is bearish and we should see lower levels (2590..)
Personal opinion:
As the new financial year is here, and we are barely in the first weeks of trading, the direction for now is unclear until we break our mentioned key levels. The spikes we had last few days on XAUUSD did not give us the best or most optimal trading conditions. The market is undecided on the direction, until we get the NFP Data out. Stay patient and be smart.
KEY NOTES
- XAUUSD breaking above 2675 would confirm buys.
- XAUUSD failing to break above 2675 could result in lower prices.
- Breaks below 2646 would result in sells.
- The market has no directions until we get the NFP Data out on Friday 10th.
- Positive NFP Data would result in stronger DXY and lower prices on XAUUSD, potentially following our long-term scenario 2.
- Negative NFP Data would result in weaker DXY and higher prices on XAUUSD, potentially following our long-term scenario 1.
Happy trading!

XAUUSD - The NFP indicator will determine the direction of gold!Gold is above the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4-hour timeframe and is in its ascending channel. In case of weakness in the data of the employment market and increase in the unemployment rate, you can look for opportunities to buy gold.
A lower-than-expected unemployment rate release and a strong NFP headline will lead to a breakout of the bullish and bearish channel in gold.
While most major economies are expected to pursue expansionary monetary policies this year, the pace of these measures will likely slow. According to Bloomberg’s forecast, the overall interest rate index in advanced economies is projected to decrease by only 72 basis points in 2025, which is lower than the rate of decline in 2024.
Donald Trump, with his electoral promises and economic policies, has become a source of concern for central banks worldwide.If Trump enforces his threats to impose trade tariffs, these policies could harm economic growth and, in the case of retaliatory measures, drive up consumer prices.
Analysts at Bank of America (BofA) highlighted the “complex” impacts of Trump’s proposed tariffs on metal prices in a recent note. The proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada—two of the main suppliers of metals to the U.S.—are expected to have both direct and indirect effects on the market.
The bank identified two main concerns. First, the potential negative impact on global growth and the fundamentals of the metals market, particularly if the tariffs escalate into a full-blown trade war. However, BofA predicts that a more “measured approach to trade barriers is likely to prevail,” which would mitigate the overall damage. Second, regional metal prices will need to adjust to the potential tariffs.
Bank of America warned that tariffs could strengthen the dollar, increase inflation, and lead to higher interest rates—all of which could pose challenges for the U.S. economy. Nevertheless, they concluded that metal prices are likely to stabilize after the initial volatility subsides, especially if the tariffs are targeted and investments in energy transition continue.
Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair, downplayed expectations of continued monetary easing in 2025 during his December 18, 2024, press conference. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester’s dissenting vote against a rate cut was surprising, but the major shock to markets came from the Fed members’ projections (dot plot).
The Fed members forecast only two rate cuts for 2025, signaling that the monetary easing cycle, which began in September 2024, will slow significantly in the coming year.
Powell also admitted that inflation forecasts for the end of the year had been overly optimistic, suggesting that inflation is not yet fully under control. The Fed is increasingly concerned about Trump’s policies, as tools like tariffs could raise import prices and, subsequently, inflation.
Forecasts for Friday’s NFP data:
• Average estimate: 165K
• Lowest estimate: 120K
• Highest estimate: 190K
The importance of the labor market for monetary policy has slightly diminished following Powell’s December 18 press conference. This indicates that the Fed has some confidence in easing price pressures stemming from the labor market. However, recent data suggests that the labor market has not fully cooled. The upcoming NFP report is expected to show a 160,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls, while the unemployment rate and hourly wage growth are likely to remain steady at 4.2% and 4%, respectively.
If these expectations are unmet, especially with job growth below 50,000, the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in Q1 2025 will increase. Currently, markets anticipate a 25-basis-point rate cut by June 2025, but this move could occur sooner if labor market data remains weak.
Xauusd buy NFP after sell must read cpGold (XAU/USD) is currently trading around $2,670 per ounce, approaching its all-time high of $2,726. Analysts, including those from Goldman Sachs, forecast that gold prices could reach $2,700 by early 2025, driven by factors such as anticipated U.S. interest rate cuts and increased central bank purchases. Given this context, an upward target of $2,680 appears attainable in the near term.
Correction of Altcoins and the Crypto MarketConsidering that the total index and the altcoin index have reached a resistance level and are starting to correct, I expect them to correct to the specified level before resuming their upward movement. Given the overall market conditions, I anticipate that altcoin season will begin after Bitcoin reaches $150,000.

GOLD PRICE IS STILL ACCUMULATINGPrice continues to consolidate within a tight range, showing signs of accumulation as market participants hold off on major moves ahead of the highly anticipated Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report. This period of indecision reflects traders' caution, as they await critical employment data that could significantly influence market sentiment and drive volatility in the upcoming sessions...
Gold Market Outlook: Analyzing Buy Signals and ATH PossibilitiesA great purchase opportunity is indicated by our current market analysis , which shows a tested support level at 2735-2730 . Given these indicators, the market might hit a new all-time high (ATH) . My research suggests that XAUUSD is a good buy , especially as fundamentals imply that the dollar may depreciate , likely strengthening gold’s value. Additionally, we can expect selling pressure around the supply level of 2773-2780 ,
but I’m also confident that NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) shows a compelling buying opportunity .
A* boost would be greatly appreciated if you found this analysis useful; it’s always encouraging to know my observations are understood!
XAUUSD: NFP data and trading strategies for the next two weeks
Yesterday's gold movement largely aligned with expectations, with relatively limited fluctuations. However, today is unlikely to be as calm, as the market now faces two sharply contrasting scenarios:
If the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) and unemployment data are bullish for gold, and the price remains within its current range, we could see a rebound, testing or even breaking the previous high before retreating to current levels.
Alternatively, before or shortly after the data release, gold may retest the resistance near its previous high (or consolidate below the 2668 level) and then begin a significant decline, potentially forming a double-top pattern (with a break below 2620).
Disregarding the data, from a technical standpoint, the daily chart (D1) shows that gold is at a critical juncture. Recent price movements have hovered near key support levels, with some indicators clearly signaling weakness. A decisive move is imminent.
Scenario 1: Gold consolidates near support, gathering momentum and bolstering bullish sentiment, leading to a second upward push—similar to the rally initiated around the 2500 level. If the market demonstrates strength, prices could challenge the 2700-2710 zone, followed by a weekly close showing weakness. A significant pullback of no less than $100 could then ensue.
Scenario 2: Bullish momentum fades, and the bears start to take control. A double-top formation would likely emerge, targeting the 2625-2611 support zone. If bulls fail to hold these levels, the next bearish targets would be in the 2590-2570 region.
I hope this analysis provides valuable insight for your upcoming trades. Wishing you all the best of luck!
NFP Data: Key Trading Opportunities for Gold
Gold has returned to around 2520, with resistance still quite evident. With only one and a half hours left before the data release, market volatility is expected to remain limited. Based on yesterday's data, the likelihood of today’s data being bullish is higher.
There are two trading strategies to consider: The first is to go long before the data release, but keep a tight stop-loss to guard against a surprise bearish outcome. If there’s a profit, close the position promptly. I estimate that if the data is bullish, the price could rise by approximately $15.
The second approach is to wait for the data release and then enter a short position, aiming for a medium-term trade. Given that the current price is already at a relatively high level, even if there is a spike after the data release, it will be challenging for the price to maintain a sustained upward trend.
XAUUSD DumpLooking above us is a well refined zone from which we expect Gold to sell from.
It won't stop this sells until we've got to a 4hr zone that should be updated here also.
Simply wait for a confirmation at this sell zone, then get in as a swing or with a swing perspective at heart.
Whatever Gold does between Wednesday and Thursday will determine what price delivery will be at NFP.

Profited $14K, NFP is expected to rise and then fall backThis morning, I shorted gold near 2326.31, and as gold fell back to hit TP: 2315, I profited and left the market; I added positions and went long gold near 2296 and 2286, and as gold bottomed out, it hit TP again: 2300 profit and exit. The total profit exceeded GETTEX:14K , which was another good profit for several days in a row!
Tomorrow will usher in a golden highlight moment, because NFP will be released tomorrow, which will definitely intensify short-term fluctuations and even guide the short-term direction of gold. It is a challenge but also an opportunity. In my opinion, gold is likely to rise first and then fall under the influence of NFP market!
Judging from the recent economic data in the United States, the U.S. economy is strong, which limits gold’s upside to a certain extent. Moreover, high inflation has not yet been completely resolved, so the market’s expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates are decreasing, which is also negative for gold to a certain extent. In addition, gold has also confirmed the validity of the 2430 top at the technical level, so the overall short trend of gold has been established.At least gold has demand to extend its decline. So why does gold rise before falling?
Because gold has been weak recently and shorts have gradually gained the upper hand, the market is likely to need to use NFP data to kill a batch of short positions first and harvest some funds;In addition, gold has fallen ahead of schedule in the past two days, touching the 2285-2280 area many times, which is likely to reserve room for growth in the NFP market in advance. In the short-term structure, gold's technical bottom-out rebound creates a double-bottom structure in the short-term structure, which is helpful for gold's short-term rise. Therefore, in the NFP market, gold is very likely to rise and fall, and continue its decline.
Judging from the current trend, if gold rebounds first, we will first focus on the 2325-2330 area and the 2350-2355 area above. If gold rebounds first with the help of NFP data, I predict that gold is likely to touch the 2325-2330 area during the rebound, and may even try to touch the 2350-2355 area, and then fall back or even continue to fall to the 2270-2260 area. Therefore, in this process, there is a good opportunity to participate in gold trading, and the profit is definitely not small. I will definitely not miss this good opportunity once a month.After all, there are always markets, but opportunities are hard to come by!

EURUSD,🔴Is it bearish...?🔴(Details on caption)
Well, first I must say the whole scenario is a low probability because NFP data will be released today, so stick to your money management system.
By examining the daily and hourly EURUSD chart we can figure out, that the price grabbed the buy side liquidity and created the bearish breaker with bearish FVG, also this breaker aligns with the 50% of daily candle shadow.
So we can expect the price to move higher to FVG and breaker then fall to sell-side liquidity.

XAUUSD:NFP trading strategy
Regarding yesterday's data, my view is to go short, with the target near 2269, and we finally succeeded in making a profit.
After the market fell sharply, there was a small rebound. When it was near 2270, I also reminded everyone that there will be a rebound, and the resistance level is 2279-2286.
As I expected, it was blocked near 2279. Now I continue to observe the resistance, and the trading idea is to maintain high short selling.
Now the technical indicators show that the rebound is not over yet, so there should be a chance to touch around 2286. In this range, if you want to go long, you can do a small amount and close it in time when there is profit. I am still bearish on the general direction.
At the same time, there is NFP data today, which has a great impact on gold. I think the probability of eventual decline today is greater than that of rise, so regarding data trading, my thinking is mainly short selling.
Because the impact of data is relatively large, market fluctuations will also be correspondingly large. If your account does not have much funds, try not to gamble before the data is released. If you do, you should also pay attention to risk control, trade in small quantities, and set SL.
Otherwise, once the market finally does not match our expectations, your account may not be able to withstand it and will be directly blown. This is not what I want to see, and I believe you must not want to see this happen.
If the data is in line with expectations, then there is a high probability that it will fall to around 2233 today. This space is still relatively large, and the profits it can bring us will also be very good.
If you can grasp it, try to grasp it. If the actual situation does not allow it, do not force the transaction. Everything is based on account safety. There are many trading opportunities later.
At all times, please put risk management first. Our profits must be based on the fact that the account will not be blown away.
good luck!
EURUSD BUYas we have seen a good move in EURUSD and it has taken a fly high after NFP brought in so we will be seeing a drop to this volume candle retracement and we will be buying this pair after it completes 68% or 78% retracment to this level and we will be intrested in buying this pair as this pair is also moving in a parallel channel so it seems like it will continue going upward this time too
Yemi_Fx1 | BEARISH SETUP ON AUDJPY Maintaining a sell bias on AUDJPY based on the presence of a well-defined sell structure.
On the 1-hour timeframe (1HTF) shows the bearish bias is further supported by a potential continuation pattern in the form of an ascending wedge, with price currently testing resistance.
Be aware that today's high-impact Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data release could cause price to break out of the ascending wedge resistance before moving in it main direction.
I anticipate a potential third touch of the ascending wedge's resistance. If price rejects this level, we can look for a confirmation shorting signal(A flag )on a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute chart) to enter the trade.
