NFP is out. Market reaction - 2025.05.02The NFP number came out higher than the forecast, but lower than the previous (even the revised one). The initial reaction was in favour of DXY, but it has gone quiet very quickly. Maybe because of the fact that the market is preparing for some action on 7th of May, when the Fed announces interest rates.

XAUUSD trade ideas
The downside risk of gold increases!📌Fundamentals:
1. The conflict between India and Pakistan shows signs of escalation
2. US-Houthi ceasefire agreement
3. The Fed’s interest rate decision dominates this week’s market
4. International trade situation disturbs market sentiment
5. Market sentiment and capital flow
📊Technical aspects:
At present, on the hourly basis, gold is still under pressure at the small range resistance of 3400, and the current tariff crisis has cooled down. The data of the Fed's interest rate decision will cause a series of fluctuations in gold in the short term. At the same time, the market is betting that there will be further trend corrections, which may cause capital outflows in the market, which will further hit gold bulls!
There is actually a new round of operation opportunities in the short term. The short-term resistance should be around 3400, but since the game between major powers has not stopped, there will be no big negative factors. However, if the data layout does not fluctuate much, the market may not have a big dive. At present, we will temporarily play at the 3360-3400 level. If it breaks, we will make new adjustments!
🎯Practical strategy:
Gold: Short around 3390-3400 on the rebound, and the target is 3370-3360!
THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
BOOMING! We said we would stick with the plan, we did, and BOOM, straight into the level we wanted. What we did want from there however is a bounce, but instead, we got just over 100pips long and then back into the lower level where we are now ranging.
Unless there is a late session move and 3210 holds us up to target the 3250-55 level initially, we'll wait lower now which is where the Asia session may take it.
With NFP tomorrow, we can expect that typical pre-event price action to begin soon, so maybe best practice now is to wait for them to do what they want, and come back next week to capture better set ups.
DOW, NAS, BTC, GOLD, EU and Oil all performing for us today, well done team. Another day in the office.
We'll be back tomorrow with the NFP KOG Report and our view.
As always, trade safe.

Is Gold Ready to Break the High… Again?On the Daily timeframe , the seller’s level at 3366.900 , formed by the April 22nd bar, was broken by strong buying pressure and is currently being retested from above.
On the Hourly chart , I’m observing a bullish wide-spread bar with the highest volume, which also broke through the 3366.900 level.
📈This bar has its own test at 3349.745, which supports the bullish bias for now.
As long as this level holds, I expect the long scenario to remain valid.
Overhead, there is resistance from sellers at 3404.761 .
If price breaks above it, the next upside targets are:
🎯 3438.708
🎯 3500.120

Bullish Gold: Ride the Wave with Pullback BuysOn the daily gold chart, there was a sharp upward surge on Monday, and the price rebounded above the $3300 mark. Normally, the upward movement on the daily chart could potentially drive the price towards the high point near the upper Bollinger Band at around $3500. This also means that the monthly chart recovers the upper shadow and forms a second upward thrust. So, there is ample upside potential. We should focus on the sustainability of this upward momentum.
On the 4 - hour chart, another wave of strength is needed. A significant rally is required to widen the upper Bollinger Band and establish an absolute one - sided bullish trend. Therefore, although the bullish outlook is clear for now, there is still a possibility of some adjustments. Currently, the support below is around the $3340 - $3350 range, with the dividing line being near the early - morning low of $3330. If there is an opportunity for the price to pull back to the support area, one can go long and bet on the upward trend. Today, keep an eye on the resistance levels at $3385 - $3395 - $3400.

Gold Price Analysis May 7Yesterday's D1 candle continued to be a FULL candle with a 100 price increase. At the beginning of the day, the market opened with a bearish price gap, showing that the market also wants to cool down and today.
Gold is sideways in the range and is running a corrective downtrend.
The support zone for BUY strategies is around 3371, this is the EMA 34 of the h1 frame and is partially supported by the trendline. The next notable area is 3352, which is the old candle wick area and also the support area of yesterday's European session.
The two SELL areas are around 3402 and the Gap opening area is 3423.
GOLD - Price can grow to $3370 resistance levelHi guys, this is my overview for XAUUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
Recently, price entered to pennant, where it at once bounced from support line and started to grow, but soon corrected.
After this movement, Gold made upward impulse, and broke $3205 level, after which it made retest and continued to move up mext.
Soon, it reached $3370 level, broke it and then rose to resistance line of pennant, after which started to fall.
In a short time, price declined below $3370 level, breaking it again, and then some time traded below.
Later, Gold continued to fall and declined to support level, which coincided with support line of pennant.
Now, I think that price can bounce up from support level to $3370 level, exiting from pennant pattern.

Intraday adjustment ends, follow up with low and long positions!📌Fundamentals:
1. The conflict between India and Pakistan shows signs of escalation
2. US-Houthi ceasefire agreement
3. The Fed’s interest rate decision dominates this week’s market
4. International trade situation disturbs market sentiment
5. Market sentiment and capital flow
📊Technical aspects:
Affected by the trade negotiations, gold reached a high of 3434 and came out of the 70 US dollar drop. It took advantage of the trend to follow up the short order and reached the target profit stop as scheduled! Then it fell back and went long again to reap profits. The daily line continued to close in the positive direction, and there was room for fallback and adjustment during the Asian session. However, the daily cycle did not support a sharp decline for the time being. The data during the day tended to be treated as shocks. Therefore, the bullish trend remained unchanged, and the support below was 3335. You can go long if it hits during the day. The short-term support is around 3360 and 3350. In terms of operation, it will continue to be low and long. When it stabilizes, it will go to 3410 or even near the high point. However, if the second test does not reach a new high, there may be a larger correction.
🎯Practical strategy:
Gold is long around 3350-55, looking at 3376 and 3410! If it is strong, go long based on the support of 3365-60!
The golden earthquake storm is coming!In terms of news: Major events over the weekend include the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the sudden change in the situation between India and Pakistan, and the progress of Sino-US negotiations: Although India and Pakistan announced a truce, India's surprise attack turned the agreement into a joke. The high-level economic and trade talks between China and the United States are still continuing in Geneva, and it is difficult to have clear results in the short term. The war between Russia and Ukraine is still in a stalemate. The superposition of multiple events has injected uncertainty into the market.
Technical aspects:
Pay attention to the pressure in the 3360-3380 area. If it stands firm at 3346, it can fall back to arrange long orders. If it directly breaks below 3300 at the opening, pay attention to the support near 3280 - this position is likely to be lost, and effective support depends on the downward pattern formed after the 3260 break, and the ultimate target is 3200.
Risk aversion in China-US negotiations cools down!Gold closed with an "inverted hammer" positive line this week. The upper shadow line was mainly due to the continued stimulation of gold's safe-haven properties by the news at the beginning of the week. However, the tariff war with previous lessons helped the gold price to hit a historical high of 3500. The reaction of gold prices to this news this week was not as enthusiastic as before, which also led to the stop of the rise at 3439. The announcement of the interest rate decision in the second half of the week was in line with expectations. The gold price plunged 170 points in two days and stabilized above the 3300 mark as of yesterday's closing. Based on the previous evening star combination and this week's inverted hammer, it is believed that the gold price will continue to fall next week and will close below the real time, that is, below 3306.
From the perspective of daily K, this week is generally a trend of rising and falling, and a slight rebound follows after the decline at the end of the week. Weekly Review We continue with the analysis of the second half of the week. From the perspective of the gold price trend since the high point of 3500, the first wave of decline has been considered to be over. The rebound from 3200 to 3439 did not exceed the previous high, so we will continue to analyze the second wave of decline, and strictly implement this idea in the operation. Now the overall trend of gold prices is also the same. Next week's operation will focus on the key suppression position of 3378 near the end of the week. If it cannot stand firm in the first half of the week, there is still a lot of room for further decline.
From the four-hour level, the triangle convergence pattern we analyzed is still there. Unexpectedly, there was a false break of the lower track in the Asian session on Friday. Next week, we still need to continue to pay attention to the support of this position. In general, next week, we will first pay attention to the operation of the range from 3378 to 3274, and wait for the break before I will re-analyze the structure. Once again, I would like to remind you that the news market is repeated, and the base of gold prices is too large, so the intraday volatility has also increased. It is also common to go up and down more than 100 points in a single day. Everyone needs to pay attention to the risk control of their positions.
In the short term, if we move to the hourly level, we can analyze the last wave of structure. The gold price rebounded after breaking through 3288 in the Asian session on Friday. After this action, the gold price rebounded quickly. Let’s not talk about who has the upper hand. From the last wave of rebound, the continuation is insufficient. If it is a restart of the bulls, the European and American sessions also need to cross the previous downward high point of 3368 to confirm. However, the European session was sideways throughout, and the US session also slightly continued the rebound trend and closed hastily. Therefore, at the opening of next week, it is necessary to continue to watch the gold price to test the support of the low point of the Asian session on Friday. In general, the operation ideas for next week are mainly high-altitude, and low-long also look at the rebound short-term.
An Unharmonious Outlook for the New WeekGold Bullish? Sure, go ahead, but let me explain where we are and so on... 🤔
1. Newswise 📰
Tariffwar:
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have intensified following President Trump's tariff hikes. The U.S. increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, while China retaliated with tariffs up to 125% on U.S. goods. Despite these escalations, both countries have engaged in high-level negotiations in Geneva, aiming to de-escalate the situation. However, a recent abrupt withdrawal by the Chinese delegation has cast doubt on the progress of these talks. Analysts caution that even if an agreement is reached, it may offer only temporary relief, leaving markets exposed to prolonged trade tensions.
Federal Reserve does not cut interest rates:
President Donald Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged, calling Fed Chair Jerome Powell a “fool” for not lowering them. 😡 Trump argues that with falling energy prices, stable employment, and low inflation, the Fed should cut rates to stimulate economic growth. 📉
The Federal Reserve, however, remains cautious. 🏦 Officials have expressed concerns that recent tariffs could increase inflation, making premature rate cuts risky. They emphasize the need for clearer economic data before making further policy adjustments. 🧐
In summary: While Trump pushes for immediate cuts to boost the economy, the Fed is taking a measured approach, prioritizing long-term stability over short-term political pressure. ⚖️
War in Ukraine remains tense:
Western leaders, alongside President Zelensky, are calling for a 30-day ceasefire starting May 12. Russia has shown a willingness to negotiate but demands an end to Western military aid — a condition firmly rejected. 🚨
Conclusion: The coming days will be critical. A ceasefire could open the door to new peace efforts. If rejected, expect tougher sanctions and further escalation. 💥
India–Pakistan Conflict:
Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated sharply following a militant attack on Indian tourists in Kashmir on April 22, 2025. India responded with airstrikes, prompting mutual accusations of missile and drone attacks. 💣 Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire announced on May 10, violations followed within hours. Both countries, nuclear-armed, have mobilized troops along the Line of Control. ⚔️ Global powers — including the U.S., U.K., China, and G7 — have urged restraint and offered to mediate. 🌍
2. Technicalwise 📊
1h Timeframe – Bearish Anti-Gartley Pattern
15m Timeframe – Bearish Anti-Butterfly Pattern
That’s not a sign of gold being bullish in the short term. 🚫
Let’s take a look at RSI values across timeframes:
- 5m – 31 – Down ⬇️
- 15m – 37 – Down ⬇️
- 30m – 43 – Down ⬇️
- 1h – 45 – Down ⬇️
- 4h – 46 – Down ⬇️
- 1d – 55 – Up ⬆️
Interpretation of RSI Values 🧐
5m to 4h (31 to 46 – all “Down”)
→ These low RSI values (below 50) across short- to mid-term timeframes indicate ongoing selling pressure and downward momentum. Although not yet in oversold territory (<30), this still signals relative weakness. ⚠️
1d (55 – “Up”)
→ On the daily chart, the RSI is above 50 and rising, suggesting a possible trend reversal or early signs of recovery — a bullish signal over the longer term. 📈
Overall Meaning 🧠
This points to short-term weakness within a broader potential uptrend. The market is soft on lower timeframes — likely in correction or consolidation — while the daily chart begins to show strength. It's a classic pullback setup in an uptrend. 🔄
Possible Strategy Consideration 💡
If you're leaning bullish, look for reversal signals on the smaller timeframes to align entries with the daily trend — such as RSI divergences or breakouts above local resistance. 📊
My Bias 🤔
Bearish sentiment dominates in the short term. Over the next week, I aim to enter short positions targeting $3,200. 📉
If sentiment shifts or key news emerges, a target of $3,400 becomes more realistic. 🚀
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just my personal market idea and not financial advice! 📢 Trading gold and other financial instruments carries risks – only invest what you can afford to lose. Always do your own analysis, use solid risk management, and trade responsibly.
Good luck and safe trading! 🚀📊
Gold gapped, falling over 100 within the day!Let's first look at the news that has affected the trend of gold in the past two days:
In the early European trading on Monday (May 12), gold prices suddenly saw a new round of selling, and the price of gold fell to around $3,207, refreshing the intraday low, and the intraday decline reached nearly $110. Gold prices weakened at the beginning of the new week as the latest optimism about the US-China trade agreement continued to weaken demand for traditional safe-haven assets. At the same time, positive signals from the US-China negotiations eased market concerns about a US recession. This, coupled with the hawkish "standstill" of the Federal Reserve, helped the dollar stabilize near multi-week highs and put pressure on gold. The trend of gold prices seems quite fragile. Gold prices fell during trading on Monday and fell below the main bullish trend line in the short term, which sent a bearish signal, indicating that the trend may change. The trade war easing is not the only factor that has hit gold prices. The ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan seemed to be maintained on Sunday after the two nuclear-armed countries experienced four days of conflict that almost triggered an all-out war. In addition, there has been progress in the Russia-Ukraine and the US-Iran negotiations. Analysts pointed out that the joint statement of the Sino-US Geneva economic and trade talks has just been released. This progress has hit the safe-haven demand for gold and has become the fuse for a new round of gold price selling.
From the overall technical perspective of gold, gold continues to fall back and adjust. In terms of short-term operation ideas, it is recommended to short on rebounds and to go long on pullbacks. In the short term, pay attention to the resistance levels of 3260 and 3283 on the upper side, and the support levels of 3200-3202 on the lower side. (Personal advice, for reference only, specific points, subject to the actual market)
Do you think that those who are bearish in the morning and the trend changes in the afternoon but still refuse to tell you and continue to ask you to hold patiently are the most powerful and prestigious analysts? What kind of logic is this? It doesn't work at all! Because that is our own money. I have always believed that analysts and investors are close, because only in this way can both parties cooperate better and work together to gain greater profits. Now the relationship between analysts and investors in the market is contradictory. Investors no longer trust analysts, or the technical skills of analysts in the market are uneven. Some analysts are just in name only, and the so-called strength has nothing to do with it. As the industry I study, the most important thing is to be trusted and recognized by investors. Analysts do market analysis and provide more stable suggestions to everyone to reduce investment risks. It is impossible for every transaction to be correct. That is something that only gods can do. The relationship between investors and analysts should be collaborators and partners. We should not doubt each other. If so, it is better not to cooperate from the beginning. When you start to question the strength and analysis of the analyst after losing a single order, your behavior may make the analyst no longer dare to guide you, and thus miss the profit you deserve. Here I hope that every customer will be more careful when choosing, pay more attention to his current price guidance, and be cautious about profit screenshots. After all, everyone understands the current PS technology, so I don’t need to say more. Strength and technology are not something you say, but need to be observed.
GOLD FED CAUTIOUS WAIT AND SEE APPROCH
1. Inverse Correlation Between Gold and the Dollar (DXY)
Gold and the U.S. dollar typically share a strong inverse relationship: when the dollar strengthens, gold becomes more expensive in other currencies, reducing demand and lowering gold prices, and vice versa.
Currently, gold’s 30-day correlation to the DXY stands at around -0.68, confirming this inverse link.
However, this relationship has been somewhat disrupted recently due to factors like central bank buying and geopolitical tensions, which have supported gold even amid a strong dollar.
2. Impact of Interest Rate Differentials and Federal Reserve Policy
Gold is sensitive to real interest rates (nominal rates minus inflation). Higher real rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold, typically pressuring prices downward.
The Fed’s recent decision to hold rates steady at 4.25–4.5% led to a slight dip in gold prices from session highs around $3,400 to about $3,371 per ounce, illustrating gold’s sensitivity to U.S. monetary policy.
Despite this, gold remains resilient near all-time highs (~$3,500/oz), supported by ongoing trade uncertainties, geopolitical risks, and central bank demand.
Markets expect possible Fed rate cuts later in 2025, which historically have supported gold rallies. For example, every 25 basis points of rate cuts have been associated with roughly a 3.5% rise in gold prices.
3. Geopolitical and Trade Tensions Supporting Gold
Trade tensions (e.g., U.S. tariffs on China, EU, Canada) and geopolitical uncertainties have increased gold’s safe-haven appeal, at times overriding the typical negative impact of a stronger dollar or higher rates.
Central banks, especially China, continue to accumulate gold aggressively, structurally supporting prices.
4. Summary of Dynamics
Stronger U.S. Dollar (DXY) Generally bearish for gold Negative correlation with gold price
Higher Real Interest Rates Bearish (higher opportunity cost) Fed rate hikes typically strengthen DXY
Fed Rate Holds or Cuts Bullish (lower opportunity cost) Cuts weaken DXY, support gold
Geopolitical/Tariff Uncertainty Bullish (safe haven demand) Can decouple gold from dollar strength
Central Bank Gold Buying Bullish (structural support) Independent of DXY
In essence:
Gold prices in 2025 are influenced by a delicate balance between Federal Reserve interest rate policy, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and geopolitical risks. While higher interest rates and a stronger dollar typically pressure gold, ongoing trade tensions, safe-haven demand, and central bank buying have helped gold remain near record highs. Future Fed rate cuts and easing inflation could further bolster gold, especially if the dollar weakens.

Gold still has the potential to extend to 3420-3430.Fundamentals:
Focus on the Fed's interest rate decision;
Technical aspects:
Gold rose to 3397 and encountered resistance and fell back, and the bulls' momentum was insufficient. But I think the gold bulls are far more than that. Gold is bound to hit 3400, and even continue to the 3420-3430 area; since gold rebounded after hitting 3200, it has repeatedly built a solid bottom structure support below, and the oscillating rise has effectively supported the continued rebound of gold. As the center of gravity of gold moves up, the support structure also gradually moves up. The current short-term support is in the area around 3380-3370, and the second is in the area of 3365-3355.
Trading situation:
According to today's trading strategy: Go long on gold at 3350 in the morning and around 3375 in the afternoon. In order to lock in profits in time, manually close orders at 3366 and 3394 respectively. Today, the total profit in gold long transactions exceeded 360pips.
Trading strategy:
During the rising shock, there are profit opportunities for both long and short parties in some areas, but currently, overall, bulls have the advantage and are mainly long gold. Consider the opportunity to go long when gold falls back to the area around 3380-3370, TP: 3400.
Gold's Symmetrical Triangle Near Break – Support Test Imminent!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) moved as I expected in my previous post and attacked the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines for the second time . The question is, can Gold break the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines or not!?
Please stay with me .
Gold is moving between Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Resistance zone($3,386-$3,357) again . In fact, it can be said that Gold has been moving in a range for the past 5-6 days .
From a Classical Technical Analysis perspective, Gold appears to be forming a Symmetrical Triangle Pattern. A break of either line could indicate the next direction for Gold, but since the Symmetrical Triangle Pattern is a Continuation Pattern , the lower line is more likely to break .
In terms of Elliott Wave Theory analysis , it seems that we still have to wait for the next five downwaves .
------------------------------------------
Today, important U.S. data — JOLTS Job Openings and CB Consumer Confidence — will be released.
Let’s quickly review their potential impact on Gold:
JOLTS Job Openings :
If the number comes lower than expected , it signals a weakening labor market, increasing the chances of a dovish Fed → Bullish for Gold .
If the number is stronger than expected , it indicates a robust labor market, pushing the Fed to stay hawkish → Bearish for Gold .
CB Consumer Confidence :
A drop in consumer confidence reflects economic worries , driving demand for safe-haven assets like Gold → Bullish .
A rise in consumer confidence shows economic strength, reducing the appeal of Gold → Bearish .
Historical Impact :
Both indices have caused strong intraday moves in Gold recently, especially if the figures surprise the market.
Summary :
Weak JOLTS and low Confidence → Gold bullish
Strong JOLTS and high Confidence → Gold bearish
Be prepared for high volatility during the releases. Always manage your risk carefully!
------------------------------------------
I expect Gold to attack the Support zone($3,282-$3,245) and Support lines for at least the third time , and if it breaks, the next target could be $3,223 .
Note: If Gold can move above $3,393, we can expect more pumps and maybe make a new All-Time High(ATH).

Gold - Bearish continuation towards a strong support!Gold has been in a strong and consistent uptrend, supported by macroeconomic uncertainty and a favorable risk environment. However, on the lower timeframes, price action is showing signs of temporary weakness following a sharp sell-off a few days ago.
Currently, on the 4h chart, Gold appears to be forming a bearish continuation pattern, specifically a pennant. This type of consolidation after a fast drop often suggests potential for further downside. If the pennant breaks to the downside, the projected target aligns with the golden pocket of the latest bullish move, between $3,165 and $3,147. Notably, this level also coincides with a strong support zone, making it a high-interest area for potential long setups.
Despite the bearish pennant, the broader trend remains bullish, which means a break to the upside is still possible. However, given the current 4h structure, I'm leaning cautiously bearish in the short term and will be watching closely for signs of strength at the key support.
My plan is to look for long opportunities near the golden pocket, but only if certain criteria are met, primarily, signs of downside exhaustion such as a bullish candlestick formation on the lower timeframes. It's critical not to "catch a falling knife"; confirmation is essential before entering any long trade.
Thanks for your support.

Gold has rebounded in place, go high today firstAfter the gap at 3438 in the early trading, the market crashed and plunged. So far, the long target of 3440 has been achieved! China and the United States are preparing for tariff talks, which is a major negative. Spot gold plunged more than 60 US dollars from 3438 US dollars in the early trading, and it should have reached the top within the day; if there is no major positive push, the early high of 3438 should not be broken again, otherwise once it breaks through 3500, it will definitely break, but it is unclear how far it will go above 3500. At present, while paying attention to the Sino-US tariff talks, the global geopolitical situation should also be focused on: the focus is on the India-Pakistan conflict, the population of the two countries is close to 1.7 billion, and it will be terrible if the situation gets out of control; then the Russia-Ukraine stalemate, the US-Iran crisis, etc. are positive for spot gold, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision tomorrow morning also needs to be paid attention to. Today, China announced the spot gold reserve data. Long and short news hit the market in turn, and it is expected that there is a high probability of continued large sweeps within the day, and the overall trend is short within the day! The market fluctuates greatly and the rhythm is fast. There are opportunities for both long and short positions, and strict loss-taking operations! The first resistance above is the 3405 area, then the 3415-20 area and the early high of 3438 area, which can be used to short spot gold; the support below is 3350-55, then 3320-25
GOLD 1H CHART PATTERNThe chart shows a bullish breakout from a descending trendline after forming a triple bottom support around the 3,250 level on the 1-hour timeframe. The breakout is supported by strong bullish momentum and structure shift, with price making higher highs and higher lows. A successful retest of the broken trendline confirms the reversal. The setup suggests a continuation to the upside with good risk-to-reward potential. Entry is near 3,370, and the stop-loss is placed just below 3,350 to manage risk. This indicates strong buying interest and a potential move toward the next key resistance levels.
Entry : 3375
Target Zone: 3,500
Gold Rebounds Amid Geopolitical TensionsOANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) bounced back to $3,330 amid escalating global tensions, including renewed conflicts on the Russia-Ukraine front and flare-ups along the India-Pakistan border. Safe-haven demand supported the rebound, but the upside may be limited as markets watch US-China trade talks and digest the limited US-UK trade deal. Technically, gold remains in a corrective phase below the $3,365 resistance zone. A clean break above this level could trigger a retest of the $3,413 supply zone. Otherwise, bears may drag it back toward $3,289 and $3,239 support. Traders watch closely for clarity from today’s FOMC speakers.
Resistance : $3,330 , $3,364 , $3,413
Support : $3,289 , $3,239
