{quote} Overall still bearish for weekly and monthly. Bearish still not over yet. D1 uncertain, maybe just for a push start for July. Final bearish will complete its wave soon . Personally, I need a lower ask to become fully bullish. Hopefully, 3800 becomes reality for the final of Monthly Sweep. Just personal ideas; all depends on the current proposal. IMHO

Ignored

my weekly next target was 388X.
so far still bullish under 4H tf.
several buy BE now. Stay sideway waiting NFP release to decide.

But the market is pricing in NFP at only +114k, that is quite a big deviation from your estimate.

While rollover is being made, yesterday triggered a short unwind. Price UP OI DOWN. Because traders were FORCED to sell.

Even IV for gold futures are being compressed when short unwinds yesterday. Had it been rising sharply on the unwinds, more up would be the most probable scenario.

Learn to trade small and win big.
Thats how we get in asymmetric, home runs trade.
Probability and implied volatility percentile and swing cycle are all pointing towards 3150s.

At the current market price of $4,066, XAUUSD is presenting a critical retest of the broken structural floor. Because the price recently broke below $4,065 to touch $4,061, this minor bounce to $4,067 is a prime sell-on-rally (short entry) opportunity, as long as the price fails to reclaim the $4,071 level on the 15-minute chart.

NFP is already being priced in and it will be weaker not hotter. Not sure WHERE you get that number from.

Take away hiring for "World Cup" which is about 40k jobs that is the normal standard.

I have read through your whole analysis and it doesn't make sense. Good luck.

Had my thesis been thrown to trash by NFP,
i need price to reclaim 4280s then dip towards 3980s for me to look for buy opportunites to ride to 5200.
PRice need to validate my second scenario, that is hawkish bet by market is a mispriced move, as inflation expectation keeps falling down while the rise in real yield is purely fiscal unsustainability. This will reflect in term premia as it should rose also.

My main thesis is
Warsh wants fed bal sheet smaller.
YTD, the decomposition of fed holdings had been changing from long duration to short duration.
While long term duration are being let matured(QT-likely), FED absorbed part of short term issuance by US treasury department.
But it is insignificant in terms of absorption, most bill issuance are left for market to absorb So commercial bank are FORCED to absorbed the rest.
There were a buffer called ON RRP, where the need of funds for govt spending were taken from. However, it has been completely drained over the last 4 yrs from $2.7T to roughly $1bn now.

When commercial banks are forced to absorb those short term treasuries, bank reserve falls, while TGA rise. This drains liquidity from the system and Gold, silver and especially bitcoin acts as a liquidity barometer are the first ones to react.
