How quickly things can change, an hour or so ago i was within 3$ of beign stopped. Ive taken a third off at 53 and i have moved my stop up on the rest to 37. NFP tomorow so being cautious. price has hit the first troubled area at 53 as seen on daily chart as being old resistance/support. will look to take more at 63 and then let the rest go. no obvious target to me.

1363 is just a random number, i see no obvious target, 1365 is a 50% retracement of the move down from jan 1st.

the blue line is the 50 day ema.

This is looking pretty good so far.

Here are the charts and entries and my current channels.

We are out of range for past four days of $20.

Price buoyed a bit today on news, yet 1325 held strong.
May be some EUR/USD longs ditching Euro for Gold after Trichet statements.
Plus even with OK jobs report USD is weak amongst it DXY components overall.
even with the euro falling.

AUD has caught a bit of fire. Should have doubled up on that trade. DAMN.
Oh well! Can't complain profit is profit.

gold currently retracing a bit, actually i think this is quite healthy, because if it had gone up all night i would be thinking at nfp would reverse it.
hopefully it will not get too near my SL now at 37 before the data comes out.

what are you guys expcting as a reaction here? i never really looked at gold during nfp much before, too busy trading the euro.

bad number= higher gold prices???

anyway gold is more fundamental than technical.
depends on the usd.

I'm happy these trades are finally in profit. Thinking about taking the last entry off the table. (that is one positive thing about metatrader accounts)


Usually. Be fast though. smash and grab if you are going to trade the report without standing positions.

if the number is really off negatively it may set the trend. otherwise gold can swing wildly in both directions.

your analogy below is mostly the case.

It's not that simple. If the number is really really bad, people will get totally scared and think only of one thing: liquidity. They will sell even gold in order to have $$$ in their pockets.

I think the price action in September 2008 is pretty interesting in that respect.

Boring price action in gold until now. Not even my longs at 1345 were triggered.

Oh nooooo.... USDJPY failed to trigger my longs by just 5 pips It would have been the easiest 60 pips in my career!

unable to push up any today. twice tested 1357.

Perhaps back and fill now.

China and HKG were closed today for Chinese New Year.

Perhaps monday plays catch up.

between my two downtrend lines.

One H1 candle piercing the red dashed line and the second forming above.

Need to break the next line and close above or in area and we may have a new trend emerging.

here are the charts

Ill post a close up/ looks like gold is gunning for breach of the overshoot line.

see below its dashed purple

scaling out- there is minor resistance at 1356 where we are now.

A close in this range will be good.
