Gold has been consolidating in a narrow sideways range for the past few days, trading with a slight downside bias today in anticipation for the employment report. A breakout of this trading range is expected following the release of the report, and accordingly, we will base our strategy on the possible outcomes of the employment report.
Spot Gold
Support: 1240.00, 1233.00, 1225.00, 1210.00, 1200.00
Resistance: 1248.00, 1260.00, 1270.00, 1290.00, 1300.00

Recommendation Scenario

1: If Non-farm Employment change: at or above 165,000 and Unemployment Rate at 7.5 or below Short gold targeting 1220.00,1200.00 and 1180.00 Scenario 2: If Non-farm Employment change: below 160,000 and Unemployment Rate at 7.6 or above Long gold targeting 1270,1300.00 and 1320.00 We prefer to avoid any other scenario as it will be a mixed number and may cause sharp volatility.
