Gold

Here's my analysis after the Asian close.

The Asian high is holding, with multiple rejections at 2870.40. Same story with yesterday's high.

I'm thinking short, but I'll probably wait for the red news to play out first.

If I sell, my take profit targets are 2844.78, 2831.97, 2819.16, 2806.35, and 2793.54.

Just my opinion, and of course, it's Friday, so be careful out there!

We have a bullish daily candle with no bottom wick.
if i were to trade the way i trade on 5m/15m candles...id expect Daily to start printing double tops on lower time frames then dropping down flash sale causing daily candle to flip bearish and fill the previous daily wick. this move will be 210 pips roughly. of course we wont take 210 pips...i will take 20-30 pips and let the rest run and manage accordingly. but this is something id look for.
we have a daily resistance zone so if we do push and break above the highs @ 2873 im thinking we can look at 2822. to complete the range and wick fill. however if this does play out it could just be to grab liquidity for a move down next week. this probability is unlikely, gold is more like to keep driving without a daily bottom wick.
if this analysis of candle flip does play out and fills the previous daily wick, and closes...it also leaves a daily wick up top for monday/tuesday next week to start bearish and flip bullish to then just drive and fill all the daily wicks it made this week. and we will see 2900. however i PREFER to see gold today...flip bearish. targets will be 2844 or something (closures)

For all the short sellers out there...

The only thing that can keep alive the shorts is the rejection of the 261.8% on the weekly chart.

A close below the 2820 can form a doji on the weekly and possible rejection of the level indicating a correction.

Otherwise 3,000 a very likely target.

Sell day

2835 looks like a good spot to go long – it's holding up as a strong low key level at the moment.

I think today will be bearish day, news will come to take all highs then make it's way back down to next key area

I think today is a whiplash day.

And I think 50 level is gonna be visited again then goes up. Im gonna watch if buyers still active there.

Major sentiment is on the sellside today.
But do watchout if you are looking for sells . Caz usually during such red folder days , the majority gets wiped out before actually going their way .

I opened buy position from 2860 and wait for NFP ... let's see.

2 mins til new year guys. let's goooo.

overall NFP quite good, jobs acceptable, unemployment down, wage up. lets go longs

As planned

Gold is ready to RUN!!

Mixed data both party is going to get fried ! Importantly 2871 is still unbroken, so Sell bias can be safe in the later hours

This is starting to be a joke
Are we all stupid

yup. no doubt.

Yea we are

A close below '53 will see a serious dump to below, '20. Let me wait for direction, that was a pretty underwhelming move

Sells looking more likely to hold rn

the 15 minute candle is having a crazy swing.

Doesn't have to be that way.
