XAUUSD - KOG REPORT - NFP!

This is our view for NFP today, please do your own research and analysis to make an informed decision on the markets. It is not recommended you try to trade the event if you have less than 6 months trading experience and have a trusted risk strategy in place. The markets are extremely volatile and can cause aggressive swings in price.

We’re going to start with what we mentioned in the KOG report on Sunday where we said we would be looking for support during the course of the week and then for the price to push up towards the higher resistance levels where we would be looking to short the market. During the course of the week we hope you can see we’ve kept members in the right way of the market even though our bias is bearish on Gold. So lets look at what the market has done in preparation for NFP.

As we’ve said they will swoop the low for liquidity before bringing it back up towards the 1810-12 level and settle the price for the release. This has all happened this week!

Now looking at the chart we can see we’re settling above previous supply which would suggest the price can target the higher resistance levels. The KOG report suggest the 1808-12 level for the first short 1820 and the 1824-7 level for the next attempt at the short trade.

For NFP we’ll give you two scenarios.

Scenario 1:

If the price comes down to hit the 1804-6 support level and finds support this could represent a good opportunity to long the market in to the immediate resistance levels above of 1816, 1820-22 and above that 1827-32. Please note, if there is no support at the mentioned level its likely we will continue down testing and potentially breaking the 1797-5 support region. A strong resistance at the levels above however could be an opportunity to short the market back down into the lower support regions and potentially lower. We have a KOG target of 1770 which we wanted to see achieved this week but we’re not holding out for it, especially during an event like NFP!

Level to level trading please.

Scenario 2:

If the price pushes down from here we will be looking at the lower support regions of 1777 and below that 1770. We’re not interested in the 1797-5 level as support anymore and would rather miss the opportunity to long the market at that levels. We feel the lower support regions will represent a good opportunity to long the market but only into the immediate resistance level above which would be 1785 and above the 1795-7.

Hope this helps members. Even with our bearish view on Gold we’ve managed to keep you in the right direction as always, taking shorts and longs this week into the levels and targets we’ve mentioned. We would like to see how this NFP plays out and where the market closes today to confirm our view for the rest of the month of February.

As always, trade safe.
