The Nonfarm Payroll number will move Gold and Silver today [Video]

Jason Sen DayTradeIdeas.co.uk

Gold hit my target and made a high for the week exactly at strong resistance at 4290/4305, reversing from 4302.

I projected that we could fall as far as first support at 4240/4230.

Longs worked perfectly with a bounce from 4230 to 4275 on the 1st bounce, and an afternoon retest saw a bounce from 4223 to an over night high at 4261 (as I write).

Again today, longs need stops below 4220.

Of course the direction of Gold & silver today will be determined by the US Non Farm Payroll release.

A break lower targets support at 4195, perhaps as far as strong support at 4170/4160.

Longs need stops below 4145. Just be aware that a break lower can target 4130/4120.

A retest of strong resistance at 4290/4305 gives us another sell opportunity but shorts need stops above 4315.

A break higher is another buy signal for today & we could see further quick gains towards strong 5 month trend line resistance at 4355/4360.

Shorts need stops above 4375.

XRP Price Forecast: XRP nears critical $1.00 support

Ripple (XRP) remains pressured on Friday, trading around $1.03 at the time of writing. The token appears to hold this current level as support but lacks a catalyst to sustain a knee-jerk rebound toward the next key resistance at $1.10.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
