Gold Under Pressure After NFP Beat – More Downside Ahead?

2 622
Moments ago, the US Non-Farm Payrolls surprised to the upside at 147K (vs 111K forecast), while the Unemployment Rate dropped to 4.1% (vs 4.3% expected).

This stronger-than-expected labor market data reinforces the idea that the Fed has no immediate reason to cut rates. As a result, the USD(DXY) strengthened, and gold came under renewed selling pressure.

If the dollar momentum continues, Gold(XAUUSD) may face further downside in the short term.


In terms of Technical Analysis, Gold fell below the Resistance zone($3,350-$3,326) again after the announcement of US indices and is currently moving near the Support lines and 50_SMA(Daily).

In terms of Elliott wave theory, it seems that Gold has completed 5 impulsive waves in the one-hour time frame, and we should now wait for corrective waves.

I expect Gold to fall again after the upward correction, and the Support zone($3,312-$3,290) could be the target.

Note: Stop Loss (SL) = $3,365
