Daily Market Report – Gold Above Critical Support October 06, 2017

Gold Bounce Or Break?

The yellow metal dropped significantly in the yesterday’s trading session and reached new lows. Price changed little today, but maintains a bearish bias on the short term. Gold is trading right above an important dynamic support, a valid breakdown will announce a further drop.

The price is into a corrective phase as the USDX has finally managed to rebound on the short term. Gold should drop further if the USDX’s breakout above the 93.81 will be validated. The greenback is expected to dominate the currency market in the upcoming period if the United States data will come in better today as well.

The economic calendar is filled with high impact data, the US Unemployment Rate is expected to remain steady at 4.4% for the second month in September, while the Average Hourly Earnings could increase by 0.3%, more versus the 0.1% in the former reading period. Moreover, the NFP will be released as well and is expected to be reported at 82K. You should keep an eye on the economic calendar to see what will move the price.

Gold dropped much below the $1270 per ounce and is almost to reach the sliding line (SL) of the ascending pitchfork, where he may find support again. Support can be found at the 61.8% retracement level. However, a breakdown below the mentioned support levels will confirm a reversal on the short term and a drop much below the $1250 per ounce.

NZD/USD Breakdown Has Finally Come

Price is going down very fast and ignores all support levels. I’ve said in the previous reports that the NZD/USD should drop further and should take out the dynamic support from the wl5. Now is pressuring the 61.8% retracement level, could ignore this as well if the USDX will reach new highs. The pair is trapped between the WL3 and WL2, but is could develop a Falling Wedge pattern if will fail to reach the 0.7053 horizontal support.

AUD/USD At New Lows

AUD/USD resumed the yesterday’s impressive sell-off. Is moving down after the false breakout above the median line (ml) of the minor descending pitchfork. The downward was paused by the 0.7755 horizontal support, but the US figures can send it towards the next major downside target (WL1).
