I am biased

Res 1.0950/00

Supp 1.0800/10 , 1.0765

and some other price line points in between

No big surprises in the jobs data… EURUSD extending high after a brief hesitation,, post data range 1.0843-88… 1.0850 will set the trading bias

Re the US jobs report, some way it doesn’t matter much this time around but those who trade know it always matters in terms of a reaction.

This time,, a miss on the downsaide would seem to generate the strongest reaction given concerns over the economy.although it could be explained away by distortions from severe winter storms.

If what I heard is accurate, a stronger report would not necesssarily spell relief with the impact of DOGE job cuts yet to be reflected in the data and tarrifs hanging over the economy as a cloud.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART – Still in a range

Remains in a tight 2890-2930 range.

Abobe 2930 exposes 2945 and the 2956 record high.

Below 2789 and 2859 expose the 2832 low again

.
Using the 2832-2930 range, midpoint is 2881 but 2900 seems to be setting the tone

Using my platform as a HEATMAP shows

The dollar trading weaker (except vs commodity currencies),

There was no apparent catalyst as markets await the  US February jobs report (see detailed preview).

Regarding the jobs data, I heard yesterday that the DOGE cuts will not be reflected in this month’s report.

EURUSD 1h

1.08550 taken out – if it closes this week above it, road is open for test of long time resistance trendline at 1.11800

That much on the big picture, so let’s now concentrate on trading possibilities intraday.

In a bit over 2.5h data are coming, and in mean time this is what we have:

Resistances: 1.08750, 1.09000 & 1.09500

Supports: 1.08450, 1.08200 & 1.07750

I expect pull backs from here, and waiting for a chance to get Long – either on approach to 1.08200 or Pattern creation after some consolidation ( in case it goes sideways and never reach it)

From the Savvy Trader: Are the FX dynamics changing

The huge increase in EU defense spending coupled with The US tariffs  may be changing the dynamics of the FX market from a responsive sell high buy low market to a trending market within a bigger neutral range.

If this is so then the extent of trend may surprise the complacent.

NAS100 WEEKLY CHART – WATCH 20000

You can see by this chart why 20000 is significant as below it lies 19600-19882 and then a void.

So keep an eye on 20000 as that will dictate what comes next. .

US500 DAILY CHART – New low

US500 setup for a low was never confirmed… This is why it is called a setup

Now it is dependent on 5670-95 holding or see a void on the downside. New low set today is at 5710.

Back above the prior low at 5732 and then 5800 would be needed to ease the risk.

XRPUSD

Another day, another move up – beware of 2.85 and of course 3.00.

If XRP wants to move seriously higher , it should not go below 2.25-2.35
