Gold Breaks the Wedge — Eyes on Non-Farm

Gold Breaks the Wedge — Eyes on Non-Farm

Gold continues to trade in a broad sideways range as investors await this week's Non-Farm Payrolls report, a key catalyst that could determine the market's next major move. From a macro perspective, the US–Iran negotiation story remains stalled, with no meaningful progress so far. As a result, the market still lacks a strong enough driver to establish a clear directional trend. From a technical standpoint, gold has successfully broken out of the previous wedge pattern and is now retesting several important support zones. Key Levels to Watch Support: 4450, 4420, 4400–4394, 4382–4370 If selling pressure intensifies, additional support zones to monitor are: 4354, 4300 Nearest resistance: 4486–4494 If price successfully breaks above this area, gold could extend its recovery toward 4535–4540, followed by 4555–4595. Trading Plan My current view remains: Buy low – Sell high within the current sideways range. Until the Non-Farm Payrolls data is released and the market breaks out decisively from either side of the range, range-trading strategies remain my preferred approach. "The market doesn't always need to move immediately. Sometimes the best trade is simply being patient and waiting for a major catalyst to reveal the next direction." 🔥 What do you think? Will Non-Farm provide the momentum needed for gold to extend its recovery toward 4555–4595, or will selling pressure drive the market back toward 4382–4300?
