Gold buyers keep eyes on US NFP, inverse Head and Shoulders
Early Friday, Gold price reverses the previous day’s pullback from a two-week high as traders await the US monthly employment data for July. That said, the recent bias supporting the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) frequent rate cuts in 2024 allowed the precious metal to remain firmer within an inverse Head and Shoulders (H&S) bullish chart formation. Apart from that, the bullion’s successful recovery from the 50-SMA, bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI conditions also underpin the upside bias about the spot Gold price known as the XAUUSD.
With this, the Gold price appears well-set to rise within the aforementioned bullish chart formation. The same highlights a five-week-old support-turned-resistance line surrounding $2,480 as an immediate upside hurdle. Following that, the neckline of the head and shoulders pattern, close to $2,494 by the press time, quickly followed by the $2,500 threshold, will be crucial to watch. In a case where the quote manages to stay firmer past $2,500, it becomes capable of aiming for the theoretical target of the inverse H&S formation, namely the $2,700 psychological magnet.
On the contrary, Gold buyers remain hopeful unless the quote breaks an upward-sloping support line from mid-February, near $2,381. Also restricting the bullion’s short-term downside is the 50-SMA support of around $2,365. In a case where the precious metal stays weaker past $2,365, it defies the bullish chart formation and becomes vulnerable to drop further toward the lows marked in June around $2,280. That said, the $2,300 and May’s bottom of $2,277 will act as additional supports to watch during the XAUUSD’s further downside.
To sum up, the Gold price remains in the bullish trend and signals further advances ahead of the key US employment data comprising the widely known Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP). Hence, the scheduled data’s capacity to harm the XAUUSD buyers appears limited even with the upbeat outcome.
