Technical Analysis: Sell the Facts
With the release of non-farm payroll calculators on Friday, it is clear that if gold becomes the newest ever, it is due to the very weak number of employment data. However, as always, we should be careful in anticipation of this accumulation. Even numbers along the consensus can be sufficient to disappoint market shortcomings.
Pivot Point Level on Friday is the first nearest support of $2,854, with S1 support of $2,835. From there, S2 support will need to come in for $2,815. For the correction, a large level of $2,790 (previous high of October 31, 2024) should be able to catch a falling knife.
Conversely, the R1 resistance is $2,874, just below the current all-time high of $2,882. If the rally can be picked up where it left off, the rising level that you beat at a pivotal level point every day is the R2 resistance of nearly $2,893, which is $2,900, as a big number.

Non-Agricultural Salary 1st FAQ
Non-farm salary (NFP) is part of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment report. The non-farm payroll component specifically measures the change in the number of people employed in the US during the previous month, except for the agricultural industry.
Non-farm payroll figures could affect the Federal Reserve decision by measuring how the Fed successfully meets its mission to promote full employment and 2% inflation. . A relatively high NFP figure means that more people are hiring, and perhaps more because they are making more money. In either hand, the results of relatively low non-farm pay can mean that people are struggling to find work. The Fed typically raises interest rates to combat high inflation caused by low unemployment and lowers them to stimulate stagnant labor markets.
Non-farm salaries are generally positively correlated with US dollars. This means that when payroll numbers come out higher than expected, USD tends to recover, and vice versa, when the opposite is low. NFPs affect the US dollar due to inflation, monetary policy expectations and impact on interest rates. A high NFP usually means that the Federal Reserve will usually have more tight financial policies and support USD.
Non-farm pay is generally negatively correlated with gold prices. This means that payroll numbers that exceed expectations have a depressing effect on gold prices, and vice versa. Higher NFPs generally have a positive effect on the value of USD, and like most major products, gold is priced in US dollars. So if you get the value of USD, you will need less dollars to buy a ounce of gold. Also, higher interest rates (usually higher NFPs) reduce the attractiveness of gold as an investment compared to maintaining cash at least that money earns interest.
Non-farm payroll is just one component in a larger employment report and can be hidden by other components. Sometimes, when NFPs appeared higher than expected, but average weekly revenue was lower than expected, the market ignored the potential inflation effect of the headline results and interpreted a decline in revenue as deflation. The time components of participation rates and average time can also affect market responses, but there are rare cases of events such as “massive resignations” and the global financial crisis.
