๐ DAILY BIAS
๐ด BEARISH
Gold is heavy. Price is trading below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day SMAs. that cluster of moving averages is a wall above $4,392. Bulls sold the open and couldn't hold $4,130 all day. Sellers are in control until price reclaims the $4,165 area with conviction.
๐ฅ BREAKOUT WATCH
Eyes on $4,195. That's where the descending daily trendline sits and sellers have defended it twice already. Clean break above that and $4,225 opens up fast. Buyers need real catalyst to crack it. FOMC minutes Wednesday is the trigger or the killer.
๐ PULLBACK WATCH
$4,092 is the floor right now. Bulls tested it today at the low and barely held. Lose that level on a daily close and $4,000 is the next stop. and that's a psychological line nobody wants to see break.
๐ฐ WHAT'S MOVING GOLD TODAY
June NFP printed 57,000 jobs. less than half the 110,000 forecast. and gutted Fed rate hike bets, dropping September hike odds from 66% to 50%. Dollar broke below 101 on the news, which should have launched gold. Instead, bulls bailed. Traders are de-risking ahead of ADP today and FOMC minutes Wednesday. the first release under Chair Warsh who stripped forward guidance from the June meeting entirely.
โ ๏ธ WHAT TO WATCH TOMORROW
FOMC minutes drop Wednesday and this is the one. Warsh gave markets nothing at the June presser. the minutes are the only read on where 18 officials actually stood on the next hike. Hawkish tone kills the $4,092 floor. Dovish tone and gold squeezes back through $4,165 fast.
๐ ECONOMIC CALENDAR
ADP Employment Change hits today. a strong number re-prices September hike odds higher and adds pressure to gold. FOMC meeting minutes release Wednesday, July 8. June CPI follows on July 14 and that's the next macro grenade.
