Sharing My Friday Watchlist From Group On
News:
- USD Unemployment came out higher than expected 4.2% vs forecasted 4.1% (previous 4.3%)
- NFP Numbers came out lower than expected at 29k vs forecasted 89k (previous 133k)
- Overage Hourly Earnings M/M came out lower at 0.1% vs forecasted 0.3% (previous 0.3%)
Investors will look at this dovish report as a lower chance of the FED increasing rate with concern of stagflation. Dollar selling off, Gold & Stocks catching a bid.
Stock Index:
- Aggressive 30minute RBR created on the ES around $7,760. Would like to see how price respects this move over the next 1 hours. If so, then small risk buying opportunity. This 30minute/1hr demand level can also be used as a HTF and wait for scalps on the 1/5minute TF.
Gold:
- Moved my SL up a bit to half risk on the gold long mentioned 2 days ago with my TP around $4,250. This is a confirmation 2.0 longs signal created from the NFP numbers around $4,220. This level could also be used by traders looking to add to their position, or scalpers can use it as an HTF and wait for 1/5-minute confirmation.
Dollar:
- A market I like is AUD and NZD currencies with price inside 4hr levels of demand + max short position. Looking at a small-risk buy setup around 0.693 area, but would like to see how price closes over the next 1 hour.
- NZD is also an interesting market going based on the "technicals" daily TF overextended + inside daily demand. This would be the aggressive setup on the 1hr TF, without waiting for daily confirmation. Personally, I like AUD more and would instead like to check back on NZD over the weekend.
