XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up details

Following another profitable week for us on the XAUUSD (see link below for reference purposes); Gold hit a one-month high on Friday with strong signals that it may be ready to break free of the mid-$1,800 - $1,820 range it has been trapped in the past four weeks. Following the Labor Department reporting a number that again beat forecasts but not as much as in January, a smaller rate hike of probably 25bps looks more likely as against the broadly anticipated 50bps. In this video, we looked at the market strcuture from a technical standpoint with the hopes of identifying a potential trading opportunity ahead of the new week.
