XAUUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-up details

Updated
In anticipation of the NFP result on Friday, Gold plunged to about 50% retracement of the bullish momentum that started the week but still posted a second straight weekly gain as price action evolved into a reversal pattern just around the bearish trend line identified on the daily time frame. The current structure screams a possible downtrend continuation but I am very much open to the possibility of a bullish continuation after considering the last week's activities.

The week has started with a strong bearish momentum but unfortunately, I missed this move. I have no choice but to wait for a second chance as price action is right on the $1,680 mark which is the major key level identified on the daily time frame.

At a critical position at the moment as price-action is caught within a channel of $1,675 and $1,672. I am looking forward to adding a position if the opportunity presents itself below the $1,670 level.

taken out of the previous position with approximately 1,000 pips as the price returned to the entry zone at the $1,680 level to trigger a huge sell momentum. I sincerely missed this move; just woke up from a short nap. Did you catch the move?

Though the second entry was taken out yesterday but selling tendencies still remain as the price continues to trade below the key level of $1,680 since the beginning of the week. I am not thinking of buying unless the price breaks out the important key level at $1,680.

After thinking that I am done for the week; another trading set-up appears to be sending a bearish continuation pattern. Remember, that price rejected the key level @ $1,680 level to incite a strong bearish momentum during the New York session today to hit the TP target of the previous sell position. I am of the opinion that since price continues to trend below the major key level, the seller appears to still be present so I will be using below the $1,665 level as a yardstick for another selling opportunity.

re-adjusting entry; selling breakdown/retest of $1,666. I hope the market presents an emphatic bearish continuation today.
