| Euro VIP Chart |
The Euro is trading in a multi-day sideways range, with
typical trading-range size as we go into today’s Non-Farm Payroll news in the US. We can see the price-action tried to close at
the highs on Monday afternoon but came off those highs slightly before the
closing bell. This morning we expect to
see an opening-print in the middle of the range from Monday, which tells us to
expect range-bound-trading ahead of the news at 830am EST, then we must watch
the reaction to the news and trade accordingly.

| Gold VIP Chart |
Gold is trading in a narrow market personality this morning
after spending the last 3 days inside the same trading-range. Gold appears to be well-balanced ahead of
today’s Non-Farm Payroll news in the US, and we expect to see an opening-print inside
Monday’s trading-range, which suggests that today will be range-bound-trading until
we get the news at 830am EST and we can see the reaction to that news in the price-action.

| Crude Oil VIP Chart |
Crude Oil has been under pressure over the last week of
trading, with price-action moving below the 100.00 big-round-number and marking
3-month lows in price. Monday’s closing-print
is a big clue going into today’s trading session because we have major news
coming out at 830am EST, and the sellers may continue to push this price even
lower. We are expecting the opening-print
to be at or below the PLOD this morning, which will tell us the sellers are
still in control. We will have to trade
around the Non-Farm Payroll news at 830am EST, but once we find the trend we
can get back to trading short below the PLOD this morning.

| Russell VIP Chart |
The Mini-Russell continues to push to new all-time highs
along with the other e-mini’s in the US.
We can see price-action moving higher from day-to-day, however the closing-print
on Monday suggests the sellers may have decided to take control over price-action
as we head into the Non-Farm Payroll news today at 830am EST. We are expecting an opening-print near the PLOD
at 1107.9 so we will be watching closely to see if we open below the PLOD, at
which point we will look for selling-opportunities down to the next support target
below us. We will have to wait to see
how the price-action reacts to the Non-Farm Payroll news at 830am EST before we
can make any strong predictions ahead of the opening-bell at 930am EST.
