Gold has consolidated in the 4,050–4,070 range for two weeks. On the daily chart, the downtrend line is flattening and MACD histogram is turning positive.
Before NFP, markets expect 185K new jobs and 4.1% unemployment. A strong print could lift the dollar and weigh on gold; a miss may trigger a break above 4,070.
Strategy: light long above 4,070 with stop at 4,020; if rejected, range-trade 4,030–4,040 with strict size control.
