TL;DR

Goldman Sachs trading expert, John Flood, predicts a "new dynamic" in the market's reaction to the upcoming payrolls report, stating that extreme results in either direction will be disliked. A rise of over 250,000 or a gain of fewer than 50,000 in nonfarm payrolls would lead to a sell-off in the S&P 500. The ideal scenario would be a rise between 50,000 and 150,000, triggering a gain of at least 1%. However, other elements of the jobs report, such as the unemployment rate, could also impact market sentiment.
