AUD/USD – NZD/USD

AUDUSD we wrote: Above 6410 retests important 4 month trend line resistance at 6435/45; stops above 6465.

Shorts here were stopped for a more positive outlook for today targeting a selling opportunity at 6500/10.

NZDUSD we wrote: holding first support at 5990/80 (low was 5991, although it was probably too early to have allowed us to buy here) targets 6030/40 perhaps as far as resistance at 6050/55. Shorts need stops above 6070.

This was a little frustrating because we topped at 6075...I like to be pinpoint accurate...but if you managed to hold shorts the pair collapsed to 6017.

Daily Analysis

AUDUSD holding first support at 6450/40 targets a selling opportunity at 6500/10 (swing trade opportunity – we could head significantly lower from here) with stops above 6540.

I think the downside is limited for today but below 6435 risks a slide to 6420/10. If we fall as far as 6390/80, try longs with stops below 6360.

NZDUSD holding first support at 6010/00 allows a recovery to 6030/40 perhaps as far as resistance at 6060/70. Shorts need stops above 6090. A break higher is a buy signal targeting 6105/10 & 6125/30.

Longs at 6110/00 stop below 5990. A break lower is a sell signal targeting 5955/45, perhaps as far as strong support at 5900/5890.

EUR/USD holds firm near 1.1850 amid USD weakness

EUR/USD remains strongly bid around 1.1850 in European trading on Monday. The USD/JPY slide-led broad US Dollar weakness helps the pair build on Friday's recovery ahead of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence data for February.

GBP/USD hovers near 1.3600 as UK government crisis weighs on Pound Sterling

GBP/USD moves sideways after registering modest gains in the previous session, trading around 1.3610 during the European hours on Monday. The pair could come under pressure as the Pound Sterling may weaken amid a fresh government crisis in the United Kingdom.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano steadies as whale selling caps recovery

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA. However, the technical outlook suggests bearish momentum is weakening, raising the possibility of a short-term relief rebound if buying interest picks up.

Japanese PM Takaichi nabs unprecedented victory – US data eyed this week

I do not think I would be exaggerating to say that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap general election gamble paid off over the weekend – and then some. This secured the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) an unprecedented mandate just three months into her tenure.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively. BTC is hovering around $70,000, while ETH and XRP are facing rejection at key levels. Traders should be cautious: despite recent stabilization, upside recovery for these top three cryptocurrencies is capped as the broader trend remains bearish.
