EUR/USD - 1.0950.. Although euro retreated fm 1.0988 (AUS) to 1.0957 due to rebound in usd after Trump's tweet with China-bashing comments Thur.Price hit 1.0953 in Europe b4 climbing to 1.1008 in NY morning but only to fall to 1.0938.

On the bigger picture, despite euro's LT upmove fm 2017 near 14-year low of 1.0341 to a fresh 3-year peak of 1.2555 in mid-Feb 2018, subsequent selloff to as low as 1.0778 in mid-Feb 2020 signals said impressive rise has ended. Although price had staged a surprise rally to a 13-month high at 1.1494 in early part of Mar, euro's selloff on renewed usd's strength due to funding demand to a near 3-year low of 1.0637 the same month confirms LT fall fm 1.2555 has resumed n would head twd next chart obj. at 1.0531. Having said that, euro's rise fm Apr's 1.0728 low to 1.1018 in May suggests choppy trading abv 1.0637 would continue b4 another fall n only abv 1.1018 would risk stronger gain twd 1.1147 in late May/Jun.

Today, despite resumption of upmove to a 2-week 1.1008 high, as this lvl was accompanied by 'bearish divergences' on hourly indicators, subsequent fall to 1.0938 after failure to re-test 1.1018 suggests consolidation with downside bias remains, below 1.0938, 1.0903, then 1.0888. Only abv 1.1018 risks 1.1050/54.

EUR/USD climbs to two-week highs beyond 1.1900

EUR/USD is keeping its foot on the gas at the start of the week, reclaiming the 1.1900 barrier and above on Monday. The US Dollar remains on the back foot, with traders reluctant to step in ahead of Wednesday’s key January jobs report, allowing the pair to extend its upward grind for now.

GBP/USD hits three-day peaks, targets 1.3700

GBP/USD is clocking decent gains at the start of the week, advancing to three-day highs near 1.3670 and building on Friday’s solid performance. The better tone in the British Pound comes on the back of the intense sekk-off in the Greenback and despite re-emerging signs of a fresh government crisis in the UK.

Gold treads water around $5,000

Gold is trading in an inconclusive fashion around the key $5,000 mark on Monday week. Support is coming from fresh signs of further buying from the PBoC, while expectations that the Fed could turn more dovish, alongside concerns over its independence, keep the demand for the precious metal running.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin steadies around $70,000, Ethereum and XRP remain under pressure

Bitcoin hovers around $70,000, up near 15% from last week's low of $60,000 despite low retail demand. Ethereum delicately holds $2,000 support as weak technicals weigh amid declining futures Open Interest. XRP seeks support above $1.40 after facing rejection at $1.54 during the previous week's sharp rebound.

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.

Ripple exposed to volatility amid low retail interest, modest fund inflows

Ripple (XRP) is extending its intraday decline to around $1.40 at the time of writing on Monday amid growing pressure from the retail market and risk-off sentiment that continues to keep investors on the sidelines.
