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 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 holds steady above $5,000

Gold builds on the gains it posted to end the previous week and holds steady above $5,000 on Monday. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its Gold 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.

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.

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.
