  • GBP/USD - 1.2788.. Cable traded sideways in Asia on Tue b4 dropping fm 1.2881 to 1.2821 in Europe. Price then rose to session highs at 1.2884 b4 tank- ing to an intra-day low at 1.2776 in NY on usd's broad-based strength.

  • On the bigger picture 1st, cable's rally fm 2016 31-year bottom at 1.1491 caused by a 'flash crash' on Brexit worries to 2018 21-month peak at 1.4377 (Apr) confirms major low has been made. Having said that, subsequent selloff to as low as 1.2662 in Aug due to usd's strength suggests 1st leg of correction is over n consolidation is seen, as long as 1.3298 (reaction high) holds, re-test of 1.2662 can't be ruled out, 'bullish convergences' on daily indicators shoud limit weakness to 1.2441 (50% proj. of 1.4377-1.2662 fm 1.3298). Abv 1.3176 sig- nals low is possibly made n risks re-test of 1.3298, break there would turn out- look bullish for gain twd 1.3519 (this is 50% r of 1.4377-1.2662) in Dec/Jan.

  • Today, although y'day's retreat fm 1.2884 suggests the recovery fm last Thur's 2-week low at 1.2725 has ended at 1.2885 Mon n downside bias remains, as hourly oscillators' readings would dispaly 'bullish convergences' on next fall, reckon 1.2697 would hold. Only abv 1.2885 risks stronger retrace. twd 1.2936.

Editor's Picks

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 holds medium-term bullish bias above 1.3600

The GBP/USD pair trades on a softer note around 1.3605 during the early European session on Monday. Growing expectation of the Bank of England’s interest-rate cut weighs on the Pound Sterling against the Greenback. 

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.
