1.3149 - Tue's NY high (now sup)

  • GBP/USD - 1.3263.. Cable went through a roller-coaster session y'day as despite dropping fm European 1.3300 res to 1.3229, then 1.3183 on renewed Brexit concerns, price pared its losses n rebounded to 1.3259 in NY afternoon.

  • On the bigger picture, 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 in Apr confirms major low has been made. Despite subsequent fall to 1.2662 (Aug), then weakness to a 20-month bottom of 1.2412 at the start of Dec and gain to as high as 1.3218 in Jan due to Brexit optimism, then to 1.3351 in Feb suggests said MT fall has ended. Last week's rise above this res to a near 9-month peak at 1.33 83 suggests upmove fm said 1.2412 low would extend to 1.3472 after consolidation, however, 'bearish divergences' on daily indicators would keep price below 1.3610 20. On the downside, only below 1.3005 indicates temp. top is made, risks 1.2945.

  • Today, although price has rebounded after y'day's resumption of decline fm Mar's nr 9-month peak at 1.3383 to 1.3183 n minor consolidation would be seen, reckon 1.3280/85 would cap upside n yield another fall later. However, 1.3149 (61.8% r of 1.3005-1.3383) should contain downside n bring rebound.

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.

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.
