Do not buy Gold and Silver here [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

The Dollar has been in a very strong recovery this month, and we’ve seen even more strength after the ECB decided to cut rates by another 50 basis points. As a result, more investors are looking to short the Euro and favor the US Dollar due the DE-US yield differential. Despite the Dollar’s strength, stocks are holding up quite well, and metals are also showing a strong recovery, with gold trading above $2,700 and silver breaking to new yearly highs, reaching levels around $34.

The key question is, when normal correlations might return or what could happen with the Dollar moving forward. For me, the Dollar has a very strong bullish direction at the moment, so even if we see some retracement lower, I expect more upside, to around 105. In the meantime, there could be opportunities to look for shorts on some major XXX/USD pairs. I may be looking for shorts on EUR/USD rallies and even the AUD/USD, which seems to be turning lower after Chinese shares pulled-back last week.

Despite bullish dollar, gold and silver are looking strong, but we may run into some “mania” phase on metals. Expect the unpexected; be aware of reversals on metals. Dont buy here.

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

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.
