Dollar Index with strong support at 101.80-102.00 [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

Today, some traders may still be away due to Columbus Day in the US, though the stock market is open while the bond market is closed. But this could still lead to thinner liquidity. The most important event this week will likely be the ECB interest rate decision on Thursday, but before that, we have UK, CAD and New Zealand inflation reports. In the US, the key focus will be retail sales and a few FOMC speakers.

Regarding the markets, we saw some recovery in stocks last week, and this trend could extend further into the start of this week. It could also mean that sooner or later, the US dollar may enter a corrective phase, as discussed last week. We mentioned that the first impulse from September lows is likely facing resistance around the 103 level on the Dollar Index so pullback wouldn't be surprising. In such a case, the 101.80 to 102.30 zone will be key support to watch for a potential new resumption higher.

EUR/USD clings to strong gains above 1.1850 on USD weakness

EUR/USD preserves its bullish momentum to start the week and trades above 1.1850. The US Dollar struggles to find demand ahead of Wednesday's critical January employment report and helps the pair continue to push higher.

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.

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.
