EUR/USD

The EUR/USD has ended trading sideways in the range between the 1.1615/1.1625 and 1.1665/1.1670 zones. The rate ended the sideways trading by declining to the 1.1590 level.

The 1.1590 level provided the pair with the support that caused a retracement back to the 1.1615/1.1625 zone, which together with two hourly simple moving averages acted as a resistance. In the near term future, the pair could trade sideways between the 1.1590 and 1.1625 levels.

In the case of a surge above the 1.1615/1.1625 zone, the rate would immediately face resistance at the 1.1630 level, where the weekly simple pivot point and the 100-hour simple moving averages are located at.

However, a decline would look for support in the recent low levels at 1.1590/1.1595 and the weekly S1 simple pivot point. Passing of these levels might pause at the 1.1550 level before aiming at the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.1532.

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

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively.
