The EUR/USD pair crashed in the last hours and now is trading at 1.0755 at the time of writing. The bias is bearish, so a deeper drop is natural as the Dollar Index is strongly bullish. Yesterday, the US and Eurozone data came in mixed. Today, the German ifo Business Climate indicator was reported at 91.7 points versus 93.0 points and compared to 93.4 points in the previous reporting period. Later today, the FOMC Meeting Minutes could really shake the markets and could bring new opportunities.

Technically, the rate came back below the median line (ml) signaling that the rebound ended. It has dropped under 1.0762, registering a new low. Still, in the short term, the rate could come back to test and retest the broken levels before going down. Stabilizing below 1.0762 former low activates more declines.

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop.

Gold holds above $5,000 as bears seem hesitant amid Fed rate cut bets

Gold edges lower at the start of a new week, though it defends the $5,000 psychological mark through the Asian session. The underlying bullish sentiment is seen acting as a headwind for the bullion. However, bets for more rate cuts by the Fed, bolstered by Friday's softer US CPI, keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and continue to support the non-yielding yellow metal as the focus now shifts to FOMC Minutes on Wednesday.

Week ahead: Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

The US jobs report for January, which was delayed slightly, didn’t do the dovish Fed bets any favours, as expectations of a soft print did not materialize, confounding the raft of weak job indicators seen in the prior week.

Global inflation watch: Signs of cooling services inflation

Realized inflation landed close to expectations in January, as negative base effects weighed on the annual rates. Remaining sticky inflation is largely explained by services, while tariff-driven goods inflation remains limited even in the US.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
