EUR/USD Outlook: Bears probe again below key Fibo support

EUR/USD

The Euro returns below 1.10 handle in early American trading on Thursday, following mild reaction on US weekly jobless claims that rose to five-month high and temporarily deflated dollar.
Fresh weakness pressures again key Fibo support at 1.0993 (61.8% of 1.0878/1.1179), cracked earlier today, with close below here to generate bearish signal for attack at daily cloud base (1.0975).
Meanwhile, bears may take a breather and consolidate before final break lower, as oversold daily stochastic and north-heading momentum (although still in the negative territory) suggest. Upticks should ideally stay below falling 55DMA (1.1035) to keep bears in play and pivotal barrier at 1.1064 (broken Fibo 38.2%/30DMA) intact. Focus turns towards Friday's release of EU CPI and a batch of data from the US that may provide fresh signals.

Res: 1.1015; 1.1035; 1.1054; 1.1064
Sup: 1.0989; 1.0968; 1.0949; 1.0903

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.
