EuroStoxx risks are to the downside in the bear trend now

Ftse June contract

FTSE holding good support at 7120/15 for a bounce to 7148/49 then first resistance at 7158/63. We should struggle here in but further gains eventually not out of the question targeting 7186/90 before the 7220/23 area. Above 7230 targets 7255 before short term trend line resistance at 7275/80. On further gains look for 7295/99 then the late February high at 7315/20.

Good support at 7120/15 could hold the downside again today. However below 7100 risks a slide to 7085/81, perhaps as far as support at 7070/65. Below 7045 meets good support at 7000/6990.

Dax June contract

Dax holding above 12420/440 is positive for today but strong resistance at 12520/540 is a selling opportunity with stops above 12595. Despite a great 2 week performance & break above 12440, the outlook is very negative if we fail to beat 12520/540. Obviously holding below 12410 is more negative for today targeting 12370 & minor support at 12345/335. A bounce from here is likely on the first test but may only reach 12410/430. Further losses meet quite good support at 12290/280 & the best chance of a low for the day in the short term sideways trend. A break lower however targets 12225/215, perhaps as far as 12170/160.

Strong resistance at 12520/540 is a selling opportunity in overbought conditions, with stops above 12595. A break above 12600 however runs in to the 200 day moving average at 12660/670. Another big challenge. Above here we hit the 100 dma & January low at 12720/730 & I very much doubt this can be beaten.

Eurostoxx June contract

EuroStoxx risks are to the downside in the bear trend now. Minor support at 3358/55 then 3339/35. On further losses look for 3325/22 before the best support today at 3309/05.

Try shorts at 3385/90 with stops above 3405. An unexpected break higher however targets 3420/25 & 3435/39.

EUR/USD keeps its bearish momentum well in place, slipping back to the area of 1.1850 to hit daily lows on Monday. The pair’s continuation of the leg lower comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar in a context of scarce volatility and thin trade conditions due to the inactivity in the US markets.

GBP/USD resumes the downtrend, back to the low-1.3600s

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Friday’s decent advance, refocusing on the downside and retreating to the 1.3630 region at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the British Pound is expected to remain under the microscope ahead of the release of the key UK labour market report on Tuesday.

Gold looks inconclusive around $5,000

Gold partially fades Friday’s strong recovery, orbiting around the key $5,000 region per troy ounce in a context of humble gains in the Greenback on Monday. Additing to the vacillating mood, trade conditions remain thin amid the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the US.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise
