Gold ready to trade higher today

XAU/USD

Gold made a high for the day exactly at resistance at 3330/3335 & traded down to 3322 but there was only this 100 tick profit offered on shorts.
I think we will break higher today - so a break above 3337 is a buy signal targeting resistance at 3350/3355.

A high for the day is possible but shorts need stops above 3360.

However if we do hold resistance at 3330/3335, targets are 3322 & 3313.

If we continue lower look for a retest of 3305/00.

Failure to hold 3300 on the downside today means we are likely to target 3285/3280, perhaps as far as 3265/60.

XAG/USD

Silver still holding strong support at 3795/3785 and made a low for the day exactly here for the 2nd day, just as I predicted.

We hit the first target of 3830 and I think there is a good chance that Silver could resume the longer term bull trend... It could be worth holding onto these long positions for a few days (or even longer).

There is a good chance of a low for the day again today & even for the short term correction here.

Longs need stops below 3765.
Targets: 3830, 3850.

Although we will probably stall around 3850 I definitely would not sell into short positions because I think eventually we will break above 3855 for a buy signal targeting the 3900/3920 area.

Just be aware that an unexpected break below 3765 can target 3700/3690.

EUR/USD climbs to two-week highs beyond 1.1900

EUR/USD is keeping its foot on the gas at the start of the week, reclaiming the 1.1900 barrier and above on Monday. The US Dollar remains on the back foot, with traders reluctant to step in ahead of Wednesday’s key January jobs report, allowing the pair to extend its upward grind for now.

GBP/USD hits three-day peaks, targets 1.3700

GBP/USD is clocking decent gains at the start of the week, advancing to three-day highs near 1.3670 and building on Friday’s solid performance. The better tone in the British Pound comes on the back of the intense sekk-off in the Greenback and despite re-emerging signs of a fresh government crisis in the UK.

Gold treads water around $5,000

Gold is trading in an inconclusive fashion around the key $5,000 mark on Monday week. Support is coming from fresh signs of further buying from the PBoC, while expectations that the Fed could turn more dovish, alongside concerns over its independence, keep the demand for the precious metal running.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin steadies around $70,000, Ethereum and XRP remain under pressure

Bitcoin hovers around $70,000, up near 15% from last week's low of $60,000 despite low retail demand. Ethereum delicately holds $2,000 support as weak technicals weigh amid declining futures Open Interest. XRP seeks support above $1.40 after facing rejection at $1.54 during the previous week's sharp rebound.

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.
