EUR/USD, “Euro vs US Dollar”

EUR/USD is testing the resistance area. The instrument is going above the Ichimoku Cloud, which suggests an uptrend. A test of the Tenkan-Sen line at 1.0745 is expected, followed by a rise to 1.0925. An additional signal confirming growth will be a rebound from the lower border of the bullish channel. The scenario can be cancelled by a breakout of the lower border of the Cloud, securing under 1.0655, which will indicate a further decline to 1.0565.

NZD/USD, “New Zealand Dollar vs US Dollar”

NZD/USD is testing the upper border of the bearish channel. The instrument is going inside the Ichimoku Cloud, which suggests a sideways movement. A test of the upper border of the Cloud at 0.6110 is expected, followed by a decline to 0.5915. An additional signal confirming the decline will be a rebound from the upper border of the descending channel. The scenario can be cancelled by a breakout of the upper border of the Cloud, securing above 0.6145, which will indicate further growth to 0.6235. The decline could be confirmed by a breakout of the lower border of the bullish channel, securing under 0.6035.

USD/CAD is pushing off the signal lines of the indicator. The instrument is going under the Ichimoku Cloud, which suggests a downtrend. A test of the Tenkan-Sen line at 1.3360 is expected, followed by a decline to 1.3225. An additional signal confirming the decline will be a rebound from the upper border of the descending channel.

GBP/USD hovers near 1.3600 as UK government crisis weighs on Pound Sterling

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 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.
