Not feeling the love for Gold

GOLD

I'm not feeling the love for Gold at the moment.... We nearly hit the 1246 target....which is the 23,6 fib from 1197 to 1263 on the 4 hrly charts.....so lets look to that level initially....If we fail to hold expect further weakness down to 1236 which was the break pit on the way up....This area should hold Gold and provoke a move higher...Spookily enough 1236 is also now the 38.2 Fib...and therefore will offer Gold a lot of protection....

We are overbought on the dailies. So move lower would actually be good for Gold....remember this was a $ move rather than a " we love Gold " move.. so we also have to get our eyes on that little $ Index chart.....

Weekly chart look ok as long as we hold 1236....

We are at 1252 again .......so what we want to do is see if we hold 1246...see if we can oscillate around that level for a while to ease overbought conditions...and if we hold it there will be another try for the topside..

As Iv always said...doubles hold triple tops usually fail ...so any shorts you are out above 1267 as a break above here will lead us higher to 1295/1304.

EUR/USD holds firm near 1.1850 amid USD weakness

EUR/USD remains strongly bid around 1.1850 in European trading on Monday. The USD/JPY slide-led broad US Dollar weakness helps the pair build on Friday's recovery ahead of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence data for February. 

GBP/USD holds medium-term bullish bias above 1.3600

The GBP/USD pair trades on a softer note around 1.3605 during the early European session on Monday. Growing expectation of the Bank of England’s interest-rate cut weighs on the Pound Sterling against the Greenback. 

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

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.
