Emini SP 500, Nasdaq, Emini Dow Jones

Emini S&P JUNE we wrote: negative bearish engulfing candle was a warning to bulls – coupled with a diverging stochastic, this could signal an over due correction to the downside.

Nice call yesterday as we broke first support at 4120/10 to target 4083/80 & 4050/40. We bottomed exactly here.

Nasdaq JUNE we wrote: now holding 13350/380 perfectly on the bounce to target 12970/930.

A perfect call. These levels were the high & low for the day offering an easy 400 ticks profit.

Emini Dow Jones unexpectedly broke very strong support at 33730/660.

Daily analysis

Emini S&P bottomed exactly at our lower target of 4050/40. Below 4035 tests 7 month trend line support at 4020/15. Longs need stops below 4005. A break lower targets 3985/80.

First resistance at 4100/4110. Above 4120 allows a recovery to 4145, perhaps as far as strong resistance at 4160/70. Shorts need stops above 4180.

Nasdaq bottomed exactly at the 12970/930 target. This is the best support for today. However below 12900 risks a slide to 12650/600, perhaps as far as the 200 day moving average at 12500/480.

Minor resistance at 13200/200. Strong resistance at 13360/390. Above 13410 is more positive for initially targeting 13550 then strong resistance at 13630/670.

Emini Dow Jones unexpectedly broke very strong support at 33730/660. Holding below here targets 33330/300, perhaps as far as important 8 month trend line support at 32150/110. Below 32000 look for very important 14 month trend line support at 32800/750.

First resistance at 33800/850. Strong resistance at 34000/100. Shorts need stops above 34200. A break higher targets 34440/450.

EUR/USD hovers around nine-day EMA above 1.1800

EUR/USD remains in the positive territory after registering modest gains in the previous session, trading around 1.1820 during the Asian hours on Monday. The 14-day Relative Strength Index momentum indicator at 54 is edging higher, signaling improving momentum. RSI near mid-50s keeps momentum balanced. A sustained push above 60 would firm bullish control.

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 sticks to gains above $5,000 as China's buying and Fed rate-cut bets drive demand

Gold surges past the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Monday in reaction to the weekend data, showing that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Federal Reserve 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.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Weekly column: Saturn-Neptune and the end of the Dollar’s 15-year bull cycle

Tariffs are not only inflationary for a nation but also risk undermining the trust and credibility that go hand in hand with the responsibility of being the leading nation in the free world and controlling the world’s reserve currency.

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.
