Stocks are climbing up; Gold is undergoing a bearish correction so it looks that risk associated with the Middle East tension is gone. Maybe yes, but there still is one instrument from the safe heaven group, which is showing a great strength – Swiss Franc.

We will start with a small update about the USDCHF, which we were talking about few days ago. Back then, we pointed at the flag pattern and the price bouncing from the crucial resistances. We were bearish. USDCHF did not disappoint us and easily broke the lower line of the flag aiming south. Yesterday’s breakout triggers us a legitimate sell signal.

Next one is the AUDCHF, which also was on our radar in one of our previous analysis. Here, there was no surprise as well. The price tested crucial resistances and after drawing a flag, went lower. The sentiment is negative and the AUDCHF is aiming the lows from the August 2019.

Last one is the EURCHF, where we have a similar setup, so a breakout of the lower line of the flag and a sharp drop. We are also mentioning this instrument to show You the power of the technical analysis. The price patterns in particular. The whole drop started with the head and shoulders pattern and the breakout of its neckline. Then, we had a rectangle and the breakout of its lower line. Then a flag mentioned above. Real beauty and I wish You to find more handsome setups like that in the future!

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.
