USDCHF - We look to Sell at 0.9870 (stop at 0.9900).

USDCHF - Due to an Ending Wedge formation, we continue to treat extended gains with caution. Selling pressure from 0.9907 resulted in all the initial daily gains being overturned. There is no sign that this bearish momentum is faltering but the pair has stalled close to a previous swing low of 0.9840. Trend line support is located at 0.9835. As this corrective sequence continues we look to set shorts on a rally at better risk/reward levels. Our profit targets will be 0.9820 and 0.9769.

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.

Japanese PM Takaichi nabs unprecedented victory – US data eyed this week
