EUR/USD

The EUR/USD has managed to reach the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement support level at 1.08.
The support zone (blue box and green line) could cause the EUR/USD to pauze its downtrend.
If price action builds a bear flag pattern (gray lines), then a downtrend continuation is expected. In that case, price action is probably building a wave 3 (pink or gray). A shallow retracement indicates a wave 3 (gray) of wave 3 (pink) but a deeper retrace could indicate a wave 4 (pink) instead.
If price action is more bullish (green arrow), then a larger bullish retracement is expected to take place. In that case, a wave D-E (pink) pattern is expected.
An immediate break below the support zone could indicate an immediate downtrend.

BTC/USD

BTC/USD has probably made a wave B (gray) at the lower high.
This wave B (gray) seems to be part of a larger ABC (gray) pattern within a wave B (pink).
A deeper bearish retracement could take place if price action stays below the local resistance zone (red lines).
But the Fibonacci levels are expecting to be a support zone if price action indeed completed a wave A (pink) impulse.
A bullish price swing could test the resistance trend lines (orange). A bearish bounce indicates the potential for an ABCDE triangle (gray).
A bullish breakout is part of a wave C (pink) in wave B (red).

US 30

The US30 is in a downtrend channel after breaking below the support zone (dotted green lines):

The US30 weekly chart seems to be building a bearish retracement or reversal after being in a long-term uptrend.
The wave 5 (pink) of wave 3 (red), however, seems completed and price action is retracing within a potential wave 4 (red).
The retracement could go as far as the 23.6% Fibonacci level which could provide a bounce back up.
An ABC (pink) pattern could take price action back as low as the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.
The ABC (pink) pattern could be part of a complex wave W (green).

EUR/USD climbs to two-week highs beyond 1.1900

EUR/USD is keeping its foot on the gas at the start of the week, reclaiming the 1.1900 barrier and above on Monday. The US Dollar remains on the back foot, with traders reluctant to step in ahead of Wednesday’s key January jobs report, allowing the pair to extend its upward grind for now.

GBP/USD hits three-day peaks, targets 1.3700

GBP/USD is clocking decent gains at the start of the week, advancing to three-day highs near 1.3670 and building on Friday’s solid performance.

Gold treads water around $5,000

Gold is trading in an inconclusive fashion around the key $5,000 mark on Monday week.

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.

Ripple exposed to volatility amid low retail interest, modest fund inflows

Ripple (XRP) is extending its intraday decline to around $1.40 at the time of writing on Monday amid growing pressure from the retail market and risk-off sentiment that continues to keep investors on the sidelines.
