Emini S&P September futures

Crashed through support at 5545/35 for a sell signal & hit 5462.
Minor resistance at 5500/05 could see a high for the morning but the best sell opportunity for the day is at 5520/25 & shorts need stops above 5535.
Targets: 5505, 5490, 5470

A break above 5535 is a buy signal targeting 5545 & 5560.

A break below 5458 is a sell signal targeting 5425 & an excellent buying opportunity at 5410/00.
Longs need stops below 5385.

Nasdaq September futures

Emini Nasdaq shorts at resistance at 20030/080 worked perfectly hitting all targets as far as 19600 for a quick & easy potential 450 tick profit

However longs at the buying opportunity at 19530/470 were stopped below 19400 giving back around 100 ticks of the profit on the day.

There is minor support in the 19200/100 area but I do not feel confident that it will holding as downside momentum builds.
If you fancy the gamble, stop below 19,000.

Further losses can target strong support at 18830/730.
Longs need stops below 18600.

Strong resistance at 40400/500 & shorts need stops above 40600.

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.

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.
