Oil
Oil returned to bearish trading last week after Donald Trump’s comments regarding increased U.S. oil production,
which heavily pressured oil prices, especially with the ongoing yen crisis.
Oil traded at around $74.5; if it breaks the $73 level, bearish momentum may continue,
targeting the following support levels near $70.
However, if a reversal price action emerges near the current sub-demand levels,
the oil may see a new rise toward $77 per barrel.
Gold
Gold is trading near its historical highs after increasing market risks last week,
Donald Trump’s continuous remarks drive investors to turn to gold as a haven.
Gold closed last week at $2,770, retreating from $2,785,
which might lead to a slight bearish correction to retest the support
levels around $2,760 before rising again towards the historical peak at $2,790,
potentially setting new record highs in the coming weeks.
USDJPY
The USDJPY pair stabilized around 155.95 after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points last week,
strengthening the yen against a basket of currencies.
Provided it remains below the 156.67 level, the pair is expected to target 153.40 in the upcoming period.
Nasdaq
Optimism persists in U.S. stock markets following Donald Trump’s presidency.
The Nasdaq achieved notable gains last week before experiencing bearish trades during Friday’s session.
The Nasdaq is expected to continue its upward momentum,
targeting the historical peak at 22,149, after which a new bearish corrective wave may occur.
EURUSD
The EURUSD pair is trading around 1.0491 after witnessing gains last week due to a weaker dollar and euro recovery.
The pair will likely continue its upward momentum toward resistance levels at 1.0536.
If it breaks this level, the bullish trend may extend to 1.0629.
However, if reversal price action appears around 1.0536,
the pair might return to bearish trades, targeting 1.0433.
