Short outlook by currency pair
XAUUSD
Gold continued to hold gains after yesterday’s record highs. It consolidated at $4,580 but later jumped towards $4,620 as the softer print in US Core CPI data weighed on the US dollar.
EURUSD
EURUSD traded within a range today with a mild downside bias. The euro lacks a strong driver; technically, the pair looks neutral to slightly bearish.
USDJPY
The yen fell to its lowest at 159.20 against the dollar since July 2024 due to the possible Japanese parliamentary elections in February. However, this is a dangerous level that often sparked the verbal warnings of possible currency intervention.
BTCUSD
Bitcoin keeps holding the key support level of $90,000, still trading within a $90,000–$92,000 range. Overall, the crypto market remains balanced between optimism and caution in search of clearer macro signals.
Market sentiment
The market turned more cautious after recent volatility and gold’s recent highs. The US Core CPI (YoY) advanced 2.6%, matching the previous gain. The January numbers will matter more, but the absence of an inflation increase stays positive for the Fed. However, the market doesn’t predict the next rate cut this month, but in March.
