Commodity Market Elliott Wave Analysis: Bitcoin has an Impulse wave up of its 40k low. Interestingly, this pattern is not confined to Bitcoin alone; similar tendencies are discernible in other cryptocurrencies like DOT and XRP. I intend to engage in a discussion with Kittiampon to delve into these developments further, exploring potential long positions within the crypto market on the up-and-coming Elliott wave abc corrective retracement.

Shifting our attention to the forex market, the USD DXY is maintaining its elevated position. Nevertheless, noteworthy movements are underway, with the CAD and CHF exhibiting indications of a potential downside break, while the AUD and other currencies are showcasing an upward trend. That said, it is not confirmed that the USD / DXY will move lower.

Turning to Precious Metals, silver is manifesting signs of an impulse wave pushing it higher. I am contemplating taking advantage of a buying opportunity during the abc wave b correction. On the other hand, Gold presents a slightly different scenario, prompting me to explore potential entry points during its retracement.

Base Metals, there are unfolding developments suggestive of the later stages of an impulse wave higher for copper, while Iron Ore is still working through Wave B of an ABC corrective pattern before further upside and Uranium is being held at 30.00 dollars Major TradingLevel 3 (TL3) My attention is directed towards identifying potential long trade setups during the retracement phase, with a particular emphasis on stocks such as BHP, RIO, FMG, VALE, among others.

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. The better tone in the British Pound comes on the back of the intense sekk-off in the Greenback and despite re-emerging signs of a fresh government crisis in the UK.

Gold treads water around $5,000

Gold is trading in an inconclusive fashion around the key $5,000 mark on Monday week. Support is coming from fresh signs of further buying from the PBoC, while expectations that the Fed could turn more dovish, alongside concerns over its independence, keep the demand for the precious metal running.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin steadies around $70,000, Ethereum and XRP remain under pressure

Bitcoin hovers around $70,000, up near 15% from last week's low of $60,000 despite low retail demand. Ethereum delicately holds $2,000 support as weak technicals weigh amid declining futures Open Interest. XRP seeks support above $1.40 after facing rejection at $1.54 during the previous week's sharp rebound.

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. Traders should be cautious: despite recent stabilization, upside recovery for these top three cryptocurrencies is capped as the broader trend remains bearish.
