Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Short term Elliott Wave view suggests the USDX is correcting cycle from 9.28.2022 high in an expanded flat structure. Down from 9.28.2022 high, wave (A) ended at 100.82 and wave (B) is still ending a flat correction higher. Up from 100.82 wave A ended at 105.88. Then we saw 3 swings lower to end wave B at 99.58 and after that, the index rallied in wave C of (B). The dollar should be near to end wave (B) where market will turn lower in wave (C).

1 hour chart below shows wave ((iii)) of C ended at 105.43 high. Down from wave ((iii)), wave (a) ended at 104.82 and pullback in wave (b) ended at 105.25. Final leg higher wave (c) ended at 104.66 which completed wave ((iv)). Dollar index has resumed higher in wave ((v)). Currently, it is still developing wave (i) and once completed, the dollar should see 3, 7 or 11 swings lower to finish wave (ii) and rally again in wave (iii) of ((v)). The view is valid as stays above 104.66 low. A break below this level, open the possibility that wave ((v)) is ended and therefore wave C of (B).

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
