$USD/SEK and $USD/MXN holding the $USDX [Video]

The $USDX peaked back on 09.29.2022. Since then, the Index has been dropping. The Index is at risk of ending the cycle since the lows back in 2008. This means a huge selling could be happening now. We explained the idea in this article, published on 09.21.2022. We knew the $USDX was about to enter wave 4. At this stage, that’s where we think the Index is. Wave four should still extend lower due to bearish sequence in pairs like the $USDSEK and $USDMXN. Both these pairs have not yet reached the target within their own sequence. The $USDMXN peaked on 04.2020. Since then, it has been doing an ABC lower. It already erased the divergence between A and C, but it has not yet reached the ideal Blue Box target.

Monthly USD/MXN Elliott Wave chart

Chart

The chart above shows the monthly view of the $USDMXN and the blue box target where buyers should enter the market. The $USDSEK also shows a bearish sequence from the peak on 09.28.2022. It shows two channels, and the second one comes with momentum divergences. The decline from the peak has a corrective structure, which we labeled as WXY. Now we are entering wave Y leg, which should also reach the extreme. We expect both pairs to trade lower. If that is the case, $USDX should be weak consequently.

Chart

The chart above shows the $USDSEK Daily view and how the pair should move. The divergence between wave (W) and (Y) needs to be erased by the time we reach the blue box target.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues.

Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano steadies as whale selling caps recovery

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA.
