Elliott Wave insights: Market bullishness in S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 [Video]

Peter Mathers TradingLounge

Elliott Wave analysis for indices:

The current Elliott Wave count suggests a bullish setup, specifically wave (iii) of iii) of 3 of (1) of 5) for both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100. Recent lower PPI figures are supporting this bullish outlook, and the upcoming CPI figures will be critical in confirming this trend. The recent upward movement aligns well with our long positions, and we anticipate continuing to build on these trades after evaluating the CPI data. Overall, our bullish scenario remains intact and is progressing as expected.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

GBP/USD attacks 1.3300, refreshing three-month lows

GBP/USD is deep in the red near 1.3300, accelerating its downside to renew three-month lows in European trading on Tuesday. The ongoing escalation in the Iran war, combined with rising Oil prices, weighs negatively on the higher-yielding Pound Sterling as the US Dollar capitalizes on increased haven demand.

Gold bounces off lows, back above $5,100

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
