AUD/JPY breaks higher: Wave three recovery in motion after channel break [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

We are updating the AUDJPY chart as the pair continues to rise as anticipated, following the strong support and bullish reversal we identified on June 19, 2025. At that time, AUD/JPY was forming a clear bullish setup, which has since played out to the upside.

audjpyjuneD — AUDJPY Daily Chart From June 19 2025

AUDJPY is in a very strong recovery, now moving beyond the 78.6% level and pushing above 104 after the base channel was broken back in December. This suggests that the move is wave three rather than wave five, so the whole recovery from the April 2025 lows can continue and may eventually reach the July 2024 highs. For now, the uptrend remains in play and more upside is expected after any fourth wave retracement, as long as the market is trading above the 100.95 invalidation level.

EUR/USD holds firm above 1.1900 as US NFP looms

EUR/USD holds its upbeat momentum above 1.1900 in the European trading hours on Wednesday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Markets could turn cautious later in the day as the delayed US employment report for January will takes center stage.

GBP/USD remains above nine-day EMA near 1.3650

GBP/USD recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading around 1.3680 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a sustained bullish bias, as the pair trades within an ascending channel pattern.

Gold sticks to gains near $5,050 as focus shifts to US NFP

Gold holds moderate gains near the $5,050 level in the European session on Wednesday, reversing a part of the previous day's modest losses amid dovish US Federal Reserve-inspired US Dollar weakness. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the critical US NFP release.

US Nonfarm Payrolls expected to show modest job gains in January

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls data for January on Wednesday at 13:30 GMT. Investors expect NFP to rise by 70K following the 50K increase recorded in December.

S&P 500 at 7,000 is a valuation test, not a liquidity problem

The rebound from last week’s drawdown never quite shook the sense that it was being supported by borrowed conviction. The S&P 500 once again tested near the 7,000 level (6,986 as the high watermark) and failed, despite a macro backdrop that would normally be interpreted as supportive of risk.

BNB prolonged correction signals deeper bearish momentum

BNB (BNB), formerly known as Binance Coin, is trading below $618 on Wednesday, marking the sixth consecutive day of correction since the weekend. The bearish price action is further supported by rising short bets alongside negative funding rates in the derivatives market.
