Elliott Wave: EUR/USD with big upside potential [Video]

In this Elliott Wave Live session from Monday, January 12 (3 PM CET), I focused on the main drivers for the week, the Trump versus Fed headlines, US CPI, and rising US Iran uncertainty, all of which can create a choppy start with Monday flows that often get retraced.

On DXY the wave structure still points lower as long as we stay below 100.40, and that matters because the current environment can keep the dollar weak even if stocks also pull back, so watch for that temporary positive correlation.

On stocks, SPX is at new highs but overlaps and slowing momentum are worth respecting, especially if Nasdaq stays stuck while Russell pushes higher, which can hint at rotation and late cycle behavior. In FX, EURUSD still looks like a late stage triangle with a wave E pullback, GBPUSD is near resistance with a better buy zone likely on a deeper retracement, while NZDUSD looks cleaner for a potential bottom if it breaks out of the corrective channel, and USDCHF still suggests one more leg down but with SNB risk.

Commodities stayed bid on uncertainty, with gold and silver strong and crude oil turning higher on geopolitics, while crypto remains vulnerable with Bitcoin still looking for another leg lower, which also keeps pressure on names like Coinbase and MicroStrategy.

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.
