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 weakens to near 1.1900 as traders eye US data

EUR/USD eases to near 1.1900 in Tuesday's European trading hours, snapping the two-day winning streak. Markets turn cautious, lifting the haven demand for the US Dollar ahead of the release of key US economic data, including Retail Sales and ADP Employment Change 4-week average.

GBP/USD stays in the red below 1.3700 on renewed USD demand

GBP/USD trades on a weaker note below 1.3700 in the European session on Tuesday. The pair faces challenges due to renewed US Dollar demand, UK political risks and rising expectations of a March Bank of England rate cut. The immediate focus is now on the US Retail Sales data. 

Gold sticks to modest losses above $5,000 ahead of US data

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses through the first half of the European session, though it holds comfortably above the $5,000 psychological mark and the daily swing low. The outcome of Japan's snap election on Sunday removes political uncertainty, which along with signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, remains supportive of the upbeat market mood. This turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the safe-haven precious metal.
