Elliott Wave intraday shows bullish sequence in GBP/USD [Video]

GBP/USD recently broke above previous peak on 7.14.2023 high at 1.3143 and shows a higher high bullish sequence from 9.26.2022 low. This leaves no doubt about the right side and direction of the pair which is higher. Near term, rally from 4.22.2024 low is ongoing as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Up from 4.22.2024 low, wave 1 ended at 1.3045 and pullback in wave 2 ended at 1.266. Pair has turned higher and broken above wave 1 suggesting wave 3 is in progress.

Up from wave 2, wave (i) ended at 1.277 and dips in wave (ii) ended at 1.272. Pair extended higher again from there. Up from wave (ii), wave i ended at 1.287 and pullback in wave ii ended at 1.2798. Pair extended higher in wave iii towards 1.313 and wave iv pullback ended at 1.307. Final leg wave v ended at 1.323 which completed wave (iii). Expect pair to end wave (iv) and rally 1 more leg to end wave (v) which should complete wave ((i)). Then it should pullback in wave ((ii)) to correct cycle from 8.8.2024 low in 3, 7, 11 swing before the rally resumes. Near term, as far as pivot at 1.266 low stays intact, expect dips to find support in 3, 7, 11 swing for further upside.

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace. A central bank threatening to tighten into a visible slowdown is not a recipe for conviction in either direction, and the tape shows it.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen coiled at the line, leaning on everyone but Japan

The Yen is doing very little, and that stasis is the whole story. USD/JPY sits glued near 160.00 not because Japan has found new strength, but because two outside forces are fighting to a draw over it: a US rate complex that keeps the dollar bid, and a Ministry of Finance that refuses to let the line break.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
