Elliott Wave: Bitcoin is at support as DXY trades into resistance [Video]

In our free Elliott wave webinar you can check some of interesting analysis with important key points below.

Some important market key points:

Federal Reserve (Fed) and the USD

  • The Fed is expected to maintain its current interest rate of 5.5% with no changes anticipated.

  • The Fed will likely focus on economic data and forecasts rather than increasing rates.

  • Even if the Fed adopts a hawkish stance, market reactions may still be influenced by the “buy the rumor, sell the news” phenomenon.

  • The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has increased by 6% from its summer lows, partly driven by higher energy prices, which could support a hawkish Fed stance.

  • Higher energy prices can lead to higher inflation, which, in turn, can drive up yields and the value of the USD.

EUR/USD and the ECB

  • The European Central Bank (ECB) has raised rates to 4.5%, and CPI is at 5.3%.

  • Market outlook for EUR/USD appears to be flat or ongoing an a-b-c pattern.

GBP/USD and the BOE

  • The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to increase rates from 5.25% to 5.5% on September 21.

  • CPI is expected to rise to 7.1% on September 20.

USD/JPY

  • No significant shifts are expected from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) meeting.

  • BoJ plans for a quiet exit from yield curve control and intervention if USD/JPY nears 150.

AUD/USD + USD/CNH

  • The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) may release meeting minutes, having kept rates on hold for the last three meetings.

  • China’s still with economic issues makes aussie weak.

USD/CAD

  • CAD is gaining strength due to persistent inflation concerns. 2.8% was reported in July, then up to 3.3% reported in August, and now expectations are 3.8%. So inflation is still here, that’s why CAD is showing some strength I believe, for the last week or so.

EUR/USD struggles near 1.1850, with all eyes on US CPI data

EUR/USD holds losses while keeping its range near 1.1850 in European trading on Friday. A broadly cautious market environment paired with a steady US Dollar undermines the pair ahead of the critical US CPI data. Meanwhile, the Eurozone Q4 GDP second estimate has little to no impact on the Euro. 

GBP/USD recovers above 1.3600, awaits US CPI for fresh impetus

GBP/USD recovers some ground above 1.3600 in the European session on Friday, though it lacks bullish conviction. The US Dollar remains supported amid a softer risk tone and ahead of the US consumer inflation figures due later in the NA session on Friday. 

Gold remains below $5,000 as US inflation report looms

Gold retreats from the vicinity of the $5,000 psychological mark, though sticks to its modest intraday gains in the European session. Traders now look forward to the release of the US consumer inflation figures for more cues about the Fed policy path. The outlook will play a key role in influencing the near-term US Dollar price dynamics and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding bullion.

US CPI data set to show modest inflation cooling as markets price in a more hawkish Fed

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

Autonomous AI does not just threaten trucking companies and call centers. It challenges the cognitive toll booths that legacy software has charged for decades. This is not a forecast. No one truly knows the end state of AI.

Solana Price Forecast: Mixed market sentiment caps recovery

Solana (SOL) is trading at $79 as of Friday, following a correction of over 9% so far this week. On-chain and derivatives data indicates mixed sentiment among traders, further limiting the chances of a price recovery.
