Elliott Wave: Price action signals a Christmas rally [Video]

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and welcome to our market update for this holiday-shortened week. As you know, it will most likely be a slow week, especially from Wednesday onward when the holidays begin and trading activity usually fades. But we could still see some risk-on flows resume, particularly after the strong rebound and turnaround in stocks last week, while the dollar can come down from resistance.

If you recall, the US unemployment rate came out higher than expected last week, and CPI also softened more than forecast. All of this supports the view that the Fed could continue with its cutting cycle, and that narrative is still driving markets into year-end. With the dollar under pressure, we are also seeing metals trading nicely to the upside. We also see JPY weakening despite the BOJ hiking rates on Friday. For now, the market seems to be ignoring BOJ, and moves in yen crosses are mostly linked to risk-on flows.

In our latest webinar for this year, I will talk about lot of FX pairs, SPX, GOLD, SILVER, Crude and BITCOIN.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, enjoy it and thanks for sticking around!

EUR/USD eyes 1.1800 barrier near two-month highs

EUR/USD extends its gains for the second consecutive day on Tuesday and approaches 1.1800. On the daily chart, technical analysis indicates a persistent bullish bias, as the pair moves upward within the ascending channel pattern. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index at 68.89 reaffirms the bullish bias.

GBP/USD climbs to 1.3500 area, renews ten-week high

GBP/USD extends its weekly rally and trades at its highest level since early October near 1.3500. The US Dollar remains under persistent bearish pressure heading into the holidays, while Pound traders largely brush off the latest interest rate cut from the Bank of England.

Gold approaches $4,500 as record-setting rally continues

Gold builds on Monday's impressive gains and advances toward $4,500, setting fresh record-highs along the way. Heightened geopolitical tensions, combined with the broad-based US Dollar (USD) weakness ahead of the Q3 GDP data, help XAU/USD preserve its bullish momentum.

Uniswap holds above $6 as traders eye UNIfication vote outcome

Uniswap price holds above $6 at the time of writing on Tuesday after closing above a key resistance zone in the previous week. Traders are focusing on the highly anticipated UNIfication proposal, which is set to conclude on Thursday, and could become a key near-term catalyst. On the technical side, momentum indicators are flashing bullish signals, hinting at an upside rally.

Ten questions that matter going into 2026

2026 may be less about a neat “base case” and more about a regime shift—the market can reprice what matters most (growth, inflation, fiscal, geopolitics, concentration). The biggest trap is false comfort: the same trades can look defensive… right up until they become crowded.

XRP steadies above $1.90 support as fund inflows and retail demand rise

Ripple (XRP) is stable above support at $1.90 at the time of writing on Monday, after several attempts to break above the $2.00 hurdle failed to materialize last week. Meanwhile, institutional interest in the cross-border remittance token has remained steady.
