Elliott Wave: Stocks step into correction, BTC drops, can Dollar rally? [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

Last week, stocks dropped and then turned sharply lower, in line with cryptocurrencies, after Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on China, after China introduced tighter export controls on rare earth metals. It looks quite similar to what we saw back in April, when stocks also dropped sharply because of tariffs — usually that’s the normal reaction with fear, when the first news hits, but once the dust settles, we can expect some stabilization. There’s still some optimism that could return this week since President Trump and the Chinese President are still expected to meet.

What’s important to note is that the S&P 500 is now stepping into a new corrective wave four, that is still in progress. During this risk-off phase, the dollar , which interestingly didn’t move much on Friday, could still gain some ground in the near future as investors look for safety, not only in metals but also in cash.

GBP/USD: Daily gains remain capped by 1.3650

GBP/USD leaves behind Monday’s pessimism and advances marginally on Tuesday. Cable’s humble gains, however, appear to have met quite a decent resistance in the 1.3650 zone for now, in a context of a slight selling pressure hovering around the Greenback.

EUR/USD struggles to regain pace; gyrates around 1.1670

EUR/USD clinches humble gains around 1.1670 following Tuesday’s close on Wall Street. Indeed, marginal losses in the US Dollar encourages spot to set aside two dauly pullbacks in a row and maintain the 1.1700 barrier on the cross-hairs for now. Moving forward, US inflation tracked by the PCE and another revision of Q2 GDP data should keep investors entertained on Wednesday.

Gold: Buyers still hold the grip

Gold navigates the middle of its daily range near $4,650 per troy ounce on Tuesday. The lack of clear direction in the yellow metal comes on the back of the widespread cautious tone among market participants, a mildly offered stance in the US Dollar and a marked decline in US Treasury yields across the curve.

BNB Price Forecast: BNB rally stalls as Pasteur hardfork launches on BSC mainnet

BNB (BNB) shows subtle weakness, sliding below $700 on Tuesday. Last week's broader crypto rally propelled BNB to $725 from support around $600. The token native to Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, flaunts a bullish picture. However, momentum indicators signal that the uptrend may be overstretched, raising the odds of an extended correction.

Nvidia earnings: A quick look at expectations

The 2026 Q2 earnings season is nearly over for S&P 500 members, with the reporting cycle notably positive. But looming large this week is none other than AI-favorite NVIDIA (NVDA) , whose results will wrap up the reporting cycle for the Magnificent Seven group as well.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
