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.
