Elliott Wave View: EUR/USD Can See Further Weakness [Video]

Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

EUR/USD short term Elliott Wave view suggests the decline from 1.6.2020 high is unfolding as a double three Elliott Wave structure. Down from January 6 high, wave ((w)) ended at 1.1132 and bounce in wave ((x)) ended at 1.1168. Pair extended the decline to 1.1084 which ended wave ((y)). This decline also ended wave (W) in larger degree. Pair then bounced as a zigzag within wave (X). Wave A of (X) ended at 1.1147, wave B of (X) ended at 1.1103, and wave C of (X) ended at 1.117.

After ending wave (X), pair resumed lower and it has broken below wave (W) at 1.1084. Pair now shows incomplete sequence from 1.6.2020 high suggesting further downside is likely. Down from wave (X) high at 1.117, wave ((a)) ended at 1.1075 as a 5 waves impulse and wave ((b)) bounce ended at 1.1118. Near term, while bounce stays below 1.117, expect pair to extend lower. Rally thus should see sellers in the sequence of 3, 7, or 11 swing as far as pivot at 1.117 high stays intact. Potential target lower is 100 – 123.6% Fibonacci extension from 1.6.2020 high which comes at 1.102 – 1.105.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
