Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Short term Elliott Wave chart below suggests the dips to 8848.71 ended wave ((4)). This is part of a larger implusive rally which started from 3.23.2020 low. Wave ((5)) is currently in progress as 5 waves in lesser degree. Up from wave ((4)) at 8848.71, wave 1 ended at 9143, and pullback in wave 2 ended at 8925.50. Index then resumed higher in wave 3 towards 9417.25 and wave 4 pullback ended at 9273.

Final leg higher in wave 5 ended at 9510.75 and this also completed wave (1) of ((5)). Wave (2) pullback is currently in progress to correct cycle from 5.14.2020 low before the rally resumes. Internal subdivision of wave (2) is unfolding as a double three where wave W should end soon as a zigzag. Index should then bounce in wave X and then turn lower again in 3 waves to complete wave Y of (2).

Index should then resume higher again in wave (3) of ((5)) provided that pivot at 8848.71 low stays intact. Dips in the Index should find support in 3, 7, or 11 swing against 8848.71 in the first degree. If pivot at 8848.71 low fails, then Index may have ended cycle from 3.23.2020 low. In this case, a larger pullback should happen before Nasdaq resumes again.

AUD/USD slips below 0.70 as Bullock dovishness trumps soft PCE

The Aussie Dollar posted losses of 0.57% against the US Dollar on Wednesday, even though US data trimmed hawkish bets on the Federal Reserve, while the dovish tilt of RBA’s Governor Michele Bullock weighed on the antipodean. At the time of writing, the AUD/USD trades at 0.6947 after peaking at 0.6995.

USD/JPY stays weak below 157.00 amid Japanese intervention risks

USD/JPY keeps losses below 157.00 in the Asian session on Wednesday, as hawkish BoJ expectations, along with intervention risks, underpin the Japanese Yen, countering dismal domestic factory output and retail sales data. Meanwhile, a broad US Dollar retreat also collaborates to the pair's downside.

Gold meets resistance just above $4,200

Gold now makes a U-turn and recedes toward the $4,150 region per troy ounce on Wednesday. Indeed, the precious metal fades the earlier move past the key $4,200 yardstick and retreats marginally as the US Dollar trims part of its daily losses amid mixed US Treasury yields.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC recovers $84K, XAU slips amid softer US PCE

Bitcoin (BTC) gains traction, rising above $84,000 on Wednesday as buyers return after softer-than-expected United States (US) inflation data. The Crypto King marks a second straight day of gradual recovery, building on the demand area between $82,000 and $83,000. Gold (XAU/USD), meanwhile, slides toward $4,100 after being rejected at the daily high of $4,219.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025, but a fresh inflation shock in the Eurozone could give the Euro an unexpected lifeline. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
