Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) shows an incomplete sequence from June 3, 2019 low with a 100% extension target towards 306.3 – 313.2. In the chart below, we took the more aggressive view of the rally. We label the pullback to 273.09 on June 3 as wave ((2)). Wave ((3)) higher is in progress with subdivision as an impulse in lesser degree.

Up from 273.09, wave (1) ended at 302.23 as an impulse. Wave (2) pullback ended at 277.17. Up from there, wave 1 of (3) is expected to complete soon and the ETF should pullback in wave 2 to correct cycle from August 6, 2019 low in 3, 7, or 11 swing before the rally resumes. As far as pivot at 277.17 low stays intact, expect the ETF to extend higher. Possible target is 100% extension from June 3 low at 306.3 – 313.2. We don’t like selling the ETF.

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.

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.
