Price charts and technical analysis

The EUR/USD is making a bullish break as expected. The swing up is probably a wave C (grey) of larger ABC pattern (grey).

The main targets are therefore the -27.2% and-61.8% Fibonacci levels. Also the 78.6% and 88.6% Fibonacci retracement levels are key.

A bearish reversal could take place in this resistance zone.
The bounce (orange arrows) would confirm the end of the ABC (grey) in wave B (pink).
A bearish wave C could take place in the larger wave 4 (purple).
Later on, even a wave D and E could develop as part of a triangle pattern.

On the 1 hour chart, price action completed a bearish abc pattern(light blue) in wave 4 (orange).

The bullish swing is showing strong momentum. This is probably a wave 3 (light blue).

A bull flag chart pattern (grey arrows) would confirm the expected wave 4 (light blue) pattern. But price action must not break below the top of wave 1 otherwise the wave analysis becomes invalid (red circle).

The analysis has been done with the ecs.SWAT method and ebook.

AUD/USD sticks to neutral bias above 0.7100 amid cautious markets

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Monday as the US Dollar stalls its modest pullback from the highest level since late July amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties. The PBOC status quo on Loan Prime Rates also weighs on the Aussie. However, bets on another RBA rate hike continue to underpin the Australian Dollar ahead of the Trump-Xi Summit.

USD/JPY eases below 157.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY is easing back below 157.00 in Asia on Monday, undermined by modest Japanese Yen strength amid looming intervention risks after Friday's BoJ rate check. A Japanese holiday also keeps traders on edge amid escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. As a result, the US Dollar pauses its pullback, limiting the pair's downside.

Gold: Sellers test $4,350 on renewed USD upside

Gold kicks off the new week on a weaker note following Friday's failure near the $4,400 mark. The commodity currently trades near the $4,350 level as traders await further developments surrounding the Middle East crisis and their implications for inflation. This would influence interest rate expectations and, in turn, drive the non-yielding bullion.

Dogecoin extends gains as ETF inflows return and momentum improves

Dogecoin extends its recovery, trading above $0.088 after gaining nearly 6% last week. The bullish price outlook is supported by the return of institutional demand through DOGE spot Exchange Traded Funds. Meanwhile, improving momentum indicators and signs of whale accumulation suggest a positive outlook for the dog-themed meme coin.

Economics week ahead

This week is light on the domestic data front, with focus on Thursday's new home sales report. We expect sales to partially recover in August, rising 2.6% to a 623K pace after a sharp decline in July. Higher mortgage rates continue to weigh on affordability and demand, though builder incentives remained in place and conditions did not worsen materially during the month.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
