EUR/USD price swings and waves before US elections

EUR/USD is moving higher within a larger uptrend. But the bulls should remain cautious. Why?
Because the price action is corrective and choppy. Which is indicating a larger correction before the US Presidential elections on November 3.
EUR/USD is building a bullish ABC (blue) pattern. This remains valid as long as price stays below the Fibonacci levels of wave wave B vs A.

Price Charts and Technical Analysis

The EUR/USD is building a bullish ABC (blue) pattern. This remains valid as long as price stays below the Fibonacci levels of wave wave B vs A. A larger ABC (purple) correction is developing within the wave 4 (pink).

A wave 4 is usually choppy, corrective and long. A 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level is also very common. A strong bullish bounce at that Fib would confirm the wave 4. Only a strong bearish break below the 61.8% Fib makes the wave 4 (pink) invalid (red x). After the wave 4 ios completed, we are expecting a wave 5 to complete wave A (orange).

On the 4 hour chart, price action could be completing a final wave 5 (green). But price action must respect the Fibonacci levels of wave 4 (green) vs 3. A break below that support zone indicates that the wave C (blue) has already been completed.

A final push up is expected to complete wave 5 (green) and wave C (blue) of a larger wave B (purple) at the 78.6% or perhaps even 100% Fibonacci level. A bearish reversal or breakout could end the wave B and start the bearish wave C.

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

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

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.
