Facebook ($FB) Elliott Wave Analysis: Pullback Remains In-progress

Facebook ticker symbol: $FB short-term Elliott wave analysis suggests that the rally to $203.55 ended primary wave ((1)). Down from there, the pullback in primary wave ((2)) remains in progress in 3, 7 or 11 swings to correct cycle from 3/26/2018 low. The internals of that pullback shows an overlapping structure thus suggesting that the correction takes the form of corrective structure i.e either (W),(X),(Y) or (W),(X),(Y),(X),(Z) structure within the intermediate degree.

Below from $203.55 high, the pullback is proposed to be unfolding as Elliott wave double three structure where Intermediate wave (W) ended at 193.11, Intermediate wave (X) ended at 200.75, and Intermediate wave (Y) of ((2)) remains in progress. The internal of Intermediate wave (W) also unfolded as a double three structure where Minor wave W ended in 3 swings at $199.31, Minor wave X ended $202.24 and Minor wave Y of (W) ended at $193.11 as a Flat. Up from there, intermediate wave (X) also unfolded in 3 swings as Elliott Zigzag structure with Minor wave A ended at $199.40, Minor wave B ended at $195.98 and Minor wave C of (X) ended at $200.83 high.

Down from there, intermediate wave (Y) of ((2)) remains in progress as another double three structure. Internals of that decline ended Minor wave W in 3 swings at $192.22 and Minor wave X ended at $197.45. Near-term focus remains towards $188.91-$186.90, which is 100%-123.6% Fibonacci extension area of Intermediate wave (W)-(X) to end primary wave ((2)) pullback. Afterwards, the stock is expected to find buyers for primary wave ((3)) higher ideally or should do a 3 waves reaction higher at least. We don’t like selling it into a proposed pullback.

AUD/USD is extending its consolidative price action above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Wednesday, uninspired by hot Chinese CPI and PPI data. Meanwhile, rising RBA rate-hike bets act as a tailwind for the Aussie amid Yen-inspired US Dollar weakness. Traders await the release of US inflation figures later in the week for fresh impetus.

USD/JPY stays in red near 153.50 amid aggressive BoJ hike bets

Gold bounces up to $4,400 with the bearish trend intact

Gold trims losses with price action returning to the $4,400 area during the European morning session, after bouncing from $4,345 lows on Tuesday.

Pi Network's rebound holds as momentum improves

Pi Network (PI) extends its recovery on Wednesday, trading above $0.098 after finding support around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average earlier this week.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
