The GBPUSD day chart, interpreted through Elliott Wave theory, highlights a trend in an impulsive mode. The current wave structure under observation is Orange Wave 3, indicating a strong upward momentum in the market. This wave forms part of a larger Navy Blue Wave 3, which suggests that the overall trend remains bullish.

At present, the market is positioned within Navy Blue Wave 3, following the completion of Orange Wave 2. This implies that the corrective phase in Orange Wave 2 has likely ended, with the market now advancing into Orange Wave 3. As this impulsive wave progresses, it is expected to drive the market higher, consistent with the prevailing bullish trend.

The analysis also forecasts the next lower degree, Orange Wave 4, which is expected to follow once Orange Wave 3 completes. Typically, Orange Wave 4 would represent a corrective phase within the broader trend before the market resumes its upward movement in the next impulsive wave.

The Wave Cancel Invalid Level is set at 1.26658, serving as a crucial threshold in this Elliott Wave analysis. Should the price fall below this level, it would invalidate the current wave count, indicating that the market might be following an alternative wave pattern or that the trend structure has shifted.

In conclusion, the GBPUSD day chart is in an impulsive trend mode, with the market currently within Orange Wave 3, part of a larger Navy Blue Wave 3 structure. The completion of Orange Wave 2 indicates that the market is now progressing, with Orange Wave 3 actively in play. The Wave Cancel Invalid Level at 1.26658 is a key level to confirm the continuation of this analysis.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie.

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.
