GBPJPY shows 5 waves of the lows, more upside after 3 waves back

Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

GBPJPY rally from 1/16 low (136.42) is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse which is expected to complete wave ((i)) of a Minute degree, as shown below in the 1 hour Asia chart from 1/19/2017. As far as momentum divergence is intact between wave (iii) and wave (v) of Minuette degree, the impulse structure remains valid.

Elliott wave theory suggest that after a 5 waves move (unless 5 waves complete wave C of a FLAT structure), there should be a 3 waves pull back and another 5 waves move in the same direction higher. So after finishing the first leg higher in wave ((i)), pair should see a 3 swing pullback soon today before another extension higher happens in 5 waves as far as pivot at 1/16 low (136.42) remains intact.

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier.

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

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.
