Mexican Peso strengthens as USD/MXN breaks lower into final wave five

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

USD/MXN has been in a downtrend since the start of the year, when we also called for an important top as Trump took office. So far, we can see a clear five-wave structure with lower highs and lower swing lows, confirming a strong bearish trend that may not be over yet. After the recent corrective retracement within a projected wave 4 that stopped near 18.96 resistance area, we can now see it resuming lower for the 5th wave, which can extend the decline even down to 18.0 - 17.60 area before a larger recovery shows up.

Big picture

Higher degree A-B-C correction down from 2020 highs. We think that the first part of 2025 can be a bearish reversal for USDMXN, down into wave (B)

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
