Risk-on sentiment holds as markets monitor US-Iran developments

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

Good morning, traders!

Stocks are still holding up well after reports suggested that the US and Iran were stepping back from further military escalation, easing concerns over the fragile ceasefire that is supporting ongoing peace negotiations. As a result, continue watching for support and a potential recovery, while the US Dollar remains in a correction that could extend further, as Treasury prices are still looking for a larger corrective rally. The 10Y US Notes chart is still pointing higher within wave "c", which could unfold as an intraday five-wave bullish cycle.

Therefore, after a subwave (iv) pullback, we may see another push higher for subwave (v) of wave "c". A recovery in Treasuries could keep the DXY in an intraday corrective pullback within wave "iv", which may take the form of an abc correction or a more complex wxy pattern before continuing higher in wave "v". The ideal support remains around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, where wave "iv" would also equal wave "ii", near the 100.60 level. The invalidation level and the key bull/bear line remain at 100.00.

GBP/USD is rebounding toward 1.3250 in the European session on Monday. The pair recovers ground as the US Dollar uptrend falters and traders resort to profit-taking ahead of Tuesday's US-Iran peace talks and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's appearance on Wednesday at the ECB Forum.

EUR/USD hold gains around 1.1400 amid US Dollar weakness

EUR/USD is attempting a tepid bounce above 1.1400 in European trading on Monday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Traders continue to assess the developments surrounding talks to end the US war with Iran. The European Central Bank's annual forum and the US June employment data will be the highlights later this week.

Gold stays in red near $4,050 as US-Iran clash revives inflation fears

Gold price remains in the negative territory around $4,050 in Monday's European trading. The bullion struggles as military clashes between the United States and Iran in the strategic Strait of Hormuz have revived inflation concerns, bolstering Fed rate hike expectations. However, a broad US Dollar retreat is helping limit Gold's downside.

BTC rebounds; ETH and XRP defend key support following recent correction

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are showing early signs of stabilization after a correction of nearly 6%, 8% and 7% respectively, over the previous week. BTC reclaims $60,000, ETH is holding firmly above the critical $1,500 support level, while XRP is also attempting to stabilize around the key $1.00 psychological level.

How Kevin Warsh upended the game plan for Gold

Something is breaking inside the Federal Reserve's new strategy, signaling a massive regime change for macro markets. Under the leadership of newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, the traditional framework of forward guidance and predictable rate paths could be dismantled soon.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
