EUR/USD trapped between 0.95 and 1.00

The EUR/USD remains trapped between the 0.95 support level and parity (1.00) resistance zone:

The EUR/USD did make a bullish bounce (wave A orange) as expected.
But the bullish rebound was milder than we anticipated. Therefore, we changed the expected Elliott Wave pattern to a bearish ABC (orange).
Another bounce at the previous bottom near 0.95 could confirm the end of wave B (green) and the start of wave C (green).
The wave C could end up as a bullish 5 wave pattern finishing at the previous top near the 23.6% Fibonacci level.
A downtrend continuation is expected once the ABC (green) completes the wave 4 (yellow).

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC/USD is moving sideways between $19k and $20 resistance:

BTC/USD is awaiting a break up or down.
A bearish breakout (orange arrow) below the support zone (blue) could confirm a drop towards the $15k and $12k support zones.
A bullish breakout (orange arrows) above the $20 resistance zone (orange) could indicate a retracement towards the 23.6% and 38.2% Fibonacci levels.
A deeper bullish push upwards places this bearish Elliott Wave analysis on hold.
The bearish swing could complete a wave 5 (green) of wave C (yellow) of a wave W (pink) of wave 2 (gray).

Natural gas strong bearish drop approaches $5 support

NGAS is dropping lower quickly as we anticipated last week:

The bearish decline has been marked as a wave 3 (green).
Price action could however stop at the support zone (blue) and make a bounce.
A mild bullish correction marks the end of wave 3 (green) and the start of wave 4 (green).
A bearish breakout (orange arrow) below the corrective pattern indicates a downtrend continuation towards the next Fibonacci target.
This could complete wave 5 (green) of wave 5 (yellow) of wave 3 (pink) of A (gray).
A deeper bullish retracement above $6.4 places this bearish Elliott Wave analysis on hold.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14.
