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 consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
