Weekly Waves: EUR/USD, Bitcoin and gas

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

  • A bearish breakout (orange arrow) below the support zone (blue) could confirm a drop towards the $15k and $12k support zones.

  • NGAS is dropping lower quickly as we anticipated last week.  The bearish decline has been marked as a wave 3 (green).

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:

  1. The EUR/USD did make a bullish bounce (wave A orange) as expected.

  2. But the bullish rebound was milder than we anticipated. Therefore, we changed the expected Elliott Wave pattern to a bearish ABC (orange).

  3. Another bounce at the previous bottom near 0.95 could confirm the end of wave B (green) and the start of wave C (green).

  4. The wave C could end up as a bullish 5 wave pattern finishing at the previous top near the 23.6% Fibonacci level.

  5. 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:

  1. BTC/USD is awaiting a break up or down. 

  2. A bearish breakout (orange arrow) below the support zone (blue) could confirm a drop towards the $15k and $12k support zones.

  3. A bullish breakout (orange arrows) above the $20 resistance zone (orange) could indicate a retracement towards the 23.6% and 38.2% Fibonacci levels.

  4. A deeper bullish push upwards places this bearish Elliott Wave analysis on hold.

  5. The bearish swing could complete a wave 5 (green) of wave C (yellow) of a wave W (pink) of wave 2 (gray).

NGAS is dropping lower quickly as we anticipated last week:

  1. The bearish decline has been marked as a wave 3 (green).

  2. Price action could however stop at the support zone (blue) and make a bounce.

  3. A mild bullish correction marks the end of wave 3 (green) and the start of wave 4 (green).

  4. A bearish breakout (orange arrow) below the corrective pattern indicates a downtrend continuation towards the next Fibonacci target.

  5. This could complete wave 5 (green) of wave 5 (yellow) of wave 3 (pink) of A (gray).

  6. A deeper bullish retracement above $6.4 places this bearish Elliott Wave analysis on hold.

GBP/USD defends 1.3300 after strong UK PMI data

Following Thursday's sharp decline, GBP/USD clings to small gains above 1.3300 in the American session on Friday, supported by the upbeat UK Retail Sales and July PMI data. Nevertheless, the pair's upside remains capped as investors cling to a cautious stance amid a further escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The US July PMI data failed to trigger relevant price action.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1400 after mixed US PMIs

EUR/USD pressures daily lows below the 1.1400 mark in the American session on Friday. Mixed S&P Global PMIs, as manufacturing output contracted while services activity expanded in July, triggered no relevant market reaction. The focus remains in Middle East developments and inflation-related concerns.

Gold holds above $4,050 but momentum still missing

Gold builds on its modest intraday bounce and climbs above the $4,050 level on Friday, hitting a fresh daily high amid a modest US Dollar pullback. The fundamental backdrop, however, warrants some caution before confirming that the pullback from an over two-week high, touched on Wednesday, has run its course and positioning for any meaningful upside.

Ethereum: Derivatives interest in ETH improves, but signs of caution remain

Ethereum is hovering slightly below the $1,900 level, down 3% on Thursday following a slight expansion in derivatives interest. The top altcoin's open interest has increased to 14.60 million ETH, marking a 600K ETH increase over the past two days and its highest level since June 7.

XRP retreats as ETF interest cools
Ripple (XRP) slides toward the short-term $1.10 support on Friday, as broader crypto market sentiment weighs on crypto assets. The sell-off mainly stems from fears of inflation in the United States (US) amid the ongoing war in the Middle East and rising Oil prices.
US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?
The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
