Our weekly analysis on Elliott Waves takes a close look at the EUR/USD, the Bitcoin crypto currency, and the US30 stock market.

EUR/USD retraces and bounces at 61.8% Fib resistance

The EUR/USD failed to make a bearish breakout below the bear flag chart pattern in the past 2 weeks. But now price action has made a bearish bounce at the 61.8% Fibonacci level and is retesting the support line again.

This time around, a bearish breakout seems likely. A daily candle close below the support trend line (green) would confirm the break.
The main target is the round level at 1.10. The bearish price swing could complete a wave 5 within wave 5 of wave C.
An unexpected bullish break above the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance would place this bear flag pattern on hold whereas a strong bullish move invalidates it (red circle).
The EUR/USD seems to be building an ABC (gray) pattern within a larger triangle pattern.

BTC/USD finished bearish wave A

The Bitcoin crypto pair (BTC/USD) has seen some hard hits in its price during recent weeks. Can it fall further?

The short answer is yes. The uptrend seems over and a strong and long bearish correction is expected according to our current Elliott Wave analysis.
However, a 5 wave bearish pattern seems to be completed. The bullish pinbar candlestick pattern could confirm a bullish reversal.
If price action does complete the bearish price swing, then price action has completed 5 waves (pink) in wave A (gray).
The next price swing should be an ABC (pink) pattern in the wave B (gray). After the ABC is completed, the wave C (gray) down should resume.
The main resistance levels of the wave B (gray) correspond to the 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci levels.

US30 also shows five bearish waves

Bitcoin seems to be highly correlated to the stock market. Many of the waves are the same and the US30 also is showing a completed 5 wave pattern in a wave 1 (or A) reversal:

5 waves (pink) seem completed in wave 1 (gray) or wave A.
A bullish ABC (pink) is expected in wave B (gray).
A bearish bounce at the resistance should end wave 2 and start wave C (gray).
A break below the bottom indicates a continued downtrend whereas a break above the resistance could indicate bullish strength.

Gold bulls hesitant below $4,200 as Fed risks and firmer USD cap intraday gains

Gold struggles to capitalize on modest intraday gains and remains below the $4,200 mark, well within a three-week-old trading range. US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s unwillingness to offer fresh cues on further policy moves forced investors to price out the possibility of policy tightening later this month. Moreover, the recent sharp pullback in US government bond yields from multi-year highs, which dragged the US Dollar to a two-week low on Friday, acts as a tailwind for bullion.

Pi Network: Weak momentum and waning demand reinforce downside bias

Pi Network edges lower, risking a bearish conclusion to its short-term consolidation above the $0.0774 horizontal support.
