Alphabet (GOOGL) technical update: Bulls regain control [Video]

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

Over the past months, we discussed GOOGL’s recent five-wave impulse, which set the stage for the recent corrective structure. As expected, the stock has seen a strong rebound over the last two weeks after completing a three-wave decline into the 270 area that we had been tracking. CLICK HERE

After a three-wave move, trends often resume, and in this case, it now looks very likely. Price has broken out of the downward channel and moved above the 317 bullish level, indicating that bulls are back in control. This increases the probability that the stock could push toward previous highs around 345.

As long as price holds above the 270 support, further upside is likely, making short-term buying on dips a favorable strategy.

Highlights

Support at 270 is key to maintaining the bullish structure.
Breakout of the channel and move above 317 confirms bullish momentum.
Upside potential toward previous highs at 345.
Buying dips favored while price stays above support.
For those who bought in the yellow box, tighter stops are recommended.

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. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

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. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

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.
