HG_F Elliott Wave four-hour chart 10.22.2026

Copper has delivered the expected decline within the cycle from the 6.9275 peak, as explained in our previous article. The commodity has formed a clear seven-swing pattern within this cycle and approached the extreme zone at 6.367 (Equal Legs) . As usual, we use the Fibonacci Extension tool, measuring W relative to X, to identify the Buying Zone. We expect buyers to step in around the mentioned Equal Legs area, where the commodity should produce at least a  three-wave bounce before next leg down takes place. As approximate target area for the (x) bounce we use 50-61.8 fibs retracement zone against the 6.9275 peak.

HG_F Elliott Wave four-hour chart 11.03.2026

Copper found buyers right at the Equal Legs zone of 6.3673, as expected. The commodity produced a decent bounce, reaching the 50%–61.8% Fibonacci retracement zone against the previous high of 6.9323, between 6.650 and 6.716. The recovery completed in that area, followed by another sharp decline toward new lows.

Currently, the commodity shows incomplete sequences from the 6.9323 peak, suggesting that further downside could unfold in the coming period. In the meantime, a three-wave bounce from the 6.3860–6.2925 area remains possible.

AUD/USD drops to two-week low, further below 0.7000 after RBA's less hawkish rate hike

AUD/USD drifts lower for the second straight day on Tuesday, hitting a fresh two-week low during the Asian session after the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) widely expected 25 bps rate hike. The decision was far from unanimous, with three members preferring to hold rates at 4.60%. This tempers expectations of further tightening, which, along with modest US Dollar strength, weighs on the currency pair.





USD/JPY fails near 159.00 amid weak USD, intervention risks

USD/JPY edges lower during Tuesday’s Asian session, reversing part of the previous day's gains to 158.00 as the US Dollar remains depressed amid hopes for Iran diplomacy and ahead of US midterm elections. Meanwhile, intervention risks support the Japanese Yen, though the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike caps gains. This keeps the pair confined within a familiar range and warrants caution before placing directional bets.


Gold struggles near $3,900 as traders assess Middle East developments,US election risks

Gold (XAU/USD) loses momentum on Tuesday as Oil prices rebound after the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported a US strike on Iran’s Qeshm Island. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $3,909, down 0.93% on the day.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP under pressure as investors pull capital

Bitcoin trades downward at $76,566 on Tuesday, testing six-week lows. Ethereum, like Bitcoin, trades under pressure as it consolidates within a narrow support range. Meanwhile, Ripple hovers marginally above $1.25.

US Dollar Index edges up within range with midterm elections front and centre

The US Dollar Index is picking up from session lows but remains within previous ranges, below 102.00. The Greenback is drawing support from hostilities in Iran and higher Oil prices, but US political uncertainty is capping gains.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions
The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
