Data Dog (DDOG Stock): Still correcting lower?

The last time I took a look at Datadog was a few months ago back in Feb 2022.  At the time, I was looking for a bit more downside before resuming higher.  You can view this article here.  As a reminder, Datadog is an observability service for cloud-scale applications, providing monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.

I was favoring that the low set in Jan 2022 was set.  however, the market still was looking to keep correcting the cycle from May 2021.  Let's take a look at the chart from February.

DataDog Elliottwave view Feb 2022:

Instead of remaining above the previous low set in ((2)), the market violated that low with a momentum divergence.  This creates an incomplete bearish sequence pointing to lower prices.  Let's take a look at the adjusted view below

Datadog Elliottwave View April 2022:

Datadog

After bouncing from the blue box in January, Datadog had a sharp rally into (X).  After that, another 5 waves down took place.  On March 14/2022 a new low violated the previous low set in January 2022.  As mentioned above, this creates an incomplete bearish sequence.  It has momentum divergence, suggesting that more downside is still needed to erase the divergence.  After Red A of (Y) found a low, another sharp bounce took place, now peaked in Red B.  After that, the next leg lower is now favored to have commenced.  In order to confirm these prices do need to make a new low below previous Red A.

We can now look lower to the next equal leg area, for where another bounce can take place.  The next equal leg area is at 104.35. Prices need to remain above 69.79 in order for this nesting idea to remain intact.

USD/JPY is sitting at the top end of its weekly range above 158.00 in the Asian session on Thursday. Despite the softer US PCE data, oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields elevated near multi-year highs. Moreover, the US-Iran standoff benefits the safe-haven US Dollar and supports the pair. Broad US Dollar strength counters hawkish BoJ expectations and Japanese intervention risks.

Gold bulls seem hesitant as resilient US Dollar and yields cap upside

Gold attracts some dip-buyers near the $4,139 region during the Asian session, stalling the previous day's pullback from the $4,220 area, touched in reaction to softer-than-expected US inflation data. However, elevated US bond yields remain supportive of the prevailing strong bullish sentiment surrounding the US Dollar and should keep a lid on any meaningful appreciation for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Hyperliquid pares gains as ETF outflows cap tentative bullish recovery

Hyperliquid (HYPE) is down 2% at press time on Thursday, trimming its 5% gains from the previous day.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025, but a fresh inflation shock in the Eurozone could give the Euro an unexpected lifeline. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
