Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Short Term View in Dow Futures suggest cycle from 5/5/2022 high is unfolding as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Down from 5/5, wave A ended at 31148 and wave B rally ended at 32695. Internal subdivision of wave B unfolded as a zigzag structure in lesser degree. Up from wave A, wave ((a)) ended at 32201, and pullback in wave ((b)) ended at 31778. Final leg higher wave ((c)) ended at 32695 which completed wave B. Index has turned lower in wave C. Potential target for wave C is 100% – 161.8% Fibonacci extension of wave A at 27950 – 29750 area.

Wave C subdivides as a 5 waves impulsive structure. Down from wave B, wave (i) ended at 32238 and rally in wave (ii) ended at 32651. Index then resumes lower and expected to complete wave (iii) soon. Then it should rally in wave (iv) and turn lower 1 more time to end wave (v) and complete wave ((i)). Afterwards, Index should rally in wave ((ii)) to correct cycle from 5/17/2022 high before the decline resumes. Near term, as far as 5/17/2022 pivot at 32695 remains intact, expect rally to fail in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further downside.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
