Elliott Wave view: GDX short‑term rally still developing [Video]

The short‑term Elliott Wave view in the Gold Miners ETF (GDX) shows that the cycle from the July 17 low remains in progress as a five‑wave impulsive rally. This structure is not yet complete, which implies further upside before a larger corrective phase develops. Wave 1 advanced to $77.99, followed by a pullback in wave 2 that ended at $72.17. From that level, wave 3 began and is unfolding with internal subdivisions that reveal another impulsive sequence of lesser degree. Within this advance, wave ((i)) ended at $76.03, while the corrective pullback in wave ((ii)) concluded at $72.92.

The current leg higher is wave ((iii)), which is expected to finish soon. Once complete, a pullback in wave ((iv)) should occur before another advance develops to complete wave ((v)) of 3. Afterward, the ETF should enter wave 4 and then wave 5, which will finalize the five‑wave rally from the July 17 low. At that point, a larger corrective phase is likely to emerge. Near term, the structure remains constructive as long as the pivot at $72.17 holds. Dips should continue to attract buyers, with corrective sequences unfolding in three, seven, or eleven swings before the next leg higher resumes.

AUD/USD has come under heightened downside pressure, briefly slipping back below the 0.6800 yardstick on Thursday. Indeed, the pair has revisited levels last seen in late January in response to the continuation of the bullish momentum favouring the Greenback, which remained propped up by rising bets over extra Fed tightening.

USD/JPY eases from near 160.00 amid looming intervention risks, BoJ hike bets

USD/JPY retreats slightly from an over two-month high as the recent surge back to the 160.00 psychological mark prompted verbal warnings from Japanese authorities and sparked fears of direct FX intervention. Moreover, data showed that Japan’s wholesale inflation picked up again in October, strengthening the case for a BoJ hike in December and lifting the Japanese Yen. However, a bullish US Dollar, bolstered by odds of a jumbo Fed rate hike in December, could cap the pair's downside.



Gold shifts the focus to $3,800 amid stronger US Dollar

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
