The ETF reached at 559.02 in our target area and reacted down. This completed the wave ((5)) of the impulse from 2018 and also wave III. The drop made 5 waves down bouncing at 433.28 forming a clear impulse structure as we called wave ((A)). Then SOXX rally made a corrective structure in 3 swings ending at 507.88 as wave ((B)). Currently we are developing the last wave ((C)) that could reach a minimum 381.82. This wave should build 5 waves down to structure a correct zig zag Elliott Wave pattern from the peak. Wave (1) and (2) are already done and we need 3 swings more down to complete wave ((C)) of IV and then continue with the rally.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board.
