SP 500: Pullback has started

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

We saw SP500 breaking to new ATH earlier this week, but we are wondering if maybe a new higher-degree pause will come in play now since we can count five waves up from April low. Also, we see that the fifth wave had an ending diagonal up into 5700, that spoted at the Fibonacci projection zone, so there can certainly be a new short-term retracement, as price breaks out of the wedge. This can cause a drop for a retracement back to 5590 in the near-term.

Also trading through summer can be very tricky, and both-sided, so definitely be aware of some slowdown, possibly even just temporary for another fourth wave retracement as shown on 4h count #2. So in either case, 5590 or possibly even 5507 can be important support that will be retested still.

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 makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

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. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
