Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) maintains its bullish cycle from the 2022 low. Bulls continue to seek further upside extension. In today’s article, we examine the current Elliott Wave structure unfolding. Our analysis highlights the potential for higher targets ahead.

TSM shows an impulsive advance from its 2022 low. Wave I peaked at $226, followed by a wave II pullback to $134. Currently, wave III remains in progress and enters its final stage. The internal cycle of this rally also shows a three-wave advance. Wave ((3)) ended at $479. Then, a pullback in wave ((4)) reached $372 in August 2026.

As long as this low holds, the stock should continue rallying in wave ((5)). It will target the $504 – $545 area. That zone will likely see some profit-taking. It could also mark the wave III peak. Following that, another pullback will occur within wave IV. Then, the rally will resume again.

Consequently, TSM’s weekly cycle remains supported to the upside. The bullish sequence suggests further extension. Buyers will keep seeking entries within daily pullbacks. These will form as 3, 7, or 11 swings within the main trend.

USD/JPY stays weak below 157.00 amid Japanese intervention risks

USD/JPY keeps losses below 157.00 in the Asian session on Wednesday, as hawkish BoJ expectations, along with intervention risks, underpin the Japanese Yen, countering dismal domestic factory output and retail sales data. Meanwhile, a broad US Dollar retreat also collaborates to the pair's downside.

Gold meets resistance just above $4,200

Gold now makes a U-turn and recedes toward the $4,150 region per troy ounce on Wednesday. Indeed, the precious metal fades the earlier move past the key $4,200 yardstick and retreats marginally as the US Dollar trims part of its daily losses amid mixed US Treasury yields.

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.
