USDCAD bulls proved how stubborn they could be by lifting the pair to a one-year high, despite the numerous bearish interventions along the way. During the last month, USDCAD has been slowly progressing in a choppy and overlapping manner as U.S. – Canada relations took a turn for the worse following the G7 summit. The…
Four Days Ahead of Bitcoin’s “Red Sunday”
Bitcoin is plunging yet again. Following a small recovery from $7027 to $7791 in the first week of the month, BTCUSD just breached the support of $7200 and still seems to be in a downward spiral from its December 2017 high of $19 666. But let’s ignore the bubble-or-not-a-bubble talk for a moment and concentrate…
Dollar Index, Hold Your Horses (Bulls)
Three months ago, while the dollar index was trading below the 90.00 mark following another selloff, we published an Elliott Wave analysis suggesting the bulls were ready to stop the bleeding and lift the index to the resistance area of 95.00. The chart below was what led us to conclude a bullish reversal was on…
Foot Locker Resurrected by Elliott Wave
Less than two months ago, on April 1st, we published an article about Foot Locker. While the stock was hovering around $45.50, its hourly price chart revealed an Elliott Wave pattern, which encouraged us to believe the worst was over for this sporting goods retailer. Take a look at it below to refresh your memory.…
Crude Oil and USDJPY Ruled by One Pattern
Everything was going so well for USDJPY and crude oil bulls until last week, when both the exchange rate and the WTI crude price made sharp bearish reversals. Oil fell from as high as $72.88 to $67.40 a barrel, while USDJPY plunged from 111.40 to 108.95. Normally, the media tried to explain the selloffs with…
USDMXN Precisely Followed Its Elliott Wave Path
It has been almost four months since we last wrote about USDMXN. On January 30th, the pair was hovering around 18.70, following a sharp selloff from 19.90 to 18.30. The good news was that instead of wondering what the Dollar-Mexican Peso exchange rate was going to do next, we managed to recognize a very reliable Elliott…
CAC 40 Reaches Highest Level Since 2007
The French CAC 40 benchmark index climbed to 5629 yesterday. The last time it traded above 5600 was in late-December 2007 and while the price is still far from its 6192 all-time high, the current rally is no less significant, especially if we consider that just three months ago the bears dragged the CAC 40…
Buckle Stock Gains 40% in Two Months
Two months ago, on March 15th, we published an Elliott Wave analysis of The Buckle stock (NYSE:BKE), saying that “the stage is set for a surge.” At the time of writing, the stock was barely holding above the $18 mark after a decline of nearly 30%. But instead of joining the bears, we thought that…
Bitcoin: UpBit Fraud Scandal Just a Catalyst
After the price of Bitcoin rose twenty-fold in 2017, the majority of crypto investors were expecting even bigger gains in 2018 as the digital currency was finally entering the mainstream. Alas, so far that is not the case as BTCUSD plunged by roughly 70% in just a month and a half. But instead of going…
EURUSD: The Evolution of an Elliott Wave Count
Less than three months ago, on February 16th, the EURUSD pair climbed to a three-year high of 1.2556. Given the fact that Euro bulls have been in control during the entire 2017, it made sense to expect more strength from the European currency against the U.S. dollar. In addition, after four months of negotiations, in…
Gold Prices Under Pressure Amid Easing Tensions
North Korea’s Kim Jong-un appears to have finally come to his senses. The isolated communist country announced it will discontinue its nuclear tests and close down its test site. The North Korean leader will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in June to discuss the Asian country’s complete denuclearization. And while peace in Syria is…
Trade War Fears Shrugged Off by USDJPY
Less than a month ago, USDJPY was trading below 105.00 after plunging to 104.64. The media hurried to explain the dollar’s weakness against the Japanese yen with the looming trade war between the United States and China. Today, a trade war between the two largest economies is a near certainty, after China threatened to fight…
USDCAD Selloff: Non-Farm Payrolls Just an Excuse
The last time we wrote about USDCAD, it was hovering around 1.29, after a decline from 1.3125. In a video, published on March 28th, we demonstrated how Elliott Wave traders got ahead of the bearish reversal that occurred a week earlier. Two weeks later now, the bulls are yet to find a way to fight…
WPP Stock Bulls Ready to Fight Back
On July 10, 2017, WPP stock was trading above $101 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, down from its all-time high of $123.33 reached in May, 2015. Despite being down 17.9% already, the Elliott Wave Principle suggested the stock is likely to “lose 30% from current levels”, so we wrote an article to…
WTI Crude Oil Knocking on a Major High’s Door
Between January 25th and February 9th, WTI crude oil’s price plunged from $66.62 to $58.06 a barrel, losing 12.8% in just 12 trading days. What the bears did in just over two weeks, the bulls needed a month and a half to recover from. Finally, oil prices climbed to $66.52 earlier today, following last week’s…
