Weekly Waves: EUR/USD, Bitcoin And Gold

Our weekly Elliott Wave analysis reviews the EUR/USD, the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, and this time around, we add Gold (XAU/USD) instead of the US30 chart. 

The stock markets have been moving slowly whereas the Gold chart seems to be making an interesting retracement within a strong uptrend.

EUR/USD 

The EUR/USD is in a downtrend but price action is showing serious bullish signals:

1. The EUR/USD made 5 waves up (gray), which indicates a wave 1 or A of a larger ABC zigzag pattern (pink).
2. A bearish ABC retracement (gray) seems to be taking place within wave 2 or B (pink).
3. A break (green arrows) above the bearish channel could indicate the start of a wave 3 or C (pink) towards Fibonacci targets.
4. A break below the bottom, however, invalidates the expected bullish price swing and indicates a continuation of the downtrend towards 1.0750.

BTC/USD 

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) seems to be building a triangle chart pattern:

1. BTC/USD remains in the triangle pattern as long as price action respects the top and bottom.
2. The triangle looks more bullish due to the strong push-up in wave A (pink).
3. Price action could be completing an ABCDE (gray) within wave B (pink) now.
4. A break above the resistance (orange) lines could confirm the start of wave C (pink).
5. The main targets are the Fibonacci levels at 48k and 52k.
6. A break below the support (green) line could indicate a larger retracement. A wave C (C2 gray) could finish at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
7. A break below the bottom, however, would invalidate the ABC (pink) pattern.

Gold (XAU/USD)

XAU/USD has been in a strong rally ever since the retracement found support around $1750:

1. The strong bullish impulse seems to be wave 3 (gray).
2. The bearish retracement is probably a wave 4 (gray).
3. Wave 4 remains likely as long as the price respects the shallow 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci retracement levels.
4. A deeper retracement places the bullish analysis on hold.
5. Wave 4 usually is lengthy and choppy. A triangle pattern could emerge here.
6. The main bullish targets are $2150 and $2250.
