The ECB continues to grapple with the idea of raising rates in 2022 despite previously anticipating the first hike in 2023. The February meeting of the Governing Council was perceived as rather hawkish by market participants as the door was left open for a potential hike in Q4 of 2022. Since then, the Euro outlook has ben muddied by the invasion of Ukraine and the potential impact it could have on the Eurozone for the remainder of the year.

EUR/USD Since the Release

Unsurprisingly, the hot inflation data did little to the currency pair and the shorter term downtrend continues. There was a slight move higher in anticipation of the data which appears to be nothing more than a pullback.

    • AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart, Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Orange wave 2 Position: Navy blue wave 1 Next Higher Degree Direction: Orange wave 3 Details: Orange wave 1 is completed, and now orange wave 2 is in progress and nearing its conclusion. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.63494 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis on the Day Chart indicates that a corrective counter trend is currently in motion. The main structure being observed is orange wave 2, which is actively unfolding. Before this, orange wave 1 was marked as complete, leading into the development of wave 2. The analysis suggests that orange wave 2 is approaching its end, which will pave the way for the next market movement phase: orange wave 3. The market’s current position is within navy blue wave 1, marking the early stages of the overall Elliott Wave pattern. As orange wave 2 nears completion, the next expected movement is the initiation of orange wave 3, which is aligned with the higher-degree trend. In this corrective phase, the market is undergoing a retracement or consolidation period before resuming the broader impulsive trend, represented by orange wave 3. The critical invalidation level for the wave structure is noted at 0.63494. If the market drops below this point, the current wave configuration would be invalidated. Overall, the chart points to the near completion of the corrective wave 2 phase and anticipates the start of wave 3, potentially continuing the upward trend in AUDUSD.   AUDUSD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4-Hour Chart, Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Orange wave 2 Position: Navy blue wave 1 Next Higher Degree Direction: Orange wave 3 Details: Orange wave 1 is completed, and now orange wave 2 is in play and nearing its end. Wave Cancel Invalidation Level: 0.63494 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart highlights a counter-trend move within a corrective mode. The current structure being tracked is orange wave 2, which follows the completion of orange wave 1. The wave position is now at navy blue wave 1, indicating that the market is in a corrective phase. The next higher-degree movement is anticipated to bring orange wave 3. After the completion of the current orange wave 2, the market is expected to move into a new impulsive upward phase as part of orange wave 3. The analysis shows that orange wave 1 has already finished, and orange wave 2 is now nearing completion. The key invalidation level to watch is set at 0.63494. If the market drops below this point, it would invalidate the current wave count and require a reassessment of the market's wave structure. Until then, it is expected that once orange wave 2 completes, the market will shift into an upward trend with the development of orange wave 3. In summary, the AUDUSD 4-hour chart shows the market in a corrective phase within a counter-trend, with orange wave 2 nearing its end. Afterward, orange wave 3 is expected to take control, leading to upward price movement. The invalidation level of 0.63494 is crucial for traders to monitor, as a break below this level would negate the current wave structure.

    • Polkadot ($DOT) had a turbulent week, with Polkadot Price dropping below a crucial support level on Friday, reaching $3.82 before climbing back above $4. The key question is: Can $DOT maintain its position? $DOT’s Battle with Support Levels Polkadot has struggled recently to hold its support levels. Earlier in August, $DOT lost its $5 price mark, falling to a multi-year low of $3.62. Although the coin briefly rebounded above $5, reaching $5.11 on August 24, it soon fell back to the $4 range, hitting a low of $3.82 on Friday. Rebounding Above $4: A Sign of Strength? Polkadot ended the previous week slightly above $4 at $4.07. As the new week began, $DOT rebounded, rising 3.44% to $4.21 on Monday, driven by demand at lower prices. However, sellers quickly regained control, and the price dropped to $4.07 on Tuesday. The downward pressure continued on Wednesday, pushing $DOT to $3.88. Strong demand helped $DOT recover and close at $4.11, but the trend didn’t hold, and $DOT fell to $4.02 on Thursday. On Friday, sellers pushed the price below $4 to $3.82. Although buyers managed to counter some of the pressure, $DOT closed at $3.96. Saturday's Recovery and Current Status Saturday saw a slight recovery, with $DOT closing at $4.07. As of now, $DOT is trading at $4.15 as per Coinpedia Markets data. What’s Next for $DOT? $DOT finds strong support at $4, a level tested twice during the week. Buyers have defended this support so far, but if $4 is breached, $DOT could fall to its multi-year low of $3.62. Currently, $DOT is consolidating above $4. If buyers can sustain the momentum, $DOT might push above its 20-day SMA and towards $4.50. However, given the recent volatility, $DOT’s future remains uncertain.
