US DOLLAR TALKING POINTS:

US Dollar Price Action Setups: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/JPY - YouTube

The US Dollar has been unstoppable of late and today marks the currency hitting a fresh 19-year-high.

As looked at in the Q2 forecast, the US Dollar was already really strong coming into the quarter. There was a tease of this move in Q1 of 2021 as markets started to brace for higher rates, but that theme quieted in Q2 before coming back to life in Q3. And since coming back to life – it’s only continued to scale higher as stronger and stronger inflation is forcing the Fed further and further away from the easy money policies that have led us into this spot.

And despite that strength coming into Q2 the USD has only grown stronger, and April so far is showing the largest monthly gain in the Greenback since October of 2008.

US DOLLAR SHORTER-TERM

The move in the USD over the past week has been especially sharp and consistent with only a minimum of a pullback. Given the context, with prices just hitting a fresh 19 year high as a negative GDP report was released, and there could be a logical scope for pullbacks. But – given how bullish the backdrop is any pullbacks might be limited as there’s remained a number of buyers on the sidelines waiting to get long, illustrated by the fact that price action has only continued to broaden during this bullish jump.

There was prior resistance potential around 103.50 and 103 that can remain of interest for support/pullback potential.

EUR/USD

EUR/USD has been in full meltdown mode and this month is currently showing as the largest sell-off in the pair since January of 2015. And that prior instance is of interest as that was a major macro event – that was the month that the Swiss National Bank removed the peg from EUR/CHF, which allowed the Euro to go into free-fall for a bit.

The big item here was crossing the 1.0500 psychological level overnight. This marks fresh five year lows in the pair.

GBP/USD

Cable has similarly been in a hard sell mode over the past week. It was just last Thursday that the descending triangle was giving way to a bearish breakdown at the 1.3000 handle. Yesterday saw the pair push down to the 1.2500 level and overnight, even that was broken through.

In GBP/USD, April is currently showing as the worst month in the pair since Brexit. And, unlike EUR/USD above, there’s no nearby support that’s coming into soften this morning’s sell-off.

USD/JPY THROTTLES HIGHER

When I looked into USD earlier this week, USD/JPY looked like it might have some pullback potential. That has since turned out to be incorrect as the Yen got another major shot overnight, and this move in the Yen was even weaker than that of the Euro or British Pound as indicated by the gains in EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY that are showing as of now.

Previously the 130.00 level was looked at as important. This morning, that seems to be less so as price has forced a push above the 130 level and even touched 131.

Yesterday’s bullish engulfing candlestick in USD/JPY has extended up to another fresh 20-year-high.

AUD/USD DROPPING TO THE BIG FIG

On the front of reversals, the move in AUD/USD this month has been noteworthy. The pair was previously strong coming into April trade, setting a fresh nine-month-high in the opening days of the month. But following a strong reversal on April 5th, sellers have been in-charge and prices are making a fast run at the .7000 psychological level.

From the not-yet-completed monthly chart below, we can see AUD/USD working on a bearish engulfing candlestick that points to a potential break of the .7000 big fig.

    • CRM Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Daily Chart, Salesforce Inc., (CRM) Daily Chart CRM Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Minor 3 DIRECTION: Upside within 3. DETAILS: As the correction in Primary wave 4 could still no be completed, we are exploring the possibility of a running flat in 4 and consequently we could be in the early stages of a bull market. Salesforce Inc., (CRM) 1H Chart CRM Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave {i} of 3. DIRECTION: Top in wave {i} DETAILS: Looking for a top in wave {i} soon in place as we seem to have a nice subdivision. It’s possible we are actually in a wave C and we will continue the overall larger correction. This analysis focuses on the current trend structure of Salesforce Inc., (CRM), utilizing the Elliott Wave Theory on both the daily and 1-hour charts. Below is a breakdown of the stock's position and potential future movements. * CRM Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* On the daily chart, Salesforce (CRM) is in the third wave (Minor wave 3) of an impulsive structure. The potential for a Primary wave 4 correction to be ongoing is being explored. This suggests the possibility of a running flat correction forming in wave 4, and that CRM could be in the early stages of a new bull market. If this scenario plays out, the market could continue trending higher following this correction phase. * CRM Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 1H Chart* On the 1-hour chart, Salesforce is approaching a top in wave {i} of 3, with a clear subdivision visible in the wave structure. However, there is also the possibility that this movement is part of a wave C, meaning the larger corrective phase could still continue. The development of the current wave will confirm whether the correction is over or if more downside is expected before resuming the upward trend.

    • Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis Coffee breached the February 2022 previous high to continue the long-term bullish corrective cycle from May 2019. In the long term, the commodity could reach 317 which is about 28% of the current price level. Thus, buyers might consider buying the dips along this path. The long-term bullish corrective cycle started in May 2019. Aside from triangles, corrective structures are often subdivided into 3-waves. The first wave ended in February 2022 - cycle degree wave w. A pullback for the cycle degree wave x followed and ended in January 2023. From there, the cycle degree wave y began. The daily chart captures the wave development of the cycle degree wave y - subdivided into wave ((W))-((X))-((Y)). Wave ((W)) and ((X)) ended already and price is in ((Y)). ALong ((Y)), the price is currently in a pullback for ((b)) of Y of (W) of ((Y)). This summarizes that the upside is still favored for Coffee and prices should make fresh rallies from pullbacks of different degrees. The H4 chart shows that ((b)) is not yet complete. It’s probably in its 3rd sub-wave i.e. wave (c) of ((b)). While still developing, we are not sure yet how it’s going to end. However, it should finish above 221.2. If the price turns upside and breaches ((a)) high, then the expectation for further rallies from the dip increases significantly.
