BITCOIN, BTC/USD, CHINA, OIL, COPPER, IRON ORE - TALKING POINTS

  • Bitcoin prices fall alongside US stocks despite rosy US economic data
  • Copper and iron ore prices may rise further after PBOC comments
  • BTC/USD falls for second day, prices eye the psychological 20,000 level

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) market value passes $1 trillion with single unit value  rising above $54k | Shacknews
TUESDAY’S ASIA-PACIFIC OUTLOOK
A risk-off tone sent US markets lower overnight, a move that is likely to extend into today’s Asia-Pacific trading session. The Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) fell 0.81% in New York trading. The drop in technology stocks followed encouraging data out of the United States that showed the demand for goods across manufacturers remains strong.

Bitcoin prices fell too likely as a result of the broader pullback in market sentiment. In an interview, SEC Chair Gary Gensler labeled Bitcoin as a commodity. That would suggest that Bitcoin may better fall under the regulatory scrutiny of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Mr. Gensler made a clear distinction that he does not consider other cryptocurrencies to be a commodity, however.

Asian markets traded mostly higher on Monday, brushing off a report out of China that showed a drop in profits for industrial firms. The drop for May, however, was less severe than the prior month, crossing the wires at -6.5% compared to -8.5% in April. Increased profits from higher energy costs likely aided firms that produce gasoline and other energy-derived products.


Copper and iron ore prices moved higher despite Monday’s Chinese economic data. That is likely due to comments from the People’s Bank of China’s Governor Yi Gang. Mr. Gang stated, in a television interview, that “Monetary policy will continue to be accommodative to support economic recovery in an aggregate sense.” That statement appeared to encourage some bidding across the industrial metals space.

Elsewhere, oil prices moved higher across the WTI and Brent crude benchmarks. The G7 leaders, currently meeting in German, are said to be on the verge of announcing a plan to cap the price of Russian oil while still allowing it to be sold to major buyers like China and India. That plan would aim to hit Russia’s oil coffers while still lowering the price of oil on the global market. Details are expected as soon as tonight.

NOTABLE EVENTS FOR JUNE 28:
Japan – 2-Year JGB Auction
South Korea – Consumer Confidence (June)
Japan – Retail Sales (May)
 

BTC/USD TECHNICAL FORECAST
Bitcoin prices fell for a second session, but losses were moderate compared to the selling seen earlier this month. The 20,000 psychological level remains a key level of potential support should prices continue to fall. A rebound may see the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) step in as resistance. The MACD oscillator flashed a bullish signal earlier this week, crossing above its signal line.

Looking for 100$ to be the next TradingLevels to be reached. NEE Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 1H Chart, NextEra Energy Inc.,(NEE) 1H Chart  NEE Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend  MODE: Impulsive  STRUCTURE: Motive  POSITION: Wave (iv) of {iii}-  DIRECTION: Upside in wave {iii}.   DETAILS: Looking for a potential wave (iv) to be in the making or near completion as it is finding support on top of equality of (iii) vs. (i). Looking for overall resumption after we trade above 85$. In this Elliott Wave analysis of NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE), we will explore the stock’s current price action to offer insights into potential trading opportunities. We will break down both the daily and 1-hour charts to give a clear view of the stock's position within the Elliott Wave structure. *NEE Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart*  The daily chart shows that NextEra Energy is in the midst of an impulsive trend, currently progressing through Wave 5 of (1). The stock is expected to move higher within this fifth wave, signaling the completion of an impulsive structure in Wave (1).  A post-triangle thrust is evident, suggesting that Wave 5 is unfolding after a triangle in Wave 4, which often leads to a sharp move higher. The next major target on the upside is the key psychological level at $100, which also aligns with TradingLevel 100 (TL100). Traders should monitor price action as it approaches this level for potential profit-taking or signs of resistance.  *NEE Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 1H Chart*  On the 1-hour chart, NextEra Energy is currently in Wave (iv) of {iii}, which appears to be either in its final stages or nearing completion. The stock is finding support around the equality level of Wave (iii) vs. (i), a typical retracement level for Wave (iv). Once this correction concludes, we expect an upward continuation into Wave (v) of {iii}, signaling further bullish momentum.  A key confirmation level to watch is $85. Once the stock trades above this level, it would suggest that the corrective phase has ended and the next impulsive move higher is underway, targeting further gains in Wave {iii}.

    • Euro Stoxx 50 Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Day Chart, Euro Stoxx 50 Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray Wave 2 Position: Orange Wave 3 Direction Next Higher Degrees: Gray Wave 3 Details: Gray wave 1 appears to have completed. Now gray wave 2 of orange wave 3 is underway. Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 4495 The Elliott Wave analysis for the Euro Stoxx 50 on the daily chart indicates that the index is currently in a counter-trend phase, signaling a temporary move against the prevailing market direction. The mode is corrective, meaning the market is undergoing a pullback or consolidation within the larger trend. The focus of the analysis is on gray wave 2, a correction in the context of the broader wave structure. Gray wave 1 is deemed complete, and now gray wave 2 of orange wave 3 is active. This means the market is currently correcting within the broader impulsive structure. Once this corrective phase, represented by gray wave 2, is finished, the expectation is for the index to resume its upward movement in orange wave 3, which is part of the larger impulsive sequence. The next higher degree of direction points toward gray wave 3, indicating that once this correction (gray wave 2) ends, the market is expected to move higher in line with the larger trend. This suggests that after gray wave 2 concludes, orange wave 3 will drive the market upwards again. The invalidation level for this Elliott Wave count is 4495. As long as the index stays above this level, the current wave count holds, and further upward movement within the larger trend is anticipated. In summary: The Euro Stoxx 50 is in a corrective phase (gray wave 2) within a larger upward trend. Once the correction finishes, the market is expected to continue rising in orange wave 3. The analysis stays valid as long as the index remains above the 4495 level.   Euro Stoxx 50 Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge Weekly Chart, Euro Stoxx 50 Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange Wave 3 Position: Navy Blue Wave 3 Direction Next Lower Degrees: Orange Wave 4 Details: Orange wave 2 is considered complete. Now orange wave 3 of 3 is active. Wave Cancel Invalid Level: 4495 The weekly Elliott Wave analysis for the Euro Stoxx 50 suggests that the index is in a bullish trend, indicating upward market movement. The current mode is impulsive, reflecting a strong wave structure in alignment with the broader trend. The key structure under analysis is orange wave 3, a significant wave in the upward impulsive pattern. According to this analysis, orange wave 2 is complete, and now the market is progressing through orange wave 3 of 3. This marks a strong upward phase, with wave 3 typically being one of the most extended and powerful waves according to Elliott Wave theory. The market's current position is identified as navy blue wave 3, further confirming the ongoing impulsive movement upward. The next lower degree suggests that after the current wave 3 finishes, orange wave 4 (a corrective wave) may follow. However, the immediate focus remains on wave 3, which continues driving the market higher. The wave invalidation level is set at 4495. As long as the index remains above this level, the current Elliott Wave count is valid, and the bullish structure is expected to continue. In summary: The Euro Stoxx 50 is currently in an impulsive bullish phase, with orange wave 3 leading the market higher. Orange wave 2 has completed, and orange wave 3 is in motion, suggesting further upside potential. This analysis holds as long as the index remains above the 4495 level. After wave 3 concludes, a corrective phase (orange wave 4) could follow. Technical Analyst : Malik Awais Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial!
    • Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) - Day Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Bullish Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Orange wave 3 Position: Navy blue wave 1 Direction (Next Higher Degrees): Orange wave 3 (in progress) Invalidation Level: 0.66209 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart shows that the pair is in a bullish trend. The market is in an impulsive mode, indicating strong movement in the direction of the overall trend. The key structure being analyzed is orange wave 3, which has already started. Currently, the price is within navy blue wave 1, a smaller wave inside the broader structure of orange wave 3. Details: The analysis suggests that orange wave 2 is likely completed, and orange wave 3 is now active. This means that the corrective phase has ended, and the market is resuming its upward movement. The impulsive wave is expected to push the pair higher in line with the broader bullish trend. As long as the pair stays above the invalidation level of 0.66209, the current Elliott Wave count remains valid, signaling further upward movement. Summary: Trend: Bullish Current Structure: Orange wave 3 (in progress) Completed Phase: Orange wave 2 Expected Movement: Continued upward Invalidation Level: 0.66209 If the price remains above the invalidation level, the bullish scenario stays intact, and the market is likely to continue its upward movement within the impulsive wave structure.   Australian Dollar/U.S. Dollar (AUDUSD) - 4 Hour Chart AUDUSD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Gray wave 2 Position: Orange wave 3 Direction (Next Higher Degrees): Gray wave 3 Invalidation Level: 0.66209 The AUDUSD Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart shows the market is in a counter-trend phase, moving against the larger trend. This corrective mode indicates that the current movement is a temporary retracement within the broader trend. The structure being analyzed is gray wave 2, which follows the completion of gray wave 1. This means that the initial impulsive move of gray wave 1 has concluded, and the market is now in gray wave 2, a corrective phase. During this phase, the price may consolidate or retrace before the next impulsive wave begins. Details: The next expected movement is gray wave 3, which will resume the broader trend once gray wave 2 completes. Currently, the market is positioned within orange wave 3, part of the gray wave 2 corrective structure. This suggests that after the completion of gray wave 1, orange wave 3 is playing out as a sub-wave within the larger corrective wave. The invalidation level is set at 0.66209. If the price drops below this level, the current Elliott Wave count will be invalidated, requiring a reassessment of the wave pattern. Summary: Trend: Counter-trend (Corrective) Current Structure: Gray wave 2 (in progress) Completed Phase: Gray wave 1 Expected Movement: Gray wave 3 (after gray wave 2 completes) Invalidation Level: 0.66209 If the price stays above the invalidation level, the corrective structure will remain valid, with gray wave 3 expected to resume the broader trend once gray wave 2 completes.
