Recommended Posts

USD INDEX- We expressed some caution yesterday with the USD index close to the 161.8% extension level of 90.25 (from 88.26-89.49). As long as we fail to breach and hold below the trend line support at 89.65, the medium-term bias remains bullish. However, we have to be prepared for the possibility of substantial USD correction lower today.

With Canadian unemployment figures today, we could see a deeper correction.

 

Here is the technical picture:

 

Monthly: Inside the Ichimoku cloud. This normally results in the lower timeframes having mixed and volatile trading.

 

Weekly:  The medium-term outlook remains bullish with the pair trading inside the Ending Wedge formation. DeMark posted an exhaustion 13 count at the low.

 

Intraday - We have rallied to the wedge target of 1.2585. Commodity currencies have a tendency to stretch to the 423.6% extension of the first wave before a reversal is seen (correction). This is located at 1.2598 (from 1.2250-1.2332). We are holding in this zone. Bespoke support is seen at 1.2470

 

Forming and Ending Wedge with bearish divergence, chart makes a higher high while the oscillator makes a lower high. On a break of 1.2570, the measured move target is 1.2492

    • His mention of C3.ai, with its focus on predictive maintenance and smart meter management, highlights how AI isn't just improving operational efficiency but also creating new growth opportunities. Anderson also points to Microsoft’s AI-enhanced cloud services as another example of AI setting the stage for future business models. For investors, it’s less about immediate profitability and more about the long-term potential of AI.
    • XRP supporters have noticed a significant shift in the cryptocurrency's price following the SEC’s recent legal actions. As the situation unfolds, understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. SEC’s Appeal: A Shock to the Market On Thursday, the U.S. SEC announced its intention to appeal favorable rulings from the Ripple lawsuit that concluded a few months ago. By Friday, this intention became official as the SEC submitted applications to the U.S. appellate court. This news sent shockwaves through the XRP market, leading many investors to sell off their tokens, which caused the price to drop sharply. XRP’s Recent Price Movements Price Drop After the SEC Announcement On October 2, just before the SEC’s appeal news broke, XRP reached an intraday high of $0.6058. However, by October 3, the price plummeted to $0.5101, marking a 15.79% decrease. Interestingly, despite the SEC's appeal being registered on October 4, XRP showed signs of recovery.  As of writing this article XRP Price was trading at 0.54 With 1.375 increase in last 24 hours as per Coinpedia markets data For a more detailed analysis of XRP's potential price trajectory, be sure to check out our comprehensive XRP price prediction article. Comparing the 2020 Lawsuit Impact In December 2020, the situation was markedly different. When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP's price dropped dramatically. On December 20, XRP was valued at $0.5678, but by December 23, following the lawsuit announcement, it had plummeted to $0.2214, a staggering 61% decline. The situation worsened as more exchanges began delisting XRP. By December 29, the price had fallen to $0.1748, nearly 70% lower than its pre-lawsuit price. Resilience and Future Predictions Despite the recent turmoil, XRP’s ability to recover has sparked optimism among its supporters. Some market analysts, including Bobby A, believe that the current legal developments may present a “sell trap.” He predicts XRP could reach $4.23 soon, emphasizing that macro charts remain bullish. Furthermore, there are suggestions that XRP could potentially rise to $6 in the near future. After hitting a low of $0.17 during the 2020 lawsuit, XRP surged by 1,021% to $1.96 by April 2021. If a similar rally occurs from the recent low of $0.5101, it could see prices climbing as high as $5.72, with the possibility of reaching $6 by January. As the SEC's legal actions continue to unfold, XRP's resilience offers hope for future price rallies. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about market developments.
