Elliott wave analysis on EUR/USD; USD/JPY; GBP/USD; S&P 500; Gold; Copper and Crude Oil

EUR/USD - Made it to resistance at 134.00, The rejection here and the following decline to me confirms the bearish picture. I'm now looking for a break below 132.70 to confirm the next serious test of the support at 132.10.
Longer term I'm still looking for a much deeper decline through 131.40 for a move towards 128.63.

USD/JPY - The rally towards the red down-trendline resistance near 78.95 still looks very healthy. Longer term I look for a break above this trendline, which would confirm, that an important bottom is in place with the test of 75.55 and a rally back to 115.00 has begun.


GBP/USD - I have added GBP/USD (Cable) today as we are closing in on very important support near 153.45 and a break below here will trigger a thrust out of the big triangle, which has been building since January 2009.

The target for this thrust down will be near the 119 - 120 area.


S&P 500 - We have now tested resistance near 1,198.50. The big question is whether this was wave c of an expanded flat or this only was wave a and we have one more rally to go, when wave b comes to an end. I prefer the expanded flat count, which calls for renewed pressure to the downside from here. However a break above 1,198.50 will add more credence to the simple zig-zag count an call for a move higher towards the 1,215 area.


Gold - Seems to have ended its minor wave iv and is ready to challenge support near the 1,635 - 1,640 area. If this support breaks we can expect a much bigger decline.

Short term a break below 1,699 should be the first minor trigger for a move lower towards support.


Copper - I have added Copper too today. as the long term picture soon could turn very ugly. As can be seen on the chart above. we have been in a long term uptrend since 2001, which ended with the failure break above the upper channel resistance-line at 410 in late 2010.

My preferred count is that we have seen a major [A] - [B] - [C] correction, where wave [A] and [C] was equal in length and wave [B] an expanded flat. We can also see a possible S/H/S top building and a break below the neckline at 318 will trigger a big decline towards the 171 area.

If this scenario plays out Dr. Copper also spells big trouble for the economy ahead.


Crude Oil - The picture above for Copper also go hand in hand with my longer term view for Crude Oil, which is also clearly down.

Short term I think we saw wave ii end yesterday at 100.68, that also ended the right hand shoulder of a minor S/H/S top calling for a decline to the 86 area, but longer term we should see a break below important support near 77.85, which will trigger an even bigger S/H/S top. (see my post from yesterday here: http://theelliottwavesufer.blogspot.com/2011/11/elliott-wave-analysis-on-eurusd-usdjpy_28.html).

However for now look for the red Pitchfork to define the decline.

  2. Hello Swami,

    If we break above 100.73 we will most likely see a continuation higher towards the 101.65 - 102 area, before a renewed pressure to the downside.

    A break below 97.24 will confirm that the top is in and we should see the next decline towards 95 and lower.

    Kind regards
    EWS
