• The U.S Dollar index fell further by breaking below the 95.00 support level.
• Further downside of the dollar to be seen as the world is battling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
• The European Union has agreed on a €750bn recovery fund which sees the EUR soaring above 1.16 against the dollar.
• Gold has overcome all obstacles by trading above US1,900 before Friday’s market close.
• With dollar weakening, safe haven asset such as Gold will continue to maintain its bullish outlook.

The main highlight the past week was the rollout of the Eurozone’s and United States’ aggressive fiscal policy to strengthen their weakening economy. The Eurozone has pledged a total amount of €750bn to rescue smaller economies within the Eurozone, while in the U.S, the White House and Congress has set aside partisan bickering to work together to bring another round of stimulus package.

The hope of a stimulus package brought relief to the U.S market, but economic uncertainty and a low interest rate environment continue to pressure the U.S dollar downwards as there have been outflows of the USD to the emerging markets as well as China (Fig 1).

The uncertainty also resulted in a rise in Gold prices to a historical high which has invalidated the corrective nature of the Monthly wave theory mentioned on 20^th July, indicating a gloomy outlook ahead.

The dollar index has completed almost 80% of the double three corrective waves and is set to test 90.00 in the long run. Current wave analysis also suggest that the last leg of the sub-c wave has begun and is on the way to the 90.00 support region after prices broke below the 95.00 psychological support level. 

Previous wave count of “ABC” which was highlighted on 20^th July has been marked as a 5-wave impulse wave as the 95.00 psychological level has been broken. As such we are looking at a continuation of the 3^rd impulse wave. Short-term target is at 92.93 and 91.05, which are the 161.8% and 200.0% expansion target of wave 1-2 respectively.

Bearish death cross of the 200-day and 50-day moving average has further confirmed the strong bearish outlook ahead but we expect a pullback back to the support-turned-resistance zone after prices has reached its target at 161.8% expansion level.

Gold’s bullish sentiment is more or less cemented as price had traded way past the 85.4% retracement threshold of A. Should August see prices trading above the high of B at US$1,921.50, which happens to be the highest in the past 10 years, then Gold’s bullish sentiment will carry on.

Mid-term target of Gold reaching the high as US$2,000 is not too far-fetched after it broke the major resistance level of US$1,921.50. Long-term target of US$2127.58 at 123.6% extension of A will indicate a strong possibility of an expanded or running flat corrective pattern.

*Should Gold reject the US$1,921.15 resistance level, then the next level to be watched is US$1,794.00. Breaking this level will see Gold resuming the sub 5-wave of C.

The daily chart of Gold has indicated the invalidation of the extension level of 200.0% of the previous range but the formation of a daily hanging man signifies a correction which will see prices correct further towards US$1,850.00. Should price correct further, the next rebound will be at the support zone of US$1,762.31-US$1,779.31.
