Daily Forex Outlook: EUR/USD

The chart shows the movement started from 1.4718 (18 December). I think it is corrective in nature and is in the position of wave B or wave 2 of one higher degree. In both cases I will expect a new high above 1.4718 later. Currently the big question is how deep will turn out to be the current correction. If it is wave 2 it could be enough but if we deal with wave B, the euro should fall further at least to 1.3370 (61.8 % retracement of the rise started from 1.2549 (4 December)). With an eye on the current uncertainty I exited today my previous short position opened a week ago and my intention is to seek an entry level for a strategic long position in coming days. From a short term point of view one could expect some recovery after today's sell-off but I don't expect at this stage a rise above 1.3805 (61.8 % retracement). Only a sharp rise above today's high in the next 24 hours will be a bullish signal. However my experience tells me that currently the most likely scenario is some recovery followed by another low below today's till the end of the week.
