Price charts and technical analysis

The EUR/USD seems to have completed 5 waves (grey) of wave 5 waves (pink). This price swing is probably a wave A (purple) of a larger ABC (purple) zigzag correction. The ABC could fit within a wave B (red) of a larger ABC (red) pattern:

1. If price action is going to move lower in wave B (purple), then it will likely create an ABC (pink) pattern downwards.
2. Usually speaking, wave A (pink) of zigzag finishes at the 38.2% Fib and 144 ema close.
3. A 3 wave bounce (green arrows) from the support could confirm wave B (pink).
4. A bearish reaction (orange arrow) at the resistance zone could confirm wave C (pink).
5. The main target of the wave C is the 61.8% Fibonacci level. This is where wave B (purple) could end and wave C (purple) could start (blue arrow).
6. A break below the bottom invalidates this wave outlook. A break above the top places it on hold and could indicate an uptrend or a different type of correction in wave B (purple) – for instance not a zigzag but an ABC flat.

On the 1 hour chart, price action has broken below the support trend lines (dotted green) and the 144 ema, which is indicating a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend:

1. The bearish bounce at the 50% Fibonacci level seems to complete a bullish ABC (orange) pattern in wave 4 (grey).
2. A lower low could confirm the wave 5 (grey) in wave A (pink) at the Wizz 5 and -27.2% Fib target.
3. A bullish bounce (green arrows) could indicate the wave B (pink).
4. A break above the resistance trend line (orange) and the 144 ema could indicate that the wave 4 and 5 (grey) of A (pink) has already been completed. Price could move up to the Fibonacci levels.
5. Only a deep push-up invalidates this temporary bearish wave analysis.
