Currency pair EUR/USD

The EUR/USD continued to move lower as it approaches the support trend line (blue) yet again. The bearish bounce is indicating that the recent bullish momentum is probably a wave B (red), which is part of a larger ABC (red) correction.

The EUR/USD did not confirm the bullish break yesterday and in fact invalidated the bullish wave 4. A bearish 5 wave pattern seems to be unfolding within wave C (red).

Currency pair GBP/USD

The GBP/USD is challenging a deep 88.6% resistance Fibonacci retracement level of wave 2 vs 1 (red). A break above the 100% Fib level invalidates that wave 2 (red). Price could either be in an ABC (purple) correction or in a wave 123.

The GBP/USD is retested an important resistance trend line (red) but failed to break above it. This could have completed wave 5 (green) if price manages to break below the 61.8% Fib of wave 4 vs 3.

Currency pair USD/JPY

The USD/JPY showed a strong bullish reaction at the 61.8% Fibonacci target of wave C vs A (brown), which could indicate a change of trend direction. A break above resistance (brown) would confirm that. A break below support (blue) could price challenge the bottom.

The USD/JPY is showing strong bullish momentum, which makes a wave 4 (green) unlikely but price needs to break above 109.87 to invalidate it. The alternative is a 123 (blue) bullish wave count.

Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains neutral at this point. Overall, outlook remains bullish as long as 1.1822 support holds. Above 1.2091 will extend larger rise fro 1.0339 and target next key fibonacci level at 1.2516. But considering bearish divergence condition in 4 hour MACD, break of 1.1822 will confirm short term topping and bring deeper fall back to 1.1661 support and below.

In the bigger picture, rise from medium term bottom at 1.0339 is still in progress for 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. However, it should be noted that there is no confirmation of trend reversal yet. That is, such rebound from 1.0399 could be a correction. And the long term fall fro 1.6039 (2008 high) could resume. Hence, we'd be cautious on strong resistance from 1.2516 to limit upside. But after all, break of 1.1661 is needed to indicate medium term topping. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish in case of pull back.

A temporary top is in place at 1.3223 in GBP/USD and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Further rally is expected as long as 1.3032 support holds. Above 1.3223 will target 1.3267 first. Break will resume whole rise from 1.1946 and target 1.3444 key resistance next. But again, price actions from 1.1946 are still seen as a corrective pattern. Hence, we'd expect strong resistance from 1.3444 to limit upside to bring larger down trend reversal eventually. On the downside, break of 1.3032 will indicate near term reversal and turn bias back to the downside for 1.2773 support instead.

In the bigger picture, overall, price actions from 1.1946 medium term low are seen as a corrective pattern. While further rise cannot be ruled out, larger outlook remains bearish as long as 1.3444 key resistance holds. Down trend from 1.7190 (2014 high) is expected to resume later after the correction completes. And break of 1.2773 support will be the first sign that such down trend is resuming.

Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral for consolidation above 0.9420 temporary low. But after all, near term outlook remains bearish as long as 0.9679 resistance holds. Deeper fall is still expected. Sustained break of 0.9420 will target 61.8% projection of 1.0099 to 0.9437 from 0.9772 at 0.9363 first. Break will target 100% projection at 0.9110 next.

In the bigger picture, current development suggests that 0.9443 key support (2016 low) could be taken out firmly as down trend form 1.0342 extends. There are various interpretation of the price actions. But in any case, medium term outlook will stay bearish as long as 0.9772 resistance holds. Current down trend could extend to 38.2% retracement of 0.7065 (2011 low) to 1.0342 (2016 high) at 0.9090. However, break of 0.9772 will indicate that USD/CHF has successfully defended 0.9443 again and turn outlook bullish for 1.0099 resistance.

USD/JPY's rebound fro 107.31 extends today. But still it's staying well below 110.66 near term resistance. Outlook remains bearish with intraday bias staying neutral first. Below 107.31 will extend the whole fall from 118.65 to 61.8% retracement of 98.97 to 118.65 at 106.48 first. We'd look for support from there to bring rebound. But firm break of 106.48 will extend the decline to 100% projection of 118.65 to 108.12 from 114.49 at 103.96 or below.

USD/JPY's rebound fro 107.31 extends today. But still it's staying well below 110.66 near term resistance. Outlook remains bearish with intraday bias staying neutral first. Below 107.31 will extend the whole fall from 118.65 to 61.8% retracement of 98.97 to 118.65 at 106.48 first. We'd look for support from there to bring rebound. But firm break of 106.48 will extend the decline to 100% projection of 118.65 to 108.12 from 114.49 at 103.96 or below.

In the bigger picture, rise from 98.97 (2016 low) is now seen as the second leg of the corrective pattern from 125.85 (2015 high). It's unclear whether this this second leg has completed at 118.65 or not. But medium term outlook will be mildly bearish as long as 114.49 resistance holds. And, there is prospect of breaking 98.97 ahead. Meanwhile, break of 114.49 will bring retest of 125.85 high. But even in that case, we don't expect a break there on first attempt.

USD/CAD is staying consolidation above 1.2061 temporary low. Intraday bias remains neutral first. At this point, we'd remain cautious on strong support from 1.2048 long term fibonacci level to bring sustainable rebound. But still, break of 1.2439 support turned resistance is needed to be the first sign of trend reversal. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish. Firm break of 1.2048 will pave the way to next fibonacci level at 1.1424.

In the bigger picture, current downside acceleration is raising the chance that whole long term rise from 0.9406 (2011 low), and that from 0.9056 (2007 low) is completed at 1.4689. Focus is now on 50% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.4869 at 1.2048. As long as this level holds, we'd still favor that case that fall from 1.4689 is a correction. However, firm break of 1.2048 will indicate that fall fro 1.4689 is at least a medium term down trend and should target 61.8% retracement at 1.1424 and below.

Intraday bias in AUD/USD remains neutral for consolidation below 0.8124 temporary top. Overall, as long as 0.7807 support holds, near term outlook remains bullish for further rally. Above 0.8124 will target 100% projection of 0.6826 to 0.7833 from 0.7328 at 0.8335 next. However, firm break of 0.7807 will indicate near term reversal and turn bias back to the downside for 0.7328 key support.

In the bigger picture, rise from 0.6826 medium term bottom is still in progress. At this point, there is no confirmation of trend reversal yet and we'll continue to treat such rebound as a corrective pattern. But in any case, break of 55 month EMA (now at 0.8090) will target 38.2% retracement of 1.1079 to 0.6826 at 0.8451. Break of 0.7807 support is needed to to be the first sign of completion of the rebound. Otherwise, further rise is now in favor.

With 1.5042 minor resistance intact, deeper decline is expected in EUR/AUD to 1.4732 support. Decisive break there confirm that fall from 1.5173 is the third leg of consolidation pattern from 1.5226. In that case, further fall should be seen to 1.4421 again. But we'd expect strong support from there to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, above 1.5042 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 1.5173/5226 resistance zone instead.

In the bigger picture, we're holding on to the view that corrective decline from 1.6587 medium term has completed at 1.3624. Rise from 1.3624 is expected to extend to retest 1.6587. The corrective structure of the price actions from 1.5226 is affirming this view. Above 1.5226 will target a test on 1.6587 key resistance. However, break of 1.4421 support will dampen our view and would drag EUR/AUD lower to retest key support zone around 1.3624.

EUR/GBP's fall from 0.9305 short term top is still in progress. Intraday bias remains on the downside for 55 day EMA (now at 0.9022). Sustained trading below there will likely start the third leg of the consolidation from 0.9304 and target 38.2% retracement of 0.8312 to 0.9305 at 0.8926 first. On the upside, above 0.9202 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 0.9305 resistance instead.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 0.9304 are viewed as a medium term corrective pattern. It's uncertain whether it is finished yet. But in case of another fall, we'd expect strong support from 0.8116 cluster support (50% retracement of 0.6935 to 0.9304 at 0.8120) to contain downside and bring rebound. Whole up trend from 0.6935 is expected to resume after consolidation from 0.9304 completes. Firm break of 0.9799 high will target 61.8% projection of 0.5680 to 0.9799 from 0.6935 at 1.1054.

Outlook in EUR/CHF remains unchanged. Consolidation from 1.1537 is still in progress and intraday bias remains neutral. More sideway trading could be seen. On the upside, break of 1.1537 resistance will confirm resumption of larger rally from 1.0629. In that case, EUR/CHF should target 1.2 key resistance level next. On the downside, firm break of 38.2% retracement of 1.0830 to 1.1537 at 1.1267 will extend the correction to 61.8% retracement at 1.1100 before completion.

In the bigger picture, long term rise from SNB spike low back in 2015 is still in progress. EUR/CHF should now be heading back to prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000. For now, this will be the favored case as long as 1.1087 resistance turned support holds.
