Although the single currency surged to as high as 125.82 yesterday, the subsequent retreat suggests consolidation below this level would be seen and initial downside risk is for weakness to previous resistance at 124.55, break there would bring retracement to 124.00-10, however, reckon downside would be limited to 123.60-65 and previous support at 123.32 should hold, bring another rise later.

In view of this, would not this rise here and would be prudent to stand aside in the meantime. Above 125.50-55 would bring retest of 125.82 but break there is needed to revive bullishness and extend recent upmove to 126.00-10, then 126.40-50, however, near term overbought condition should limit upside to 126.90-00, risk from there has increased for another retreat to take place.

Our latest preferred count is that wave (ii) is ABC-X-ABC which ended at 123.33 and wave (iii) is unfolding with wave iii ended at 100.77, followed by wave iv at 111.57 and wave v as well as the wave (iii) has ended at 97.04, followed by wave (iv) at 111.43 and wave (v) has ended at 94.12 which is also the end of the larger degree v, this also implied the major wave (C) has also ended there, hence major correction has commenced from there with (A) leg unfolding in its lower degree wave c which has possibly ended at 145.69. Under this count, A-B-C wave (B) has commenced with A leg ended at 136.23, wave B at 143.79 and wave C has possibly ended at 149.79.

Our larger degree count is that the decline from 139.26 is wave (C) and is sub-divided into a diagonal triangle i-ii-iii-iv-v with wave i – 105.44, wave ii- 123.33, wave iii – 97.03, wave iv – 111.43, followed by the final wave v as well as the end of wave (C) at 94.12, this also mark the bottom of larger degree wave B. Under this count, major rise in wave C has commenced as an impulsive wave with minor wave III ended at 145.69, wave V is still in progress for further gain to 150.00. Having said that, this so-called wave V could well be the first leg of larger degree 5-waver wave C and this wave C should bring at least a retest of wave A top at 169.97 (July 2008).
