Although the single currency has rebounded again after brief pullback and test of recent high of 130.77 cannot be ruled out, break there is needed to confirm recent upmove has resumed and bring further gain to 131.00-10, above there would encourage for headway to 131.50, however, loss of upward momentum should prevent sharp move beyond latter level and reckon 132.00 would hold from here, risk from there is seen for a retreat later.

In view of this, would not chase this move here and would be prudent to stand aside for now. Below 129.95-00 would bring another test of 129.54 support but break there is needed to prolong consolidation below 130.77, bring another corrective fall to 129.20, then 128.90-00, however, reckon downside would be limited and 128.49-57 support should hold, bring another rise later.

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).
