Although the greenback has retreated from 1.2735, as long as 1.2625-30 holds, risk of one more corrective rise rise cannot be ruled out, above said resistance would extend the rebound from 1.2414 (wave iii trough) for retracement of early decline in wave iv to 1.2771 (previous resistance as well as 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of wave iii) where renewed selling interest should emerge and bring retreat later, below 1.2625-30 would bring test of 1.2540-50, break there would suggest the rebound from 1.2414 has ended instead, bring further fall to 1.2490-00 but reckon support at 1.2451 would hold on first testing. We are keeping our count that wave v as well as wave (C) ended at 1.3794 and impulsive wave (i ii, i ii) is now unfolding with minor wave iii possibly ended at 1.2414, hence wave iv correction is underway.
In view of this, would be prudent to stand aside for now and look to sell on further subsequent rebound as 1.2771 resistance should limit upside. Above 1.2800-10 would defer and risk a stronger correction to 1.2850, however, still reckon upside would be limited to 1.2880-85 (50% Fibonacci retracement of wave iii) and bring retreat later next week.
To recap, wave B from 1.3066 is unfolding as an a-b-c and is sub-divided as a: 1.2192, b: 1.2716 and wave c is a 5-waver with i: 1.1983, ii: 1.2506, extended wave iii with minor iii at 1.0206, wave iv ended at 1.0781 and wave v as well as wave iii has ended at 0.9931, hence the subsequent choppy trading is the wave iv which is unfolding as (a)-(b)-(c) with (a) leg of iv ended at 1.0854, followed by (b) leg at 1.0108 and (c) leg as well as the wave iv ended at 1.0674. The wave v is sub-divided by minor wave (i): 0.9980, (ii): 1.0374, (iii): 0.9446, (iv): 0.9913 and (v) as well as v has possibly ended at 0.9407, therefore, consolidation with upside bias is seen for major correction, indicated target at 1.3700 and 1.4000 had been met and further gain to 1.4700 would be seen later.
