Updates and comments
Background:
Since March 2015 low, the actual wave counts has been difficult as we had very overlapping swings in both directions. In the processed the strong rally from Dec 2016 low started with initial trust that do not show clear 5 minor wave and the pull back was confusing before it commenced a very strong rally define in narrow up trending channel, which many feel is an impulsive wave ie one exhibiting 5 internal waves. Rather to me it appears to be just a “wxy” zigzag .
Overall, the entire range since March 2015 low, looks like an expanded flat which might have been more clearer if we had 3-3-5 structure, but I think we have larger “WXY” with Wave Y completing the recent high, likely termination of Wave 4 in circle on my chart..
If the above is true then:
We have possible (W), (X), (Y) decline from July 2008 high with the (Y) being developed in “ABC” 5-3-5 structure and that we are commencing wave 5 in circle, which should also unfold in 5 minor waves.
Summary of some of the technical:
Some Technical Observations for potential end of rally of Wave 4 in circle :
1. Still in Bearish Channel since July 2008
2. Time Cycles which often show up in H to H, H to L, L to L or L to H pivots and in this case measuring 130 weekly bars, ie from Oct 2008 low to April 2011 high is 130 bars and from March 2015 low to recent high also measures 130 bars. Similar time cycle of 93 bars from July 2012 equates to 93 bars from Nov 2015 low to recent high. These 93 and 130 bar cycles have been noted in EURUSD number of times previously hence it has some significance specially when they coincide with other technical.
3. A time symmetry of 39 Bars rally from March 2009 low and present rally from Dec 2016 low to current high synchronising around mid Sept with the time cycle give additional confluence.
4. From both the 2 and 3 above we have time window for possible high to form.
5. Previous support zones in 2010 and 2012, now could act as potential resistance.
6. Potentially false break about declining 200 MA would suggest weakness and continuation of bearish trend .
7. RSI in overbought region and forming potential hidden bearish divergence with lower high in price (from April 2014 compared with recent high) and higher low in RSI .
8. The Wave 4 in circle from March 2015 likely to be expanded flat.
9. Downside target for wave 5 in circle could be retest of 2015 low or make new lower low probably around parity.
Recent COT data suggest relative extreme in large speculators net long EUR Futures to that seen back in April 2011 high (see chart below). Likewise It is possible that DXY might commence equivalent its wave 5 rally.
Conclusion: We can plan bearish trades using our favourite method of entry, exit and trade management for shorting EURUSD. If this 5 wave decline develops then:
1. We might have a major reversal offering longer term bearish trade in EURUSD.
2. A minimum expectation would be a retracement back towards 1.12 -1.11 zone.
3. Initial decline appears to be unfolding in minor 5 waves and upon completion of this a retracement zigzag could offer best risk to reward short entry.
