USD UPDATE: EUR/USD (Daily)

VIEW RETAINED: KL DEFINED DOWNSIDE TO SA1**

|

Level: 1.0875

The illustrated view of KL downside to SA1**, followed by gains to R3, remains valid. This should be part of the larger R3/SA1** consolidation phase.

  • The PQ defined gains seems corrective, supporting the interim view of downside off the R0/R1* resistance area to SA1** . This move will likely complete the KL formation.
  • Important SA1** support is expected to hold during KL defined downside, followed by meaningful gains back to R2 and R3.
  • The negation level for the expected bear phase is at R1*. This will pivot the market to larger bullish potential to R2

Target and re-assessment levels

Important levels SA1** and R1*
Primary trend Gains off SA1** to R2 and R3
Monthly Range K/L
Prevailing trend Downside off R1* to SA1**
Technical rating Medium

VIEW RETAINED: KL GAINS PART OF LARGER P*/Q FORMATION

|

Level: 104.48

General view: The illustrated WXY downside that started at point 0 remains valid and should be followed by final downside to S4.

Medium term:  The PQ flag formation is forming phase X of the WXY downside. Overlapping price action within PQ, as well as the current KL channel supports the general view.

  • The current Z range seems like a flag continuation pattern, as part of the larger upside to K and P to complete X.
  • A break below S0* will activate the downside.

Note: Many interim alternatives remain possible and the view is of medium to low conviction.

Target and re-assessment levels

Important Levels P* and S0*
Primary trend Downside off K/P* to S4
Monthly Range K/L*
Prevailing trend Final gains to R1 and K
Technical rating Medium to low

VIEW RETAINED: SHORT TERM DETAIL

|

Level: 104.48

The general view of gains to R2*, followed by a bear trend to T1, is retained.

  • Overlapping upside from the bottom at S3 supports the view that it is a correction in a larger bear trend (see daily analysis).
  • The current ZX consolidation is also corrective and potentially phase D of the ABCDE interim bull phase to R2*. A break of Z will activate the upside potential.
  • Below S1* will neutralize phase E upside and pivot the market to a more interim bearish bias. R2* is the bullish level that needs to hold.
  • downside.

 

Target and re-assessment levels

The intention of this analysis is to give the reader a visual picture of the most probable price path that could develop over time. This is enhanced by adding crucial levels where the proposed view becomes dubious and needs to be re-assessed (or confirmed). The benefit of this approach is that of an easy to understand and almost instantaneous grasp of the analysts view. This kind of analysis is not intended to be exact in predicting levels, and especially timing of moves, but to give a more general probability view that is easily understandable and unambiguous. The proposed “roadmap” gets adjusted over time as new price information becomes available. All technical views have re-assessment or negation levels where the proposed preference is no longer valid or needs to be re-assessed.
