Price: 1.0360

Bias: Look for the correction lower to reach 1.0270-00 before rallying back above 1.0403-10

Daily Bullish

Yesterday was pretty much a 'nothing' day but the underlying analysis stands in that I feel we need to see a slightly deeper correction before the upside can follow-through. This corection shoudl reach the 1.0270-00 area before rebounding higher. Also keep note of the 1.0403-10 resistance and only directly above here would send price more directly to the 1.0446 and more likely the 1.0477-92 resistance which should cause a further correction. Next resistance is found at 1.0535-72.


Medium Term Bullish

24th July: Additional gains are beginning to look more bullish. While the 1.0267-98 area supports there is continued risk for gains to extend above 1.0398 for 1.0477-92 and probably 1.0572. This should provide a brief pullback before gains to around the 1.0623 high.

Daily Bearish

Although we did see minor gains to 1.0403 and noting resistance also at 1.0410, I feel the first part of the day should be bearish with loss of 1.0350 and then 1.0333 maintaining the downward momentum for 1.0300 at least and 1.0270 at most. I suspect this support area will hold for a stronger reaction higher. Also note quite firm pivot support at 1.0250 and only below here would indicate stronger losses to 1.0207 and below.

Medium Term Bearish

24th July: Yesterday's gains do seem to argue more strongly for a bullish stance. Therefore to reverse this we shall need loss of 1.0267 initially - then 1.0204 and 1.0102-39.

Monthly cycles still appear to reflect long term losses. However, for now the weekly cycles have a window of strength through to year end although daily cycles suggest we may see sideways trending into the next low by around early September

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

24th July:

Yesterday's gains make it tough to retain a bearish stance. Indeed, I am going even further to suggest that yesterday's 1.0398 high was the peak in Wave (a) of Wave (iii) only.

This implies a 38.2%-50% retracement in Wave (b) around 1.0267-98 from where Wave (c) of Wave (iii) should move to the 138.2% projection in Wave (iii) at 1.0477-88 and quite probably even further to the 176.4% projection at 1.0572.

Overall this will mean that the 1.0010 low was a 61.8% retracement in Wave (x) and this implies gains well above 1.0623.

Only an earlier break below 1.0267 would undermine this structure and suggest that the 1.0398 high was merely a deep Wave efc of an alternative Wave (x) and therefore suggest a Wave (a) back to the 1.0010 low.
