Good morning friends,

from a EW perspective it is very hard to judge.....


Gatekeeper for more upside is 2146, for more downside 2085.

Break of 2146 will likely produce 2207, break of 2085 will likely produce 1963

Good luck today

No for real, top solid post mate. A pleasure to read a real full analysis in the euro without the typical FF constrains.

In any case, EZ numbers keep coming negative. Euro too unidirectional to be tradable intraday. Is either panic move down or nothing which makes things a mess.

Despite the pair being so one-sided, the last 3 weeks it has become the noisiest across the board as the moves are 97% chop and one go move in few minutes to make a new low.... Whatever the case, same outlook for the euro, strongly agree with your top/bottom "bands". I would only add 1.223x from Thursday as key angular point for the M roll...

best is to wait for beats to form once LDN gets going

2131 2111 091 2071 look OK to trade from

it has been quite messy the past few sessions

Good morning friends,

from a EW perspective it is very hard to judge, if the last wave down is finished @ 2083 or if we have to see more downside to complete this wave.

With that beeing said, keep in mind, the greater scheme is down, since we have to work off some wave 4/wave 5's.

But when the latest wave 5 is finished, the next (or ongoing) wave 4 can reach not only the last wave 4 @ around 2329, it also can reach the wave 4 of one lesser degree @ around 2695

That is the risk.

The chance is, that the impulsive move down is not over...

Hi Sisse,

hope all is well......

Yes, definitively, 223x is a very important level.


From a sentiment perspective, this would be the right place to go long, since we only have 7% EURUSD bulls left.

But the negative news keep on coming, so maybe we have a bit more room to go south.

Over the last days we have produced so far many overlapping waves, which makes the determination of waves not easy and lets us standing wondering :-))

Would like to see a 196x touch, because in this area we have the EW base channel coming down. But over the last months we had more often situations, where Mr. Market did not care about crucial levels and turned before it reached it.


Making a bigger move to the north right now would leave a lot of shorts with pants down.......

master G, does this seem valid to u? makes sense with weekly cams. 2050, if we get there, should be a bump on other charts.

thanks.

Me too sub 1.20xx (got the same 1.196x as next weekly support) will definitively be better TA wise.

The main problem is that Europe between summer Holidays and Olympics is not on board. Thin markets and lack of interest is paying its toll the last few weeks in the European sessions.

The retraces has been very poor this month (only 1 valid h4 in the entire month) and we have at least 3 major (and 2 other v important) breaks above without been tested.

In simple words nobody wants or will jump in long without at least some kind of a reason. No with Europe on Holiday and Euro FA 100% one sided (we haven't seen that ever, not even in the prev debt crisis and Lehman moves) meanwhile euro just trading air until we find support.

Again today NY and ES in full control, Euro only collateral for the rest of the day. Today is a bit different intraday from yesterday as ES is back to the Support but longs are naked below 1336.xx (watch-out there for a momentum move down in the euro)
