Breaking out now in its wave 5...

Profit target to take 100% off at 89.80....

However, US stocks may well be topping and due for a serious pullback. That would bring Euro right back down again..

Cross market, the moves yesterday seems to point to an even lower DXY before it turns... this seem to bolster the case for a stronger Euro in the coming days...

.

This move is now complete... DXY heads higher in a final move next week, pressuring none USD pairs, then it falls out of bed for a while....

That fall out of bed will help EURUSD make it to its peak the first half of 2013 (if not the whole year) near 1.3800....

And then it falls like a rock.....

Stop moved to BE at 88.90 trades 89.10 after being as low as 88.87.... and as high s 89.44..... How sucky is that?

The pull back was too deep after putting in a fresh high in a wave 5.... I must limit the risk to BE and try for another entry if stopped out... I'm not willing on a Friday afternoon to go in the red on it...

I'm on the sidelines of EURUSD at the moment... This is my thinking...

I have a GPBUSD long working that will take some patience, but it is lagging EURUSD and should eventually head higher...

I'm looking to get long EURUSD, but I'm watching price action closely, and looking for a three wave correction to complete before entering...

Watching this channel bottom for a impulsive looking bounce...

At this point its hard to say if we are at the first three interior waves of a larger three wave correction...

It would be healthy for price to sell off all the way to 3080/50 zone... The only way to tell is to wait for price to tell us by bouncing aggressively from the channel bottom... Only then would I enter... for we may not be done yet... but this is a place to keep a keen eye open..

Edit: sell off to 3280/50

At this point its hard to say if we are at the first three interior waves of a larger three wave correction...

What I mean by this is illustrated in the attached chart... Just because we can see three waves down at very small degree, we can't be sure that is the entire correction... Its shallow... and may not be all there is to come....

We have to be aware of the bigger picture in the attached chart, and wait for price action to tell us if the correction in in fact over, or only on its way...

Breaking out of the channel to the upside in an aggressive way would be impulsive.... everything inside the channel is likely still corrective action of a larger unfolding down move correcting toward 3250...

Blazing Rally in EURCHF as the artificial floor unwinds drives USDCHF through the roof... and drags EURUSD somewhat higher.... the normally near perfect inverse correlation between USDCHF and EURUSD breaks down....

Scratch any notions that EURUSD future moves might be revealed by USDCHF levels... not today at least

Possible count... but looking weak....

I'm flat if 1.3335 breaks by more than a few pips.... Will look lower to 3310, even better would be 3380/60 zone talked about here:

EDIT: 3280/50 Zone
