Key Quotes
"The EUR downtrend is incomplete, but could be missing another corrective leg up to 1.2959 Given the shown wave count in the EUR/USD chart below, the main question currently is, whether the long-term downtrend towards 1.2418 (Fib.-projection) and 1.2217 (weekly trend) has already been resumed or whether we are missing another corrective leg up (c-wave) to the projected and internal wave 4 target at 1.2959 (int. 38.2 %)."
"That said we keep watching key-Fib.-support at 1.2592 (minor 76.4 %) very closely as the latter looks to be the key-support to answer this question. Above, 1.2959 remains in focus whereas a decisive hourly close below (i.e. below 1.2570) would confirm the resumption of the long-term downtrend. Only a decisive hourly close above 1.2959 (i.e. above 1.2980) would on the other hand start weakening the prevailing down-bias in favor of a stronger recovery to 1.3246 (int. 50 %)."
