Key Quotes
"Prospects of having already completed the first bear market impulse in EUR/USD close to key-support between 1.3477 (2014 low) and 1.3454/09 (weekly/monthly trend) are not too bad, which implies that a broader 2nd or B-wave rally to 1.3877 (minor 76.4 %) could be looming as long as 1.3409 is not taken out. For such a rebound to unfold and in order to confirm the wave 1 or wave A low a 1.3503 it however takes a break above 1.3668/76 (200 DMA/pivot)."
"The 1.3877 handle would then offer a perfect risk-reward to establish strategic EUR short positions. A decisive break above the latter would re-open extended recovery potential to the big T-junction at 1.4259 (76.4 % on higher scale) though, whereas a break and weekly close below 1.3409 would call for a straight extension towards former lows at 1.3295 (Nov. 13) and at 1.3104 (Sept. 13)."
