Support:106.57106.15105.75105.40

Hourly chart with indicators

Bias:While 106.57 continues to hold the emphasis should remain higher to 107.45

Daily Bullish:Price did rally but stalled at 107.07. It doesn’t cause great problems for the upward preference but we need price to remain above this morning’s 106.57 low. A break then above 107.07 would extend the upside to 107.45 which should cap for a pullback. Next resistance is at 108.77-88.
MT Bullish:Recent trading has been messy but has remained above the 104.95 low as suggested and thus I remain cautiously bullish for 107.88, 108.60-96 and 109.74 at the very least. (4th February)
Daily Bearish:Price gains stalled lower than expected but the support between 106.50-75 has yet to break. Indeed, before getting too bearish we shall need this break to confirm losses which would then imply a drift down to 106.10-20. Below there extends the downside back to 105.75 and possibly 105.40. I still feel the 104.75 low should remain intact. 
MT Bearish:We are seeing the expected correction from the 104.95 target and this should last for a while. Selling opportunities should be considered around 109.80-110.11. Below 104.95 sees losses to 103.44. (25th January)

 

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

Elliott Wave Chart

5th February

This is as slow as any rally could get… Given this slowness it is likely we are in a multiple ABC pattern in which the 105.75 low was Wave x.

From there I think we saw Wave a of Wave iii of a new Wave –a- that should make its way back to the 107.88 area. This morning’s low at 106.57 was a 50% retracement in Wave b and thus we should see Wave c of Wave iii rise to the 138.2% projection at 107.45. From there look for a Wave iv correction and final rally in Wave v to the area of the first high at 107.88. Then a Wave –b- should develop…

Any earlier break below 106.57 could suggest a recycling lower in Wave x to 105.40-70 again.
