 Price:                             1.0866

Resistance:1.08971.09161.09381.0955
Support:1.08341.08051.07851.0765

Hourly chart with indicators

Bias:While 1.0876-97 caps there is still risk of losses to 1.0805-13 before the anticipated stronger rally

Daily Bullish:Losses did develop down into the 1.0813-54 area and we therefore need to be aware that a direct resumption of the upside is possible. I tend to feel that we need just one more low which should reach the 1.0805-13 area and if seen this should provide a good buying opportunity. Only an earlier break above 1.0897 and the 1.0916 corrective high would imply a direct recovery that should then proceed towards 1.0955-70 and probably make its way all the way to the 1.1042 area.
MT Bullish:The correction from 1.1106 has been a lot more erratic than expected and may even get back to 1.0811-54. However, I remain overall bullish and will look for a return to 1.1106-20 and later higher. (22nd February)
Daily Bearish:The downside did prove the weaker side on Friday and fell between the two potential support areas at 1.0813 and 1.0854. However, until the 1.0897-1.0916 area is broken we should be aware of the risk of a final dip to the 1.0805-13 area which I suspect will hold. Thus any stronger bearish stance will require a breach of the 1.0800 level and if seen then look for losses to 1.0785 and probably 1.0760-65 which could stall the decline before a test of the 1.0728 low.
MT Bearish:The recovery from 1.0728 appears positive and while Friday’s pullback was deep it still holds within a bullish structure. Thus only below 1.0854 & 1.0817 triggers stronger losses back towards 1.0728 again. (19th February)

 

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

Elliott Wave Chart

22nd February

This Wave (b) has been pretty choppy and the actual internal count is very clouded. However, I suspect that we should be seeing a 5-wave decline from yesterday’s 1.1032 high.

We still need to be careful as there is a bullish divergence developing in the 4-hour chart though the hourly still looks bearish.

If yesterday’s 1.0865 low was a Wave iii then the maximum I’d expect in Wave iv would be at 1.0938. Thus the next decline should be Wave v and we can then watch the 66.7% retracement in Wave (b) at 1.0854 and then the 76.4% at 1.0811-17.

This should spark a recovery in Wave (c).
