 Price:                             1.0410

Resistance:1.04171.04351.04561.0486
Support:1.03751.03361.03071.0280

Hourly chart with indicators

Bias:Slightly mixed but beginning to feel we could see a move down to 1.0216-48

Daily Bullish:The 1.0320 level broke but we then saw a recovery from the 1.0307 low. This appears to break the structure I was considering yesterday and there has been no obvious reversal signal from momentum. Therefore wait for a test of 1.0216-48 (probably closer to the low end) and if this is accompanied by a bullish divergence then it should be a good buying level. Only an earlier break above 1.0417-35 would attack the 1.0456 corrective high and trigger follow-through to 1.0486 (take care) and 1.0564-1.0618.
MT Bullish:As price keeps declining we may get an opportunity to buy for a correction around 1.0216. At the most the 1.0618 (max 1.0671) area should cap & breach will be needed to generate stronger gains.  (4th March)
Daily Bearish:With a marginal new low at 1.0307 I feel that on balance the downside may well still be at risk. We really need the 1.0417-35 area to cap and for a break below 1.0375 to generate a test of 1.0332-40 which could cause a small reaction. A subsequent decline below yesterday’s 1.0307 low would spark additional losses to 1.0280 and probably the 1.0216-48 area where I expect a base to develop. Only below 1.0198 sees 1.0110-23.  
MT Bearish:The 0.9993-1.0110 targets remain although we should see a pullback before seeing the expected test. This correction should remain below 1.0575-1.0676. Below 1.0200 sees a direct test of the LT targets.  (3rd March)

 

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

Elliott Wave Chart

4th March

Keep in mind the potential targets for Wave (v) (starting from 1.1594) are at 1.0110 (61.8%), 0.9993 (66.7%) and 0.9760 (76.4%.)

The 223.6% projection in Wave –iii- at 1.0320 was only marginally broken but given the momentum picture still looks bearish it is beginning to look like we’ll see another dip to the 261.8% projection in Wave –iii- at 1.0216.

This should then generate a correction in Wave –iv- that should move as high as 1.0572-1.0633.

Only an earlier pullback (with 1.0307 as the end of Wave –iii-) would imply resistance at 1.0618-1.0671.
