Euro Crosses Mixed

[DailyFx]

After months of nearly uninterrupted strength, the EURGBP is probably in the middle of a multi-month corrective pattern. One such pattern is a triangle (the lines are drawn on the chart). A new high is expected in a 5th wave (within the 5 wave advance from .6535), but not before the large wave 4 correction is complete. With the EURGBP likely stuck in a corrective pattern for the next few months, range trading is the way to go.


The drop from 1.6827 may be a series of 1st and 2nd waves or a completed A-B-C correction. In either case, the EURCHF will probably rally near term. If the drop is a series of 1st and 2nd waves, then price likely reverses near the 61.8% of 1.6727-1.5823 at 1.6382 (also former congestion).


The EURCAD looks nearly identical to the USDCAD. The rally from 1.3285 to 1.5198 could have completed a 3 wave advance (A-B-C in red). If this is the case, then the EURCAD will drop to a new low (below 1.3285). It is also possible that the rally from 1.3285 to 1.5029 is wave 1 or A in a larger rally and that an expanded flat is unfolding (lower case a-b-c in black). If this is the case, then the EURCAD will come under 1.4162 and possibly test the 61.8% of 1.3285-1.5029 at 1.3952 before the next bullish leg. Either way, price is expected to come under 1.3952.


The advance from 1.5491 to 1.7159 is a clear 5 wave advance. A 3 wave (A-B-C) corrective decline will likely resolve itself in the next few weeks. Wave iv of C could reach 1.6300/20 before wave v registers the C wave low, perhaps close to the 161.8% extension of A; at 1.5846. It is near this level that longs should be established, against 1.5491. The rally that ensues should exceed 1.7159 and may be the beginning of a much more significant multi-year rally.


Much like the EURAUD is forming a significant low, so too is the EURNZD. The 1.7029-2.0170 rally was an impulse that is either wave A or 1 in a bull cycle. Since then, a complex correction (W-X-Y) known as a triple three has formed. This corrective decline is nearing completion. Wave Y would equal wave W at 1.7907. Another possible terminus for the entire decline is at the 78.6% of 1.7029-2.0170 at 1.7698.
