Euro Crosses are Mostly Bearish

[DailyFx]

The Euro crosses have rolled over and appear headed lower for at least the next few weeks.









5 waves up from the January 2007 low at .6535 and daily RSI rolling over from above 70 suggest that a large corrective decline is underway from .8187. The Fibonacci zone does not begin until .7556.




5 waves up from 1.5326 suggests that the longer term trend has turned up. The decline from 1.6376 stopped just shy of the 61.8% of 1.5326-1.6376 and last Tuesday’s candle was a hammer (bullish reversal candle pattern). These are signs of a reversal.




The big picture shows a range playing out as possibly a triangle since 2000. Under this scenario, the pair should be headed lower in wave D of the triangle towards 1.40 over the next number of months. Near term, EURCAD strength was turned back ahead of the 9/1 high of 1.5656. Price ideally remains below 1.5481 now.




It is possible to count 5 waves up from 1.6047 and a corrective decline is likely underway now. The EURAUD has come into the Fibonacci support zone, which extends to 1.6862. This is very close to the former 4th wave, and a likely area for the decline from 1.8277 to end in the next few weeks.




The EURNZD is vulnerable weakness over the next few months to complete wave E of a triangle that began in 1992. The decline could be significant and retrace as much as half (or more) of the advance from 1.6326.
