An excerpt from FX-Strategy’s Pro Commentary

Price: 120.83
Resistance:120.95121.20121.40121.62Support:120.65120.48120.22119.98

Bias:We look for 120.65 (max 120.48) to support for a return towards 121.62 and later to 122.20-40
Daily Bullish:In the end the 121.62 peak held and we have seen a direct pullback. This should stall at 120.65 (max 120.48) and from there we look for a recovery that will break back above 121.20 to return to the 121.62 area where we should see a brief correction ahead of an eventual move to the 122.20-40 area. (This may well take until tomorrow.) However, this should cap for a larger pullback. Only above 122.67 would extend the upside towards the next larger daily target at 123.76.MT Bullish:The 120.48-65 area should support for a test of 122.20-40 and then we need wait for a correction before a final move into April that should stall in the 124.90-125.30 area. (February 26th)Daily Bearish:The drop back below 121.30-40 has generated additional losses but we feel these are close to completion. There is good support between 120.48-65 and we doubt this will break. Thus a more bearish stance will require a break below 120.48 and if see would provoke extension lower below 120.22 and 119.98 with an eventual tentative target around 119.48-64.MT Bearish:We have seen the recovery develop almost perfectly but should see a pullback from the 122.20-40 area that has potential back to the 120.40-60 area once again.

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

23rd February

We note a second potential Wave iii target at 121.85 and thus look for a peak between 121.62-85 and for Wave iv to pullback to the 50% retracement level around 120.76.

26th February

Wave iii ended at 121.62 and thus a 50% pullback in Wave iv rests at 120.65. Also bear in mind the 58.6% retracement at 120.48 though we doubt this will be seen. From this Wave iv low we will be able to generate a target for the end of Wave v and therefore Wave –a- of Wave –v-. The normal target is in the region of the old high (at 122.18) but may see a small overshoot towards 122.30-40 since the 61.8% projection does appear to suggest a target around 122.28-35.
