EUR/USD Weekly Forecast

EUR/USD was bounded in sideway trading pattern that started at 1.3443 as consolidations continued last week. Such consolidation might continue initially this week and another rise cannot be ruled out. But upside is still expected to be limited by 1.3852 resistance and bring fall resumption. Break of 1.3435 support will confirm fall resumption and should target 161.8% projection of 1.5143 to 1.4217 from 1.4578 at 1.3076 next.

In the bigger picture, outlook remains unchanged. The three wave rise from 1.2329 is treated as consolidation to fall from 1.6039 only and should have completed at 1.5143 already. Fall from 1.5143 is tentatively treated as resumption of the whole down trend form 1.6039 and should target a new low below 1.2329. Break of 1.4217 support turned resistance is needed to invalidate this bearish view. Otherwise, we'd expect fall 1.5143 to continue even in case of strong rebound.

In the long term picture, long term up trend from 2000 low of 0.8223 has made an important top at 1.6039 in 2008. Subsequent price actions are so far viewed as a correction only, in form of three waves. First wave has completed at 1.2329 while secondly should have completed at 1.5143. Fall from 1.5143, as the third wave of correction, is in progress and should extend to 1.1639 support, and possibly further to 100% projection of 1.6039 to 1.2329 from 1.5143. Nevertheless, we'd expect strong support from 61.8% retracement of 0.8223 to 1.6039 at 1.1209 to conclude the correction and bring another long term up trend.
