Although the single currency has continued edging higher after staging a rebound from 127.56 last week and near term upside risk remains for gain to 129.60-70, reckon upside would be limited to 130.00 and only a break of indicated resistance at 130.40 would revive bullishness and signal the fall from 131.40 has ended, then headway to 130.90-00 would follow.

On the downside, whilst pullback to 128.90-00 cannot be ruled out, reckon 128.50-55 would hold and bring another rebound. Below 128.30-35 support would suggest the rebound from 127.56 has ended, bring weakness to 128.10-15, however, break of support at 127.84 is needed to confirm and bring retest of this level, break there would signal the fall from 131.40 top has resumed for retracement of early upmove to 127.00, then towards 126.50-60. As near term outlook is mixed, would be prudent to stand aside for now.

Our latest preferred count is that wave (ii) is ABC-X-ABC which ended at 123.33 and wave (iii) is unfolding with wave iii ended at 100.77, followed by wave iv at 111.57 and wave v as well as the wave (iii) has ended at 97.04, followed by wave (iv) at 111.43 and wave (v) has ended at 94.12 which is also the end of the larger degree v, this also implied the major wave (C) has also ended there, hence major correction has commenced from there with (A) leg unfolding in its lower degree wave c which has possibly ended at 145.69. Under this count, A-B-C wave (B) has commenced with A leg ended at 136.23, wave B at 143.79 and wave C has possibly ended at 149.79.

Our larger degree count is that the decline from 139.26 is wave (C) and is sub-divided into a diagonal triangle i-ii-iii-iv-v with wave i – 105.44, wave ii- 123.33, wave iii – 97.03, wave iv – 111.43, followed by the final wave v as well as the end of wave (C) at 94.12, this also mark the bottom of larger degree wave B. Under this count, major rise in wave C has commenced as an impulsive wave with minor wave III ended at 145.69, wave V is still in progress for further gain to 150.00. Having said that, this so-called wave V could well be the first leg of larger degree 5-waver wave C and this wave C should bring at least a retest of wave A top at 169.97 (July 2008).
