As the single currency recovered after holding above support at 0.8746, suggesting consolidation above this level would be seen and corrective bounce to 0.8870 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon upside would be limited to 0.8899 and 0.8930-35 should hold, bring another decline later, below said support at 0.8746 would extend recent decline from 0.9307 top to extend weakness to 0.8690-95 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 0.8312-0.9307), having said that, loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 0.8670-75 (50% projection of 0.9226-0.8774 measuring form 0.8899) and bring rebound later.
In view of this, whilst we are looking to sell euro on recovery, we are inclined to turn long on subsequent decline as 0.8670-75 should limit downside. Below 0.8640-50 would risk weakness to 0.8600-10 but sharp fall below there should not be repeated and risk remains for another rebound to take place soon.
Our preferred count is that, after forming a major top at 0.9805 (wave V), (A)-(B)-(C) correction is unfolding with (A) leg ended at 0.8400 (A: 0.8637, B: 0.9491 and 5-waver C ended at 0.8400. Wave (B) has ended at 0.9413 and impulsive wave (C) has either ended at 0.8067 or may extend one more fall to 0.8000 before prospect of another rally. Current breach of indicated resistance at 0.9043 confirms our view that the (C) leg has ended and bring stronger rebound towards 0.9150/54, then towards 0.9240/50.
