Current selloff adds credence to our bearish view that recent decline is still in progress and downside bias remains for this wave v of larger degree wave iii to extend weakness to 1.2125-30, then 1.2100, however, near term oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 1.2075-80 (61.8% projection of 1.3547-1.2414 measuring from 1.2778) and price should stay above psychological support at 1.2000, bring rebound later. We are keeping our count that wave v as well as wave (C) ended at 1.3794 and impulsive wave (i ii, i ii) is now unfolding with minor wave iii ended at 1.2414, followed by wave iv correction ended at 1.2778, wave v has reached our initial downside target at 1.2200 and may extend to 1.2100.
In view o this, would not chase this fall here and would be prudent to sell on recovery as 1.2290-00 should limit upside. Above 1.2335-40 would defer and risk a stronger rebound to 1.2390-00 but only break of resistance at 1.2429 would signal low is formed, bring retracement of recent decline to 1.2490-00.
To recap, wave B from 1.3066 is unfolding as an a-b-c and is sub-divided as a: 1.2192, b: 1.2716 and wave c is a 5-waver with i: 1.1983, ii: 1.2506, extended wave iii with minor iii at 1.0206, wave iv ended at 1.0781 and wave v as well as wave iii has ended at 0.9931, hence the subsequent choppy trading is the wave iv which is unfolding as (a)-(b)-(c) with (a) leg of iv ended at 1.0854, followed by (b) leg at 1.0108 and (c) leg as well as the wave iv ended at 1.0674. The wave v is sub-divided by minor wave (i): 0.9980, (ii): 1.0374, (iii): 0.9446, (iv): 0.9913 and (v) as well as v has possibly ended at 0.9407, therefore, consolidation with upside bias is seen for major correction, indicated target at 1.3700 and 1.4000 had been met and further gain to 1.4700 would be seen later.
