Stop:-
As the greenback has slipped again in US morning in part due to the release of soft US NFP data, suggesting top has possibly been formed at 1.3456 earlier this week and downside risk has increased for weakness to 1.3310-20, however, break of 1.3277 support is needed to signal another leg of decline from 1.3535 top is underway for test of 1.3264, below there would add credence to this view and extend weakness to 1.3235-40 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3056-1.3535) and then 1.3200-10.
In view of this, would be prudent to exit long entered at 1.3375 and stand aside for now. Above 1.3430-35 would revive bullishness and bring retest of 1.3456 resistance, break there would add credence to our view that the correction from 1.3535 has ended and bring further gain to 1.3495-00 but break there is needed to signal upmove has resumed for retest of 1.3535, once this level is penetrated, this would extend recent recent upmove from 1.2969 to 1.3575-80 but previous chart resistance at 1.3599 should hold on first testing.
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.
