EUR USD, “Euro vs US Dollar”
Eurodollar has completed the descending wave and right now is forming a new ascending impulse. We think, today the price may form another consolidation range inside the descending channel.

Franc is consolidating. We think, today the price may break this range upwards and reach the main target of the wave at 0.9944.
