EUR/USD Decision Time with 2nd Attempt to Break 1.1250

Chris Svorcik Elite CurrenSea

The EUR/USD is again testing the support zone (blue lines) at 1.1250, which remains a major decision zone for a bullish breakout or bearish bounce. A bearish breakout could indicate a bearish wave 3 (red) whereas a bullish break confirms a bullish wave Y (purple).

4 hour

The EUR/USD needs to push above the resistance trend line (red) or below the support trend lines (blue) before a trend direction can be established and confirmed. Price is currently either in a wave C (blue) of a larger bearish ABC zigzag or price is starting a larger downtrend via waves 123 (red).

1 hour

The EUR/USD seems to be in a wave 4 (orange) unless price manages to break above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of wave 4 vs 3. In that case a larger bullish reversal could take place. A bearish bounce at the Fibs of wave 4 vs 3 could see price retest the support at 1.1250 again.

Gold is trading in an inconclusive fashion around the key $5,000 mark on Monday week.
