The EURO an example to follow!

Juan Maldonado Elliott Wave Street

The EUR/USD is trading at 1.1100 at this time, last week when China announced the new tariffs, the EURO jumped from 1.1052 to 1.1164 in a matter of hours. A cycle that can be the beginning of a new movement to reach 1.1250. In this article, I will explain the price action from the Elliott Wave perspective and share my trading plan for this week.

The Fibonacci that stoped the fall

In the previous article "Elliott Wave Keys for the EUR/USD this week" appeared the Fibonacci 88.6% (1.1052) retrace as a possible hero who could contain the EURO and make it bounce, last Friday the price hit it and just bounced up there. When I see these types of events, I confirm that we are not alone, Fibonacci levels are levels that we should not ignore, instead observe and validate their importance with other techniques.

Elliott Wave EUR/USD Chart - 4 Hours

Elliott Wave news

Let us talk about the EUR / USD today, the explosive bullish move in the EURO that happened last Friday. With big candles that moved the price higher but failed to stabilize at the top of the cycle, so then the price reacted on Monday to the downside, and today we see it near the 50% retracement (1,1008). In terms of Elliott Wave, the previous movement is called wave (A) (orange) now we are in front of wave (B) (Orange). I estimate that the target for its end will be 78.6% (1.1075).

Inside the wave (B) (Orange) a ZigZag "ABC" (Green) appears, the wave "C" (Green) is in progress and the price is expected to fall to 1.1075. If the price bounces after impacting this support, we will be facing an excellent opportunity to enter the market long and aim the 1.1250. On the other hand, if the price does not bounce and continues to fall, impacting the previous low 1.1052, we can see a different scenario and a new low below 1.1026 can be expected.
