EUR/USD ‘a-b-c’ correction over? – Commerzbank

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

In opinion of Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, notes the correction higher in spot could be coming to an end.

Key Quotes

“EUR/USD remains above the 1.07 area. The Elliott wave count is suggesting that an ‘a-b-c’ correction higher is terminating (we have TD resistance circa 1.0780 on the 240 minute chart) and we look for the 1.0625 near term support line to be eroded - failure here is needed to add weight to the idea that the correction higher is complete and would cast attention back to the 1.0372/40 recent lows. Currently the market looks bid but we have a TD perfected set up on the daily chart and will try small short positions”.

“We remain unable to rule out a move to 1.0820 50% retracement and 1.0875 the December high. This will make little impact on the overall bearish chart”.

US JOLTs report in focus

In the US, the June JOLTs report will be in the spotlight. Job openings have increased modestly this year, which has historically predicted rising wage cost pressures ahead.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
