Fibonacci levels present breakout spots in Forex 2016.08.24

EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD is in a contracting triangle chart pattern (red/blue lines) at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of wave E vs D. A bullish break could price make an extension of wave 5 (green) towards the 78.6% Fibonacci level. A bearish break (below blue) however could be a first indication that the ABC (purple) zigzag has been completed. A break below the other support lines (green) indicates the potential for a larger bearish reversal.

1 hour

The EUR/USD is either expanding wave 4 (green) or it has completed wave 5 (green). A break above resistance (red) indicates a bullish continuation, whereas a break below the Fib levels of wave 4 vs 3 (green) indicates a completion of wave 4 (green).

GBP/USD

4 hour

The GBP/USD is either completing a wave 5 (blue) or extending the wave 5 (blue) with an internal 5 wave indicated by wave 1-2 (pink). A break above the 100% Fib level invalidates the pink 1-2. For the moment price seems to be expanding the bullish correction via a WXY (green) towards the resistance trend line (red/orange).

1 hour

The GBP/USD is struggling with the resistance trend line (orange) but a bullish break could see a continuation of wave C (blue) to the 78.6% Fibonacci level of wave 2 vs 1. A bearish break below support (green) would indicate that wave Y (green) is completed and start a bearish reversal.

USD/JPY

4 hour

The USD/JPY will either break the support (green) for a downtrend continuation or break above the resistance (orange/red) and potentially start a reversal. The current wave 1-2 (blue) is invalidated if price breaks the bottom of wave 1.

1 hour

The USD/JPY has support (green) and resistance levels that mark a potential breakout.
