Hello trader,

Here are this week's wave analyses on the EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY daily, weekly, and monthly charts.

EUR/USD

The EUR/USD bullish reversal near 1.13 seems to confirm the end of a bearish wave 5 (pink) within potential wave A (light purple). The bullish bounce could be part of an ABC or WXY correction of wave B (light purple). The price is expected to complete the bullish leg, then make a bearish correction which is followed by a third move higher.

GBP/USD

The GBP/USD is at a key zone where a bearish break will confirm a continuation of the bearish trend, but a bullish breakout could see the price challenge a stronger zone of resistance (red/orange).

The GBP/USD has probably started the bearish wave 5 after the price has completed a wave 4 (light purple) correction.

The GBP/USD bearish breakout is probably indicating the start of wave 5 (purple) whereas, a bullish break above resistance (red) indicates that a different wave pattern is valid.
