October 08, 2018 08:33

Below you will find this week's wave analysis for the EUR/USD currency pair, the GBP/USD currency pair and the USD/JPY currency pair using the daily, weekly and monthly charts.

EUR/USD

The EUR/USD currency pair has either completed a wave B (purple) at the recent high, or the price will still expand the bullish correction via the WXY (pink) within wave B (purple). The main support level to something to keep an eye on, because of the current 1.15 round level and the 78.6% Fibonacci level around 1.1410. A bullish break above the 1.1550 with intra-day trading could already indicate a potential bullish bounce.
