EUR/USD Daily Update, Thu 22, December 2011
Good morning,
looks like finally we've got what we want - market has shown solid pattern on possible downward continuation and we've spoken about it yesterday. This is bearish stop grabber on daily time frame. Second important moment on daily is that the high of this pattern stands right between previous lows - 1.3142-1.3212, that is as we've said "perfect" for bears. Market just retested them from the downside.
So, our next target is 1.2830-1.2880 level. Also we can't exclude continuation to 1.2750 due reasons, that we've discussed in weekly analysis.
After that some deep retracement is possible, because market now at monthly Agreement.
On 4-hour time frame, we see that trend has turned bearish after market has reached 1.618 target of our AB-CD and has shown failure break of daily flag.
Hourly trend slightly bullish, and market turns to some retracement. Most probable level, that this retracement could reach is 1.3106-1.3109 - Agreement near weekly pivot. Since market is not at oversold and both trends are bearish - market should not show deep retracement. Absolute failure point is a high of stop grabber at 1.3224, but if even market will move above pivot and hold there - this will be worry sign.
Also market could show even smaller retracement to 1.3083 - 0.618 extension. So, you should decide how you will act in current circumstances.
