Full Report Here... | Elliott Wave Analysis | EUR/JPY Elliott Wave Analysis The single currency continued to trade in a near term narrow range and we are holding our count that the wave i of wave 3 has ended there and further consolidation would take place. If price drops below 132.17 support, stronger correction in wave ii would bring fall to 131.48 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the wave i from 127.00 to 138.72) but 130.00 should limit downside and bring wave iii of 3 later.

USD/CHF Elliott Wave Analysis As indicated in our previous update, the wave (c) from 1.1967 is still in progress and the currency pair just made another 8-month low at 1.0529 yesterday, however, the pattern of the move from 1.0935 suggests a possible diagonal triangle wave v is unfolding and marginal fall to 1.0451 (50% projection of 1.1742 to 1.0592 measuring from 1.1026) cannot be ruled out, however, as long as 1.0370 support holds, we are still holding our view of a triangle wave b count.

EURCAD Candlesticks and Ichimoku Analysis As the single currency has continued to trade narrowly above 1.5186, suggesting further consolidation would take place and although mild upside bias is seen for gain to the Tenkan-Sen (now at 1.5757), upside should be limited to 1.6000 and bring another decline later. Break of said support would extend the fall from 1.7509 to 1.5106 (100% projection of 1.7509-1.5642 measuring from 1.6973), then 1.4901 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3289 to 1.7509) but support at 1.4702-19 (100% projection of 1.6973-1.5346 measuring from 1.6329 and previous chart support) should remain intact.
