Elliott Wave Analysis |
GBP/JPY Elliott Wave Analysis The British pound traded narrowly after falling to 149.10 earlier and we are keeping our bearish count that the second c leg of the wave 4 from 118.87 has possibly ended at 163.00 and consolidation with downside bias remains for further decline, a daily close below said support would bring test of 146.75 support later.146 Full Report Here... GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis The rebound in the British pound from 1.6113 suggests the first leg of decline from 1.7044 has ended there and consolidation within 1.6113-1.7044 would take place with mild upside bias and although gain to 1.6688 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.7044 to 1.6113) cannot be ruled out, upside should be limited to 1.7000 and as long as 1.7044 holds, another decline would take place later this month.

GBPUSD Candlesticks and Ichimoku Analysis Although the strong rebound from 1.6113 suggests gain towards the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.6848) is likely, as long as resistance at 1.7044 (where a shooting star candlestick pattern was formed) holds, further consolidation would take place and another retreat to 1.6320/30 cannot be ruled out, however, only a break of 1.6113 support would revive our previous bearish view for correction of recent upmove towards 1.5983 support.

USDCHF Candlesticks and Ichimoku Analysis The greenback finally broke below indicated chart support at 1.0370, confirming the decline from 1.2298 (Nov 2008) has resumed and further weakness to 1.0176 (61.8% projection of 1.1967 to 1.0592 measuring from 1.1026) is now in progress, break there would extend towards 1.0011-39 (previous chart support and 100% projection of 1.2298 to 1.0370 measuring from 1.1967 respectively).
