Euro Crosses: Clear Bullish Opportunities

Now is the time to position for bullish breakouts in a number of Euro crosses.  The EURGBP, EURCHF, and EURAUD are present the best opportunities.





Since the April high (.8096), the EURGBP has been stuck in a sideways correction (most likely a triangle).  Such consolidations are usually continuation patterns, so we expect a break to the upside before a major top forms. 


The bullish EURCHF count remain favored.  “The 1.5326-1.6376 rally is in 5 waves, therefore expectations are for a similar 5 wave rally to succeed the corrective decline from 1.6376.”  A bullish bias is warranted against 1.5991.


Longer term, there is no change to the call for a push through 1.6324.  Near term, the rally from 1.5278 is not clearly impulsive and it is possible that price action since the March top at 1.6324 is unfolding as a triangle or flat.  Expect the range to tighten going forward if a triangle is underway.  As mentioned, a thrust through 1.6324 is still expected; the triangle just delays the move.


Since August 2007, the EURAUD has traded in a tightening range, but with a bullish bias.  The higher lows since 1.5491 and the multiple tests of resistance just shy of 1.75 favor a bullish break soon.  Fibo support extends to 1.6643 short term.  Now is the time to position for a break through 1.75.   


The EURNZD is showing signs that it may have put in a major top.  A drop below 2.0548 would make the drop from 2.1854 in 5 waves.  A corrective advance should then follow.  In summary, the EURNZD should remain supported for the next few weeks (after a dip below 2.0548).
