Euro Crosses Head In Different Directions

1. EURJPY
2. EURCHF
3. EURGBP



EURJPY The EURJPY may be tracing out an ending diagonal in the 5th wave position of a 5 wave bullish sequence that began at 148.85.  If an ending diagonal is unfolding, then we should expect one more high above 159.03, and then a downtrend that will take the pair below 153.66.  A decline below 155.25 negates the short term bullish bias.  Ideally, 156.20 holds as support. 


EURCHF We wrote last week that the push through 1.6171 indicates that wave 5 has been in progress since 1.6058.  Focus has shifted to the 161.8% fibo of 1.5847-1.5032 at 1.6348.  This rally will complete a larger 3 wave advance from 1.4395.  The A and C legs of the advance from 1.4395 would be equal at 1.6484, at which point a risk of reversal is high.  The rally extended to 1.6289 last week and reversed in what may be the beginning of the larger reversal.  However, only a decline below 1.6082 warrants a confident bearish bias.  A rally through 1.6289 shifts focus to 1.6348.     


EURGBP We have focused on the fact that the EURGBP is turning higher from a major low and the extended third wave from .6574 confirms our bullish bias.  A 4th wave correction should unfold soon and give way to another thrust higher.  The next resistance level is the 11/16/2006 high at .6798.  A 4th wave down would likely start from near current price (200 SMA as well) and test .6714 the 23.6% of .6574-.6757.  Of course, if .6757 is exceeded, then Fibonacci levels would need to be re-calculated.
