-
The EUR/USD completed a wave 3 (gray) of a larger downtrend. Now price action is preparing for a larger bullish correction.
-
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) failed to break the support and lows for several days. Price action seems to be moving north now.

EUR/USD bullish ABC zigzag pattern
The EUR/USD completed a wave 3 (gray) of a larger downtrend. Now price action is preparing for a larger bullish correction:
-
The EUR/USD bullish price swing is unfolding in a 5 wave pattern (blue).
-
The current wave is probably a wave 5 (blue) of a larger wave A (pink).
-
The first target is the larger 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the wave 4 (gray).
-
A bearish bounce (orange arrows) could take place at the resistance level.
-
A bearish correction should create an ABC (blue) pattern in wave B (pink).
-
The bearish swing should not break the bottom otherwise the ABC (pink) zigzag becomes invalidated.
-
A bullish wave C (pink) could complete wave 4 (gray) or a wave W of 4.
BTC/USD finding support and a bullish bounce
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) failed to break the support and lows for several days. Price action seems to be moving north now:
-
The BTC/USD was in a strong downtrend.
-
The main question is: has the downtrend completed a wave 5 (pink) of wave a (gray) or will there be one more low remaining?
-
The resistance levels are the critical resistance zone for that decision.
-
A bullish breakout (green arrow) could confirm a larger 123 (blue) pattern within an ABC (pink).
-
A bearish bounce (orange arrow) could indicate an ABC (blue) pattern within a WXY (pink).
-
Eventually price action is expected to complete an ABC (gray) pattern.
USD/JPY
The USD/JPY is building a bearish correction in a solid uptrend:
-
The uptrend seems to have completed a wave 3 (pink) pattern.
-
The bearish correction is choppy and shallow, as usual for a wave 4 (pink).
-
The wave 4 (pink) remains valid as long as price action does not correct below the 50% Fib or deeper.
-
A complex correction via a WXY (blue) pattern could unfold in wave 4 (pink).
-
A bullish bounce is expected at the 38.2% Fibonacci level if price action manages to reach it.
-
Price action needs a clear higher low plus bounce before the wave 4 (pink) could be considered completed.
