    Well, my €$ count is the same as yours.
    I am expecting a rally up, and already 170 pips since 1.33.

    Attached are some charts. Correlation with oil on €$ isn't what it used to be, but oil is rallying right now.
    Dollar index also suggests a move up.



    Happy New Year !.............

    Happy new year to you as well!

    Mind you that 1.33 is the 61.8% retrace from 1.47 and the 1.618 extension from wave A (or 1). If this is indeed a wave III, and a retest of 1.33 is to come, it might run flat. If 1.33 break, we might be in a new down cycle.

    Guys
    Happy New Year to all...wishing you all health and happiness!
    Now, the Pound seems to be playing according to plan. Going by this count, price seems to be going for 1.6100 be fore the final wave 5 fall. Still over a thousand pips away from the the target.

    €₤

    €₤ is at an interesting juncture. The 50% retrace and 1.618 ext. of A.
    By a break we can expect to go to 61.8% retrace. If it holds, we're going up.
    Keep a lookout!

    unless the rally to 1.2981 is a truncation, the usdcad is expected to bottom before 1.1459 and head much higher...probably close to 1.40....over the next few months

    Not only that, but it is also at the 38% of 1 through 3, so if this is the right count, this should hold. if it fails - this might evolve into 5 waves down.

    looking at my detailed work from last year, there is this possibility that the eurgbp has already topped out..
    entering here may get a trading style #4 trade.

    Well I did short the Eur/Gbp at .9600...took profits today and shorted again at .9200..
    So far this year is starting off on the right foot. As far as this thing heading up from here...I dont know.Given the fact that Im looking for the Pound to rally another 1000 pips,
    (http://www.learncurrencytrading.com/...-post4680.html)
    I don't think it would be a smart move to go against it...not with any currency.
    Im with you here...I believe we may have a top here.

    For those who are seeing five waves complete on the EUR/GBP, how are you counting the previous fourth wave expanding triangle?
