FOREX Trading and Technical Analysis Observations

Comments from recent EURUSD technical updates remain valid - "I’d be surprised to see a sustained break through the December high (13126)...this is a high risk level and we should look lower." Zooming in on price action since 12/12, a triangle and terminal thrust into last night's high is visible. The thrust either completed the 5th wave from 12876 or a truncated C wave from the same level. In both instances, the immediate (1-2 days) outlook is towards at least 13040 and 12995. It’ll be interesting to see how the EURUSD closes the day and week in light of the trendlines currently in play.
