Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY and EUR/NZD



 EUR/JPY

Today's Support and Resistance Levels:
R3: 131.04
R2: 130.50
R1: 130.24
Current Spot: 130.20
S1: 130.08
S2: 129.87
S3: 129.42 
Technical Summary:

Even though we saw a rally past resistance at 130.72 yesterday, the high came in early at 131.04 in what looked like a expanded ending diagonal, because of the early high and the expanded ending diagonal, I will keep the above as my primary count. That said I still have two Alternate Count (see below) tailing just behind and the odds are almost equal between them. For the above scenario we will ideally see a decline towards support at 129.87 followed by a correction towards 130.50, maybe slightly higher towards 130.69 before the next powerful (impulsive) decline breaks below 129.87 for a continuation down towards 128.84.
However, the risk is a direct break above 130.50 and more importantly a break above 131.04, which would call for a continuation higher towards 132.00 and will make the triangle count the new preferred count.
 
 Alternate Count no. 1
Alternate Count no. 2
 
EUR/NZD

Today's Support and Resistance Levels:
R3: 1.6798
R2: 1.6759
R1: 1.6730
Current spot: 1.6701
S1: 1.6666
S2: 1.6629
S3: 1.6572
Technical Summary:
The decline only made to 1.6325 before a very powerful rally took over and with the break above important resistance at 1.6570 we must consider the major X- wave, that began from 171.13, as finished. Therefor I'm looking for a new powerful zig-zag combination higher towards 1.7643 and more likely towards 1.8463 longer term. Short term I'm looking for support at 1.6666 to protect the downside for the move higher towards 1.6798 and maybe even higher towards 1.6870.

  1. Hi EWS:
    I've been using Net Station for the last weeks, and a important question about Fibonaci extensions call my attention, because is very difficult to make an extentension of to points (i. e. A and B) and project the result from a third point or C. How do you do? Using Maths?

  2. Hi EWS ZAR looking like could be ready for a nice short retraced 88.6% 10.29 top 9.61 bottom what your thoughts

  3. Hi EWS, welcome back !
    Regarding Eur/Jpy, why do you consider a possibility that wave 2 is a triangle ??
    It seems to me that Elliot wave rules do not allow to count as a triangle wave 2, is it correct ?
    However, we could count as a triangle wave B of 2. What do you think about it?
    Thanks in advance
    Alessandro

  4. Hi Manuel,

    What you do is meassure the wave from A to B with the extension tool, then click on the anker line and move the line to the point where wave C starts and now you should be able to see the extension ratios.

    Hope it makes sense otherwise just say so and I will try to explain it more clearly.

    Kind regards
    EWS

    1. You explained it perfectly, but it works with extensions above 100%, i.e. 123%;138,2%, etc... But if you want to measure a 38,2% or 61,8% of the distance between A and B, and then project this measure from point C, we will probably have a problem...Thanks a lot. Have a good day

  5. Hi JT,

    I'm still looking for USD/ZAR towards 10.71 and maybe even higher towards 11.09 before this rally comes to an end.

    So I would not recommend a short position at this point.

    Kind regards
    EWS

  6. Hi Alessando,

    I agree with you in the point that a triangle could not be wave 2 (I just haven't change the notation - Sorry my mistake), so if this mess turns out to be a triangle we have two options. One is that the correction since 133.81 has been a wave four triangle (I don't like this option) and the other possibility is that the triangle is a B-wave triangle. If it turns out that this is a triangle after all, then the B-wave triangle will be my preferred long term count.

    However a B-wave Triangle also tells us, that the rally from 94.10 will be retraced completly at some point.

    Kind regards
    EWS

    1. Hi John,

      Sorry for my radio-silence, but I'm pretty pressed for time right now.

      We have two-three possible scenarios right now. The most extrem is calling for a move towards 1.42 one is calling for a move closer to 1.3700 and the final calls for a top near 1.3450 (maybe the top we saw yesterday).

      I will try to find time to update the possible scenarios today or tomorrow.

      Kind reagards
