Market Insight: EUR/USD At $1.30, Again
7/26/2010 4:15:00 PM

After making little net progress last week, the EUR/USD (euro-dollar exchange rate and the most actively traded forex pair) broke just above $1.30 level (July 26).

In technical analysis, a "round number" like $1.30 often marks a point of strong support or resistance (the latter, in this case). Prices can bounce around for a while, making several attempts to break it. And sometimes, when the level finally gives, prices rush past it with vigor.
 
The last time the EUR/USD rallied above $1.30 was on July 20 -- only to promptly reverse and fall as low as $1.2745 the very next day. Now EWI's forex trader-oriented Currency Specialty Service assessed whether the EUR/USD is in a better position to move higher this time around. In a July 26 intraday update, the editor Jim Martens writes:
 
EURUSD (Intraday)
Posted On: Jul 26 2010 1:51PM ET / Jul 26 2010 5:51PM GMT
Last Price: 1.2992
IF the rally from 1.2795 is going to extend to five waves, the euro could push to 1.3060, or even [higher].


Five-wave patterns (called "impulses") are the definition of a trending market, in Elliott wave analysis.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
