Chart Prepared by Jamie Saettele, CMT

FOREXAnalysis: “The 5 wave rally from 9632 does suggest that the trend is higher from that point. The goal now is to identify the secondary low (wave 2 or B). Price is consolidating around the 50% retracement of the rally from 9632 and a move above 9881 would break the series of lower lows.” Near term pattern (since the December low) isn’t especially clear. The case can be made for an impulsive interpretation of both the rally from 9824 and the decline from 9971. In other words, that evidence is of no use right now. It’s best to wait for clarification.

FOREXTrading Strategy: Nothing for now.
