Key Quotes
"The well-established downtrend of the EUR shows only temporary supports at 1.3100 and at 1.2910."
"Given the extent of the latest down-cycle from 1.3701 in EUR/USD we are confident of dealing with an internal 3rd wave decline which could end at 1.3104/01 (Sep. 13 low/weekly Ichimoku-lagging) or at 1.2916/08 (weekly trend/wave 1 x 1.618)."
"One of these support clusters will most likely provide the launch base for an internal 4th wave recovery, which has currently a projected target at 1.3362 (minor 38.2 %). Only above the latter and above pivotal resistance between 1.3449 and 1.3503 we'd see room for a stronger recovery to 1.3701 or 1.3795 (pivot/int. 76.4 %)."
