2017-12-21
Wave summary:
The break above resistance at 134.50 told us that wave (D) still is developing and more upside towards the "old" 137.37 target should be expected to complete wave (D) and set the stage for the final decline within the huge triangle consolidation, that has been developing since July 2008.
Support is now seen at 134.40 and again at 133.84. The later should be able to protect the downside for more upside closer to 137.37.
R3: 136.05
R2: 135.75
R1: 134.90
Pivot: 134.40
S1: 133.84
S2: 133.57
S3: 133.24
Trading recommendation:
We will buy EUR at 134.10 and place our stop at 133.40.

Technical analysis of GBP/USD for December 21, 2017
2017-12-21
The British pound against the Dollar is pulling back down towards 1.33 support after hitting resistance at 1.34-1.3450. Trend is mainly sideways while the longer-term picture remains unclear.
Red lines - resistance
Green line- support
The GBP/USD pair is trading again below the Ichimoku cloud. Price made another lower high yesterday above 1.34 but is still below last high of 1.3464. Bulls need to break above cloud and trend line resistance at 1.3410 and 1.3460. Support at 1.33 is crucial.
Black lines - long-term trend lines
Green line - support
The GBP/USD pair continues to respect both long-term trend lines. A break below 1.33 will push price towards 1.3150-1.32 where the upward sloping black trend line is found. A break above the downward sloping black trend line at 1.35 will push price towards 1.38-1.40.
Technical analysis of USD/JPY for December 21, 2017
2017-12-21
The USD/JPY pair as expected is breaking higher. I continue to expect that price will eventually reach 115 over the coming weeks. Trend here is bullish. I'm a buyer at pull backs.
Price has reversed higher off the 50% Fibonacci retracement in the Daily chart and is breaking above the Ichimoku cloud resistance. Trend is bullish. Daily support is at 113. Resistance is at 113.90.
The USD/JPY pair is respecting weekly cloud support. Price back tested the weekly Kumo (cloud) and is now bouncing higher above previous week's highs. Trend is clearly bullish and I expect 115 to be reached soon. My bullish view can only be canceled on a break below 111.50.
Short 21 December 2017, EUR/USD
Short 21 December 2017, EUR/USD
Technical Observation:
After a tremendous rise to the upper side, Eur is currently rallying within a falling channel formation. This is a flag formation and could signal an increase in the previous dominating up trend. If the price can breakout above the upper trend line, then this will be another good place to pick long position towards 1.22. As it is, I expect a decline in price towards the lower trend line and then a bounce to pick a long position. If the price breaks out below the lower trend line, then I expect a decline towards 1.1200.
