Windsor Brokers - Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

Completion of 1.3738/1.3475 bear-phase is expected to trigger fresh rally, as the third wave that commenced from 1.3561 higher low, broke above its 76.4% expansion, aiming towards 1.3765, 100% Fibonacci expansion, regain of which to validate wave principles. The wave could travel to 1.3842, its 138.2% expansion, once 1.3765 barrier is cleared, with interim resistances laying at 1.38 zone, previous tops of Oct/Dec 2013. Technical outlook is positive and favors further upside, with consolidative phase near 1.37 handle, expected to precede fresh leg higher. Initial support lies at 1.3680, previous peak / minor platform, ahead of 1.3660, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.3561/1.3723, where dips should find solid support.

Corrective action faces initial supports at 1.6700 and previous peaks at 1.6670 zone, also Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.6424/1.6821 upleg, where dips should be ideally contained.

Only stronger pullback below 1.66 handle, also Fibonacci 38.2% of larger 1.6250/1.6821 rally, would sideline near-term bulls.
