EUR/USD (Annual, 2008)


for example, forex

As the survey EUR counting mirror variants of CHF counting given in The review of the bigger Time-Frames may be considered.

Supposedly the dollar’s global decline is of zigzag mode, in the form of diagonal triangle or triple zigzag and currently the ending zigzag [A]-[B]-[C] of V is forming. What shape wave [B] of V will assume isn’t known yet. But judging by the amplitude of wave (B) of [B], it may be an expanding or running wave flat, and also some variation of extended wave correction.

But if we consider wave (B) of [B] as a counteractive wave of a large wave pattern [B], then such a wave may develop only in a corrective mode. From this point view the variant of counting wave (B) of [B] in the form of ordinary zigzag seems to be interesting.

If the supposition is true to complete the second leg of zigzag — impulse C of (B) the price should form ending waves [iv]and [v] of C of (B). As a distinctive feature of this scenario we may suppose that wave [iv] mustn’t be deep and won’t leave the territory of wave (iv) of [iii] of C of (B) until zigzag A-B-C of (B) completes forming.

Otherwise the whole downward section of last 2 years may appear to be not the supposed incomplete corrective structure but some completed trend pattern, for example an impulse.

From the point of view of the wave theory such a variant of scenario is quite possible and is considered below, in the context of scenarios 2 and 3.

It is the possibility to present with minimum strains the upward section of the chart since the end of 2005 in the form of a completed impulse (see Figures E3 and E4) that allows to take it for either the first wave (1) of the second leg [C] of zigzag V — scenario 3, or entirely for the ending leg [C] of zigzag V — scenario 2.

If wave [v] of 5 doesn’t decide to form an upward extension, then as a distinctive feature of scenarios 2 and 3 we may suppose that the price will break out the territory of wave (iv) of [iii] of C of (B). Besides in case scenario 3 proves to be true forming of the so called Elliott’s double retracement isn't ruled out (blue dashed arc in Figure E4).
