Top Trade Idea For April 8th, 2014 – EUR/USD



Price action on EURUSD has been a real mess lately. Pair however lost around 300 pips from March high but it was not easy to take any action within this downtrend because of some very overlapping price action, and also because bigger trend is still up.
Pair fell down to 1.3671 following the NFP report on Friday, where prices could be forming a bottom now, especially if your primary tool for analyzing the markets is the Elliott Wave Principle. From that perspective we can see a double zigzag from 1.3966 high which is a corrective pattern. In other words, it’s a downward retracement within larger uptrend, and once this move is complete you would expect that decline will be fully retracement.

Now the question is how to identify end of the pattern. Well, always when you see a five wave move from the low or high you should know that something is changing on that particular market. So in our example of EURUSD we will check the wave structure on lower, hourly chart.

As you can see pair has turned up clearly in five waves in impulsive fashion, which means that bulls are again trying to become stronger and that trend is changing from bearish to bullish mode.  Even if market changes a direction just temporary you would expect more gains after wave (b) / (ii) pullback. So from a trading perspective there is room for a trade to the upside.
Based on current market conditions and structure trade could be as follows;

Buy 1/2 of your position size at market
Buy limit for 1/2 of your position size at 1.3720
Stop loss is 1.3670
Target is 1.3870

Trade well!
