EUR/USD Analysis – February 17th: Does the Euro Have Enough Strength?

This image is no longer relevant

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart remains clear. Since September 25, a new downward structure has been forming, which took the shape of a five-wave impulse movement. As expected, the fifth wave developed into a convincing structure and now appears complete. If this assumption is correct, then a corrective upward structure has begun, which should consist of at least three waves.

The first wave in this correction formed a clear structure, leading me to believe that the second wave will also take a distinct three-wave form.

Overall, the current wave structure is straightforward, and the fundamental background still favors sellers. Recent U.S. reports indicate that the economy remains strong, with no signs of recession. The Federal Reserve is proceeding cautiously with policy easing, while the ECB remains more aggressive in rate cuts. This divergence suggests that, in the long term, the U.S. dollar should remain in demand. However, for now, the market is undergoing a correction.

On Monday, the EUR/USD pair declined slightly, but further movement remains possible before the day ends. Since there were no major economic releases, I do not expect significant price swings before the market closes.

The current wave (c) remains unfinished because its peak has not yet exceeded wave (a)'s high. Therefore, I anticipate a slight increase in the euro before the correction completes. Once this occurs, the second wave correction could conclude at any moment, forming a convincing three-wave structure.

The next market movement will depend on traders' sentiment. If participants need more time before transitioning into wave 3 of the downtrend, then wave 2 could extend into a five-wave formation.

Last week's price action showed that EUR/USD movements are not entirely dependent on fundamentals. European economic data remained weak, yet euro demand increased. However, I believe that selling opportunities should be considered near the upper points of wave (c) in wave 2 or the potential wave (e) in wave 2 (if formed).

It is also important to note that individual waves can sometimes take unusual shapes. The key is to understand the broader wave structure, which currently remains well-defined.

General Conclusions

Based on this EUR/USD analysis, I conclude that the downtrend structure remains intact. Currently, the first wave of this trend appears complete, indicating that the next phase should be a corrective three-wave movement or a more complex formation. Selling opportunities should be sought at the highest points of this correction.

The first wave of the assumed wave 2 has been completed, and wave (b) in wave 2 is also finished. I now expect a convincing wave (c) in wave 2.

On a higher time frame, the wave structure is shifting into an impulsive formation. This suggests a potential long-term bearish cycle, though its length and structure remain uncertain at this stage.

Key Principles of My Analysis:

  1. Wave structures should be simple and clear—complex formations are harder to trade and often subject to changes.
  2. If market conditions are unclear, it is better to stay out of the market.
  3. There is never 100% certainty in price direction. Always use Stop Loss orders to manage risk.
  4. Wave analysis can be combined with other analytical methods and trading strategies to enhance decision-making.
