The daily shows that the trend remain up following cable's bounce from trendline support in Augus. The decline from the top is either wave A (favored) of a larger A-B-C decline or the entire A-B-C correction (alternate).
The 2.0654-1.9651 decline was clearly in 3 waves. For this reason, we know that a correction is either complete at 1.9651 or that a larger correction is underway (will complete below 1.9651). The advance from 1.9651-2.0366 is most likely either wave A of a 3 wave advance from 1.9651 or wave 1 in a new bullish cycle from 1.9651. The decline to 1.9879 is either wave B or 2 of the structures mentioned. Either way, wave C or 3 is underway now and will not end until clearing 2.0366. Meansured objectives for the end of the rally from 1.9879 are 2.0439 (78.6% of 2.0654-1.9651) or 2.0593 (where the rally from 1.9879 - 1.9651-2.0366 rally).
Zoom in even closer and you can see why we are bullish at the current juncture. The 1.9651-2.0366 rally was a 5 wave advance and the decline from 2.0366 was in 3 waves. This strongly indicates that 2.0366 will be exceeded. As mentioned before, a large C wave or 3rd wave is underway from 1.9879 and a series of 1st and 2nd waves is already complete therefore we can limit risk to 2.0084. We are not specifying a target now because of the bullish potential that arises is this indeed a 3rd wave. We will publish targets at DailyFX+.
