FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for May 17, 2018

EUR/NZD - 4 Hourly

We were looking for upside acceleration, but important resistance at 1.7310 once again proved to be strong to break and the bulls gave up the effort to conquest this resistance. Instead, the bears turned EUR/NZD 180 degrees around and managed to break below short-term important support at 1.7056 indicating that wave ii/ still is developing. This means more downside closer to the 169.19 - 169.55 area should be expected before wave ii/ finally completes and is ready to surrender itself to the next rally higher in wave iii/, towards 1.7474 and 1.7832 as the next upside targets.

Trading recommendation:
