Trading Outlook:

Despite the recent upward ABC correction towards the level of 1.1625, the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made at the top of the bounce and the bears are still in charge of the market. The next long-term target for them is the parity level. The level of 1.0351 has not been tested since 1985, so the down trend is strong, however, the market is extremely oversold on longer time frames already. In order to terminate the down trend, bulls need to break above the level of 1.2275 (swing high from August 10th).
