Comment: This year’s decline has been longer and taken the Euro far lower than we had imagined (having
only allowed for a correction down to the 1.3700/1.3500 area). After June’s ‘doji’ around 1.2140, the mid-point
between it’s all-time low at 0.8228 and high at 1.6040, July’s rally can be seen as a sort of ‘pincer’ movement to
May’s big drop. The Euro has already retraced 38% of the decline of the last seven months, adding weight to our
view that the move lower was overdone and some sort of massive ‘extension’. Over the summer we expect it to rally
to 1.3500/1.3700, undoing yet more of the massive correction lower that started in 2008, which takes the shape of a
huge A, B, C-type move. The very long term trend remains bullish.
A monthly close clearly below 1.1800 would force us to review.
