Elliott Wave Analysis: EUR/USD & USD Index

The USD is going higher, but not against all the currencies; we see it in a strong bullish mode only against the EUR and CHF at the moment. Well, JPY is also looking weak, but I thought it would be much weaker with current bullish stocks.

On the Euro/U.S. dollar (EUR/USD) currency pair we have seen a nice decline over the last 24 hours which seems to be an impulse in progress with more weakness coming as a recent leg down is most likely an extended red Wave iii), so any bounce will be temporary in Wave iv) which can either see limited upside at 1.0520 or at 1.0555.

As you can see on the USD Index chart, we are looking at the same situation there, now Wave iii) is up, so more upside may follow after a pullback.
