Hourly chart with indicators

Bias:I still see risk for the downside to reach the 0.9845 target

Daily Bullish:Frustratingly the 0.9945 resistance broke but only by 6 points and as such I still feel that the downside is more likely to bear more fruit. Thus only a move above yesterday’s high at 0.9951 would bring more chance of additional gains. If seen look for price to extend higher to 0.9988 and probably the 1.0005 area which stands a good chance of holding. Next resistance is then found at 1.0048-57.
MT Bullish:21st May: We can lower the reversal resistance to around 0.9955 and above there would likely yield greater gains. Initial resistance is at 1.0005 and further at 1.0048-57 and 1.0100.
Daily Bearish:While the 0.9945 resistance was broken it was only by 6 points and thus I’ll cautiously stick with a scenario calling for additional losses towards the favored 0.9845 target. Somewhere around this level should hold. Also note support at 0.9812 and 0.9780. 
MT Bearish:16th May: With limited recovery the downside is not necessarily over and while 1.0051-84 caps there is still some risk of seeing losses through to the original 0.9845 support.  
 

ELLIOTT WAVE COMMENTS

Elliott Wave Chart

16th May

The whippy price development is confusing things and we need watch for breaks. A small potential triangle exists with resistance around 1.0046-51 and a base around 0.9900-10. Thus consider these as break levels.

Since we haven’t really seen a big correction higher, a direct decline should see wave equality in Wave (c) at least which is at 0.9931. Only below extends to the 76.4% retracement in Wave (ii) at 0.9845.

20th May

Cautiously I feel we may just see the 138.2% projection in Wave (c) at 0.9841 where Wave (ii) will have retraced by 76.4%.
