the price has made a strong rally thru and closed above the chasm line and is con- tinuing to rise. breaking thru and above an ml leaves a Lot of room above with the possibility of breaking thru 1.32 , but all that's the Daily For Tuesday April 30/13 the price could go up to the 1.3130s and then start to decline in a correction. if it does rally to the 1.32 level it could then also begin a correction and in both cases still remain in a bullish mode. so still seeing upside, 1.32 ? 1.3270 ? 1.3170 ? 2:25pm pst
there's still some upside remaining, however today, tomorrow and Friday each con- tain their separate uncertainties about rates and numbers until the actual facts have been stated looking ahead a week, the eco reports are heavier for the EU than the US, so I'll go out on a limb and suggest a down week then - revision provided For Wednesday May 1/13 downside could possibly be as little as 1.3145 and another rally to , , , well, there's still that upside, 1.3270 maybe, popping the 1.33 ? 2:33pm pst

Cycle gurus (John Taylor) predicted a top at 1.3220 as well, and said the decline will last until June/July time frame and head down towards 1.24. That was in last week's missive, though. Wonder if they changed their tune this week. Those guys are pretty uncanny with their predictions.
Last night's missive stated that they now see 1.3350 as a potential high before the downtrend resumes, but said if we actually see that high print, it's a good place to sell for a downtrend to resume in mid May. Given the spike up after the ECB cut rates this morning (bizarre) that high print might actually materialize. Fed cuts rates, dollar goes down. ECB cuts rates as planned, Euro goes up.
