(MENAFN- DailyFX) EUR/USD has reached multi-year trend lines at 1.25, which also is significant according to Elliott Wave Theory. Our Elliott Wave analysis suggests a large trend lower begins from nearby levels.
The Elliott Wave pattern on EURUSD is ripe for a turn lower. We described previously through a cluster of price zones near 1.25-1.26. This price zone on EURUSD plus a mature Elliott Wave pattern hints a bearish turn is upon us.

Therefore, a break below this support trend line confirms further the mood of the EURUSD market is changing and that the three-year flat pattern has likely ended.

Second Target: 1.09 to 1.12 (risk to reward ratio is 1 to 5)
Third Target: Open as EUR/USD could eventually drop to retest 1.04 lows
