QUICk ANALYSIS: EURUSD: 2 possible ways flag will finish

FX:EURUSD   Euro / U.S. Dollar
After taking a -20 pip loss on my last trade idea on this pair, I have now re-analyzed my wave count and come up with 2 possible scenarios for which I think could lay out the ending of this wave B corrective pattern which is a bear flag that is completing. Once completed, the bear flag will lead to a nice move down in a wave C. I will be looking to catch that move down.

Scenario #1 - Double Combo WXY Finishing with a Ascending Triangle
In the MAIN chart above, I have laid out this possibility. I am leaning towards this scenario as the price action more or less is pointing in that direction. That's not to say that it will happen. But something to look for and be aware of.

Scenario #2 - Straight Double Triple WXY Combo Wave

Either way, I am looking for a fall. Just keep this DAILY chart I posted in mind:

MY TRADE PLAN
I am now just waiting to see which scenario will play out. Obviously, if prices reach the top TL of the flag and that TL holds, then Scenario #2 will be the first scenario to complete. Even if prices do complete the triangle in Scenario #1, Scenario #2 will have already happened. So what to do? How to know whether to follow Scenario #2 and take a trade when prices hit that upper TL of the flag or wait and see if Scenario #1 triangle forms before taking a trade? It's a good question and no easy answer.

What I will do since the risk will be well within my trading plan is to take a SHORT trade off Scenario #2 completion when prices reach that upper TL provided I get a bearish PA signal and just hold it from there. Why? Because even if the triangle does happen, I would expect that prices should remain below the entry point for my trade. Possibly. There is always the possibility that IF/WHEN that triangle does form, the E point may get broken and a false break may happen that would take prices above and beyond that trade entry wherever it is before dropping.
