The NFP came and went and basically, nothing happened despite the bad employment numbers. Just another example why you just can't trade on fundamentals! However, the chart tells another story. My last post on this pair I suggested that this pair was headed down after following a predicted spike over the resistance zone. If you know about fractals, this move was all already projected to happen as per the fractals.

Here's the previous chart I posted on EURUSD about my projections and my read on the fractal relationship:

Shortly after I made that post, prices began falling as predicted. When prices spiked up over the previous resistance, that also completed a Bat pattern and reached the MAJOR TL I talked about in my previous post.

The main chart above shows where things stand after the NFP. Prices moved back up during the NFP to retest the previous resistance turned support now turned resistance again. After testing that level, prices were rejected and should now continue the move down.

One clue as to what will happen is going back to the previous touchpoint of that MAJOR TL where there was also another completed bat that resulted in a +552 pip move back down. And the retrace of that move was .618. If prices do move as projected all the way back down to the lower TL, that will also be a .618 retrace.
