After a very sharp and extended move up on USDMXN from 2014 through 2016, the currency pair have been trading sideways.
And the formation is a triangle pattern.
A lot of non-Elliott Wave oriented traders would see this as a continuation pattern. This is fine, but from an Elliott Wave perspective I assume that contracting range is part of a weakness that is taking the currency pair away from 22.00 high.
Why? Because I see first drop on USDMXN from 2017 high being very sharp and strong; to me, it looks like an impulse. So I labeled it as wave A that belongs to an ongoing and deeper wave four correction.Â
If I am not mistaken, then this fourth wave should be made by A-B-C waves.
But why I think this pair can be interesting now is because B-wave triangle appears to be coming to an end.
I really like that price action on a daily chart (see below) where drop from 20.25 to 19.31 is impulsive so it suggests that a three wave rise from April 2019 low is completed. And the best part is that even if consolidation will not be broken yet, I still think that the lower side of the range will be retested around 19.00 which is my minimum downward objective.
After any sharp drop below 18.75 I would start looking for aggressive drop lower into wave C. Any rise above 20.25 would invalidate my current view, and that’s also the price where I could start considering more direct-bullish interpretations.Â
