Then, after the consolidation range 1.37-1.44, course fired 700 points up (the width of the range) and reached in November, the maximum level of 2009, 1.5144. Since then started a correction that already in January 2010 has resulted in more than 1,200 пунктовому reduction. If we take into account the above mid range, the pair is now in its lower part. Armed with linear-тренодовым assay can notice the actual achievement of the upper boundary of the triangle 2008-2009, which was broken in 2009 before achievement of annual maxima. Now the achievement of this border is the lower limit of the expected range of fluctuations, which reinforces the expectation of the potential support in the vicinity of the 1.3700/3800. Also don't forget about the Fibonacci levels - there is 50% of the total growth in 2009.
Scenarios for February: the Main support - 1.37-38 (upper limit previously punched a triangle, and 50% growth over 2009). Breakthrough down gives the top-down scenario from a distant goal of 1000 points down (is unlikely and may be likely to 1.35 - 61.8% Fibo).

The situation is such that we are now seeing a correction and fluctuations of the pair within the correctional downward channel (see brown dotted line). Both the channel confirmed, parallel and may represent an important support and resistance levels for future fluctuations of the pair. Take into consideration also the internal channel of the oscillations (see the green dotted line), breach of the lower border of which will lead to the achievement of the lower border of the bearish channel.
Scenarios for February: Ongoing support - 1.5900/50. Breakthrough down gives a certain extension of a sideways range and reduction to 1.55 (the lower boundary of the correction downward channel). Drop even below gives a goal in the area of 1.47-48. Any rebound will have a purpose on a punched support, then again to expect the decrease (steps).

Long-term downward trend line from the top of 2007 (124.10), which is located in the area of the 93rd figure, a role it played in this year, the pair reached her and while rollback 450 points downward, meaning from the expected earlier resistance actually there is a strong pressure. This trend is the upper limit of large descending triangle, the lower boundary of which is a line to a minimum 2004-2008-2009's. the Border is quite serious and may further serve as a good reason for the movement in case of breakdown of one of them.
