The low today is uncomfortably close to the prior low of 1.6032. It's not that far away from key support at 1.5963. This is .382 retracement of the entire move from 1.5345, the Feb. 11 low, and confluence. 1.6028 is the rectangle's lower boundary (outlined in gray on the three-hour chart below) so it lends support.
If the pair can't halt its slide here, the next support is 1.5995 (daily 50 SMA and confluence), 1.5891, and 1.5751/25, the .618 retracement as well as below a long-term daily trend line. This would certainly support that the high of 1.6344 was the end of a monthly ABC correction.
If the pair can recover before slipping beneath 1.6032, then resistance is at 1.6198 and 1.6243. Beyond that, look for a rally, possibly making it to the 1.6367, the weekly resistance line or 1.6465, the price where wave C would equal A on the weekly ABC correction.
Here's the three-hour chart:

My purpose in writing this blog is to show you how one trader, me, makes trading decisions and survives while trading Forex. One of the biggest problems I had when I first started trading was trying to apply the “rules” to actual trades. Another was the psychology—limiting losses and letting profits run. If you study my blog, you’ll see how I deal with both those issues. So my writings are not trade recommendations but rather educational in purpose. You have to decide on your own approach to trading. Remember that trading is risky.
