EUR/USD Technical Views- Double Zig-Zag (WXY) Structure; Larger-Degree Wave X Still Unfolding
Chart updated on 29.04.2026

Technical News – EUR/USD
Double Zig-Zag (WXY) Structure; Larger-Degree Wave X Still Unfolding

Following a peak at $1.2078 on 26 January 2026, EUR/USD has retraced part of its 2025 gains, falling to $1.1411 before recovering toward the $1.17 area.

From an Elliott Wave perspective, the pair appears to have completed wave W and is currently unfolding a larger-degree wave X within a broader double zig-zag corrective structure (WXY). While elements of wave X's internal structure appear relatively mature, the overall corrective phase is still in progress.

The recent recovery toward $1.17 is therefore interpreted as part of this ongoing wave X, rather than the start of a new impulsive sequence. As such, once wave X completes, the pair is expected to transition into wave Y, resuming the broader corrective decline.

In this context, a move lower is anticipated over the coming months. In the near term, an initial downside target is seen at $1.1100, which marks a key support zone defined by the Fibonacci retracement (0.382) and the previous fourth wave of a lesser degree. Further downside extension remains possible as wave Y develops.

On the upside, a sustained break above the $1.20–$1.2078 area would invalidate the current WXY corrective scenario.
