In last night’s technicals, we wrote that “there is a bearish count left that is valid.  That count treats the rally from the low as a complex correction (W-X-Y) but wave 4 would be awfully large in relation to wave 2.  Look for support in the 1.87/25 zone.” 



Clearly, we should have paid more attention to this count as it proved correct.  Hindsight is 20/20 though.  What is the probable path for sterling from here?  A drop below 1.8212 would complete a 5th wave - we would then look for a bottom.  Wave iv would equal wave i at 1.8332.
