UPDATE #1: EURUSD; why prices declining? (+186 pips)

Following up on my previous post on this pair (see Related Ideas: "EURUSD; Overall bullish but why are prices are declining?"), prices are now reaching he completion of the bullish cypher. As of this posting, prices are just short of D point. In that post, I said that "I had posted a POTENTIAL Bearish crab pattern which almost completed but I was able to get in short a little later after seeing bearish price action and knowing that that wave up was near its end so I got in short on it. And I am now riding that trade down. ". I didn't actually post a TRADE CALL when I got in as I didn't have time to do so. But just FYI, I did get in the trade at 1.13763 after seeing very bearish price action. At this point, this trade has bagged +186 pips.

Now that prices are nearing the completion of the cypher, I am closing that position pending a coming wave 2. I think that this wave 2 should retest the bottom TL of the broken expanding triangle pattern I had mentioned about in my previous post and that you can see in the above chart. It also happens that the retrace to the bottom TL would be at the .382 retrace of that cypher CD leg and would also be the TP1 of the cypher. Should wave 2 end there, then we should see a STRONG wave 3 down.

MY TRADE PLAN
Closed the SHORT position on this pair that I had and will wait for the cypher to complete. If or when it does complete, I will take a LONG position on it to hopefully capture pips on the bounce up to the bottom TL of the former triangle where I think wave 2 may end. Then I will be looking to SHORT again.
