The following quote followed the article.

This correction, earlier speculated to have ended with an impulse wave, may now complete with an ending diagonal. With this extension, price may rally to 1.075 before the expected bearish trend resumes. This is just a probability, price can move in many other ways, but this is of high likelihood.

We spot this pattern because its the most likely we can think of to complete this structure. With two legs to go and bound below 1.075, we could have a good reason to short EURUSD soon. The chart below is the present price action.

The chart above shows that price is in the last leg of the diagonal pattern. Ending diagonal patterns are terminating patterns. They appear at the end of a motive wave ( 5-wave) or a corrective wave ( a-b-c correction). We expect upward movement to be contained below 1.0735  for this diagonal pattern to be valid. Any bridge above 1.0735 will cause this pattern, and by extension this analysis, to be invalid.

Trade Idea: Sell EURUSD at 1.0578 with stop loss at 1.0735 (invalidity price) targets at 1.037 and 1.025.

Note: This idea/analysis will be invalid if price rallies above 1.0735.
