Overbought/Oversold

The Detrended Oscillator is moving into the overbought area. The overbought is still some 30 pips above, oversold - about 80 pips below. Assuming that the major trend may be reversing to the upside and the current wave (colored red) being corrective (B) it's advisable to wait until the price reaches one of the Fibonacci supports and then look for reversal signals to enter long.
