ANALYSIS: EURUSD: Whole Lots A patterns point the way UP!

Post-NFP, this pair has reacted to the upside as was expected technically. Prices bounced right off the bottom uptrend line of the larger contracting triangle. It has also respected the Gartley pattern I had identified last week that is now already in profit (+123 pips). Recent PA has now created a bearish bat pattern that has just completed. I expect that prices may respect this bat as well and head back down slightly before resuming an uptrend.

WEEK:LY CHART
This up move might be the beginning of a much larger uptrend in a wave C of a possible ABC zigzag correction that may see prices heading up SIGNIFICANTLY. Or it may be in the wave C of a ABCDE contracting triangle.

DAILY CHART
A little bit messy but I think the message is clear: LONG!

CONCLUSION AND MY TRADE PLAN
My analysis is telling me that this pair has a ways to go to finish this corrective consolidation phase it's in so I am not expecting any significant new downtrend to start. Not right now. So in that case, I am only playing this pair to the LONG side. Yes, it may still head down as I'm not infallible and the market will do whatever it will do regardless of how many pattern, lines, wave counts or whatever I put on the chart. But the rewards if I am correct are well worth it. If prices head down from the bearish bat that is currently in play, I expect only a small retrace and then head up from there without retesting the bottom trend line of the contracting triangle. However, if it heads down and through the trend line, then all bets are off and I'll need to re-evaluate what is happening.
