Following a tap at three-month highs, GBP/NZD proved the area unsustainable with a channel down. The pattern has a solid and an alternative trend-line, based on the pair's recent step under the bottom boundary, which it is testing now. In case the pair goes on to rebound, the trend-line will be confirmed, meaning that it remains inside the pattern. If,
EUR/NZD continued its track away from one and a half year lows that it had slid down to during December. A channel up pattern is now guiding the motion and we have two scenarios in mind for future movements. Firstly, we would expect the pair to reach towards the bottom boundary of the pattern at 1.5112 and then bounce north,
The US Dollar is losing strength against the Polish Zloty in a short term descending channel pattern. The pattern is a representation of the rates fall from the resistance of a medium-term descending channel pattern. The rate is set to move to the dominant pattern's lower trend line in the upcoming weeks. However, the pair has proven to be highly affected by the Fibonacci retracement
The common European currency is depreciating against the Norwegian Krona in a descending channel pattern on a short term. Meanwhile, the currency rate is trading in a medium-term ascending channel pattern. The short term channel is a representation of the rates bounce off from a 50.00% Fibonacci retracement level that is located in the middle of the pattern at 9.1130. The relevant Fibonacci retracement levels on
After taking on some bullish momentum and establishing a solid uptrend, EUS/TRY added a bottom boundary to form a rising wedge and potentially let bears gain strength amid lower highs which now have the potential to cause a reversal. Currently making its way towards the upper trend-line of the pattern, the pair will test 3.6423 before any weakness takes over
GBP/CHF kicked off the New Year with a fall, causing a 1.1% slip, but building up bullish potential for an upward breakout form the pattern. The pair will encounter immediate resistance at 1.2534/38, opening the way for tests of 1.2547 and then 1.2560/63. The scenario is supported by the pair's proximity to the upper boundary of the pattern, which means
The Australian Dollar has traded against the New Zealand Dollar in an ascending channel pattern since December 29. In the meantime, the currency exchange rate is in two descending channel patterns. Most recently on January 4 the currency pair hit the crossroads of the two larger descending pattern upper trend lines. As a result the Aussie began a retreat against
The common European currency is depreciating against the Russian Ruble in a descending channel pattern, which has been covered previously. However, the latest developments of the situation need to be addressed. After falling and encountering the support provided by the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level the currency exchange rate surged until it reached the descending channel's upper trend line. As a
Higher lows led to a falling wedge formation for EUR/SEK, indicating that the bullish breakout that has just occurred is technically credible. The pair has been stalled by the daily R1 at 9.5690, leading to tests of the cloud support at 9.5584 – consistent with the expectation of a retracement being in progress. The corrective motion will be cut by
GBP/JPY broke tough support at 143.84, along with a descending triangle, suggesting that the downtrend could be sustainable, possibly after taking up a motion of slightly less steepness. A bearish crossover between the 55 and 200-hour SMAs could help the pair maintain its weakness to pass support at 142.59 and dive even more. There will then be little to stick
A falling wedge led NZD/USD south, causing a build-up of bullish momentum, which should soon be expressed. The short-term movements have now entered a market that could be characterized as ranging, as the rate has entered a red Ichimoku cloud. We would expect the pair to continue its path to the northern boundary, and stickiness at the area could lead
EUR/PLN slipped from annual highs and entered a flattish motion which has now turned into a falling wedge pattern, meaning that bulls could take over sometime soon. The pair is currently testing the bottom boundary of the pattern at 4.3789 and we would expect the rate to break the pattern to the upside and target 4.4265, the 2017 high –
Following a breakout from the rising wedge to the downside, NZD/CHF entered the bullish themes in an ascending channel pattern. The pair is now on its way towards the upper trend-line of the formation in a steep and conclusive motion, but we will look for 1.7144 to send it packing again, respecting the pattern. The way north will, however, be anything but smooth with strong
While GBP/USD showed solid signs of weakness in a head and shoulders and then channel down patter, it managed to break the latter to the upside, suggesting that a bullish outburst should follow. The pair is currently testing the 200-hour SMA and could now experience some flatness before eventually breaking through. What make the area even stronger are a set of other time-frame SMAs, which
What appeared to be a hopelessly ranging market in USD/CAD, has now taken the form of a head and shoulders pattern and built up potential for a reversal. The pair is currently testing the neckline of 1.3462 and in case of a breakout, a bullish outburst should follow. There is a strong supply area above the neckline at 1.3469/3480 where
AUD/SGD showed a rather ranging market on the 30 minute chart, but managed to show signs of an emerging uptrend bound by an ascending channel which is yet to show weakness. January 2 showed a lot of volatility on the upside, but the market has now re-entered regular fluctuations, and appears to now be targeting the upper boundary of the
While CHF/SGD broke the channel up it had been following for around a month to the upside, the pair has returned inside the bounds of the pattern and is now making its way towards the bottom trend-line at 1.4111, where we will look for a reversal into the next bullish wave. The pair will then target the upper boundary of
EUR/JPY stuck closely to May highs and confirmed it will not be addressing levels below in a falling wedge pattern. The rate has just broken the formation to the upside, which is consistent with the signal of the wedge, causing the rate to tackle the aforementioned high (based on daily chart) at 123.39 once again. In case the tests are
USD/JPY soared to levels unseen since January 2016 just to prove the level unsustainable and slip inside a channel down pattern. The pair is now sticking to the upper boundary at 117.56 and is supposed to slide towards the bottom boundary of 115.94 anytime soon. The scenario is supported by the rising wedge sketched on a smaller scale inside of
The Hong Kong Dollar moved the USD/HKD market on its own amid a Bank Holiday in the United States. A distinct downtrend was bound by the trend-lines of a descending channel, which led the pair away from half-year highs and appears to be sketching a shady head and shoulders formation. The pair is now making its way towards the bottom
USD/ZAR posted a year-long bear-trend on the daily chart, concluding it with a volatile but ranging market and recently forming a symmetrical triangle. The pattern implies that the downfall could extend soon and the pair could break its trading range to the downside by stepping underneath the 13.19 mark. A death cross formation just above the current rate is an
Silver entered a neat channel up pattern late December, but is currently losing volatility as highs become lower and more risk shifts to the downside. XAG/USD sketched a motion uncharacteristic for the pattern, which could imply that the pair will either once again attack the upper boundary and then go on to tests of the bottom one or that it
USD/PLN opened 2017 with a prominent leap above the falling wedge pattern at had formed previously and now appears to be gaining some downward momentum which will most likely lead to a retracement from the broken trend-line of 4.1837. Levels, such as 4.1934, 4.1898 and 4.1855 will mess with the momentum and could as well serve as a floor in
The US Dollar is only in one notable channel against the Singapore Dollar. The rate is in ascending channel pattern, which represents the Greenbacks gains against the Singapore Dollar for the past three months. Although that might seem simple, there are other factors that need to be examined and taken into account. First of all there is the significant force
