GBP/JPY is on the verge of breaking the two-day rising wedge to the downside, setting eyes on 133.44 or 133.16 to bounce off and move on to a correction of the broke trend-line. More risk lies at 132.94 and 132.82, clustering into a tough demand area which will battle the weak Pound. The area is strengthened by an Ichimoku cloud
The Sterling has been trading in a broadening ascending wedge against the Canadian Dollar since the middle of October. Previously, the currency exchange rate traded in a rectangle, which was enforced by two Fibonacci retracement levels, namely the 38.20 % at 1.7435 and 23.00% at 1.0598. The Fibonacci retracements are measured by connecting the 2015 high and 2013 low
The Greenback reversed its movement against the Russian Ruble prior to the US presidential election and formed a descending channel pattern. In the meantime, the currency exchange rate is in a much larger, long term channel down pattern since April. In addition, the currency pair has been affected by the Fibonacci retracement levels, which connect the 2015 low and 2016
Following a few tests of the bottom trend-line, USD/SEK continued its climb inside of a channel up pattern, currently floating in the middle, but eyeing the upper trend-line for future tests. The market calmed soon after the movements gained amplitude upon the announcement of a Trump victory, but experts stand at a weaker Swedish Krona for an extended period of
GBP/USD took up some volatility on the Election Day, but managed to stay underneath 1.2550, forming a double top. Currently consolidating, the rate will give us signals around 1.2364, where the neckline lies. A downtrend is consistent with markets considering Brexit as higher risk than a Trump presidency, meaning that the Pound is likely to extend its streak of losses.
The Aussie recently broke out of an ascending channel pattern against the Singapore Dollar, and the currency exchange rate continues to move in the borders of the new channel up pattern. However, both of the patterns were active simultaneously since the middle of September. It is rather a situation, where a pattern, which forms in the borders of a larger
The AUD/CAD currency exchange rate is one of the currency pairs, which was not heavily influenced by the US presidential election. For the past month the rate has been fluctuating in the borders of an ascending channel pattern, which represents the pairs surge after rebounding against a larger channel's support line. However, most recently the rate's surge was stopped by
While an ascending channel has led the movements of USD/SGD for about two and a half months, a double top at 1.3959 could serve as a trend-changer consistent with a gloomy Dollar outlook caused by a Republican victory. If the pair continues to consolidate even respecting the current ceiling, it could still stay inside of the channel lines and post
Showing signs of a channel at some point, EUR/CHF eventually formed a falling wedge, suggesting that the pair will surge in the nearest future. This is a scenario consistent with rising demand of safe haven currencies, as a Trump victory in the US election brings pessimism into markets. A break above the upper trend-line of the wedge at 1.0818 will
The Kiwi, surprisingly, is the currency, which ignores the US presidential election. For example, the NZD/USD currency exchange rate continued to trade in the previously set medium term pattern, which it formed as a result of rebound of the long term ascending channel pattern's support line in the middle of October. Most recently, the currency pair reached the medium term
As it is the US Election Day, and Trump and Hillary go head to toe in a battle for the presidency of the United States, that is all which is going to affect the markets today and in the next few trading sessions. Due to that a few interesting cases of trends are being looked at during today. First is
Led by a channel down pattern, USD/ZAR came across 13.3543 which failed to give access to levels underneath, suggesting that the current downtrend might be losing momentum and a reversal could be on the way. A close above the upper trend-line at 13.5298 would likely result in a tap at 13.5957/6191 before a correction of the broken area. The surge
Technical aspects suggest that the XAG/USD consolidation has likely come to an end and built up bullish potential will manifest itself in a rally out of the month-long symmetrical triangle at 18.29. While it is hard to tell which area exactly will prove strong enough to cap the motion for a retracement, there are some potential targets in sight. The
The EUR/CHF currency exchange rate is moving lower in accordance with a descending channel pattern, as the common European currency approaches the support line of a larger pattern against the Swiss Franc. The larger pattern is a one year old triangle, which is hard to spot at the first glance. The rate is set to move to the triangle's lower
The common European currency is surging against the Japanese Yen in accordance with an ascending channel pattern, as the currency exchange rate is approaching the resistance of October and September high level of 116.25. Although, in the recent months the currency pair has been bouncing around the 200-period SMA, which indicates that it might not break the resistance just mentioned,
While a decent symmetrical triangle has been leading the uptrend in USD/CHF, April 2016 drew a new bullish pattern, namely – a slightly flattish channel up with the next target being 0.9557 which lies below. We see the next wave north breaking the triangle pattern around 0.9870 January or February 2017. With SMA pressures weighing from above to guide a
Moving along the lines of a channel pattern, EUR/CHF entered a downtrend with short-term downside potential until 1.0734 which would then make levels underneath unattractive, sending the pair on yet another motion up. We will be watching 1.0804, 1.0738 and 1.0780 which will lead the pair to levels unseen since the Brexit vote and August 2015 before that. In case
A symmetrical and ascending triangle combination suggests a long-term surge for AUD/USD, setting eyes on 0.7652 as the first level on the current wave down. Most recent movements have, however, arguably taken the form of a channel down or falling wedge and considering the other patterns, we would lean towards a wedge, which confirms the bullish signal of other patterns.
The Canadian Dollar is depreciating against the Swiss Franc in a descending channel pattern, as the currency exchange rate just recently broke through the support of a large scale descending channel. Moreover, the large scale channel's lower trend line was supported by the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement. The Fibonacci retracement levels, which have shown the possibility to affect the currency pair's
The Turkish Lira recently reached the combined resistance of a large scale descending wedge's resistance line and the 200-day period SMA against the Japanese Yen. Afterwards, the currency exchange rate bounced off the combined resistance and moved lower. In the following decline of the currency pair a short term falling wedge formed. However, it is clear that the short term
Elevated from October lows, EUR/TRY contained itself neatly into an ascending channel, pushing through annual and larger-scale resistances. Currently attempting 3.4779, a level unseen since 2015, the rate is threatening to close in an all-time high area. We would expect some more tests of the significant area, meaning that the channel could break if the pair is not ready to
EUR/NOK sellers built up some momentum, as highs became lower in a rising wedge. While it appeared that the pair might turn the wedge into a channel up pattern, the recent wave lost amplitude on the upside, causing a premature slip targeting the bottom trend-line at 9.0648. Although it might be a case where the pair tests 9.0856, the
The US Dollar was surging in an excellent, short range ascending channel pattern against the Chinese Yuan, as analyzed by the Dukascopy team. However, that was before the US presidential elections and their intrigues began to influence the strength of the US Dollar, as investors began to dump the Greenback in favor of other safe investments like the bullion or
Although the Pound is fully being dictated by the events connected with the Brexit and UK politics, there still exist patterns, in accordance with which the EUR/GBP rate fluctuates. Just recently the currency exchange rate broke out of a short term ascending channel pattern, which was expected to occur sooner or later. However, the catalyst for this move was a
