Indifferent between a channel or triangle pattern, AUD/USD entered a downtrend, signalling an extension over the nearest future. On the day south, the pair will come across 0.7656, the 55-hour SMA, which could flatten the motion towards 0.7645, the bottom trend-line of the triangle. Major supply is likely to cut the losses at 0.7630 for a retracement of the broken
Gold inevitably surged due to the approaching US election, as investors expressed the uncertainty that has been prevailing in markets recently. A monthly high of 1306.97 sent the pair packing to continue its way between the channel lines, possibly setting 1295.56 as the next target. This is not, however, carved in stone - while the channel has not experienced any
As the Aussie trades against other currencies in a triangle pattern on a larger scale, the EUR/AUD exchange rate is an interesting and quite unclear case. A few weeks ago the rate seemed to have broken out of the descending triangle pattern. However, the rate rebounded on October 26 due to fundamental data, as the US election shook the markets,
The Australian Dollar recently surged against the Japanese Yen in an ascending channel pattern. At the same time the currency exchange rate is also trading in accordance with a symmetrical triangle pattern, which has been forming since June. Although, the triangle's resistance line is also a downtrend, which has provided resistance to the pair since 2014, and the line was
Following a downward break out of the rising wedge, NZD/JPY acted conventionally by executing a retracement towards the broken trend-line. An extended downtrend would come across some resistance at 74.58/48 – the Ichimoku cloud- with more prominent supply at 74.44/37 and 74.15 more to the south. With 73% of traders shorting the pair, there is still possibility for a return
USD/DKK stepped down from the eight-month high at 6.8537, adding an upside restriction to the downtrend to form a channel a week ago. The pair is showing trouble with the current wave up and is still sticking to the bottom boundary at 6.7231. A move to the upside will be capped by the 6.7500 area and several intermediate resistances are
As most exotic currency exchange rates the GBP/CHF is simultaneously trading in three patterns. In the case of the Pound against the Swiss Franc, all of these patterns are channels. First of all there is the minor descending channel, which represents the rates move from the medium term pattern's resistance to its support line. The medium term pattern revealed itself
The US Dollar recently reached the lower trend line of an ascending channel against the Swedish Krona. In addition, this move is consistent with the larger scale ascending channel, as the currency exchange rate bounced off its resistance last week. It also has to be mentioned that the large scale ascending channel is represents a breakout from a massive descending
NZD/USD took up some volatility to form a symmetrical triangle just to lose it again as the bounds became distinctly narrow. Currently targeting the upper trend-line at 0.7199, the pair is likely to weigh on the bottom boundry at 0.7157 on the following wave, and we will look for the level to break. The dip will be likely cut by
Following the "Flash Crash" of October 6, the Pound did not truely recover, and maintained the gloomy themes in a descending channel. GBP/USD just tapped the upper trend-line of the triangle at 1.2248 and is currently being squeezed against it by the 200-hour SMA at 1.2213. With several other SMAs collectively working against the dive, the pair will face some
The US Dollar recently has been depreciating against the Polish Zloty in a descending channel pattern. The channel has formed itself, as the currency exchange rate attempted to break out of a large scale triangle pattern, as for the whole year of 2016 the pair has been trading in a triangle pattern. Moreover, the channel and the triangle actually share
The common European currency rebounded against the larger descending channel pattern's lower trend line against the Russian Ruble on October 25. In the aftermath of the rebound an ascending channel. Moreover, a significant role in the direction of the rates movements is being played by the Fibonacci retracements, which connect the 2015 low level and the high level of 2016.
A flattish channel up has been running the trend for EUR/CAD since April, and is currently on its way towards the upper trend-line of the pattern at 1.4952. With various SMAs and a cloud below lifting the pair up, it is likely to reach the trend-line with ease, with a single obstacle at 1.4881. In case bullish momentum beats closest
Sticking to the bottom trend-line of the almost two-week wedge, NZD/CHF shows little doubt of a bear-trend, at least as high as 0.7089 – the upper trend-line of the wedge. The rate will have to battle 0.7073 and 0.7081 before the trend-line is attempted, and a close above would shift risk to 0.7098/99 or 0.7107/08 which would then leave little
While an attempt at reversing the previous downtrend failed on the fifth wave, USD/NZD went on to repeat the motion, forming a double bottom at 0.7118 with a neckline at 0.7182. A close above this level would confirm a change of trend and set the next major target at 0.7247 where October 20 highs lay – a scenario quite likely
The Hong Kong Dollar is another currency, which has reversed its direction against the Japanese Yen, as the currency exchange rate broke out of the long term descending channel pattern and has formed an ascending channel. Most recently the currency pair broke the resistance put up by the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement, which connects the 2016 low level with the 2015
The Singapore Dollar is in a quite strange situation against the Japanese Yen from a technical trend analysis perspective, as the currency exchange rate has broken out of a more than a year old descending channel pattern. The breakout occurred after the pair had been trading in a short term descending channel and, after hitting the pattern's lower trend line,
Led by a rising wedge turned channel up, CHF/JPY added some upside restriction which still requires some confirmation. The pair attempted a small-scale double top formation and got as far as breaking the neckline just before repeated tests of the upper trend-line of the channel at 106.08. While we do expect a slide towards the bottom trend-line of the channel
USD/TRY traded flat on Friday, approaching the bottom trend-line of the channel up - and a tap might strengthen area or break it. While we lean in favour of an extended uptrend inside of the channel, a rising wedge has characterized recent movements and is now testing the weakness of the pair around 3.1440. The pair appears to be pushing
Staying relatively closer to the bottom trend-line than the upper one, EUR/JPY traded consistently inside of a channel up for a month, executing several false downside breakouts. While indicators remain strongly bullish, the pattern appears mature enough to break sometime soon – a prospect strengthened by a wedge-like formation sketched recently. Squeezed between SMAs at 79.84/86 and 79.55/52, the rate
EUR/JPY executed its first consistent rise since the beginning of October, and shows little doubt on the strength of the uptrend. Currently hovering mid-channel, the pair will launch a new attack at the 200-hour SMA confluence at 113.73 which in its nature releases a strong BUY signal. Inching down towards the bottom trend-line, the rate will tap it around 113.67
The Swiss Franc is depreciating against the Japanese Yen, as the currency exchange rate is simultaneously in two descending channels. First of all, the pair has been moving lower since June 2015, and, secondly, the rate is also in a short term channel, which represents the rate's movements near the larger channel's resistance line. In addition, the exchange rate is
Most recently the Kiwi formed an ascending channel pattern against the Loonie. The channel was formed as a result of a rebound of the currency exchange rate against a large scale ascending channel pattern's lower trend line, which was supported by the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement. The Fibonacci retracements connect the 2016 low level of May and the recently achieved 2016
A set of patterns sending mixed signals on the future direction of EUR/NZD suggests that it could go either way in the short term, while we lean heavily in favour of a bearish market in the long term. On its way to the bottom trend-line of the channel down EUR/NZD sketched two overlapped patterns – a symmetrical triangle and an
