Judging by the Cable's fluctuations in May, there is a bearish channel emerging on the hourly time-frame. Accordingly, the bias towards the currency pair is negative, but in the short term we are highly likely to see appreciation of the British Pound, as the currency has just bounced off the lower boundary of the pattern at 1.6674. Once GBP/USD overcomes
EUR/PLN was unable to cross the resistance at 4.2026 on May 18, and since then the Euro has been mostly moving lower and lower. As a result, there is a bearish channel on an hourly chart, implying that the rallies will not advance beyond 4.1590. Instead, the price is supposed to move further south. The immediate support is at 4.1345,
A massive sell-off (15 figures) in the last year's second quarter was stopped by the support at 0.92. Since then the Australian Dollar has been generally outperforming its Canadian counterpart. As a result, there is now a bullish channel emerging on the chart. However, at the moment the exchange rate is undergoing a bearish correction. The dip is likely to
GBP/NZD will reach the apex of a 94-bar long ascending triangle pattern in a few hours, suggesting that the breakout is looming. Now the pair is following a upward trend and considering the SWFX data-almost 60% of all orders are placed to buy the pair-the upcoming exit may be bullish. Technical data also props up this view. If this comes
During more than two months started in mid-March, the Euro was depreciating against the British Pound; however, the currency pair managed to halt its slide by entering a bullish tunnel on May 22. At the moment, the pair is sitting above the 50-hour SMA at 0.8135, albeit slightly. In fact, EUR/GBP had been struggling at the short-term SMA for
The New Zealand Dollar has been losing ground against its U.S. counterpart since early May, when it approached a three-year high of 0.8780. In the second part the month, NZD/USD entered a bearish corridor that took it to a two-month low of 0.8452. Now the currency couple is moving in the south direction and if the decline persists in the hours
AUD/CHF has been on the rise since May 21, when the pair embarked upon formation of the channel up pattern. Now the upswing may have come to an end given that AUD/CHF has almost broken the lower limit of the corridor. However, market players have not lost faith in the pair-more than two-thirds of them are bullish on the
The breakout has already occurred. Nevertheless, the descending triangle pattern formed by USD/ZAR is still worth paying attention, as bulls have received another strong boost from the so-called throwback. After a move back to 10.393, the pair received another strong bullish bias, and as soon as bulls penetrate the 200-period SMA and recent high, then they will aim weekly R2
Usually we recommend to avoid trading triangles with empty space, however, in this case the indication of the narrowing trading range is so clear, that a massive spike looks almost inevitable. Additionally, there is a clear ‘sell' signal from technical indicators, and keeping in mind strong resistance represented by 200-period SMA, the appreciation is unlikely. Moreover, fundamentals are speaking in
As EUR/AUD failed to sustain an upward momentum a month ago, it came under strong selling pressure. This has led to formation of the bearish channel that implies a ceiling at 1.48 (down-trend and 200-day SMA) and a target at 1.4450, on the condition that the currency pair breaks the support represented by the May 15 low.Nevertheless, most of the
Since the last time we looked at EUR/SEK, the Euro has made some progress and decoupled from the lower boundary of the channel. The currency has also breached the 200-period SMA, thereby reinforcing the bullish outlook. Accordingly, the pair is now targeting the upper rising trend-line at 9.23. However, there are some obstacles that have the potential to halt this
For more than a week started on May 21, CAD/JPY has been forming a channel up pattern that now is over 180-bar long. Currently the pair is appreciating, being underpinned by a recent jump from the 50-hour SMA at 93.70. However, to remain in the up-trend, the currency couple has to overcome a cluster of resistances at 93.77/4.08 (four-hour
Having reached a one-month high of 116.89 early May, the Swiss Franc commenced long-lasting depreciation against the Japanese Yen. While losing its value, the pair entered a downswing sloping corridor that now is 80-bar long. At the moment, the pair is trading not far away from a four-month low of 113.04 it hit on May 29 and given the overall bearish
The Euro has been in the down-trend versus its British counterpart since mid-March; however, the formation of the bearish channel started only about month later, on April 11. Now EUR/GBP is erasing gains it accumulated during a jump from a six-month low of 0.8083 hit a few days earlier. If the pair prolongs its slump, it is likely to fins some
Despite the fact EUR/USD breached the lower trend-line of the 150-bar long descending triangle pattern a day earlier, the most traded pair has not retreated farther than 20 pips from the pattern's support up to now. We may claim a two-month low of 1.3603 is acting as a strong support level that has been preventing the currency couple from a
The single currency has been under the pressure since the last ECB's meeting, while more pain for the Euro is expected from the part of fundamental analysis. Technicals are supporting this idea, as aggregate technical indicators on the 4H and daily chart as well as market sentiment are pointing at further depreciation of the single currency versus the Japanese Yen.
The GBP/JPY is struggling at the crucial level, represented by pattern's support. A move below 169.66 will mean a long period of depreciation, while in case of a pullback, the pair will continue fluctuating between two horizontal trade lines. Market sentiment is not clearly marked, while technicals are supporting the case for pair's depreciation. At the same time, statistically, a
Since April 14 the AUD/SGD currency pair has been fluctuating between two parallel trend lines. After a recent re-test of the support line at 1.1531, it is now bull's turn to push the price towards the upper trend line. While short– and medium-term aggregate technical indicators are neutral, we still can expect a move higher, at least to the weekly
USD/TRY has been moving to the south since January 27, and it seems that the downward rally will persist. Just recently, bulls have made several attempts to penetrate the upper trend line. Each new high, however, has been lower than the previous one, and the pair is facing a strong resistance from the 200-period SMA. While vast majority of opened
A 161-bar long channel up pattern formed by EUR/CHF originated in mid-April and helped the pair to recover some losses it faced during more than a two-month slump started in the first days of 2014. Currently, the pair is trapped into a 17-pips wide range restricted by its short-term and long-term SMAs at 1.2218 and 1.2208, respectively. Meanwhile, we see mixed
The pair of two European currencies, EUR/PLN, followed a bearish trend after it hit a one-month high of 4.2268 late April. In mid-May, the downswing became more distinct as the currency couple entered a downward-sloping channel. At the moment, the corridor is 179-bar long and there are no indications that EUR/PLN is willing to stop its losing streak. The pair
A sharp advance performed by USD/SEK took the pair to a six-month high of 6.6539 during three weeks started early May when the instrument embarked upon formation of the 87-bar long rising wedge pattern. To continue its bullish trend in future, the currency pair has not only to re-approach the recent high but also to surpass this mark, above which it
EUR/NOK has been in the down-trend since early February when it re-approached a two-year high of 8.5492. One of the formations developed during this slide is a 98-bar long triangle pattern started in the beginning of May. The pair has recently reached the apex but the breakout is yet to come. Bearish market sentiment – 83% of traders hold short positions
AUD/CHF has been moving similarly to EUR/CHF since January. The Swiss Franc is losing its positions versus other major currencies, and according to Dukascopy traders, the tendency will persist, as they are selling the Alpine currency in 74% of the time across the board. Additionally, technicals on a daily and weekly charts are sending ‘buy' signals, supporting the case of
