Since early April when AUD/CHF attained a five-month high of 0.8325, the currency couple has been in the down-trend that led to formation of the steadily converging bearish corridor. At the moment, the pair is vacillating below the short- and long-term SMAs, albeit slightly. In the hours to come, AUD/CHF may attempt to break through its SMAs meandering close to
Since Mar 18 the trading range of NZD/USD has been widening. It has grown from 140 pips to as much as 220 pips during the last month. As a result, there is an ascending broadening wedge being formed on the four-hour chart.In the near term the kiwi is likely to be sold off, as the currency pair has just encountered
While we can argue that GBP/NZD is forming a channel up at the moment, there is also a good opportunity for a symmetrical triangle to emerge, given the most recent fluctuations. Considering that this pattern suggests continuation of the general trend, the risks are somewhat skewed to the downside. However, in order to confirm its bearish intentions, the currency pair
After hitting 6.3149 on February 4, that was the highest since September 2010, the Norwegian Krone began its appreciation versus the U.S. Dollar. However, after touching a low at 5.9124 just five days ago, the pair bounced back to resistance line of the channel down pattern that was formed on February 20. The short-term outlook is bullish, as indicators on
GBP/CHF has been depreciating since February 6, when the pair bounced back from 1.4628 and it seems that this level limit pair's depreciation now as well. However, after touching that level the pair has formed a channel down pattern, which is 255-bar long already. On April 8 the pair refused moving above pattern's resistance, and even though such a move
Although a stab to a four-month high of 119.20 seems to have exhausted CHF/JPY potential, the pair managed to withstand the downside pressure and even shaped a bullish formation-ascending triangle pattern. Now the pair is trading at the lower boundary of the pattern as 50-and 200-bar SMAs at 115.92 and 116.18 have been pressing the pair to this mark
Since mid-March, the Euro has been losing ground against the Australian Dollar and on March 20 the pair entered a gradually converging bearish corridor that sent EUR/AUD to a five-month low of 1.4653. Currently, the pair is vacillating between the recent low and the 50-hour SMA at 1.4737. According to technical data, the pair is likely to prolong its losing
Having hit a four-month high of 0.8402 in mid-March, EUR/GBP commenced a three-week decline that took it to a one-month low of 0.82316. After that, the currency couple reversed its trend and embarked upon formation of the channel up pattern, within which it is fluctuating at the moment. Now the pair is sitting at the 200-hour SMA at 0.8265 that represents
The British Pound started its downside trend after it touched a one-month high against the Japanese Yen early April. The downswing has been developing in the 149-bar long bearish tunnel that pushed GBP/JPY to a three-week low of 169.50 a couple of days earlier. Since then, the pair has been appreciating and now it is trading just below the channel's
After being directionless during the last quarter of 2013 the New Zealand Dollar resumed appreciation relative to its Canadian counterpart. As a result, the currency pair has already covered 10 figures since Jan 1 and seems to be ready to continue the bullish motion. Accordingly, as long as the rising support trend-line at 0.9446 remains intact, there are good reasons
Although starting from Feb 20 GBP/NZD has been in a distinct down-trend (loss of more than 11 figures), right now there appear signs of an emerging recovery. One of such arguments is formation of a bullish channel on an hourly chart. This pattern implies a strong rebound from the support at 1.9220 and subsequently a rally towards the upper boundary
Since mid-March the Australian Dollar has been on the rise against the Japanese Yen and the pair is not likely to cease its advance in the hours to come since the descending triangle pattern formed early April seems to have failed to contain the pair's climb.

After losing its value relative to the U.S. Dollar during more than two weeks ended April 1, the most traded precious metal started to appreciate. Although the rally has been lasting for almost two weeks, the yellow metal is not likely to halt it in the nearest future given that gold opened above the upper limit of the 75-bar long
A jump to a six-week high of 7.7677 in the second part of March provoked a massive sell-off of USD/HKD that had lost almost a hundred pips before it slowed down the pace of decline and entered a falling wedge pattern that now is circa 100-bar long. At the moment, the pair is sitting slightly above the short-term SMA at 7.7536
USD/JPY commenced a retreat at a three-month high of 104.12 attained in the very beginning of April. The decline has been being performed in the 163-bar long bearish corridor that pushed the pair to a three-week low two days earlier.

The current bullish momentum of GBP/USD may not be as strong as during last year's July-September advancement (from 1.48 to 1.63), but it allowed the currency pair to form a bullish channel. This upward-sloping corridor serves as an evidence in favour of sustainability of the current recovery. Accordingly, there is a good chance that the support at 1.6638 is going
Following the release of the FOMC minutes, the greenback received a strong bearish bias and continued its depreciation versus the Danish Krone. The pair, however, found a strong support at a weekly S2 at 5.3777, where it was trading at the moment of writing.

Strength of the Swiss Franc has been a major concern for the SNB.

Similarly to EUR/USD, EUR/HKD is also forming an upward-sloping channel on the hourly chart. A week ago the currency pair hit a rock bottom near 10.60 and since then has been generally moving north while fluctuating between two parallel rising lines.Accordingly, the Euro is expected to find support near the up-trend line at 10.7679 and carry on with the rally.

This allowed the currency pair to form a bearish channel with the resistance line at 1.6117 (reinforced by the weekly and daily R1 levels) and with the support line at 1.56.Being that the formation itself assumes a prolonged decline and at the moment the price is fluctuating in the
Despite being bounded by the trend-lines of ascending triangle pattern originated on April 2, EUR/DKK performed several unnaturally wide swings that nevertheless failed to lead to the breakout. Now the pair is trading very close to the apex that will be attained in several hours, suggesting that the real breakout lies ahead. Currently, the pair is sitting right below the
A 272-bar long bearish, gradually narrowing tunnel caught GBP/NZD late January when the pair approached a two-year high of 2.0443. Since then the Great British Pound has been losing its value relative to its overseas counterpart; however, the pair may change direction soon as it broke though the pattern's resistance, meaning that the breakout might have happened. Market sentiment supports
The yellow metal is prolonging its winning streak started in the very beginning of April when XAU/USD reversed its trend after a two-week decline from the seven –month high of 1,389.86 attained in mid-March.
