After stopping 13 dollars short of the upper bound of the 11-month rising wedge, the price started forming a descending triangle, a pattern that portends a sell-off. The bearish outlook will be confirmed once the rate closes beneath the key support area between 1,278.50 and 1,276.50. The target will then be the lower bound of the wedge at 1,225.However, being
The Australian Dollar started a channel down pattern on April 11 against the Singapore Dollar. At the moment, the currency exchange rate has reached the upper trend line at 1.0033, and it started to bounce off it and thus confirmed the pattern. On its way down the rate first faces a cluster of resistances below at 0.9976 where the 55
The European currency is in a channel down pattern against the Singapore Dollar, and at the moment the rate has bounced off the upper trend line. However, it seems, that the rate bounced off the trend line early and without confirming it for a third confirmation. The currency exchange rate is at 1.5236, and it is approaching a cluster of
There are still only few confirmations, but USD/TRY is trading within a descending channel after the currency pair peaked out near 3.08 last year. The US Dollar has recently bounced off of the upper bound of the pattern, and we therefore expect the currency to depreciate throughout June and July. The rate should then meet the support trend-line at 2.79,
The bullish channel the pair is currently trading within is the result of NZD/CAD stabilising after the sell-off from 0.95 that started at the very beginning of the year. As it stands now, the New Zealand Dollar is likely to appreciate to 0.9450, where the rate should meet the two-year falling resistance line and begin a new major bearish wave.
The ascending channel has a correctional nature, being that AUD/CAD has been bearish since January, and it is currently well below the levels seen at the start of the year. Also, the sentiment in the SWFX market is slightly bullish (55% of positions are long), meaning we are unlikely to see a recovery towards the six-month down-trend. The channel should
An interesting pattern is forming on the Euro against the Swedish Krona pair, as the currency exchange rate has just confirmed and broken out of a triangle pattern, which indicates a change of the pair's trend. As the pair broke out the triangle pattern, it looks like it formed a channel up pattern. At the moment, the Euro is appreciating
The US Dollar started a channel up pattern on the four hour chart against the Swedish Krona on May 1. At the moment, the currency exchange rate is at the middle of the pattern around the level of 8.3500 and on its way up to the upper pattern's trend line at 8.5300. However, the pair faces three more resistances on
EUR/NOK has been bearish since the start of the year, but considering that a major descending resistance trend-line has just been broken (June 13), the price should now be driven by buyers. In addition, the fact that the single currency is oversold (71.5% of positions are short) also favours a stronger Euro. During the next couple of days the rate
Prospects of USD/SGD are currently mixed. From one side, the pair has formed a bearish channel, which implies the near-term rallies are to be contained by the red trend-line at 1.3520, while the target is the lower trend-line of the pattern at 1.3440. The negative outlook is reinforced by the technical indicators in all three relevant time frames and is
The US Dollar entered a channel down patter on the one hour chart against the Zloty on June 7. At the moment, the currency exchange rate has rebounded against the pattern's lower trend line at 3.9298, and it is moving north at 3.9466. On its way up, the pair is now facing the second weekly resistance at 3.9763 and the
On a four hour chart, the US Dollar entered a channel down pattern against the Singapore Dollar on May 24. The patterns trend lines have been confirmed two times. At the moment, the currency exchange rate has bounced off the upper trend line at 1.3552, and it is moving down at 1.3502. However, on the way down to the lower
After falling 300 pips since mid-May, the Euro still remains bearish relative to the Swiss Franc. The pair has recently broken through a major support line that has been guiding the price north for the last seven months, and this further reinforces the negative bias. However, while the near-term outlook is strongly bearish, we should note that EUR/CHF is closing
USD/ZAR is well-positioned for a few-day rally. The pair has been forming a bullish channel for the past two weeks, and now it is right at the lower bound of the pattern, meaning there is a high probability of a rebound from 15.20 and through the two-day falling resistance line at 15.27. The target is a cluster of resistances
The US Dollar is in a triangle pattern against the Turkish Lira. At the moment, the pair is trading at 2.9322, which is above and close to the pattern's lower trend line. As the currency exchange rate still has not broken out of the pattern, a break out of the pattern downwards is still possible. The rate is still struggling
The US Dollar is in an interesting channel up pattern against the Danish Krona. According to the pattern, the Greenback is set to continue appreciating against the Krona. However, this channel up pattern is only viable on a smaller scale, as the currency pair is in a downward trend on a larger scale. This contradiction between the two of them
GBP/NZD disregarded the major demand area around 2.03, and the price keeps falling within the descending channel. Both the pattern and the majority of technical indicators imply that the rate will confirm resistance at 2.0220 and then will extend the sell-off from 2.20 down to 1.9630. However, we should note that the upside risks are currently increased, mainly because
The bias towards AUD/USD is strongly negative. For one, currency pair is currently forming a descending channel, and at the moment the price is trading right at the upper bound of the pattern. In addition, the rate has just broken through the 200-hour SMA, and the near-term technical indicators are mostly pointing south. Moreover, the Australian Dollar is heavily overbought—72%
The New Zealand Dollar entered a channel up pattern against the Canadian Dollar on May 24 on the four hour chart.

At the moment, the currency exchange rate is at 1.4414, and it is moving south to the patterns lower trend line, which is located at 1.4300. The pair is facing one support on its
At this very moment the Euro is bullish, as the currency pair is recovering after confirming the lower bound of the emerging channel. The rally should soon end near 120.60 yen and give way for a sell-off. Meanwhile, the longer-term risks are noticeably skewed to the upside. The first potential reversal point is at 118.70/50, created by the monthly S3,
AUD/SGD is currently forming a bullish channel, and the pattern suggests a rebound from 0.9985. However, we do not expect the lower bound of the channel to hold on for long, considering that the present recovery from 0.9870 is of correctional nature—the Aussie is in a retracement after the Apr 26—May 26 decline at the moment. At the same time,
The Canadian Dollar has been depreciating against the Japanese Yen in a channel down pattern on the hourly chart since May 24. At the moment, the currency exchange rate is at 83.05 and will likely continue to move downwards. The depreciation is confirmed by not only the channel down pattern, but also the fact that the pair just got out
