Since Tuesday the trading range of EUR/SGD has been narrowing, which has lead to emergence of a symmetrical triangle. But today the pair has already broken out of the pattern to the downside, providing us with a good sell opportunity, especially if the Euro retraces back to the up-trend at 1.6330 before resuming the decline, which in the end may
As NZD/CAD has recently proven to be unable to sustain a rally above 0.93, the bears took control of the market. As a result, the currency pair has formed a channel down pattern, which implies further weakness of the Kiwi against its Canadian counterpart in the coming weeks. But NZD/CAD is likely to move lower not only in the long run,
At the beginning of the week the pair failed to consolidate above the major level at 0.83 and fell below this level, meanwhile forming the falling wedge pattern. Currently, the pair is testing the upper trend-line that is slightly below the 0.82 level; although, to our mind a continuation of the pattern is still possible. The hourly and daily
The pair started to form a bearish channel, after it failed to touch the 1.41 mark and currently it is hovering around the monthly S1 at 1.3510. As the pair is trading more or less between the pattern's support and resistance it is clear that the down-trend will be in effect for some time. And even though an overwhelming majority
The ascending triangle pattern, formed by the Pound/Loonie currency pair, has been confirmed to the upside, as now it is nearing the daily R3 level at 1.7891. Today the British currency has already managed to gain more than 140 pips, breaching two strong resistance levels, namely daily R1 and daily R2/200-hour SMA. We consider the upside movement to continue increasing
The Aussie has been declining against Canadian Dollar since Monday of this week, when the channel down pattern was formed. At the moment the currency is moving away from the upper boundary at 1.0060, trading near the daily pivot point around 1.0039. Taking into account the negative sentiment among market participants (59% of all opened positions are short), we expect
After reaching the lowest level since March at 169.36 GBP/JPY started to reverse previous losses by forming a bullish channel. Yesterday (September 10th) the pair tried to penetrate the lower trend-line, which is also represented by 100-period SMA. Although, the attempt was unsuccessful and the pair bounced above the major level at 173. Yet, the technical studies are mixed; therefore,
On 4th of September EUR/NZD dropped below the 1.5600 mark; however, three days later a broadening rising wedge started to form, suggesting that the pair is poised to recover the previous losses. The pair now is sitting slightly above the monthly PP and weekly R1 at 1.5769/62 and may remain there because of these support levels. Meanwhile, the traders' sentiment
Similar to the previously discussed USD/CAD currency cross, the Euro/Danish Krona pair is hovering around the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle pattern at 7.4441. However, a couple of hours ago the single currency has crossed the mentioned level, showing some willingness to start a decline. The idea is shared by SWFX traders, as more than 73% of all opened
The Dollar/Loonie pair has been trading in a relatively young channel up pattern, which was formed in the end of the previous week. Just recently, the Greenback breached the lower boundary of the pattern at 1.0978; however, it managed to recover and is nearing a considerable resistance level in face of daily and four-hour pivot points at 1.0993/90. If this
Since the pair reached the 1.2178 mark at the end of July it has been on a constant down-trend, meanwhile forming a bearish channel. Now EUR/CHF is nearing the upper boundary of the down-trend; therefore, the 100-period SMA at 1.2079 is likely to be tested. However, the technical studies are mixed and none of them are sending clear signals. At
After touching the 0.79 level for the second time this month EUR/GBP started to form Ascending Triangle pattern, later bouncing towards the weekly R1 at 0.8040. At the moment; however, the pair is sliding towards the pattern's support around the major level at 0.80. The majority of the shorter term technical studies are bullish, thus a break-out to the upside
The AUD/CAD currency pair is still trading in boundaries of the rectangle pattern, which was formed in the beginning of July. Despite crossing the upper boundary at 1.0230 a few days ago, the Aussie bounced back and is trading sideways; however, the intention to grow was clearly indicated. The current trading level is located at 1.0164 (Monthly PP and 200-period
The USD/PLN currency cross has been gaining value at accelerated pace since July of this year; however, the current channel up was formed only in the last week of August. At the moment U.S. Dollar is facing the upper boundary of the channel at 3.2640 and trying to breach it, but last two attempts were unsuccessful. In our opinion, the
Since the middle of August, XAU/USD has been tilted downwards and the tendency is likely to preserve in the upcoming trading sessions given that the instrument is trapped by the limits of a bearish formation—falling wedge. Currently the pair is trading around the down-trend's support and weekly S1 at 1,253.14. However, in the foreseeable future, the yellow metal may face
Thanks to the strong support around 92.76 CAD/JPY managed to change the direction of the trend. This is evidenced by the pair forming a bullish channel. At the moment the pair is trading below the 97 mark and it is on its way to approach the pattern's support; however, for now the 100-period SMA and weekly PP at 96.52/48 seems
After a sharp decline in the end of the previous week, the EUR/HKD pair started to trade sideways, consequently forming a narrow double bottom pattern. The pair is still hovering between the pattern's resistance and any of two valleys at 10.0393, moving slightly upwards. The market sentiment, however, suggests that the strong upward movement with a subsequent breach of the
The Aussie/Yen currency cross has formed the present rising wedge pattern almost a month ago. At the moment the pair is trading at the lower trend-line around 98.23, which is also strengthened by the four-hour S1 level. Sentiment on the future development of this currency pair is mixed, being that almost 72% of traders expect the violation of the pattern's
At the beginning of July AUD/CAD dropped below the 1.0000 mark; although, this decline stopped at 0.9939. Starting from there the pair has formed a double top pattern. The pair has reached the top around 1.0227 not only twice but already three times. Therefore, this could be perceived as a triple top pattern, yet it does not change the most
After a period of consolidation in the end of August the pair started to form a bullish channel on 29th of August. At the moment USD/SGD is trading closer to the lower trend-line, thus the trend's confirmation by touching the boundary might be expected. However, the bullish stance is likely to stay in effect, as a slight majority of the
A rebound from a major support at 6.30 and a subsequent breach of a multi-year down-trend this April facilitated bullish activity of the pair. As a result, USD/SEK formed an upward-sloping channel, meaning the U.S. Dollar is likely to keep outperforming the Swedish Krona as long as the lower edge of the pattern remains intact. However, just recently the pair
Very similar to the Gold/Dollar cross, the Kiwi/Greenback currency pair has formed a falling wedge pattern, meaning that two trend-lines of the pattern will converge soon. Just recently the pair has climbed to the upper-trend line and even breached it; however, the 200-hour SMA at 0.8346 pushed the Kiwi back to trade below the mentioned level. At the same time,
During the last trading week the Gold has been generally hovering to the downside, also underlying strength of the U.S. Dollar on the market as a whole. The present trading level is located at 1,268.83, just above the 50-hour SMA, as the pair slid slightly after a sharp jump to the upper boundary near 1,274.00 amid worse-than-expected U.S. jobs data.
After reaching the peak at 0.8838 the pair started to decline and by doing that it formed a falling wedge pattern. Since the beginning of the trend the pair has already lost more than 500 pips; however, there is still no clear indications whether the pair is poised for changes in the current trend. The technical studies are very much
