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
On the first day of September the pair received a bullish impetus and formed a rising wedge pattern, after trading sideways from 20th of August. At the moment the pair is vacillating near the lower boundary of the formation; although, a bearish break-out seems unlikely, as all of the technical indicators are pointing to the north, suggesting a continuation of
Similar to the AUD/NZD currency pair we discussed yesterday, the Dollar/Loonie cross formed the double top pattern with a number of common features. After the drop below the valley between two peaks, the pair returned to growth and approached the level of 200-period SMA at 1.0889. Taking into account the positive sentiment of market participants (64%) and the general positive
The Cable has been in a long decline since the second week on July, mostly showing the strength of the U.S. currency, rather than weakness of the Pound. After coming near the lower boundary of the channel, the pair started trading sideways for last couple of candles; however, it is moving in the direction of the upper trend-line at the
Since the currency pair found a strong support level around the 170.50 level on 15th of August it has formed a Broadening Raising Wedge pattern. Although, at the moment the pair is hovering near the lower boundary of the pattern and despite the 4H technicals being to the downside a bearish break-out seems unlikely. Moreover, the pair is supported by
After being on a sideways trend since the end of July to the middle of August the pair received a bullish impetus around 1.0948 on 13th of August. This is evidenced by AUD/NZD forming a bullish channel. Also the weekly and monthly technical studies are strongly bullish, strengthening the case of further appreciation. In the near-term; however, a slide towards
The EUR/SGD currency pair has been depreciating since the second week of August, when the channel down pattern was formed. Since then the downward-sloping channel covered 368 bars and the Euro is still trading to the south inside the boundaries of the present pattern. After a recent touch of the upper boundary, the cross started hovering in the direction of
After falling below the valley between two peaks of the pattern, the pair regained its strength and started to advance fast. Just recently the Aussie passed an important resistance level at 1.1196/1.1201, represented by daily and weekly R1 and approached the daily R2 at 1.1217. We assume the currency cross to continue going to the north by breaching the mentioned
The market has been bearish since mid-July, when the Pound was trading at $1.72. Now the price is standing at 1.6450, and, given that GBP/USD has formed a downward channel, the sell-off should extend even further South, potentially down to the 2014 low at 1.6250, as suggested by the four-hour and daily studies.But in the short run we may see
Since there have already been two distinct tests of the support around 1.36 after a precipitous decline from 1.38, there is a good possibility CHF/SGD formed a double bottom pattern with a neck-line at 1.3670—the Aug 28 high. Accordingly, if the latter level is breached, the price will start targeting the Aug 13 high at 1.38. The bullish outlook is
The single currency has just breached the upper boundary of the descending triangle pattern, meaning that the break-out may take place soon. By crossing the upper trend-line, the pair has also breached an important resistance level at 9.1952, represented by monthly PP/200-period SMA. Technical indicators and market participants support the idea of upward break-out, as former ones send confident positive
The EUR/USD pair has been hovering to the south during the past 286 hours, as it has successfully formed the bearish channel on an hourly chart. The present trading level is located at 1.3114, just below the very considerable resistance level of 1.3417/27, represented by four-hour R2 and R3, daily pivot point and 50-hour SMA. At the same time, despite
GBP/USD remains bearish since the second week of July and is likely to stay that way for foreseeable future, given that it is trading between two parallel downward-sloping lines. At the moment, the currency pair is hovering above the major level at 1.6500, which has not been breached since March 2014. That, of course, makes this level significant. And if
The pair failed to reach the 4.24 level at the end of August, as it entered consolidation phase , being supported around the 4.2050 mark. Even though the pair is trading near the triangle's apex the technical indicators are not giving clear signals, as they are neutral. Although, an overwhelming majority (70.75%) of the traders expect the pair to decline.
During last several days, the Dollar/Loonie pair is trading in a quite narrow trading range of 1.0830-1.0880; however, taking into account the present channel down pattern, we can observe that the pair covered full space from lower to upper trade line of the pattern inside this range. The Greenback has recently breached the upper trend-line at 1.0880, meaning that the
Despite crossing the upper trend-line of pattern on August 22, the pair managed to return into the boundaries of the channel down. At the moment the Euro is trading downwards parallel to boundaries of the channel. We suggest the pair to trade at least in the present trend or go even faster down. Longer-term technical indicators (four-hour) and 64% of
USD/ZAR entered a symmetrical triangle in the first part of August and now is on verge of a breakout. Taking into account that the pair has been trading around the upper trend-line for most of the time lately the break-out could be bullish. Although, since there is weekly and monthly PPs at 10.664/676 ahead and 64.28% of the traders are
