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
After a sharp advance at the beginning of month the Euro started to slide towards 1.40 level; however, the bearish channel began to form on 25th of August. At the moment EUR/AUD is trading closer and closer to the major level at 1.40, which was approached on July 2013 for the last time. Nonetheless, the technical indicators are mostly mixed,
Although the market has been distinctly bearish since last year's summer, the support at 0.78 managed to initiate a strong recovery that possesses characteristics of a bullish channel. Accordingly, the base case scenario is continuation of a rally. This is also supported by a majority of the daily and weekly technical indicators. However, the price is closing in on the upper
USD/SGD proved to be unable to rally beyond 1.2528 on Aug 21, and the bears used this opportunity to take control of the market and subsequently forced the bulls to retreat. As a result, the pair has formed a channel down pattern, meaning that the Greenback is likely to continue losing value relative to its Singapore counterpart in the foreseeable
EUR/SGD topped out near 1.77 in March, and since then have been in a distinct down-trend. However, there are signs that the bulls are soon going to regain control of the market, being that the currency pair seems to have formed a falling wedge pattern that in turn implies a reversal. But this will be confirmed only in case the
EUR/USD started to form a Broadening Falling Wedge pattern on 13th of August, when the pair reached the 1.34 mark. According to the daily and weekly technical studies the decline will continue, as most of the indicators are bearish. The next target level is around the 1.31 mark, from where the pair should reverse some of the losses. Nonetheless, the
Due to a fairly strong support at 0.9239 AUD/USD managed to commence a recovery, after a retreat in the middle of August. Recently the pair touched the upper trend-line at 0.9375 and since then it has been trading around the monthly R1 at 0.9350. Although, the 1H technical indicators are pointing downwards, thus the currency pair might depreciate closer to
Today the Euro has eventually managed to breach the lower boundary of the descending triangle pattern. Statistics imply that 64% of all break-outs happen to the downside and we are inclined to believe it, especially taking into account the mentioned downside confirmation of the pattern. Despite the current trading level of 1.5725 (daily S1) inside the triangle boundaries, we assume
During the past couple of days, the CAD/HKD pair is trading strongly to the upside after forming the double bottom pattern. Recently the Loonie has risen above the top point between two valleys of the pattern and is hovering around the four-hour R1 level at 7.1382 at the moment. We expect the CAD/HKD currency pair to go further to the
