Another double top pattern formed by the Australian Dollar cross is worth examining today. The trajectory of AUD/JPY is very similar to AUD/USD moves we described earlier-the Australian Dollar started to gain versus the Yen in mid-March and then peaked at a one-year high of 96.06 early April. Now the pair is on the brink of falling beneath the 50-hour
Starting from mid-March the Australian Dollar has been outperforming the Swiss Franc. Since then the currency pair has covered more than three figures and looks to be in a good position to extend the recent gain. One of the reasons to be bullish on AUD/CHF is the fact that it has just touched the up-trend support line, and this implies
After a prolonged lull that was observed during last year's November and December, NZD/CAD decoupled from the long-term moving average and commenced a recovery. Since then the currency pair has been forming a bullish channel. Recently, however, the New Zealand Dollar has been undergoing a downward correction. Still, the sell-off should soon come to an end, being that the exchange
The Australian Dollar started to appreciate against the U.S currency on March 20, when the pair embarked upon formation of the double top pattern. About one week later, the pair peaked twice near a one-year high of 0.9305 and commenced a decline towards the neck-line at 0.9218. Currently, AUD/USD is vacillating between the 50-hour SMA at 0.9251 and the pattern's neck-line
During the month ended March 13, the U.S. Dollar was losing ground against the Danish Krone, but in mid-March, the pair entered a bullish formation, rising wedge, that acted as a helping hand aiding the pair to recover some of the previous losses. However, the up-trend seems to have come to an end as USD/DKK plummeted below the lower boundary
A 238-bar long bullish channel formed by USD/SEK originated at a six-month low of 6.3257 and took the instrument to one-month high of 6.5170 in the very end of March. However, now the pair is on the brink of an accelerating depreciation since USD/SEK has recently broke out of the upward sloping corridor and even the 200-hour SMA sitting
Having attained a three-month high of 1.2794, the U.S. Dollar reversed its trend against its Singapore's peer; the depreciation pushed the pair into a 192-bar long descending triangle pattern that sent USD/SGD to 1.2514, a four-month low, in the last trading sessions of March. Meanwhile, the recent low provoked a rise of the pair that managed not only to jump above
Following a precipitous two-month rally USD/RUB peaked at 36.72 and since then has been consistently trading within the boundaries of the downward-sloping channel. Right now the currency pair is moving away from the upper trend-line towards the lower edge of the corridor at 34.74. This level is likely to provide enough support to initiate an upward correction, as suggested by
As GBP/AUD proved to be unable to advance beyond 1.8830 early March, it started forming a bearish channel. However, lately the currency pair has been undergoing a bullish correction after bouncing off the lower boundary of the pattern. Still, the overall bias towards the Sterling is rather negative, especially considering that at the moment the currency pair is closing in
Since mid-March, the Euro has been losing ground against most of its counterparts and the Polish Zloty was not an exception. After EUR/PLN touched a six-week high of 4.2506 on March 13, the pair started a retreat that eventually led to a formation of the channel down pattern. At the moment, the pair is trading slightly below its 50-hour SMA meandering
The direction of another Euro cross, EUR/NZD, also demonstrates the single currency's weakness. After the commencement of the bearish correction on March 12, the pair started to shape a downward-sloping tunnel, which sent it to a one-year low of 1.5772 hit in the last trading sessions of March. The beginning of April brought some relief, with the Euro paring loses
A stab to a five-year high of 1.1279 provoked a decline of the U.S. Dollar against the neighbouring country's currency. The drop was halted only at a three-week low of 1.1002, the lowest mark of the 98-bar long double bottom pattern. Now the pair is gradually nearing the neck-line at 1.1078 and may reach it before long given absence of any
A jump to a two-year high of 1.3966 seems to have exhausted the potential of the most traded currency pair. After a rise to this high, EUR/USD entered a bearish formation, falling wedge, that despite having average quality has high magnitude and is over 300-bar long. Currently, the pair is locked between 50-and 200-hour SMAs, with the 200-hour SMA at 1.3785
Initially, USD/SEK appeared to be trading in a bullish channel. However, as it turns out in a longer-term perspective, there is a strong case for the rising wedge to emerge. This would pose a significant risk for the latest rally (developing since mid-March), as the formation usually portends a reversal.The near-term downside risks are also substantial, being that right now
Since late January EUR/CAD has been consistently trading within the boundaries of the bullish channel. The pattern assumes resistance at 1.5650 and support at 1.5147; the latter level has just been confirmed by the market.Now the currency pair is heading towards 1.5291, which consists of the weekly pivot point and 200-period SMA and needs to be overcome to open a
Last time we were looking at HKD/JPY, it was forming a channel up. However, after a bullish run during November and December, every consecutive high was lower than its predecessor. Nevertheless, the currency pair still retains a bullish potential, being that it is well-supported by 13. There the horizontal line implied by the descending triangle merges with various studies, including
Judging by the last 200 hours, NZD/CAD has been forming a symmetrical triangle lately. However, there is a decent amount of blank space the price has not filled. This decreases the quality and reliability of the pattern. Still, there is a high probability that the support at 0.9570 and the resistance at 0.9617 will have a notable influence on development
There is a good chance for a bullish channel to emerge on the hourly chart of GBP/JPY. And even though at the moment the length of the potential up-trend lines is fairly short, as it does not exceed 50 bars, both boundaries of the pattern have been respected by the market already on several occasions.Accordingly, the sell-off of the British
The kiwi has received a strong bullish bias from New Zealand's fundamentals. On the back of positive data the NZD/USD has moved closer to its historically highest level at 0.8840. However, before reaching this level, the pair will have to penetrate the upper trend line of the channel up, which is located at 0.8731. While MACD is suggesting the market
A 180-bar long channel down was formed by CHF/JPY on a 1H chart. After a steep decline on February 13, the pair stabilized somehow, however, later continued its depreciation. This Friday the pair penetrated the lower trend line, however, bulls managed to push the pair back to pattern's boundaries and above the weekly S1 and daily PP. Nevertheless, technical indicators
Although at first there were good reasons to believe that AUD/CHF is going to continue respecting two parallel rising trend-line, eventually the rally turned out to be unsustainable. Still, the pattern may be used to estimate potential targets after a break-out. The first one is likely to be the weekly R2 level at 0.8148, but the exchange rate could drop
Already for more than 200 hours the Australian Dollar has been strengthening relative to the Japanese Yen. This has led to emergence of a high-quality bullish channel. And apart from the pattern implying further appreciation of the Aussie, most of the four-hour technical indicators and as many as 64% of traders are supporting extension of the current rally.However, the up-move
Starting from Mar 18 USD/SEK has been in an up-trend, which later on developed into an upward-sloping channel. And even though on Mar 20 the currency pair did escape the boundaries of the pattern for a brief moment, eventually the break-out proved to be false and the price continued to respect the parallel rising trend-lines thereafter. Consequently, the bias towards
There is a bullish channel emerging on the hourly chart of AUD/NZD, as the Aussie has been generally outperforming its New Zealand counterpart for the past 150 hours. According to the pattern, the currency pair should be supported by 1.0649 (rising resistance line and 200- hour SMA) and then head towards 1.0778, where it is supposed to meet the upper
