Even though wages do not have an apex point where both trend lines converge, they also represent a great opportunity for traders to make substantial profits in a short period of time. The trading range on GBP/CAD is narrowing rapidly and soon the pair will be forced to break either the upper of the lower trend line. In this particular
A rare triple bottom pattern was formed by CAD/JPY on the last day of 2013. After crossing pattern's resistance on January 23, the pair began moving sideways, fluctuating in a 320-pip move. Nevertheless, on March 6 bulls pushed the pair above the upper trend line, while just recently the pair refreshed this year's low. At the moment of writing the
Two months ago GBP/NZD made an attempt to rally, but the advancement was halted at 2.0437 and the pair came under selling pressure. And even though the currency paired tried to stabilise near 1.97, the bears continued to push the price lower; and the decline may be classified as a bearish channel. This will be confirmed if the Sterling manages
As CHF/JPY has failed to cross the 200-hour SMA earlier this week, the Swiss Franc started to slide. However, at the same time the trading range was narrowing, which in turn has led to emergence of a potential falling wedge. Right now the pattern implies support provided by 114.84 and resistance provided by 115.30, which is currently reinforced by the
Perhaps it is too early to claim that GBP/AUD is trading in a bearish channel, but there is a good chance for this become true. In order to confirm this assumption GBP/AUD needs to recover in the nearest future from the support at 1.7857 up to 1.8147, where in turn the hypothetical down-trend resistance line merges with the 200-hour SMA.
Since early March the single European currency has been outperforming the Norwegian Krone, hinting at a possibility that EUR/CAD could be trading within the boundaries of the bullish channel. However, while the lower trend-line did prove to be important for the market, the upper trend-line remains a wild card, having only a few confirmations during the last 300 hours. But
We are more or less convinced that the lower up-trend line (in green) is a reliable support, whereas there are concerns with respect to the upper boundary (in red) of the potential bullish channel. Accordingly, while there is a good chance that the New Zealand Dollar is going to leave the vicinity of the weekly pivot point at 0.8561, there
Since May 7, when GBP/USD was trading in proximity to 1.68, the Great Britain Pound has been generally ceding ground relative to the U.S. Dollar. As a result, there is a downward-sloping channel emerging on the hourly chart of GBP/USD that implies further extension of the dip.Given that recently the currency pair has completed a bullish correction, the Sterling is
During the last 100 hours the Australian Dollar has been generally outperforming the Swiss Franc, which resulted in emergence of an upward-sloping channel. This implies the support and resistance areas at 0.8086 and 0.8148 respectively. However, the latter level is currently being tested and it needs to prevent additional appreciation of the Aussie in order to confirm validity of the
If we analyse the last 180 bars on the four-hour chart of EUR/CAD, we may come to a conclusion that the currency pair is currently forming a bullish channel. Given that this supposition is true, the Euro should turn around before hitting the long-term moving average, namely at the up-trend support line at 1.5353, which is presently reinforced by the
As EUR/NZD proved to be unable to advance beyond the resistance at 1.6673 late February, it started to decline. Eventually, the currency couple formed a downward-sloping channel, since it was consistently respecting two parallel falling trend-lines. However, the upper edge of the pattern still appears to be unreliable, but the fact that it is strengthened by the 200-period SMA increases
EUR/SGD commenced a robust recovery early February, when it bottomed out at 1.71. Later on the rally developed into a bullish channel, which is now more than 200 bars long. Right now the currency pair is testing the lower boundary of the pattern at 1.7530, which needs to withstand selling pressure in order for the outlook to remain positive, then
The single currency has been appreciating against the Sterling since February 17, when the pair hit 0.8158. The pair performed a 240-pip rally, however, bulls are still not strong enough to move above weekly R1 at 0.8401. Therefore, it can be considered as a key level for long traders in the nearest future. Aggregate technical indicators, however, are sending ‘buy'
All kinds of triangles are highly attractive for traders, as all they have to do is to wait for a breakout. On March 20 bulls already made an attempt to penetrate pattern's resistance, however, that was only a throwback. Nonetheless, the outlook is bullish, keeping in mind the strength of the U.S. Dollar, a bullish throwback and ‘buy' signals from
A very steep but relatively short channel up pattern was shaped by AUD/USD on the one-hour chart. The rally aided the pair to add more than 150 pips in less than a week; AUD/USD peaked at a four-month high of 0.9159 on March 24. Having reached this high, the currency pair failed to prolong the run of gains and retreated
After trading near a five-year high of 1.6824 during more than a month ended on March, GBP/USD commenced to pare gains and on March 13 the pair entered a bearish corridor that sent it to more a one-month low of 1.6460. Now the pair is vacillating close to the 50-hour SMA at 1.6490 and may trade sideways in the foreseeable future
A slump to a two-week low of 101.20 provoked a sharp rally of the U.S. Dollar versus the Japan's currency. The following moves of the pair were developing in the labyrinth of a double top pattern of average magnitude and quality. Currently, the pair is struggling with the downside pressure in an attempt to consolidate above the short-term SMA
The ascending triangle pattern formed by EUR/CHF is around 218-bar long but is not likely to be prolonged in the hours to come as recently the pair has breached the lower limit of the formation. Given the proximity of the apex as well as moderately bearish market sentiment-circa 53% of all orders at the SWFX are short- the
Another triangle was formed by EUR/SEK on February 12 when the pair refused moving above important psychological level of 9.00. When having a look at the historic performance, we see that the pair has been experiencing difficulties around the 200-period SMA, where it stuck right now. Therefore, a move above it will be a bullish signal, while a dip
All kinds of triangles are highly attractive for traders, as when trend lines converge the price is highly volatile. Hence, traders can make substantial profit in a short period of time. EUR/PLN is not trading in boundaries of the triangle anymore, however, we have not received a confirmation from the trading volume, hence, it can be a formation of the
NZD/CAD has been in the up-trend for quite some time, but it seems to be respecting new rising lines. And while the upper one creates potential selling area at 0.988, the currency pair is testing the lower one at 0.9562, which needs to withstand the current selling pressure and direct the rate north.Conversely, if it gives in instead, the kiwi
Initiation of the rising broadening wedge on the four-hour chart of NZD/USD dates back to three weeks ago, when the currency pair resumed advancement after a consolidation. Since then volatility of the exchange rate, represented by the trading range, has been increasing, but the price has still been respecting the up-trend lines. In fact, it is currently testing the lower
A surge that was initiated in the beginning of 2013's second quarter has eventually transformed into a rising wedge. Given the nature of the pattern, this means the possibility of a reversal is currently increasing. If the up-trend support line at 1.5136 fails to trigger strong buying, EUR/AUD will be expected to stage a precipitous decline with the first target
EUR/TRY failed to extend the early March rally and instead started forming a bearish channel, which is already more than 150 bars long. Right now the pair is moving towards the upper falling trend-line of the pattern (reinforced by the 200-hour SMA), meaning the latest bullish tendency is highly likely to change in the nearest future and give way for
