With the help of the demand located at 8.80 EUR/SEK managed to commence a recovery earlier this year. Because of the upward impetus the currency pair formed a bullish channel. Accordingly, the price is expected to rebound from the lower boundary of the pattern at 9.00 and then set course towards the upper trend-line at 9.25. However, at the moment
A 141-bar long double bottom pattern formed by EUR/TRY started late April when the pair hit a three-week high of 2.9862. At the moment, EUR/TRY is sitting at the 50-bar SMA at 2.8640 that acts as a formidable resistance. The short-term SMA has been impenetrable for the last 20 hours and if the pair eventually manages to jump above this
Since early May, the Australian Dollar has been on the rise against the kiwi and on May 22 the pair started to shape a rising wedge pattern. The formation is relatively short, only 76-bar long, and it is not become much longer given that AUD/NZD now is on the verge of breaching the upper boundary. Market players also believe
A drop to a two-month low of 0.8704 in the first days of May gave USD/CHF an impulse for an advance. The pair managed to sustain the rally even after it reached a three-month high of 0.8982 that lies on the upper trend-line of the 80-bar long channel up pattern. In the foreseeable future, the currency couple is likely to prolong
Having attained a two-year high of 1.3995 early May, the most traded currency couple swung to losses and several days later entered a bearish channel that sent it to a three-month low of 1.3611. Now EUR/USD is trading slightly below the 50-hour SMA at 1.3640 that prevents the pair from a recovery after a plunge to the recent low. Considering the
After a massive sell-off that started in the last days of April USD/ZAR made an attempt to recover, but turned out to be unsuccessful once it reached the resistance at 10.4775. As a result, there is a double bottom pattern emerging on the hourly chart. However, in order for the figure to realise its full bullish potential, i.e. charge at
The pattern was initiated back in mid-May, when the currency pair was stopped by the selling pressure just above 0.9450. Since then the kiwi has been generally underperforming relative to the loonie, thereby forming a bearish channel. Accordingly, while we may expect a recovery in the near-term due to the proximity of the spot to the lower trend-line, the overall
A sharp rise to a three-week high of 1.4875 late May was a starting point of a descending triangle formed by EUR/AUD. Now the pair is locked in a narrow range, less than 20 pips wide, and is likely to reach the apex later in the day. Taking into account the SWFX numbers, we may expect the pair to exit
A 77-bar long descending triangle pattern shaped by USD/TRY originated at a one-month high of 2.1194. The pattern is relatively short and the pair has almost approached the apex, meaning that the recent jump above the upper trend-line may lead to an accelerating advance. If this comes true, USD/TRY may try to move above several important resistance levels at 2.0880/4
Several hours earlier, the EUR/CHF breached the neck-line at 1.2215 of a 69-bar long triple bottom pattern it started on May 21. However, a rally that usually follows a bullish breakout is constrained by the 200-hour SMA that represents a formidable resistance supported also by daily R1 and four-hour R1 at 1.2217/8. Notwithstanding this, the pair may appear strong enough
In the very end of 2013, EUR/NOK attained a five-year high of 8.5487 that resulted in a long-lasting weakness. Being a subject to a constant selling pressure, EUR/NOK has formed a multiple bearish patterns and one of them-channel down- we will examine today. The formation originated late April and took the pair to a six-month low of 8.1002 in mid-May. Now
Following a one and a half figure long sell-off, USD/SGD entered a consolidation phase, which in turn appears to be an ascending triangle. The pattern implies strong resistance at 1.2540, but at the same time there is supposed to be a rising support trend-line at 1.2521, reinforced by the 200-period SMA and weekly pivot point.Judging by the technical indicators, a
During the last five days the currency pair has been recovering and at the same time forming a bullish channel. Accordingly, the outlook should be positive, especially considering that most of the technical indicators on the hourly and four-hour time-frames are pointing upwards.However, there are also arguments against continuation of the rally. Since the beginning of April CAD/JPY has been
There is a major support level for EUR/NOK currency pair. It is located around 8.10 and it is represented by a recent low. When having a look at the longer-term perspective, the pair has been struggling to move above or below this level for several times in the recent months, meaning it is a major pivot level for EUR/NOK. Despite
After a slight weakness in the cable during February and March, the pair resumed its rally, and is trying to hit 1.70-mark once again. At the moment of writing, the cable was changing hands at 1.6838, just 7 pips above the 200-period SMA. A move below the SMA will clear the way for a weekly S1 and pattern's support around
As EUR/NZD failed to rise above 1.70 last year, the next five months the market was explicitly bearish. Still, during that time the currency pair managed to form a downward channel. Accordingly, it is expected that the Euro is going to respect the resistance at 1.61 (down-trend line and monthly PP) and head south. Eventually the sell-off should extend to
Since the beginning of May, we have observed an elevated volatility of AUD/CHF that added over 270 pips in 10 days ended when the instrument attained a one-year high of 0.8394. After that, the pair saw an accelerating decline that was a part of the triangle pattern it entered on May 18. At the moment, the currency couple is on the
The New Zealand Dollar commenced its retreat against the U.S. currency only after it approached a three-year high of 0.8778 early May. The decline has been performed inside the 70-bar long channel down pattern that sent NZD/USD to a one-month low of 0.8530. Now the pair is sitting at the recent low but it is likely to bounce off this level
EUR/CHF will reach the apex of the 112-bar long ascending triangle pattern in a day, meaning that a breakout is looming. The pair has been rallying for the last two hours and if the trend persists, the pair may surpass the upper limit of the formation before long. SWFX traders also somehow share the view that the upcoming breakout may
Although EUR/NZD has been vacillating between the limits of a wide bearish channel since early May, now the pair seems to be in strong enough to break these chains. Since May 21, the instrument has not moved far from the upper boundary of the channel and now EUR/CHF is trading only 10 pips lower than the corridor's trend-line. Supporting the
For a prolonged period of time USD/ZAR was bullish, but it topped out near 11.40 late January and then came under strong selling pressure. As a result, there is a potentially high-quality bearish channel emerging on the four-hour chart.This implies the U.S. Dollar will be capped at 10.44, where the weekly R1 merges with the down-trend resistance line. Additional supply
It seems that the sell-off that was initiated back in August of 2012 has finally come to an end and CAD/CHF is now ready to start erasing the losses. It was the support at 0.78 that did not let the loonie to depreciate further and turned the currency pair around, which is now forming a bullish channel. Accordingly, it is
USD/NOK is on the verge of a massive sell-off that is confirmed by various factors. Firstly, the pair is trading slightly below the lower-trend line of the 421-bar long ascending triangle pattern at a time when the instrument almost approached the apex. Secondly, the likelihood of a bearish exit is supported by traders who bet on depreciation of the pair
Since mid-May, AUD/USD has been trapped by the bearish tunnel that now is 111-bar long. At the moment, the pair is located between its 50-hour SMA at 0.9237 and the upper limit of the formation at 0.9241 and given that market players are not univocal-the proportion of short to long orders on the SWFX is near 1:1, the pair
