The Nzdusd is not a pair that I trade much, however, it certainly deserve some attention for its recent performance. The monthly chart below presents an image that reminds me of a very similar setup on cable’s weekly timeframe. In breaching 1.6000, the Gbpusd invalidated what could have been the right shoulder of a head and shoulders reversal pattern. In the case of Nzdusd, the long-term up trendline Read more »
USDJPY Trading Plan
The Jpy pairs have come a long way since the incredible drop that took place weeks ago, following the Japan disaster. The Usdjpy in particular breached significant resistance to close above the pennant range resistance line on the weekly chart at the 86.60 level. In my opinion, there is now real potential for significant follow Read more »
GBPUSD: 1.5800 Beckoning
It is still early to say that Gbpusd weekly support at 1.5990 is breached. However, signs of increased weakness are becoming evident. For instance, a look at the 4hr chart will reveal a strong bearish close below 1.5990 for the first time since the weekly right shoulder was breached back in early February. We are now seeing a tentative retest Read more »
Gbpchf: Where Do We Go From Here?
Gbpchf fell to 1.4220 weekly support, thereby completing a daily head and shoulders pattern. The 1.4220 level is of significance, as it represents support from a weekly trading channel that forms when the major support points at 1.7594 and 1.5118 are connected (marked in with red line on wkly chart below). Although the weekly chart now bears a long wick, there Read more »
Potential Correction For Gbpusd
Since making a new high at the test of weekly down trendline at 1.6343, Gbpusd has pulled back to its 4-hour trendline support at 1.6140s, which has so far been holding. However, the 4hr chart (shown below) has what appears to be a head and left shoulder formation, resulting from its reaction to the weekly resistance. There is a shelf of resistance at 1.6250/60 which has the potential to encourage the formation of a right shoulder for the bearish reversal. The labeled chart explains what I am thinking. If price were to test Read more »
AUDUSD TRADING STRATEGIES
The Audusd currency pair has been ranging inside a daily pennant for several weeks. The chart below also shows some mid-range support at parity level (1.0000) Based on my usual method of trading pennants, I require the triangle to narrow down towards the tip of the range, where a resulting breakout would be higher Read more »
EURUSD: Pre-NFP Outlook
I cannot give a prediction of the Non-Farm Payrolls data due out today. I cannot even presume to interpret the market reaction to the news. I have come to realize that there seems to be more emotion in the market, particularly post-data, that it might be futile for me to place too much emphasis on trying to decipher the details Read more »
GBPUSD: A Tempting Resistance??
Gbpusd has been able to maintain the bullish momentum that resulted from a test of, and bounce off its daily support line at the 1.6070 area. This momentum pushed it to 1.6328, thereby exceeding the previous weekly high at 1.6299. Of importance is the fact that the weekly trendline is being tested at current level (1.6300…see chart below). This resistance can, in no way be considered minor, however, I Read more »
Eurjpy Technical Analysis And Trade Setup
Eurjpy is once again backing away from a critical resistance level at 114.00. This seemingly impenetrable resistance is the result of a support that was breached on the weekly chart. As we know, once a support level is breached, it turns into resistance when retested. This area is labeled on the chart below. The weekly chart also boasts a prominent Read more »
Eurusd: Defiant As Always
The Eurusd has settled into a descending channel on the daily timeframe, and the 4-hour is in the process of a bullish breakout above that channel resistance at 1.3690. There was a full bullish close above this line, which Read more »
