Why is this significant?Broken bullish trend line could provide new resistance.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?N/A
Reason for Strategy
We stuck with both the same entry (1.2985) and the same stop (1.3220) while updating this trade idea.  The bullish trend line on the 4hr Chart has provided support, and this may lead to the rally required to enter the trade.  The broken trend line could provide new resistance near 1.2985 if that level is tested in the next 24 hours.  
Trade Invalidation
The trade is invalidated if the trade does not enter by 6pm eastern time tomorrow (9/9/2010).

Reason for Strategy
The bearish trend line broke out, but unfortunately there were only two points of resistance instead of the three we prefer before watching for a potential break out.  The pair rose too much, so this trade idea is now dead.  Hopefully something actionable will form by tomorrow's report.

Nothing is really happening that I can use for this pair.  However, it is interesting that the wedge on the Daily Chart is still holding on.  There must be a sustained breakout soon, and hopefully we can take some action when that finally happens.

Sell USD/CHF at 1.0169. Stop at 1.0192. Profit target at 1.0126.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?Bearish Gartley - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?There are three levels of resistance lining up at the same basic level (1.0169).
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?Bearish channel on the 4hr Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley with perfect price symmetry is forming on the the USD/CHF 1hr Chart.  It still has to rise quite a bit, but the three levels of resistance all line up perfectly.  The trade would also enter in the context of a bearish channel in the 4hr Chart.
Trade Invalidation
The trade is invalid if the pair falls to 1.0085 before reaching the entry.

This is another example of a pair breaking out of a channel, rising back to the bottom, and seeing new resistance.  Also, it appears we may be forming a range on the Daily Chart.  Lastly, a new bearish trend line is being tested.  We saw some sloppy resistance on the third test, but will will still keep an eye out for another breakout opportunity.

Non Farm Payroll pushed the pair up shortly before entry, but the Gartley pattern still may be providing resistance.  While we won't place a trade based on this, we will continue to watch the results of this pattern's completion until something more useful comes along.

A bearish trend line formed on the NZD/USD 30min Chart, the pair broke out, the pair dropped back to the broken trend line, and then the pair rallied.  We have been talking about this a lot lately, and this is a good example.  It happened this morning so I couldn't update this, but it was a solid setup.  The 5min Chart shows a more detailed imaged of the breakout followed by support at the broken trend line.  Keep in mind the trend line is the same, it is just magnified.

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
