Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish channel on the EUR/USD 2hr Chart after the sideways channel was broken.  Of course, the pair quickly broke through this channel as well.  There is not a whole lot of symmetry with the USD at this point.  We will now simply watch for new patterns to form.

USD/JPY (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/JPY at 92.27. Stop at 92.78. Profit targets at 91.49, 90.92.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?Bearish Gartley - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong resistance @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?If RSI rises above 70.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley pattern/double top is forming on the USD/JPY 2hr Chart.  Within this pattern is second possible point "X" that creates further convergence.  We are in a long term bearish channel that provides the appropriate context for this trade as well.  The trade set up probably would not complete for a few days, but this could be a nice trade if it completes as drawn.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 89.60 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 92.78 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. Also, if the pattern comes within 20 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bullish channel on the USD/CHF 2hr Chart after the sideways channel was broken.  Like most other USD based pairs, the channel broke, and we don't have much to look at.  I think we could be a pivotal moment in this pair because we also are hovering near the long term 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of XA.

The AUD/USD trade setups from earlier this week have both been invalidated.  Therefore we have drawn a bearish channel.  This new channel is fairly weak at this point, but is stronger than yesterday.  If we see a strong move down, I will feel better about this channel.

The NZD/USD has risen above our trade setup from earlier this week, so we have taken that pattern away.  We now have a possible bullish channel forming.  If the pair drops just right, and ABCD pattern could complete at the bottom of the potential bearish channel.  We won't set up a trade idea yet, but we may if the pair drops over the next few days of trading.
