What is this pattern?No pattern present - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?There is no high probability pattern so we cannot place a trade.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?No trade
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 91.73. Stop at 92.21. Profit targets at 91.01, 90.49.
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
We have redrawn this pattern because the USD/JPY dropped below the original point C.  I actually prefer the way the pattern is shaping up now.  Of course the pair could drop farther and the trade could be called off, but it looks good for now.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 89.55 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 92.21 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 10 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.

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 is forming on the USD/CAD 1hr Chart.  This pattern is somewhat odd because the BC leg is so short in terms of time.  However, the pattern is still valid.  The main concern with this setup is that the CD leg is moving so quickly.  We will definitely want to see a shallower slope up if we are to take this trade next week.  The trade would also enter near the bearish trend line seen on the Daily Chart.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0685 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.0854 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 10 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

The AUD/USD trade setups from earlier this week have both been invalidated.  Therefore we have drawn a bearish channel.  This new channel was fairly weak at this point, and it ended up breaking.  We will simply watch for the next pattern/channel to form.

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.  An ABCD pattern could have completed at the bottom of the potential bearish channel, but that now is impossible because the pair has not moved down.
