Potential Strategy
Wait until a new pattern emerges.
What is the trend?Neutral
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 and has continued to rise.  There is not a whole lot of symmetry with the USD at this point.  We will now simply watch for new patterns to form.

GBP/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell GBP/USD at 1.6768. Stop at 1.6788. Profit targets at 1.6738, 1.6713.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?Bearish Butterfly - 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 short term GBP/USD bearish butterfly is forming on the 5min Chart.  Normally I don't post trades this short term, but the magnitude of the pattern is large enough (AB is nearly 100 pips).  The trade would also enter just above the significant high at 1.6740 on the 8hr Chart.  However, there is a major news announcement at 3:30 am Central Time.  So if the pattern doesn't complete by midnight Central Time, then we would call off the trade to avoid being in it for the news announcement.  I would also likely close the trade if it entered and somehow had not exited by 3:25 am Central Time.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.6687 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.6788 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. If the trade hasn't entered my midnight (central time), don't enter. See the above paragraph for more timing information. Also, if the pattern comes within 8 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

USD/JPY (Swing Forecast)

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.

The USD/CAD has dropped sharply after the weekend, which invalidated the possible trade we set up last week.  We have now drawn a bearish channel on the 2hr Chart.  The AB=CD level that was forming at the bottom of the channel is no longer of interest because we breached the channel before reaching AB=CD in terms of time.

The AUD/USD trade setups from last 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 and rallying.  We will simply watch for the next pattern/channel to form.

The NZD/USD has risen above our trade setup from last week, so we have taken that pattern away.  The pair shot up on the weekend open and we have drawn a bullish channel in that context.  We will likely stay away from this one for a while because of the extreme gap.
