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
Buy GBP/USD at 1.6484. Stop at 1.6413. Profit targets at 1.6592, 1.6670.
What is the trend?Up
What is this pattern?Bullish Gartley - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong support @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?Bullish trend line on 8hr Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bullish Gartley pattern is forming on the GBP/USD 2hr Chart.  This is an unorthodox pattern because we extended CD to 127.2% of AB due to long bars in the CD leg.  When CD is extended to this level, it converges very nicely with multiple Fibonacci ratios.  I don't always recommend this, but my experience tells me this is a high probability trade.  The trade would also enter near the bullish trend line on the 8hr Chart assuming the pattern completes as drawn.
Trade Invalidation
A move above 1.6622 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move below 1.6413 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.

Reason for Strategy
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.  This is a good example of why time symmetry is so important.

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.
