Potential Strategy
Buy EUR/USD at 1.4713. Stop at 1.4655. Profit targets at 1.4820, 1.4895.
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 channel on Daily Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bullish Gartley pattern is forming on the EUR/USD 2hr Chart. This pattern is slightly different then the one we posted last Friday because Point C is higher.  To make it work, we also have to assume that CD will have some long bars and move to 127.2% of AB.  The pattern still has a long way to go until entry, but it is still worth drawing at this point.  The pair could quickly be invalidated, in which case we will redraw the pattern next week.
Trade Invalidation
A move above 1.4940 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move below 1.4655 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 15 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

Reason for Strategy
The Gartley pattern we posted last Friday has been invalidated because the pair rose above point A.  Therefore, we have drawn a new bullish channel.  The channel is clean so far, but there have not been many points of contact.  Still, we will watch for new patterns to form within the the bullish channel.

We have drawn an near bearish channel on the 2hr Chart and will watch for new patterns to form within its context.  We have pierced the top of the channel, but we will still leave the channel there for now.  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.

USD/CAD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/CAD at 1.0702. Stop at 1.0746. Profit targets at 1.0637, 1.0587.
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?Bearish trend line on the Daily Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley pattern is forming on the USD/CAD 4hr Chart.  There are two candidates for point X, which both provide resistance near the same point.  The trade would also enter near the bearish trend line on the Daily Chart.  The main concern with this setup is that the pair is near point C and could easily invalidate the trade with a small move down.  However, this pattern is still worth tracking at this point.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0497 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.0746 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 NZD/USD has been tough to deal with since the large gap from last weekend's open.  There is not a whole lot of symmetry here and this is a fairly weak bullish channel.  We will likely stay away from this one for a while because of the extreme gap.
