Reason for Strategy
We have drawn an ABCD pattern
on the 4hr Chart that could converge with the bottom of the newly drawn
bearish channel. The ABCD would also complete near the bottom of the
bullish channel on the Daily Chart. We have not set up a trade yet,
but we could see some support near the circles areas on each chart.

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.

USD/CHF (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/CHF at 1.0238. Stop at 1.0283. Profit targets at 1.0171, 1.0119.
| What is the trend? | Down |
| What is this pattern? | Bearish 3-Drive - See all chart patterns |
| Why is this significant? | Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong resistance @ point 3. |
| What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis? | Bearish trend line on the Weekly Chart. |
Reason for Strategy
A bearish 3 drives patterns is forming on the 2hr Chart. As long time
readers will see, this is basically a bearish butterfly with one extra
component. This allows us to measure our profit targets a little
differently, and gives us some more time for the pattern to work
without hurting our risk:reward ratio. Today there is another ABCD pattern forming with the C3 leg. The pattern also would enter
near a bearish trend line on the Weekly Chart.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0110 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.0283 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
A bearish Gartley pattern is forming on the USD/CAD 4hr Chart. We have made CD 127.2% of AB and there have been long bars in CD suggesting that we made the right call so far. 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 AUD/USD dropped down before entering our pattern from yesterday. Therefore, we have drawn a new bearish channel on the 1hr Chart below. At this point we will watch for new patterns in the context with the shorter term bearish channel or at the bottom of the channel on the Weekly Chart.

Reason for Strategy
The NZD/USD has been tough to deal with since the large gap from two weekends ago. There is not a whole lot of symmetry here and this is
a fairly weak bullish channel. To make matters worse, the pair has dropped below the bottom of the channel. We will likely stay away
from this one for a while because of the extreme gap.
