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 has been broken, but the break is somewhat minor at this point.  Next week should give us a better idea of where this pair is headed.

Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish channel on the USD/JPY after the pair dropped down before entering the bearish pattern from two days ago.  There is a potential bullish butterfly that is near completion, but I don't feel comfortable posting it because it nearly entered and then bounced up to 38.2% of that potential CD.  Therefore, we will watch for new patterns to develop within the context of the bearish 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.  There is another ABCD pattern forming with the C3 leg as well.  The pattern also would enter near a bearish trend line on the Weekly Chart.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0127 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.

USD/CAD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/CAD at 1.0702. Stop at 1.0758. Profit targets at 1.0627, 1.0560.
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 has completed 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 has also entered near the bearish trend line on the Daily Chart.  We have slightly altered the profit targets because the pair reached a point a little higher than we estimated after entering.  Also, the trade can still be entered at 1.0702 or above until the trade is either stopped out or hits T1 (1.0627).
Trade Invalidation
The trade would be stopped out at 1.0758.

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.  However, this has covered the gap, so next week we will likely be able to resume trading this pair.
