Reason for Strategy
The EUR/USD has shot up before completing the ABCD patterns we were watching last week, so now we are back to looking at only channels.  We will watch for a new pattern to form within the context of either channel.

We have drawn a bullish channel on the GBP/USD 4hr Chart below.  The channel has been broken, but the break is somewhat minor at this point.  I would not be surprised to see the pair face resistance at the bottom of the broken channel if the pair rises to that point.

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.

The USD/CHF dropped before entering our bearish pattern next week.  Therefore, that pattern has been invalidated, and we have drawn a bullish channel on the 2hr Chart below.  This channel has almost perfect symmetry at this point and could provide a high probability opportunity later this week.

AUD/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell AUD/USD at 0.9588. Stop at 0.9709. Profit targets at 0.9406, 0.9275.
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?None
Reason for Strategy
A fairly long term bearish butterfly pattern is forming on the AUD/USD 8hr Chart below.  This trade could take a while to complete, but it is the best pattern to watch on the AUD/USD at this time.  This would also go against the long term trend.  However, keep in mind this would be a brief move down in the context of the Weekly Chart bullish channel, not a long term trend reversal.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 0.9050 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 0.9709 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 30 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

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
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 the fairly weak bullish channel has been broken.  However, this move down has covered the gap, so we will likely be able to resume trading this pair soon.
