Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish channel on the 2hr Chart that has provide fairly accurate support and resistance at this point.  The pair also has broken the Daily Chart channel.  Both of these charts point to a move farther down, but we will still stay on the sidelines until a new pattern emerges.

GBP/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Buy GBP/USD at 1.6118. Stop at 1.5982. Profit targets at 1.6322, 1.6474.
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?None
Reason for Strategy
A fairly long term bullish Gartley pattern is developing on the GBP/USD 8hr Chart below.  The pair is hovering above the entry, and could enter any day now.  This is a solid opportunity.
Trade Invalidation
A move above 1.6375 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move below 1.5982 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.

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 channel on Weekly Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley/double top is forming on the USD/JPY 2hr Chart.  This is a good situation because it allows us to go short within the context of the bearish channel on the Weekly Chart.  It may take a couple of days for the pattern to rise to the entry, but the set up is still worth posting at this point.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 89.00 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 91.29 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.

What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?No trade
Reason for Strategy
The USD/CHF has continued to rise above the channel we had drawn on the 8hr Chart.  Again, we did not set up this potential trade because it reached point D and retraced to 38.2% of CD before we could enter the trade.  It also appears that the pair is bullish on the Weekly Chart because we have broken above the bears trend line and the 78.6% of XA level is finally providing some strong support.

Reason for Strategy
A bearish butterfly pattern is forming on the USD/CAD 2hr Chart.  This pattern would complete at the top of the bullish channel on the 2hr Chart.  The patterns also takes place within the the CD leg of a large ABCD pattern.  Finally the trade would complete just above the bearish trend line on the Daily Chart.  Overall, this trade setup has a lot of convergence at this sell entry.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0540 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.0777 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
The AUD/USD fell before entering the bearish pattern we posted yesterday on the 8hr Chart.  The pair hasn't formed any new patterns that are near completing, however, so we can't really do anything here.  It is important to note that the pair broke below the bullish channel on the Weekly Chart again, which could indicate some weakness on the horizon.

Reason for Strategy
The pair broke out of the top of the channel on the 2hr Chart, saw support at previous resistance, and shot straight up.  This is not unusual behavior when a trend line breaks out.  Since there is no pattern forming at this point, we will simply continue to watch for new patterns to emerge within the context of either of our charts.

What is social bookmarking?

Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
