Potential Strategy
Sell EUR/USD at 1.4571. Stop at 1.4621. Profit targets at 1.4496, 1.4439.
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?38.2% of ZY on the 8hr Chart
Reason for Strategy
A bearish butterfly pattern is forming on the EUR/USD 1hr Chart.  This pattern has excellent price symmetry, however it is still close to point C.  Therefore, it has a long way to rise before entering and we have to be weary of possible invalidation scenarios.  At this point, though, the trade set up looks good.  The trade would also enter almost exactly at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of YZ on the 8hr Chart.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.4330 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.4621 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 12 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

Yesterday we drew a bullish channel on the USD/JPY 2hr Chart.  However, we have also no risen to the top of the bearish channel on the Weekly Chart.  It appears that the longer term channel has won out, because the pair has seen resistance and dropped below the bullish channel on the 4hr Chart.  We will watch for new patterns to form, as well as resistance at previous support of the broken channel.

The USD/CAD trade from last week is invalidated because the pair dropped down before entering the trade.  There isn't much to watch on this pair at this point, but there is a possible point of long term support around 1.0200.  Notice there is an ABCD pattern that would complete there, 161.8% of XA on the 8hr Chart, and the previous low on the Daily Chart (point F).
