Reason for Strategy
We have redrawn the bearish trend line to form a bearish channel.  This new channel fits the price action better than the channel from last week.  As long as the EUR/USD continues to drop without a retracement, we will have to stay on the sidelines.

Reason for Strategy
The GBP/USD continues to fall and has broken the bottom of the bearish channel.  We have also now seen resistance at that previous level of support.  This is leading to a possible bullish butterfly on the Daily Chart.  However, we are not posting it yet because it should take a week or two to complete.  If it completes faster than that, then we will buy at the next support level below the traditional butterfly entry.

USD/JPY (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/JPY at 90.17. Stop at 90.47. Profit target at 89.72.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?No pattern present - 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. Trade would enter one pip away from 78.6% of AB on the Weekly Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley pattern is forming on the USD/JPY 30min Chart.  The pair has been in a long term downtrend for a while, and we would also enter at almost the exact 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of AB.  That ratio was originally support, but old support often can become new resistance.  The pair has moved sideways for a while, so be cautious of a rapid move up that could indicate long bars.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 88.75 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 90.47 would stop the trade out. Additional 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 0.8960, the trade is also invalidated.

The pair has broken up out of the ascending triangle on the USD/CHF 8hr Chart.  Also, although the levels of resistance are farther apart than we like, there is a bearish Gartley that has completed on the Weekly Chart.  We will not post this trade at this point, but it is worth watching.

The USD/CAD saw support at the broken bearish trend line and has shot up.  We have drawn a bullish channel on the 8hr Chart to reflect the current price action as well.  We are close to retesting the top of the bullish channel, as well as the significant high at point X on the 8hr Chart.  So far the resistance has held, and we will continue to watch the pair's behavior in the coming week.
