Reason for Strategy
The EUR/USD dropped below point C on yesterday's pattern, so that trade no longer is valid.  The pair is still sitting on the stop of the broken bearish channel on the 8hr Chart.  The really odd part about the pair is the shape of the candles on the Weekly Chart.  It is rare you go almost a full month with four candles that have so little "body".

The bullish channel on the GBP/USD 1hr Chart has broken.  The pair rose back up, but is still below the channel.  The move up is forming an interesting candle on the Weekly Chart.  It would be interesting to see what would happen if the pair rose to the bottom of the channel on the Weekly Chart next week.

The only pattern to draw is the bullish Gartley forming on the Daily Chart.  We have not fully posted it yet for several reasons: strong long term bearish channel, trade will take multiple days to complete, and long bars would have to be present for the pattern to complete soon.  Therefore, we will keep it on the radar for now, but we will not post the trade yet.

The USD/CHF still has not made a decisive move within the bearish channel on the 2hr Chart.  The pair has been mainly sideways for the past month.  Hopefully a new pattern forms next week within the bearish channel on the 2hr Chart.  At this point, however, we will stay on the sidelines.

The USD/CAD has made yet another new low (barely) after recently breaking out of the bearish channel on the 4hr Chart.  The pair also continues to test support at the top of the broken bearish channel.  This support was lined up with 78.6% of XA on the 8hr Chart , but now there has been a fairly clear drop below this level.  At this point we still don't know if this will be a small pause or if this will crate major support, but this is the area we watch.

The AUD/USD bullish channel on the 1hr Chart has broken, so that channel didn't last long.  It appears for the time being that 61.8% of XA is currently providing some resistance, as is the bottom of the broken channel.  Other than that, this pair isn't providing much information.  We will simply watch for new patterns to form in the coming week.

NZD/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell NZD/USD at 0.7141. stop at 0.7205. Profit target at 0.7045.
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?Entry occurs just above 38.2% of X3A and 50% of X2A. Double top.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley pattern is forming on the NZD/USD 4hr Chart.  There are three potential candidates for point X that all line up at the same basic level.  This trade would also form a possible double top.  Although the pair recently came close to falling below C, it didn't breach that point.  Therefore this pattern is still good to go.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 0.6840 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 0.7205 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 20 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches 0.7015, the trade is also invalidated.
