EUR/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Wait until a new pattern emerges.
| What is the trend? | Neutral |
| What is this pattern? | No pattern present - See all chart patterns |
| 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 EUR/USD has continued its range bound movement that has been going
on for over a month. The formation on the Weekly Chart continues to
maintain its unique shape. At this point there is still no pattern to
trade though, so we must remain on the sidelines.

GBP/USD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell GBP/USD at 1.5284. Stop at 1.5372. Profit target at 1.5151.
| 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? | Multiple Fibonacci retracements on the Daily Chart |
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley pattern is forming on the GBP/USD 4hr Chart below. The pattern has great price symmetry, although it is too early to determine time symmetry. There are also three other candidates for point X. There is a downtrend on the Daily Chart, but the chart would be too cluttered if we drew it in.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.4850 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.5372 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 20 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches 1.5115, the trade is also invalidated.

Reason for Strategy
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.

Reason for Strategy
The USD/CHF has dropped since yesterday, and our bearish trade idea is now invalid. It is a shame because that was a nice looking setup. Anyway, we will still watch for a pattern to form within the bearish channel on the 4hr Chart.

Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish channel on the USD/CAD 1hr Chart below. The channel is
relatively narrow, so we will likely watch for a breakout rather
than a pattern within the channel. The pair is now testing previous low at point X on the 8hr chart, so it will be interesting to see how thing progress over the next day.

A bullish channel has formed on the AUD/USD 1hr Chart. The pair has
continued to rise past 61.8% of XA on the Daily Chart. However, we

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 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.
