Technical Overview of EUR/USD, USD/JPY, NZD/USD & USD/CHF: 14.08.2018
While break of 1.1510-1.1500 dragged the EURUSD to thirteen-month low, the 200-week SMA, at 1.1355 now, is likely offering an intermediate halt to the pair’s south-run towards the 1.1300-1.1280 horizontal-region. In case the quote refrains to respect the 1.1280 rest-point, the 1.1210 and the 1.1120 might entertain the sellers. Alternatively, the 1.1440-50 may restrict the pair’s immediate advances before highlighting the 1.1500-1.1510 support-turned-resistance. Given the buyers’ ability to surpass 1.1510 barrier, the 1.1565-70 and the 1. ...

Technical Update For EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD & USD/CHF: 07.08.2018
Notwithstanding the break of six-week long symmetrical triangle support, EURUSD pulled itself back from 1.1530 rest-point to confront the support-turned-resistance, at 1.1615 now. If the pair manage to post a daily closing beyond 1.1615, the 1.1645 and the 50-day SMA level of 1.1670 can try challenging the buyers, failing to which could propel prices towards the descending trend-line figure of 1.1730. In case the pair refrains to surpass the 1.1615 hurdle, the BPC (Break-Pullback-Continuation) pattern may reprint 1.1530 on the chart but the 1.1510-1. ...

Technical Outlook For EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY & USD/CHF: 31.07.2018w
Having reversed from 1.1620, the EURUSD crossed the seven-week-old descending trend-line, around 1.1735-40 now, that favors the pair’s further advances in the direction to the 1.1790 and the 1.1810 resistances. Alike EURUSD, the GBPUSD’s up-moves are likely to be questioned by short-term symmetrical triangle resistance, at 1.3180, breaking which the 1.3215-20 and the 1.3290 may mark their presence on the chart. Bank of Japan’s failure to comply with speculations for its monetary policy tightening activated the USDJPY’s U-turn from two-month long ascending trend-line, which in-turn favors brighter chances of the pair’s recovery to 111.90 and then to the 112.15-20 horizontal-region.

3 great setups with the USD
First one is the USDJPY, where we do have an inverse head and shoulders formation and the breakout of the neckline. Broken up trendline was tested as a resistance and price made a shooting star on the daily chart. Now, most probably, we are going to test this area as the closest resistance.

Important CHF Pairs’ Technical Outlook: 25.07.2018
Unless breaking seven-week old ascending trend-line, at 0.9890 now, the USDCHF is less likely to extend its recent pullback towards 0.9850 and the 0.9820 support-levels. Alike USDCHF, the EURCHF’s downside is also capped by the immediate support, herein it is the 1.1595-85 zone, that may trigger the pair’s U-turn towards nearby TL resistance figure of 1.1615. GBPCHF’s recovery from nine-month old ascending trend-line may support the pair to aim for the 1.3125 and the 50-day SMA level of 1.3165 but a downward slanting TL stretched since April can confine its further upside around 1.3210.

Interesting Trading Setups on the Silver and CHF
Silver started this week with a breakout of the lower line of the wedge, which in theory, gave us a strong sell signal. Buyers try to deny that today and they initiate a reversal, which potentially can create us a right shoulder of the inverse head and shoulders formation. On the weekly chart, we do have a shooting star bouncing from the horizontal resistance.

Technical Outlook For EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD & USDCHF: 17.07.2018
Should prices manage to defy the triangle pattern by conquering 1.1770 resistance, the 1.1835-40 horizontal-region may gain buyers’ attention. GBPUSD is another major which recently bounced off the support and is currently rising to confront near-term important resistance. Herein, the 1.3090-1.3100 is crucial support whereas two-month old descending trend-line at 1.3310 acts as resistance.

Reversal on the USDCHF?
One of the most technical setups can be seen on the USDCHF, where Friday ended with a bearish shooting star pattern. The place, where this pattern is present is not random as it is a long-term horizontal resistance (orange). In the smaller time frames, that shooting star is additionally shaped like the head and shoulders formation, which strengtheners the sell signal.

While receding political pressure at Germany helped the EURUSD witness its latest recovery, short-term symmetrical-triangle is likely to confine the pair’s immediate moves. As a result, the 1.1680 can become adjacent resistance for traders to watch, breaking which the 1.1725 may offer intermediate halt prior to fueling the quote towards two-month old descending TL, at 1.1775. In case if the pair continue rising after 1.1775, the 1.1825 and the 1.1850-55 horizontal-region could entertain the Bulls. On the contrary, the 1. ...

Technical Update For EUR/USD, USD/JPY, NZD/USD & USD/CHF: 26.06.2018
Should the pair drop beneath the 1.1640, the 1.1590 and the 1.1510-1.1500 are crucial levels for traders to watch as break of which can drag prices to 61.8% FE level of 1.1415. Given the pair’s ability to surpass the 1.1845 barrier, chances of its rally to 1.1910 & 1.1940 can’t be denied. In addition to the USDJPY’s inability to offer a daily closing below three-month old ascending trend-line, the 50-day SMA level also seems working as a strong support at present, which in-turn favors the pair’s U-turn in direction to the 109.85 and the 110.30 resistances.

In case if the pair continue trading southwards after 1.1440, the 1.1370, the 1.1330 and the 1.1300 may please the Bears. Assuming that the pair reverses from current levels, the 1.1650 and the 1.1730 can act as immediate resistances before highlighting the 1.1835-50 area for one more time. Alike EURUSD, the NZDUSD is also near to important support-zone, namely the 0.6885-80, but break of which might not trigger the pair’s plunge as an upward slanting trend-line, at 0.6860 now, could still challenge the sellers.

In case the quote successfully clears the 0.9960 barrier, the 1.0000 round-figure and the 1.0055 are likely intermediate hurdles that needs to be surpassed in order to meet the 61.8% FE level of 1.0110.

Important CHF Pairs’ Technical Checks: 30.05.2018
Even if immediate descending trend-line restricts the USDCHF’s near-term upside, the pair is yet to conquer more than three-month old upward slanting TL, at 0.9855 now, in order to stretch its latest pullback towards 0.9810 and then to the 0.9785, comprising 50-day SMA. Given the seller’s refrain to respect the 0.9785 mark, the 0.9720 and the 200-day SMA level of 0.9700 can appear on the chart. Should the 0.9855 trend-line number triggers the pair’s U-turn, the 0.9900, the 0.9930 and the 0.9955 are likely adjacent resistances that can be aimed while being long but the 0. ...
