Reviewing the daily charts of the major pairs today shows some potential trades and some wait and see scenarios.
NZDUSD is in a trading range. It recently came off of support and the lower Bollinger band for a potential move up to resistance which also happens to be the upper Bollinger band.
USDJPY is no longer upward trending and looks to be starting a downward trend. It has gone up the last couple of days but not enough to recover the down day on Friday. It looks to be setting up for a sell trade.
GBPUSD is longer term uptrend if you look at the 50 day moving average. It established a new recent high last week. After a doji candle today, the lows of the day haven’t been reached. Look for opportunities to enter a trend trade during a bullish day.
EURUSD looks to be forming an ascending triangle with resistance around 1.3820. If it breaks through that resistance, there could be about a 500 pip move based on the ascending triangle pattern. While waiting for that pattern to complete, there is still opportunity for a bullish trade up to the resistance. Look for a bounce off the ascending line of the triangle for an entry.
USDCHF is non-trending but recently bounced off the lower Bollinger band and coming out of oversold area for Stochastic & CCI.
The AUDUSD is in a downward trend though has bounced up this week towards the 18 day moving average. This is setting up for a sell trade if you play the trend. Look for a pull-back off the 18 day moving average.
USDCAD has essentially been in an upward trend since the beginning of 2013. It has leveled out now and then for a few weeks before resuming the trend. The most recent leveling ended the first of the year and it resumed the strong upward trend. Look for pull-backs as opportunities to buy.
Beware the US Fed’s policy statement and press conference tomorrow which could cause some short term volatility.
