A triangle chart pattern is forming in the USD/CAD. The triangle has a height of 250 pips. This provides a target of the breakout price +/- 250 pips. Based on approximate breakout levels this puts targets at 1.0150 if the breakout occurs to the upside, or 0.9550 if the break occurs to the downside. More…
Could the Dollar Index (DX) go to 60????
| August 18, 2011 | Posted by admin under Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
My brain screams “No way!” With the dollar index already having taken a pounding since mid-2009 is it possible it could continue to sell off? Currently the dollar index trades at 74.35 so a decline to 60 would be another 20% down. I gotta be honest here, it seems unreal, but looking at the this…
AUD/USD descending triangle
| June 24, 2011 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
There is a descending triangle formation in the AUD/USD. Apex is very close to the long-term uptrend. Downward breaks should be traded with caution as primary uptrend support is not far below the current breakout point (false breakout potential). Prefer the upside break in the context of the long-term trend. Target is 500 pips (rounded down from…
EUR/USD could correct to 1.3610…or lower
| June 23, 2011 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
The EUR/USD has consolidated in a triangle formation after a primary advance which began almost exactly one year ago. A downside breakout of the pattern is likely to spur selling of the EUR into the primary trendline support, currently at 1.3610 (will rise over time as the line is upward sloping). The actual pattern has…
EUR/AUD forex chart pattern-Flag formation
| June 19, 2011 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
Within the context of a broader downtrend a flag formation has formed in the EUR/AUD. While a flag is a “continuation pattern” it is wise to wait for the breakout of the pattern to the downside. Currently, a downside breakout will occur at 1.3420. That entry point will increase over time as the line is…

Movement above the high indicates another move higher with a target of 1.4600. This aligns with the January swing high. Movement below 1.3700…
EUR/USD, USD/JPY and EUR/JPY Updates…Beware!
| October 18, 2010 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
EUR/USD has hit all the upside targets, and even surpassed the target area which had a high of 1.400. The pair got as a high as 1.4158 but has now reverted back into our target area which was 1.3800-1.4000 (currently trades at 1.3919). This was the target area because I expected some resistance based on…
EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/JPY
| October 10, 2010 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
The EUR/USD hit the upper end of the profit target (discussed in the last several analyses) at 1.4000. It closed out the week at 1.3935. While the trend remains strongly up at this point, a reversal below 1.3800 would indicate selling interest. A further move below 1.3630 signals a test of primary support at 1.3300.…
Targets in Play-EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, USD/JPY
| October 6, 2010 | Posted by admin under Day Trading Ideas, Forex Technicals, Swing Trading Ideas |
In mid-week trading the EUR/USD has moved right to the center of the target area: 13900. Between here and 1.4000 some resistance is expected. A swift move through 1.4000 could see moves toward 1.4200 heading into the end of the week and early next week as strong buying continues. Support is now at 1.3800 and…
