USD/NOK 1H Chart: Rising Wedge
Comment: The pair has been on a sideways trend for most of November; however, now at the second part of the month the pair has started to form a rising wedge pattern.
Currently, the pair is facing the lower trend-line, as bears are trying to drag the pair below the level. With the mixed technical levels this might be the case. The bigger reason for bearish break-out to take place is the fact that an overwhelming majority of the SWFX market participants are the pair’s bears, namely 71.28% of them. Therefore, we think that USD/NOK will decline towards the weekly S1 and daily S2 at 6.7047/35, these are the levels where the pattern started to form.
AUD/SGD 4H Chart: Double Bottom
Comment: After nearing the 1.1800 level at September, the pair started to decline sharply. However, the support around the weekly S2 at 1.1028 halted the drop and helped to form a double bottom pattern.
Nonetheless, at the moment the AUD/SGD cross is trying to form triple bottom pattern, after a failure to break above the pattern’s neckline around the 1.14 mark. The 4H and weekly technical indicators suggest that the pair is poised for a retreat, thus making a triple bottom formations a likely scenario. The majority of the SWFX traders’ are also sceptical on the currency pair’s advance as 65.20% of them have opened short positions on the pair.
