All new trading strategies, market analysis, and extensive market coverage! We would love to hear your feedback!In line with our proposed weekly technical scenario, the pair has moved bullishly after touching the suggested entry point around 1.2750 on Monday. Actually, it succeeded in surpassing the pivotal resistance -turned into support- at 1.2825 and thus, the path is clear towards the psychological level of 1.3000. The negativity on Stochastic may cause a retest of 1.2825 before moving higher once again; noting that a break below 1.2700 zones may activate a potential negative divergence. To summarize this, the bullishness remains favored so long as the pair stabilizes above 1.2700 region.
The trading range for today is among key support at 1.2685 and key resistance at 1.3000.
The general trend over short term basis is to the downside targeting 1.1865 as far as areas of 1.3550 remain intact.

GBP/USD
The pair continued to rally upwards to achieve a positive daily closing above 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the entire downside wave from 1.6300 to 1.5265 as seen on the provided daily chart. Thereby, the recent bullish actions are still in progress mainly targeting the minor correction level of 88.6% at 1.6180; however, we believe that the overbought condition on Stochastic should cause huge fluctuations. To recap, we should use any pullbacks to join bulls towards 1.6180.

USD/CHF
The pair declined once again as we expected and we can see trading stable below 113% of CD leg of the bearish Butterfly Pattern which will likely extend the downside move toward the second extended target at 0.9325 at 127.2% correction as far as stability is below 0.9460. The pair is currently trading below the main support over the short term at 0.9400 and stability below it today will change the short term trend.

USD /CAD
The pair is approaching 0.9715 which is the 113% correction of the bullish wave that started from 0.9799 and topped at 1.0446. Stochastic entered oversold areas yet the Linear Regression Indicators remain negative and this technical conflict is seen as the pair approaches the main support of the descending channel. Therefore, we prefer to remain neutral for now, not due to an expected upside move but for the increased risk-to-reward ratio for now.
The trading range for today is among the key support at 0.9585 and key resistance at 0.9870.
The short term trend is expected to the downside with daily closing below 1.0125 targeting areas of 0.9400.

Recommendation Based on the charts and explanations above, we remain neutral for now awaiting more confirmations for the next move
AUD/USD
The pair acquired more upside targets powered by the bullish Bat Pattern. The stability today above the first extended target for the pattern at 1.0460 the 78.6% correction of CD leg supports the extension of the upside move toward the top C passing through 88.6% correction of the mentioned leg then toward extended targets. The breach of the line connecting top A & C makes us expect the targets to extend for now. We do not rule out heavy fluctuations and downside corrections due to the overbought signs on Stochastic, yet trading above 1.0400 is considered positive.

NZD/USD
The pair managed to breach a critical level from where it rushed to the upside sharply completing the bullish continuation Flag Pattern. Stochastic is trading in overbought areas which might cause heavy fluctuations and downside corrections. The Linear Regression Indicators are positive and MACD is trading above zero alongside the breach of the main resistance for the medium term downside wave and also the breach of the continuation Flag Pattern’s resistance. Therefore we have strong reasons to support our expectations for another upside move.
