EUR/AUD 1H Chart: Channel Up
Comment: EUR/AUD found a reliable support at 1.38 that pushed the pair higher, after the Europe’s shared currency plummeted at the beginning of September. In the later part of the up-trend the pair started to form a bullish channel.
At the moment, the pair is strengthening towards the upper trend-line of the pattern around 1.46 mark. Since this is a reversal pattern then the break-out is more likely to be to the down-side, thus after reaching the major level at 1.46 the pair might drop lower. The SWFX market participants also favour the bearish scenario, as 63.37% of them are short on the pair. Meanwhile, the technical studies are neutral.
USD/SEK 4H Chart: Rising Wedge
Comment: The pair has been on a up-trend already since March, when it dipped below 6.40 level. However, more recently at the beginning of August USD/SEK started to form a rising wedge pattern.
Lately, the pair has been hovering around the upper boundary of the pattern, thus putting a pressure on it. Moreover, since the currency pair is starting to enter relatively narrow trading range a break-out could be expected. An overwhelming majority (70.68%) of the SWFX traders think that the pair already is overbought and a further advance is not likely. Thus, movements around the weekly R2 at 7.2385 could be critical and if its not breached then the 7.12 level becomes the target.
