EUR/USD 1H Chart: Broadening Rising Wedge
Comment: After a sharp decline on the 3rd of October, EUR/USD found a support at the major level at 1.25. Since then the pair has formed a broadening rising wedge pattern.
At the moment, the currency pair is trading around the lower boundary of the pattern. If the lower trend-line will hold the pair’s bears back then a repeated test of the 1.28 level is possible. However, there are certainly down-side risks. The hourly and daily technical studies are pointing downwards, therefore increasing the bearish risks. At the same time the traders’ sentiment is more or less neutral with 53.29% of them expecting a rebound. For bullish traders the monthly PP and weekly R2 is the target.
AUD/NZD 1H Chart: Double Top
Comment: At the second part of September AUD/NZD reached the lowest trading level since July at 1.0920. However, at these levels the pair received a bullish impetus that pushed the pair towards the 1.13 level, forming a double top pattern.
Currently, the pair is hovering slightly above the pattern’s neckline at 1.1121. Since this is a bearish pattern in the base scenario, we should see a drop below the neckline towards the 1.10 level. However, the market participants disagree with this argument, as 69.42% of them are bullish on the pair. Very important gauge will be around the weekly S1 and daily S2. If these supports holds then we might see a bullish movements in the near-term.
