by: Radar January 13, 2010

EUR/USD Wedge Support

by: Radar January 13, 2010

The uptrend on the 240 minute EUR/USD has been rejected at the 200sma that has come down as a dynamic resistance level.  The selling pressure at the 200sma and the support of the wedge uptrend line has
brought this pair to a major decision level.  The Initial Trend is low and indicates that the uptrend is stalling and becoming [...]

by: Radar January 12, 2010

The intraday downtrend across the 30 and 60 minute charts has been slowing as Asia approaches.  The Monday session for the USD/CHF showed the franc gaining on the dollar throughout the session due in no small part to an inactive Swiss National Bank.  The pause now offers a chance to consider what the next move for the pair will [...]

GBP/JPY Intraday Trend Follow

by: Radar January 5, 2010

The strong intraday downtrend on the GBP/JPY appears to be taking a pause and possibly making a small correction.  This would set up the Continuation Channel Down pattern for a swing (trend follow) short.
Remember that corrections can be defined as bounces within a trending pattern so this means that the downtrend line resistance (R) of the channel is both [...]

by: Radar January 5, 2010

The intraday EUR/JPY has broken the uptrend line support (S) of the Continuation Triangle on the short tern 15 minute time frame.  This breakdown reflects a near term psychology and this should not be
