Here are some of the comdoll forex setups I’m looking at this week:
AUD/USD: Daily
Aussie bulls seem ready for one last charge this year, defending the bottom of its long-term ascending channel so far. If this keeps up, price could make it back up to the top of the channel eventually or at least until the mid-channel area of interest.
Stochastic is pointing up to show that buyers are on top of their game, but the oscillator is nearing overbought levels to reflect exhaustion. In that case, another test of the channel bottom is still a possibility!
USD/CAD: 1-hour
The mid-channel area of interest held like a boss for USD/CAD, pushing price back up for another test of resistance near the 1.2900 major psychological mark.
This ceiling could keep gains in check as stochastic is already indicating overbought conditions and might be ready to head back down. If sellers take over, the pair could slide back to the channel support around the 1.2650 minor psychological mark.
NZD/USD: 1-hour
Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a tiny double top I’m seeing? In any case, NZD/USD is having trouble climbing past the top of its ascending channel, probably gearing up for a pullback before heading further north.
Stochastic is already indicating oversold conditions, though, which means that sellers need a break and could let buyers take over. A move past the .7100 mark could be enough to signal an upside break and mark the start of a steeper ascent for this pair.
Cheers,
