EUR/USD: Daily
First up is this position trade setup on EUR/USD. After making a run back to the 1.3500 handle last month, the pair has dropped a couple hundred pips the past few days. It is now sitting right smack on a rising trend line, with yesterday’s candle even forming a spinning top. If you’re brave enough, you can buy now at market and set a stop below the trend line. However, if you’re a cool cat and wanna wait for more confirmation, there’s nothing wrong with that as well.
NZD/USD: 4-hour
Ha! So much for the support line I drew up yesterday on NZD/USD! It blew up like a Kanye West single as price just melted through .8270. Now that Stochastic is deep in oversold territory, don’t be surprised if we see a small retracement on this pair. Make sure you keep tabs on the .8270 area, as it may just served as a support-turned-resistance point!
GBP/USD: 1-hour
A fan of breakouts? Then here’s a setup for you! After recovering nicely yesterday, Cable is now stuck in consolidation mode and has formed a nice bullish flag. Normally, this is seen as a bullish pattern but there’s definitely potential for it to break in either direction. Look out for some marubozu candles, as this could be a sign that the pair is headed back to highs around 1.5950 or back down low to 1.5800.
