EUR/USD Flag Pattern
We're following the EUR/USD on the hourly, looking at this flag pattern to continue for now, we'd be interested sellers at around the 1.2742 handle, with our target at around the 1.2573 mark. The current momentum is bullish as indicated by the stochastic pointing upwards, so we'd be looking for a momentum reversal to back up our trading plan.

EUR/JPY supply zone

the pair seems to be on its way towards our signified sell zone, we'd be looking at the area between 137.585-137.785 as our opportunity to short it, aiming towards the 136.500 area.

GBP/USD Resistance Zone

The GBP/USD is shooting upwards with a massive hourly green candle. We've got the 1.6205 to 1.622 area as our zone to short the pair. Current momentum is looking extremely bullish of course, however, in the larger scheme of things we don't see the GBP/USD as a bullish pair going forward, we're neutral about this pair and thus we'd be looking for shorter term range plays and well defined support and resistance zones such as the current one.

USD/CAD long setup
The pair is trading in our buying zone, so there are two main options:
(1) go long at current price, with big r&r.
(2) wait for confirmation from stochastic crossing back from oversold coupled with a break of the descending trend-line
We favor the more conservative 2nd alternative, and so we're following further developments in the near future.

AUD/USD at Sell Zone

The pair's trading at our predefined sell area, we'd be looking for momentum to turn bearish as indicated by stochastics, as well as a break of the ascending trend-line. Our initial profit target will be at around the 0.88 handle.

EUR/AUD at buy zone
The pair's trading in a well defined support zone, we're looking for stochastic to cross back from oversold territory, plus a break of the descending trend-line for trade entry.

EUR/GBP Long Term Analysis
The EUR/GBP is in the business of forming a triangle/flag pattern on the weekly chart. We're interested in following the developments of this pair for both fundamental as well as technical reasons.
Fundamentally, there's a significant divergence between the state of the economy in the EU and in the UK. The EU is in 0 growth mode, with strong deflationary tendencies and an ever increasing call for monetary easing. Meanwhile, the UK seems to be a mixed data case, with some more positive as well as some more negative news. There's still a lot of analysts who forecast the UK will be the 1st of the major economics to hike rates in the next couple of years.
So, fundamentally our bias for the pair has to be to the downside.
Technically, the pair is forming a long term flag/triangle pattern, which is generally a continuation pattern, meaning we should expect another leg up sometime in the upcoming future. We have marked our levels as such:
weekly close above 0.855 would make us bullish, aiming towards the round trip to the 0.9600 level.
Weekly close below 0.7700 would make us bearish, aiming towards the 0.700 level.
In general, we'd be looking for some confluence between fundamental, technical and momentum, hopefully generating a long term trade for us on the pair.

GBP/USD

We're neutral about the pair in fundamental terms, however, the pair is approaching our signified buying zone for a short term turn in the market. We're looking for confluence between price action, stochastic cross-back from oversold, 50% retracement support, 200 SMA support, and a break of the descending trend-line as final confirmation.

Gold Crashing into Support

Gold has spiked down with a massive candle towards the support area. We're following price action at current levels, looking for stochastic cross-back coupled with a break and close of the descending trend-line before going long.

AUD/NZD 4 hour possible trend reversal

We're following this pair for a possibility of a significant momentum shift to the downside. We're looking at a confluence of significant long term resistance zone, coupled with bearish divergence on the RSI. We're looking for technical confirmation in the form of a breakout, breaking the ascending price trend-line or the 50 area RSI support zone should signal a short for us, aiming to hold for an extended move downwards, which in reality is reasonable since the fundamentals don't seem to support the pair breaking much higher.

GBP/AUD Possible Bullish Breakout
The GBP/AUD has been in consolidation mode for a long while now. We're following this pair at current levels to see if we get a bullish breakout of the flag pattern it has been forming. We'd be looking for a bullish breakout to entail the 200 SMA holding as support, coupled with the 57 RSI level. A break higher could eventually send this pair all the way up to the 1.900 levels. Of course, if we do end up being long on the pair we'll stay up to date with news developments with regards to both economies, most notably following the announcements of the two central banks, currently it appears the UK is more likely to hike rates sooner.

NZD/CAD Long Term Analysis
The NZD/CAD held the 61.8% fib and is now looking to be building up some more bullish momentum. We're interested in buying the pair on a break of the 50 SMA and the RSI descending trend-line/wedge formation. Our initial target will be the previous highs at around 0.9500. Fundamentally, this pair is often a battle that has more to do with the real economies in question rather than simply the price status of commodities worldwide, which is often the case when you match commodity pairs with other currencies. Therefore, we'd be keeping an eye out for employment, GDP and domestic inflation for both economies.

Dollar Index- Long Term Analysis
Looking at the monthly chart, we have broken through the wedge resistance zone in September backed by a hawkish Fed. The wedge has been since retested in October and has held up to push the dollar higher, backed by an even more hawkish Fed. Therefore, all sings point upwards, but momentum is looking overbought in the short term, therefore, we'd be expecting a slight correction by the end of the year, followed by a new dollar rally in Q1 of 2015. Needles to say, this kind of technical plan is absolutely dependent on future Fed statements, so we'd be monitoring these closely.

AUD/USD Shorting Plan
The AUD/USD has broken down recently, completing the triangle formation in the process. At the moment, we're looking at a bullish correction back to recent levels, we're very interested sellers at the point of technical confluence between the previous supportive trend-line (to act now as resistance), the 50%-61.8% retracement level from the recent down move, the 200 SMA to act as resistance, and finally the 50 RSI to act as resistance. Therefore, we're looking to short the pair at around the 0.876 handle, with a stop just above the 61.8% at around 0.8815.

AUD/NZD head&shoulders plan
We're following the AUD/NZD on the 4 hourly with the idea of seeing a right shoulder forming, generating a short for us at a confluence point between the left shoulder resistance line, the 50% retracement from the move down, the 50 SMA which has been acting as support and resistance prior, and finally the 50 RSI line. Notice the significant divergence between RSI and price prior to the recent move downwards, indicating the pair's momentum is looking very bearish indeed.

Gold Probable Bounce Into Shorting Zone
Gold is continuing to break down on the back of the hawkish Fed announcement. We're not going to short it though after such a significant decline; instead, we'd be looking for it to bounce a little, with an ABCD pattern in completion, an oversold slow stochastic, and an oversold RSI, a small correction on the daily chart is probable. We're interested sellers at the point of confluence between previous s&r zone, 38.2-50% fib, and the 50 SMA which has been acting as resistance recently.

EUR/GBP momentum shift
The EUR/GBP has been in a sustained down-trend for a long time now. With a clear directional bias to the downside, we're looking for technical formations such as the current one. We have a clear impulsive move to the downside with big selling candles and almost no buying ones, followed by a more corrective move back to the 50% retracement level. Additionaly, we're looking at overbought levels on the slow stochastic. We're looking for confirmation in the form of a breakdown of the ascending price trend-line, the RSI trend-line and the 50 SMA.

FTSE Pulling Back to Resistance Zone
The equity markets have been rallying, however, the FTSE has been significantly less bullish than other markets, this coupled with the technical confluence of trend line s$r, overbought slow stochastic, 61.8% fib, and 50 SMA to act as ressitance are enough to make us interested sellers at the 6600 levels. This kind of trade may also serve as a hedge for people who hold some long positions on equities around the world.

GBP/NZD long entry point
GBP/NZD is in a well defined bull-trend. We're looking to join the direction at the a point of confluence between the ascending trend-line and the 61.8% fib, a break of the descending trend-line will be our confirmation for the trade being valid, if the descending trend-line holds we'd be looking to exit at or around the break-even point.
