We are now trading at the top of a channel drawn with the same slope as the support that we had been focusing on throughout the 2016 rebound and into 2017 (rising trendline in black on the chart above) drawn from the first higher low off the rebound from the February low. While we remain Bullish due to fundamental and technical factors, there is a rising wedge pattern developing that should warrant attention. The rising wedge pattern has ...
In our last article, we looked at the potential for a new higher-low in EUR/JPY after the European Central Bank extended QE. After this announcement, the Euro was offered-hard across-the-board, but as we noted, the ‘bigger picture’ trend in EUR/JPY has been quite bullish, and traders would likely want to use that short-term weakness to position-in to longer-term bullish strategies.

On Monday, Poloz was speaking at the House of Commons when he mentioned that they would sit on the uncertain (i.e. bad) data and wouldn’t act for 18-months as they digested how the two-way economy was performing.

Daily -Focus remains towards an estimated channel top above 99.00 although I’d be aware of horizontal levels at 98.33/58 as near term roadblocks (NOW). These horizontal levels are defined by the August 2015 and March 2016 highs. There is one interesting tidbit worth mentioning regarding the EUR/USD and DXY relationship. Non-confirmations between these 2 markets (EUR/USD accounts for 57% of DXY) warn of ‘traps’ or false breakouts and non-confirmation ...
