USD/CHF: BEARS ARE WINNING
09:47 17.08.2017

Recommendation:

SELL 0.9585 SL 0.9630 TP1 0.9510 TP2 0.9475

On the daily chart, USD/CHF failed to overcome resistance at 0.9765. This points at buyer’s weakness. If bears manage to settle above 0.9650 and trigger Gartley pattern, risks of decline towards the lower border of the downtrend channel will increase.



On H1, USD/CHF keeps forming “Widening wedge”. A break of support at 0.9585 will end the process (point 5) will strengthen the odds of a pullback to 78.6% and 88.6% of the last bullish wave.

EUR/USD: BEARS GOING TO TEST CLOSEST SUPPORT
10:36 17.08.2017



There's a "Double Bottom", so the price reached the nearest resistance at 1.1801. In this case, bears are likely going to test the closest support at 1.1727 - 1.1712 in the short term. If we have a pullback from this area, bulls will probably try to achieve the next resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1846.



Bulls found resistance at 1.1784, so the price is consolidating. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the 34 Moving Average soon. If a pullback from this line happens little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement towards another resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1823.

GBP/USD: "TRIPLE BOTTOM" PATTERN
10:39 17.08.2017



We've got a "Triple Bottom" pattern, which has been confirmed. It's likely that bears are going to achieve the closest support at 1.2853 in the short term. However, if a pullback from this level happens, bulls will have a green light to reach the nearest resistance at 1.2832 - 1.2951.



The price is consolidating near the 34 Moving Average. Also, the price faced resistance at 1.2911, so we should keep an eye on the closest support at 1.2853. If we have a pullback from this level, there'll be an opportunity to have a bullish price movement towards the next resistance at 1.2926 - 1.2932

EUR/USD: BEARISH "TWEEZERS"
14:02 17.08.2017

USD/JPY: CONFIRMED BULLISH "HARAMI"
14:08 17.08.2017



We've got a "Tweezers" and a "Hanging Man", which both have been formed on the 89 Moving Average. Therefore, the pair is likely going to test the lower side of the nearest "Window" soon.



There's a bullish "Harami", which has been confirmed, so the price is likely going to test the upper "Window". If a pullback from this level happens afterwards, bears will have a green light to deliver another decline.

[b]EUR/USD: "V-BOTTOM" PATTERN[/NB]
09:56 18.08.2017



There's a "V-Bottom" pattern, so the price reached the 55 Moving Average. In this case, the market is likely going to test the nearest resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1846. If a pullback from this area happens, there'll be an opportunity to have a decline towards the closest support at 1.1638 - 1.1649.



The 34 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so the price is consolidating. It's likely that bears are going to achieve the nearest support at 1.1712 - 1.1703. However, if we have a pullback from these levels, bulls will have a green light to reach another resistance at 1.1757 - 1.1784.

USD/JPY IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION
10:30 18.08.2017

Recommendation:

BUY 110.95 SL 110.40 TP 112.50

On the daily chart, bears managed to lead the pair outside of the triangle. This increases the possibility of pattern AB=CD with the target at 161.8% in case of a successful break below support at 108. On the contrary, the pair’s return inside the triangle will show sellers’ weakness.



On H1, USD/JPY bulls managed to seize the initiative and return the quotes to the upper border of the downtrend channel. Further activation of the inverted “Head and Shoulders” and “Shark” will strengthen the risks of a bearish trend.

GBP/USD: BEARISH "FLAG" PATTERN
10:00 18.08.2017



We've got a bearish "Flag" pattern, so the market is likely going to reach the next support at 1.2830 - 1.2811 in the short term. At the same time, bulls will probably try to achieve the nearest resistance at 1.2892 - 1.2911 afterwards



The price is consolidating near the 34 Moving Average. Also, there's a possible "Flag", so the price is likely going to test the upper side of this pattern. If a pullback from the closest resistance at 1.2911 - 1.2926 happens, there'll be an opportunity to have a decline towards another support at 1.2930 - 1.2811.

EUR/USD: BEARS ARE READY FOR A NEW ATTACK
10:37 18.08.2017

Recommendation:

SELL 128 SL 128.55 TP1 126.90 TP2 125.80

On the daily chart, bears attempted for the second time to test important support at 128. It failed, but sellers don’t give up and hope to develop correction and reach 88.6% target of “Shark” pattern.



On H1, EUR/JPY formed “Head and Shoulders” pattern. A break of the neckline near 128.00 support with simultaneous activation of the AB=CD pattern will create an opportunity for a pullback to the uptrend towards 125.60-125.80.

GBP/USD: UNDER KIJUN’S RESISTANCE
13:17 18.08.2017

Technical levels: support – 1.2840; resistance – 1.2900.

Trade recommendations:

Sell — 1.2900; SL — 1.2920; TP1 — 1.2840; TP2 — 1.2810.
Reason: expanding bearish Ichimoku Cloud with horizontal Senkou Span B; a dead cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, but the lines are horizontal; the prices are under the resistance of Kijun-sen and may continue falling down.
