The rise in US government bond yields (when 10-year yields went as high as 1.68%) appears to be having a positive effect on the Greenback as I look forward to a bearish momentum in the coming week(s). With lines drawn by connecting the lower highs and lower lows of price with parallel trendlines, It is obvious that price has been caught within a Channel in a downward trend since December 2020 as the new year started with what looks the beginning of a reversal pattern and it doesn't appear to change unless we experience a significant Breakout of Trendline.
Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Breakdown | Supply & Demand | Channel | Reversal pattern
Observation: i. Buyers completely lost grip of the $1.2000 level in early March 2021 resulting in a Breakdown that tested Channel the third time.
ii. A couple of rejection of the $1.2000 level after the Breakout (double rejection on the chart) reveals the selling pressure at this juncture.
iii. The resulting line drawn over pivot high (represented on the chart as Pivot I & II) reveals the prevailing direction of price action since it hit peak @ @1.23500.
iii. As I look forward to a possible Pivot III, I have identified the $1.2100/1.19500 area to be a new area to look out for selling opportunity in the coming week(s).
iv. A word of caution: Should price decide to make a significant Breakout of Channel/Trendline to the upside @ $1.21000, set-up shall be disregarded for a rally with retest expectations... trade consciously :)!
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 350 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 6 to 10days
