CADCHF: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: CADCHF
Pattern – Continuation
Support – .6502
Resistance – .6540 - .6549
Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at the CADCHF on the daily chart.
Today, we have broken down what looks like a continuation pattern playing out. Looking at price, we can see a retracement that came to a stall point, setting up support in the moving averages that then formed a reversal bar. Today's buying could set a confirmation bar if we see yesterday's high beaten.
We have run over entry ideas and warning signs if sellers break certain levels. If buying continues, we want to see resistance beaten and possibly a test of .6590 on a new trend extension higher.
Good trading.
Understanding Momentum to filter out the Best SetupsIn the video I discuss how I analyse momentum using MACDs and the 5min and 1min charts when daytrading.
Knowing these key concepts helps me filter out the best setups to get on the right side of the market and in the right trading zones.
The basic concepts discussed are :
- Momentum
- Price Action
- Candle Analysis
- Multi-timeframe Analysis

GBPJPY: Thoughts and Analysis Pre-UK GDPToday's focus: GBPJPY
Pattern – Breakout
Support – 188.25? 186.14
Resistance – 189.88
Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at the GBPJPY on the daily chart.
After what looked like a new breakout, sellers have started to test buyer confidence after news hit JPY traders yesterday. The question remains: will we see buyers hold the breakout and continue to push higher, or will we see sellers break through and possibly retest 186.14 support?
Another factor to keep an eye on is UK GDP; it's due at 6 pm AEDT today.
Good trading.

EUR/USD Weekly Development MondayLooking at EU we have major liquidity pool that can be taken however on the inverse chart it shows that the DXY has already liquidated that area which illustrates that a reversal is possible even before EU breaches that level. It is now a waiting game, picking the right moment to strike.

USDJPY: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: USDJPY
Pattern – Consolidation Watch
Support – 146.20
Resistance – 148.50, 151.70
Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at the USDJPY.
After US employment data shocked on Friday and lifted the USD, we are wondering if we will see trend continuations on the USDJPY. So far, the price continues to travel on its uptrend after breaking the last downtrend in December.
The key for buyers now is a break of 148.50 resistance. If we see that break, we will be waiting to see if buyers can retest 151.70 resistance. A close below 146.20 would be a worry for buyer momentum.

GBPUSD: Analysis Pre BOE Rate decision. Today's focus: GBPUSD
Pattern – Consolidation Watch
Support – 1.2665, 1.2610
Resistance – 1.2751
Hi, and thanks for checking out today's video update. We are looking at the GBPUSD today as the price continues to consolidate in a rough ending diagonal pattern. We have also chosen the cable as we have the UK rates decision to come out later today. Depending on what we see from the BOE, this could be a catalyst to break the price out of its current deadlock.
Yes, we do have a consolidation in an uptrend but its not a traditional continuation pattern so we are waiting to see if, and where price breaks ou before we start thinking about directional calls. Rates are expected to remain on hold, so we will be looking for policy clues in the statement. Will we see a breakout today?
We have run over scenarios for price and points we will look at for potential confirmation.
UK Interest Rate decision is due today at 11:00 pm.
