EURNZD - Breakout RetestHere's something that we just took a look at in the Live Room, while watching Yeelen's Testimony.
EURNZD (Which is a pair I don't trade, for those who think I trade every idea that I post) is has rallied toward previous structure highs and is now retracing back down into the previous pennant pattern highs. Although I wouldn;t be looking for a full trend continuation move here, I certainly think there is the opportunity for a trader to involve themselves in a low-risk trade looking for a retest of the highs.

AUDCAD Trend Continuation OpportunityAUDCAD is in clear bearish trend on 1H, and currently price pull backed into the Kill Zone.
You can wait for an entry reason like LLLC or Double Top on Lower Time Frame, or you can simply enter right away - you will get more than 1:2 R/R.
Stops would be above current OR and we would target a retest of the NSL
USDCAD: Stopped Out Earlier But Still Looking LongThis morning I got triggered & stopped out of a long entry in a matter of seconds thanks to some beyond positive Retail Sales news for the Canadian Dollar. Price has now retraced lower & nothing has changed much with my overall analysis for this pair.
I still have my eyes glued to this pair for another potential buying opportunity and I won't let the 18 pip loss earlier today scare me away. After all, if you're going to lose, lose small that way it doesn't hurt you psychologically or monetarily.
If we can get a retest of structure with a hold, that will allow me to put myself in another position that offers a great potential reward with very minimal risk.

USDCAD: Eyes Still On A Long Opportunity If you've been following me over the past few weeks then you know that I've been waiting on opportunities to get long on the USDCAD. After consolidating and holding at previous structure lows (daily), we've now seen a bullish rotation on the hourly.
It's important to remember that a "rotation" doesn't mean a trend, rather just the 1st leg of the 3 point move needed to establish one. If price were to retrace, it would offer us an advanced bat formation which could be used as reason for entry.

EURUSD - The Rally To ResistanceAs soon as I hit send on the email, the EURUSD completes its double top at a retest of previous structure highs. This isn't the best place to short this pair in my opinion, but it is a good one and the only opportunity that I would have due to how price has developed.
Overall i still have a neutral bias on this pair but there's certainly room for a correction after today's rally to resistance.

GBPJPY: Looking Short Once AgainThe GBPJPY aka "The Beast" has been my favorite pair to day trade over the past few weeks. If you're familiar with this pair then you know that when it moves, it moves big & I've been able to get on the right side of those moves on my last few attempts, including the trade I shared with you guys yesterday.
Once again I'll be looking for day trading opportunities on the pair today starting at the 142.50's level.
Currenty (6:30am NY) we just completed a bearish Cypher on the 15min which I'm sure some of our traders are using for an entry reason.

The power of price structuresHere's a clear example of price structure: a few days ago the resistance level at 123.00 (tested multiple times in the past) has been broken and now it has been retested as support. Today's candle seems to confirm such level is holding as support but wait for candle closure.
Merck & Co Inc on Possible Wave Y Completion?It seems that we may have a possible Wave Y completion on the Intermediate Period, with a wave 5 on the Minor Period confirming it. On structure breakout, it is possible that we may see the start of a SHORT on a wave 1 minor of a wave 1 Intermediate. MACD suggests slight upwards movement before a bearish move at the breakout of structure. Stochastic already displays overbought position and likely move downwards as well as RSI suggests overbought position already completed and bearish movement possibly imminent on breakout of structure. Additionally, my guess is that due to looming lawsuits regarding Vaccine safety as well as gender bias lawsuits, has ultimately influenced investor confidence and is now starting to net the results of this.

EURAUD - A Simple Structure TradeA simple structure trading opportunity here on the EURAUD. What I'm looking at is price action pulling back into a previous level of structure support & forming a double bottom with divergence on the RSI.
If we rally the 2 levels that I'd predict price action to run towards would be the $1.40 even handle & $1.4050's level.
AUDUSD: Potential Bearish Trend Continuation Trade Opportunity Hey traders what I'm looking at in this chart is a potential Bearish Trend Continuation Trading Opportunity on the AUDUSD. Price action has provided a little bullish relief after the Friday Job's report and as we get a retracement back into previous structure levels we're offered an entry opportunity for anyone looking to get involved in a bearish move.

GBPCAD - Definitely a good opportunityGBPCAD Shows bullish MACD Divergence on the daily, based on three points, so we could expect an upmove. I'll post the daily chart in the comments.
On the 4 hour (this chart), we can see a structure that would end up in a breakout. I'd say that the small flag (blue lines) would go down to retest the bottom blue line, and then it could break out to the upside. If we look at the previous impulse (900 pips in 10 days), we could expect a nice move in the next weeks.
Long for GBP/AUDMy analysis suggests there will be some "tectonic shifts" for AUD/USD and NZD/USD as these pairs prepare themselves for a down move which should have significant implications for AUD and NZD crosses. This why I am going to take every upside flag breakout for GBP/NZD, GBP/AUD, EUR/NZD and EUR/AUD.
