Setups for This Week:

EURGBP

Primary View:

The pair has been on our radar for some time, as we witnessed the breakout from the symmetric triangle pattern who brought a bearish sentiment here

After the smaller rectangle, the price continued the downswing until we met the horizontal support at 0.587

Currently, a bounce off the support gives a short-term buy signal

Alternative View:

If the price breaks below 0.587, we will have a major signal to sell

EURPLN

Primary View:

An exotic, but recently a very technical forex pair

Here, the price is inside of a rectangle pattern (yellow) with clear horizontal support and resistance

The price breaking the support will bring about a new signal to sell

Alternative View:

The price breaking from the rectangle to the upside can potentially cause a bullish correction

CADJPY

Primary View:

For the past few weeks, the CADJPY has been trading in a channel up formation (black lines)

We are aiming at its upper line at the moment and the long-term sentiment remains positive

Alternative View:

The CADJPY breaking the lower line of the channel up formation will mean a proper signal to sell
