Setups for This Week:

 

USDCHF

Primary View:

The USDCHF broke the 0.907 support, which gave us a proper, long-term sell signal here

Most recently, the price tested this broken support as a resistance and the outcome was negative, the price bounced

In addition to the horizontal resistance, the price bounced off a dynamic one, which only strengthens the sell signal

Alternative View:

The price coming back above the 0.907 will cancel the negative sentiment

AUDJPY

Primary View:

The AUDJPY is currently bouncing off a combination of two key resistances

The first one is a dynamic one, i.e., the upper line of the flag and the second one is the 92.3 that has been serving as a resistance since March

The bounce was made with a shooting star, which is very promising for sellers

Alternative View:

AUDJPY climbing back above the 92.3 will mean a signal to buy

USDJPY

Primary View:

Last week was crucial for this pair, as we escaped a 6-month-long sideways trend locked inside of the triangle

The escape was to the upside, giving us the trading signal

Alternative View:

The USDJPY coming back inside of this triangle will cancel the buy signal and bring back the negative sentiment
