Setups for This Week:

 

Dow Jones

Primary View:

  • The last week started poorly as the price was dropping lower and threatening the lower line of the symmetric triangle
  • Friday brought about a decisive bounce off the support, which cancelled the bearish sentiment
  • Currently, the most probable scenario is the price climbing towards the upper line of the triangle

Alternative View:

  • If the price breaks the lower line of the triangle, we will get a proper signal to sell

EURUSD

Primary View:

  • The EURUSD continues trading in the downtrend, but it looks like the sellers are losing the momentum
  • The price is still below key resistance at 1.076 (blue) and down-trendline
  • As long as we stay below, the sentiment is negative

Alternative View:

  • The price breaking above the two resistances will bring us a proper signal to buy

 

USDCHF

Primary View:

  • The USDCHF is currently in a place where traders need to make an important decision about the mid-term situation on this pair
  • We are below the key horizontal resistance inside of the flag formation
  • As long as we stay below the green area, the sentiment is negative and a breakout of the lower line seems more probable

Alternative View:

  • The price climbing above the green resistance would trigger a proper, mid-term signal to buy
