Watchlist for Sunday, October 18, 2009
Day/Date: Sunday, October 18, 2009
Watchlist:
| Pair | Daily | 4h | 1h |
| CADJPY | HUGE Ascending triangle w/ the 800sma above price. | Consolidating along the first 200% extension. | Long above 88 or short below 87.20 |
| EURJPY | Tightening w/in its range. | Sharp movement w/o retrace. Likely to, at least consolidate awhile. | Long above 136, short below 135 |
| EURUSD | New higher high after breakout from 800sma, and looking to consolidate along that first 200% extension | May need to dip back down or consolidate longer before a bigger climb. | I’m still long this pair, but a new entry could be long above 1.4965 or short below 1.4815, everything w/in that area is likely to whipsaw and tighten. |
| GBPCHF | Major bounce away from support. Second attempt at the 800sma coming? | Sitting right at the retracement level we looked at last week. There is another sitting at 1.6980 | Price didn’t retest 1.63 before climbing, but the pair seems destined for the 800sma. Long above 1.6685, short below 1.6530 |
| GBPJPY | Major rejection of support, but still within the bounds of the descending channel | Left 1.44 w/o a retrace, but hit the retracement level from previous sharp movement at 148. | Long above 149.50, short below 148 |
| GBPUSD | Major rejection of support, but still within the bounds of the descending channel | Still on its way to its 200% extension level but late for an entry. | Tightening up…could retrace to 1.6135 or continue to the 200% 4h extension @ 1.6470 |
| NZDUSD | Consolidating along its 2nd 200% extension level. | Divergence could drive the price down to the .7320 again before continuing its climb | Long above .74, short below .7365 |
| USDCAD | Kissed the 200% level after its first move away from the 800sma | One sharp rejection is not enough for this pair…look for a quick move South before a determined move North. | No trade here. |
| USDCHF | Major divergence | 2 higher highs and 1 higher low | Broke from its awkward double bottom/h and s and has retested the neckline. Candlestick bounce could be a good signal to go long. |
| USDJPY | Sharp support rejection w/ long shadows. Trend looks really tired. | Ugly H/S, but could mean further gains are imminent | Long 91.30, short below 90.50 |

There seems to be opportunities for both counter-trend and trendside traders this week, though I’m most excited about the trend side. The counter trend side might be tricky on some of these…be sure to calculate your R:R before entering your trade!
