8/28/2008 – USD/CHF – Price on the USD/CHF daily chart, as shown, has formed a steep uptrend line (in green) within the last month and a half or so. Thursday’s bar has reached down to touch this dynamic support line once again, and then subsequently bounced up off the line. Further upward momentum on this bounce should target significant resistance around the 1.1100 region (represented by the upper yellow line), which has been tested as resistance several times this year, including just a couple of days ago.

A breakdown of the steep uptrend support line, on the other hand, should meet immediate support around the 1.0840 region (represented by the lower yellow line), and then further down at the 1.0730 region.

8/27/2008 – USD/CAD – Long-term price action on USD/CAD (a daily chart of which is shown) has come down decisively off the significant downtrend line (in red) that has served as resistance for at least 5 years. After retreating from this resistance line last week, price has gradually descended from the swing high.

Going forward, the red downtrend line should continue to act as resistance to the upside, while the yellow horizontal support/resistance line around the 1.0300 region should serve as immediate support to the downside. Further down, additional key support resides around the green intra-channel uptrend line. A strong breakdown of this uptrend line, incidentally, would constitute a very bearish signal that would hint at a potential prolonged drop, continuing the long-term downtrend in the pair.

8/26/2008 – EUR/USD – Long-term price action on the EUR/USD daily chart, as shown, has come down a long way to approach the very significant uptrend line that has served as dynamic support since at least the beginning of 2006. This long-term uptrend support line is represented on the chart by the long green line. Any further bearish price action should find strong support around this line, which is currently located around the 1.4400-1.4450 region.

Oscillators like the displayed Stochastics are just emerging from oversold territory and pointing up. Any significant turn back up between the current price and the support imposed by the long-term uptrend line should target major resistance around the 1.4900 region once again.

8/25/2008 – EUR/GBP – Price on the EUR/GBP pair (a daily chart of which is shown) has reached the very top resistance line of a large symmetrical triangle consolidation that has been forming since late March. Each side of this triangle (represented on the chart by the yellow converging lines) has been touched by price around three times during the triangle’s life.

Now that price action has reached the top of the triangle once again, oscillators like the displayed Stochastics are indicating severely overbought conditions, but not yet turning down. In the event that price turns down at or near triangle resistance, clear support to the downside resides around the bottom of the triangle. A clean breakout of triangle resistance, on the other hand, should target immediate further resistance around the 0.8030 region.
