5/3 Forex

Three new forex signals on Friday, all unconfirmed by today's price action.

EUR/CAD: The euro today declined sharply against the loonie, after rising sharply on Friday.

EUR/CAD C$1.3352

Friday's move produced a pps bull signal, but it's not confirmed. The pivot points are dropping, so this pair won't make the Watchlist.

EUR/CHF: A pps bear signal on Friday. It closed that day below the pps moving averages and so is confirmed. The lower pivot is at SF1.40.

GBP/CHF: A sharp drop, a pps bear signal and a close below the pps moving averages on Friday, countered by a move above the moving averages today. So, unconfirmed, but I'll track it on the Watchlist. The lower pivot is at $1.60
