11/7 Forex

Notes on this morning’s forex...

AUD/NZD has begun to fall following a bearish divergence on the relative strength index. A bearish RSI divergence means the index, while above 70, began to fall as the price rose.

PLN/HUF may be setting up for a bearish RSI divergence, but it’s not there yet.

Channels of interest:

All the trending pairs moved sideways, some breaking beyond their trend channel. But none moved in a way that would negate the trend.

Uptrending,

  • EUR/USD, from Oct. 4.
  • GBP/AUD, from Oct. 28.
  • USD/SGD, from Oct. 31.

Downtrending,

  • NZD/USD, AUD/CAD, AUD/HKD, AUD/THB, NZD/THB from Oct. 28.
  • NZD/JPY, GBP/THB from Oct. 31
  • AUD/PLN, AUD/ZAR, CAD/PLN, GBP/ZAR, NZD/HUF from Nov. 1.
  • GBP/CZK from Nov. 2

What I Track

For the daily charts, I track approximately 120 currency pairs. For the hourlies, I track the dozen most important pairs, with two NOK pairs added in, because of their energy sector connection.

The majors, in declining importance, are EUR/USD, AUD/JPY, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, NZD/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF, USD/NOK and EUR/NOK.

Channels of interest: By "of interest", I mean a relatively new trend that has room to move before meeting major resistance, especially if it’s a decisive bounce off of a 20-day high or low. Plus, it has to look right to me. This is not science. Also, channels of interest aren’t necessarily positions I would play without some sort of corroborating momentum evidence.
