11/8 Forex

Notes on this morning’s forex...

AUD/NZD continues to fall, slowly, 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.

The developing PLN/HUF bearish RSI divergence is close to being invalidated as the RSI rises to its prior high.

Channels of interest:

GBP/CZK has broken beyond its downtrending channel from Nov. 2 and begun a counter-trend move. The pair is now in an uptrend in a channel established from Oct. 28. GBP/CZK has touched its 20-day high, at Kč29.48

All the other trending pairs have 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, GBP/CZK 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.

For the daily charts, I track approximately 120 currency pairs.

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.
