Setups for This Week:
EURUSD
Primary View:
Last week brought a bigger correction on the EURUSD
The price denied the ascending triangle pattern (orange) and broke its lower line
The sell signal is on, with the target on the 38,2% Fibonacci (blue)
Silver
Primary View:
Strengthening of the US wreaked havoc on some of the commodities
Silver dropped sharply and broke a key horizonal support on 24.4 USD/oz (yellow)
The price staying below the hat area is a strong signal to sell
Alternative View:
Silver climbing back above the yellow area will be a signal to go long
USDJPY
Primary View:
Monday starts with a stronger USD and weakening of the JPY, which means only one direction for the USDJPY – up
The price is inside of the symmetric triangle pattern and aiming at its upper boundary
Sentiment in the mid-term is positive
Alternative View:
The USDJPY breaking the red support would be a signal to go short
