Setups for This Week:
 
Silver
Primary View:
  • The price broke below the key horizontal support at $24.4 per ounce.
  • Following this break, the broken support has been tested as resistance and the price remains below, further validating this downward movement.
  • This behavior confirms a false breakout pattern, marked with a green color. While the price remains below the yellow resistance, the sentiment leans bearish.
Alternative Scenario:
  • Should the price climb back above the yellow resistance, it could serve as a bullish indicator and a signal to take a long position.

NZDUSD
Primary View:
  • The price is currently finding support from a midterm uptrend line, connecting lows traced back to mid-October.
  • Remaining above this trend line keeps the sentiment on the bullish side.
  • On the daily chart, there appears to be an attempt to form a bullish engulfing pattern, which, if completed, would further reinforce this buy signal.
Alternative Scenario:
  • A break and daily close below the green uptrend line would be a bearish indicator and provide a clear signal to short.

AUDJPY
Primary View:
  • The price is maneuvering within a wedge pattern, in the midst of an uptrend.
  • Most recently, by the end of the previous week, there was a bounce off both the lower boundary of the wedge and the horizontal support approximating 92.5.
  • This bounce resembles a V-shaped reversal, indicative of a robust response from the bulls, thereby providing a buy signal as long as we hold above the yellow support.
Alternative Scenario:
  • If the price ends the day below the yellow support, this would be a bearish signal and an indication to short the pair.
