EURO USD TO FORM CONSOLIDATION SETUP IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS?

___________________________________________________

The EURO USD may be in the early stages of forming a Consolidation Setup based on the nature of the sharp rally that has taken place over the last few days. If we see this play out over the course of the next few weeks, there may be an opportunity for us to trade within the boundaries of Support and Resistance until a breakout takes place.

As we can see in the chart below, the pair has finally broken the Large Pennant Consolidation that was formed between 2008 and 2014.



DAILY CHART - PENNANT BREAKOUT



Given the size of this Consolidation, we should expect this breakout to continue in favour of the USD for the Medium to Long-Term heading into 2016. However, as we can appreciate more clearly from the chart below, the EURO has started to rally in defiance of this overall outlook.



DAILY CHART - BREAK OF INNER TREND LINE 


  
The Inner Uptrend Line was broken with a pair of Double Bottoms. This has been followed by a sharp rally that appears to be taking the pair to the Outer Downtrend Line. If that barrier is hit, the pair could continue even higher towards the Long-Term Downtrend Line before breaking back inside of the Pennant.

On the other hand, it could also U-Turn bearish to resume the overall direction of the Consolidation Breakout at either the Outer or Long-Term Downtrend Line.

  

DAILY CHART - FORECAST SCENARIOS



Despite the possibility of a bullish scenario that takes us back inside of the Pennant, the current strength of the Downtrend makes a bearish U-Turn the more likely outcome over the next few weeks. Another reason for this bearish outlook has to do with the nature of the candles that have led to the current rally taking place. The sharp movement, the small candles and the fact that the reversal follows a very long trend, are some of the signs of the start of a Consolidation Setup (Section 4, Part 2).











This means that we could see a pullback at either of those two Trend Lines to form the 1st Resistance point of a Consolidation Setup.



DAILY CHART - PROJECTED CONSOLIDATION 



If this materializes, then we will have opportunities to trade between Support and Resistance until the breakout takes place. We will do this by firstly determining the time frame that is controlling the signals and then analyze and trade accordingly for our 100 to 200 Pip Targets.

STRATEGY NOW UP BY 23.78% WITH RECENT 2.00% USD CHF TRADE

Image
This trade involved trading the False Breakout Reversal Setup that was taking place on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts last week, amidst the period of risk aversion across markets in reaction to the on going Coronavirus outbreak. This quick and aggressive trade took just 4 Hours in providing me with a 2.00% Rate of Return, just ahead of the Bullish Reversal that took place at Support. With this result, the new strategy is now up by 23.78% from just 14 trades, pushing me closer to the next major target of a 30% Rate of Return. As long as we carefully and patiently wait to only trade the setups with a High Probability of Success, large Rates of Return are possible for us in this difficult market.  VIDEO HIGHLIGHT OF THE USD CHF TRADE The main factors related to this trade that you'll seen in the Manual and in the more detailed Video Analysis available only to my subscribers were: 1.

GBP CAD PROVIDES A 140-PIP TRADING GAIN FROM FALSE CONSOLIDATION BREAKOUT REVERSAL

Image
This successful trade took advantage of the sharp False Breakout Reversal from the Pennant Consolidation on the Daily Chart that started on December 3, 2015. As with all of these types of setups, the initial breakout attempt was quickly taken out by a strong, opposing signal that led to a breakout at the other end of the Consolidation. Given that this setup was in sync with the theory of False Breakouts that is outlined on Page 54 of the Trading Manual, the trade provided a strong gain of 140 Pips. The graph below shows one of the examples of False Breakouts that are explained in detail in the Manual. FALSE BREAKOUT SETUPS As you can see from the Daily Chart of the GBP CAD below, the setup was almost exactly the same as the one above.  DAILY CHART FALSE BREAKOUT PENNANT SETUP (FXCM Charts used to provide Entry Signals based on the New York Candle Close of the Daily Chart) Following the Bear Candle that attempted a breakout at Support, the bulls
