Looking Ahead to Today by Reflecting Back at Monday’s Price Action

CURRENCIES:

Higher closes Monday for the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro Fx and Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and Aussie Dollar while lower for the dollar index,. The Euro continues to be in a down-trend overall now in a good resistance while the franc continues to have a different chart pattern but falling back lately into a support area. Normally, these two currencies have the same chart pattern.

The yen settled higher also but is still in a strong down-trend overall. The Canadian Dollar settled higher this time making a new CONTRACT HIGH AND CLOSE. The pound closed higher again still forming a possible bottom while relatively close to a buy signal while the Aussie Dollar also closed higher still acting like it will test its highs. The dollar settled down but has strong support around the 8100 area and below continuing to be in an uptrend overall. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE SWISS FRANC, CANADIAN AND AUSSIE DOLLAR. SELL SIGNAL FOR THE EURO FX. CALL FOR DETAILS!
