This Forex pair once again completed an 11-month falling wedge (a diagonal pattern). Factor established a long position on Friday. I have low expectations for this trade – that could be a good sign. There is the potential for a significant bull trend based on the long-term chart.
This discussion will bring Factor members back to Jun 2017. The advance in Mar 2016 violated a multi-year parabola. Following the initial rally from the violated parabola, the market corrected in the form of a 13-month channel. The completion of this channel in Jun 2016 produced a 785 BP trading profit for the Factor Tracking Account.
Another channel is forming in the C$. This is a diagonal pattern, so I am cautious. Keep in mind that long CAD futures (the value of the CAD expressed in USD) is the same trade as short spot USD/CAD (the number of CAD that can be purchased by one USD). See the daily chart of futures and spot.

Here are just a couple of sample Forex possibilities from the past weekend member report.
GBP/NOK
This forex cross continues to display a possible 28-month ascending triangle. I really like this pattern – but I do not like the volatility that Brexit is likely to create with any trade involving the British Pound. I am willing to go with an upside breakout of this pattern, but sized small (perhaps as small as 20,000 GPB/NOK per $200k of trading capital).
This cross is forming a possible rounding or complex H&S top. I am watching this cross carefully for a trading opportunity. This cross should be immune from the craziness of Brexit.
USD/JPY
I am displaying a chart of USD/JPY as a reference point for JPY because of my interest in CHF/JPY. If there is a pattern, I like less than a prolonged symmetrical triangle on a daily chart it is a prolonged symmetrical triangle on a weekly or monthly graph. Nevertheless, USD/JPY is coiling. Factor is flat – I have no trading interest in the Yen.
