EURAUD Head & Shoulders/2618 (It's Not As Confusing As it Looks)So tonight I wanted to revisit a pair that we looked at this weekend, but first of all congrats to anybody that was able to catch all or part of the painless 100+ pip drop!! (RING THE REGISTER!) Now the question is what's next? and my answer may not be what you're expecting.
Despite price pulling back into our previous level of structure, I still have a higher time frame bullish bias on this pair and am looking for a potential bullish head & shoulders pattern to set up. If you're a trader that likes to trade this type of pattern at the right shoulder instead of the neck line then a secondary 2618 looks to be a good way for you to get involved. \
Tomorrow evening 9:30 & 11pm (New York Time), we have news releases from the Aussie, which is always,,,"interesting" considering how thin the markets are during that time.
If the chart above seems a little confusing, keep an eye out for the video release as that may clear up any questions that you may have. Of course feel free to leave them below as well as I try to answer everyone when I have the time. DO ME A FAVOR & TAKE A SECOND TO HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON AS WELL WHILE YOU'RE DOWN THERE.
Also "Don't Feed The Trolls" (DFTT) so if someone leaves a negative comment under a question or comment that you post, just ignore them, they just want attention to help brighten their sad existence. LOL

2618 Trade
EURAUD - 2618 trading opportunity This is a very interesting chart because it encompasses a battle between the two strongest currency pairs as of late. After putting in a rotation on the higher timeframe the EURAUD has retraced back into a powerful level of structure resistance and has created a double top. The double top has proven to hold and price is now offering a second opportunity to get short in the form of a 2618 trade setup.

Gold Short - 618 retracement from Double Top (2618) -Daily chartThis pair has been bullish up until we made a new structure high and failed to break it on a second test, forming a double top . Price then was able to break the previous low confirming the buyers are running low on energy. A retest and break of the new low would confirm a change in direction. Entering short on a clear rejection of the fibb 618 retracement with 1st targets at the neckline.
EURUSD at the top. Time to fall?Hey guys,
this is the hourly chart on EURUSD. If you're wondering why i'm in this chart, that's because EURUSD has hit the superior edge of the consolidation channel that's trapped it for more than 2 years. When i'm in a high location i always look for shorting opportunities, and if we're in a daily structure i'm allowed to use 4hr and 1hr chart in order to find trading opportunities. Here's in the form of a double top broken to the downside. This is a 2618 strategy and it consists on selling the 618 retracement of the leg that breaks the neckline. Stops above 1,17, targets as displayed atm.

GBPUSD - Retest of Structure ShelfThe GBPUSD is a pair that we've had on our radar from the beginning of the week for a few different reasons. Initial there was a 2618 Opportunity setting up (which is technically still there), but there was also a smaller trend trading opportunity setting up at the retest of the double tops lows.
Price ended up consolidating at the smaller structure level before eventually dropping and creating a new structure low.
Now as we look to retest that level, I have potential shorts on my radar once again
Bigger picture I'm not too sold on projecting a bearish move as I think the path of least resistance is still to the upside, so entries and target taking on this potential trade will be extremely conservative.

AUDUSD - BEARISH 2618 TRADING OPPORTUNITY I must of missed this one earlier but the $AUDUSD is setting up a bearish 2618 opportunity. After rallying to previous structure resistance (seen on higher timeframes) price has now given us a double top with a break and close below.
A pullback into structure would present us with a 2618 shorting opportunity with the potential to trade price down to our previous structure highs which line up right with a 38.2 Fibonacci retracement level.

"So Tired...Oh I'm So Tired"
ETHUSD Short Let me start by saying that this is not something I trade.
Price is currently trending lower. I have some areas marked as a potential entry point and then the levels I would look
to take profits. IF price closes below 75.12 look out the turd could appear really fast.
IF one wanted to get long I would wait for conservative entry such as a 2618 trade set up.
the best of luck
trade at your own risk
you could lose everything
GBPUSD - The Next Move LowerLast week we took a look at a potential Bearish 2618 opportunity on the GBPUSD and it couldn't have played out any perfectly. Now that the first part of the move has been made, the send prediction was a continuation down to the $1.28 level (or just above)
Currently, we've created a new structure low and are putting in a bearish flag pattern.
This week I'll be looking for ways to hop on the retracement & sell this pair down to the next level of potential structure support.
For more details on this trade you can always check out the video that I uploaded yesterday.

EURCAD - Bearish Gartley Formation Returning to StructureA little bored in the live trading room today so we decided to take a look at some random pairs and here's what we found
A potential advanced pattern formation opportunity, coming after a beautiful 2618, which can also be used as an entry into a larger trend continuation trader lower
Cheers!!

Double Top with Break to the Downside on GBPUSDHey guys,
here you can see the hourly chart of GBPUSD: i'm in here because of my higher timeframe analysis that allows me to highlight a structure area (yellow box) from the daily timeframe. When price touches such zones it usually reacts, giving us an edge to exploit the market. In this case you can see price has formed a double top followed by a break of structure to the downside, meaning bears are taking control. With a 618 retracement it's good to sell, with stops above highs and targets as shown above.
Trade safe, always.

GBPUSD: Daily Bearish Bat, 4Hr Potential 2618 Hey Traders! On my radar for this week is a potential 2618 opportunity on the GBPUSD. The fact that it's hard to differentiate this opportunity from a double top or a trend continuation trade leads me to take a more conservative approach when looking for shorts.
If you're a higher timeframe trader, an expansion from this level will also push you towards the "D" completion point of a bigger bearish Bat formation.

eurnzd short 2618the market has been trending down for a while on 4 hr time frame....recently has been in a nice descending channel on 1 hr....previous double top (yellow bubble) (notice rsi downward divergence and upward movement on chart inside of yellow bubble) looking for shorting opportunity around 1.514142 (61.8) looking for possible evening star pattern or engulfing pattern or lower low lower close in red box... it may hit the top of the channel (which is in line with the 61.8) and have a nice rejection (most aggressive entry would be right at the 61.8)...... (more confluence if we are oversold around those levels). My Stops will go above 1.54800 tp at 1.53309
Bearish 2618 on USDJPY with 1:3 Risk/Reward FactorUSDJPY gave is a conservative structure trading opportunity - 2618 setup with a little bit more than 1:3 R/R factor.
You can enter right away or waiting for an entry reasons - RSI is in OB condition.
Stops above current NSH(the double top setup), 1st target will be a retest of the structure low(the low formed after the "V" of the double top setup was violated) and 2nd target will be 1.272 fib extension.
Good luck
