Tripletop

Engulfing kicker at daily resistanceHey guys, today i want to share a traditional structure based trade that's on my watchlist today. On the left hand side of the chart you can see on NZDUSD we are fronting a key resistance level that may stop price action's rally. If you follow me for a while you know i'm a conservative trader and that i need additional reasons for entry in order to set my orders. On the 4 hr chart (on the right hand side) you can see a closer look to the last price action's movements. Price's forming a triple top right now with RSI divergence. From my bigger view i know i want to be bearish and then i'm considering only shorting opportunities. Price is also putting an engulfing kicker which i sometimes use as reason for entry. And that's the case! If the current candle will close below the previous opening i'm going to sell this. With targets and stops as indicated above. Let me know if you have any doubt. Otherwise, see you in the next chart!

USD/CAD bullish weekly close, potential triple topThis chart is really interesting. USD/CAD faked out of this weekly trendline, with CAD weakening as BOC stated they are leaving the door open to near term rate cuts. This could see continued CAD weakness in the coming week and lead to prices testing the key 1.3580 level to the upside. Our overall bias is still short so we see a triple top forming at the .50 retracement, but this could present opportunities for intra-day buys.

NZDCAD Daily Triple Top w/ Slanted Neckline3 times price on this pair retested the resistance zone surrounding 0.96 seen above. The first time price reacted bearishly (the first top), however it did not go far down as it did previously (see 2015-12-29 date on chart). The second time price broke above the zone but then fell some - forming a second top and then going down to make a higher low. Then again, the third time it formed ANOTHER higher high and is currently going down from that. The fact that there has not been a lower high followed by a lower low suggests that this pair is technically still up trending. This is key, however, because that means that we can get a position in on time. The white support trendline is in fact the formation neckline. Price will definitely head to the TL next week, and then maybe to the 0.9290 area. We must wait for a lower low and then for a lower high to short this pair, or at least I am, you do what you like.

AUDJPY Shorting Possibilities AUDJPY has a lot of shorting potential at the moment, however any position we are going to take needs to be confirmed due to the subjectivity of the trades on offer - meaning I am expecting an overall selling direction but there are more than a couple of things price can do first which can be seen on the chart. Sell any breakout as and when it occurs - this is not my ideal setup but one I would like to get into IF it occurs before our other, more idealistic setups which I am going to mention now: My ideal setup consists of either getting in short at the red resistance level or, preferably, at the higher trend line at sell zone 2. The latter of the 2 will give us more confidence that price wont continue up any further allowing for tighter stops and better RR = more profitability. We will be expecting a breakout of this downtrend in the future (we have a lot of divergence on the daily to suggest this is the case) just like on other JPY pairs however we will not be looking for this long set up yet. As usual, take trades only after confirmation & good luck!

USDCAD: Triple Top Reversal?!Hi Traders, I have been eyeing this setup for most of the week. There is a 2618 selling opportunity very close to market. This pair has made a triple top (see marked on chart), which is a sign that we may see a bearish reversal and downside continuation in the coming week. I have a position ready to sell at the 61.8% fibonacci retracement, it has extra confirmation as this level comes in line with previous support turned resistance. I place my stop above the triple top highs, because if price breaks this level I will be wrong. Targets are at the 100% and 127.2% extensions of the move (See green boxes) Good trading and have a great weekend all. Luke

AUDUSD: FUTURE DIRECTION? BUY THE BREAKOUT; SELL THE TRIPLE TOPPost RBA has left Aussie in a somewhat uncertain direction; whilst the 25bps cut last week should have seen us offered to at least the 0.74 low support level, instead weve seen persistent aussie bids, even despite the strong USD employment report and consequential increased rate hike odds. Much of this Aussie topside is a function of investors shifting macro strategies from a monetary policy stance to a yield seeking/ rate differential positionings; further aussie downside was unhelped by the RBA's rate statement & SOMP which failed to offer any forward guidance regarding further policy, or hint at any FX levels which they thought were too high. Despite this I have seen several sell-side houses offer particularly dovish outlooks for the RBA - with 2 or more rate cuts and potentially new unconventional methods being used by end of 2017. My personal view is a mixed one. Whilst Aussie lower at these levels makes sense e.g. rate cut last week seemingly yet to be priced, we are at a double top resistance level that has held when the rate was 1.75 so should hold now the rate is lower. However, whilst this is the case in the immediate term aussie is still trading better bid, which is interesting given kiwi is trading with a slightly biased offered tone even though kiwi still has the better carry at 2.25% vs 1.5% - this could be a signal the market expects the RBNZ to be more aggressive in their policy decision on the 10th and/ or they will be more dovish and assertive with their forward guidance, which i agree is likely given the RBNZ has said several times it is not happy with kiwi at these levels and is likely to use policy tools to combat this. So on this note, if AUD$ holds the 0.768 level and fails to close on the daily above this (and shows 1/2 red dailies lower) this wiLl show the bias has confirmed to the downside and I will sell aussie to 0.750tp1 and 0.743tp2. Alternatively, given aussies topside bias, and the factors mentioned above, it is highly possible that the bulls win and AUD$ breaks higher - if we see a daily close above the 0.768 highs this imo will likely confirm the breakout and my bias until 0.778 is bullish thus I will buy the break with a 0.775tp1 and 0.778tp2. Today USD strength is firming as the fed funds rate implies a sept p=18% that the fed hikes up from 12% yesterday - though on the data side we are pretty quiet, with retail sales the only notable print which is on Friday. On the AUD side Gov Stevens from the RBA will be speaking later this week... hopefully he sets a bearish aussie tone and helps us move lower, but either way i think AUD$ is a solid trade. The breakout will see alot of momentum imo as a high % of bears will have stops ust above the 0.768 level (given the double top resistance) so we would likely short squeeze those stops 30pips higher immediately once their level has broken. Further, a confirmed rejection at the 0.767 level should see the bears take over (as they have done in the past 2 times), hence my high conviction on this trade.

Nifty : Potential Triple Top Shorting ChanceHi Guys, We have potential triple top in Nifty which is currently in formation now and once we get valid confirmation for downside move we can initiate short positions.If you check RSI its giving bearish divergence as of now but we need to check what happens when triple top is completed. If everything goes as planned we can short Nifty and in this particular setup risk is very less as you can see from the chart. You can also initiate short positions if the current candle ends as bearish engulfing, but enter small positions only ( for aggressive traders only) Thanks for your support... Happy Trading... !
