USDRUB
USD/RUB 1H Chart: New short term pattern spottedThe US Dollar reached the previously set target at the 64.15 mark against the Russian Ruble. After reaching the target the currency exchange rate bounced off the resistance provided by the upper trend line of a medium term ascending channel pattern. The trend line was also strengthened by a pivot point level.
In the aftermath of the bounce off the rate has declined steadily while being supported only by the hourly simple moving averages, which have managed to pause the decline only for short periods of time.
Meanwhile, Dukascopy analysts spotted on Monday that the decline is occurring in a short term descending channel pattern.
USD/RUB: Short TargetA 62.24 short is reasonable, given the recent high of the day being 62.0485, and the low being 61.9385. Also, even though the 1 month and 1 day correlations have been negative, the market spread looks like it will likely become positive correlations fairly soon. This is given that less people seem to be indicating to trade against it leading to a small positive correlation in prices. As a Forex pair, I would still say it is overall medium to high risk given some of the recent fluctuations.
USDRUB | Bullish Flag setup to follow this weekAssuming the USD (DXY) continues to show strength in this week and in the near future, I will be looking to enter this market as a slightly longer-term position.
If I don't get my desired entry around the 0.382 fib level, an alternative (and potentially safer) entry would be to wait for confirmation of a breakout to the upside and likely retest resistance.
