[B]GBP/USD: BEARS CAN REACH NEW LOWS[B]
08:37 15.08.2017
Technical levels: support – 1.2960, 1.2910; resistance – 1.3040, 1.3100.
Trade recommendations:
Buy — 1.2980; SL — 1.2960; TP1 — 1.3040; TP2 — 1.3100.
Buy — 1.2910; SL — 1.2890; TP1 — 1.3000; TP2 — 1.3040.
Reason: bearish Ichimoku Cloud with horizontal Senkou Span A and B; a cancelled dead cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen; the prices on the strong support, but the Bears can breakdown it to 1.2910.

EUR/USD: BEARS GOING TO TEST NEXT SUPPORT 10:05 15.08.2017
Bulls faced resistance at 1.1846, so there's a "Triple Top", which pushed the price to support at 1.1757. So, the market is likely going to test the nearest support at 1.1712 in the short term. If a pullback from this level happens, bulls will probably try to reach the nearest resistance at 1.1846 - 1.1875.
The last "Pennant" pattern has been broken, so the price found support at 1.1757. Nevertheless, the pair is likely going to test the next support at 1.1727 - 1.1712 during the day. However, there's an opportunity to have an upward correction towards resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1823 afterwards.

GBP/USD: BEARISH "PENNANT" 10:08 15.08.2017
The price is consolidating between the levels 1.3032 - 1.3047. Also, there's a "Flag" pattern, so bears are likely going to achieve the closest support at 1.2926 - 1.2951. If a pullback from this area happens, we should keep an eye on the nearest resistance at 1.3013 - 1.3032 as an intraday bullish target.
The 55 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so we've got a "Triple Top" pattern. At the same time, there's a "Pennant", so the market is likely going to test the next support at 1.2926 - 1.2951 in the coming hours. Considering a possible pullback from these levels, there's an option to have a bullish price movement towards resistance at 1.2997 - 1.3013 little later on.

AUD/USD IS GETTING READY FOR A BREAK 11:12 15.08.2017
Recommendations: BUY 0.7918 SL 0.7863 TP 0.8030, SELL 0.7838 SL 0.7893 TP 0.7740
On the daily chart, AUD/USD keeps consolidating in the range between 0.7835 and 0.7915. The break of its upper border will create an opportunity for the bullish trend resumption. On the other hand, successful test of support at 0.7835 will increase the risks of 113% target of the “Shark” pattern.
On H1, AUD/USD formed a “widening wedge”. A successful test of the upper border of the rising channel with the following retest of point 5 will be a signal for long positions. On the other hand, return to point 4 and break below support will allow bears to continue their assault.

EUR/USD: 55 MA TESTED ONCE AGAIN The 55 Moving Average has been tested once again, but we still don't have any confirmed bullish pattern. So, we could have a new local low soon. If another pullback from the nearest support happens, there'll be an option to have an upward price movement
We've got a bullish "Hammer" at the local low, but confirmation of this pattern isn't enough. So, the price is likely going to test the 34 & 55 Moving Averages, which could be a departure point for another decline.

USD/JPY: BULLISH "THREE METHODS" 14:04 15.08.2017
There isn't any reversal pattern so far, cause all the last candles are bullish. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the 89 Moving Average in the coming hours.
We've got a bullish "Three Methods", which hasn't been confirmed yet. Anyway, bulls are likely going to continue pushing the price even higher until any bearish pattern arrives.

EUR/USD: EURO FELL INTO CLOUD AGAIN 08:44 16.08.2017
Technical levels: support – 1.1700, 1.1640; resistance – 1.1770, 1.1820.
Trade recommendations:
Buy — 1.1640; SL — 1.1620; TP1 — 1.1700; TP2 – 1.1770.
Reason: narrowing bullish Ichimoku Cloud with falling Senkou Span A; a new dead cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen; the prices returned into the Cloud and will test the support of Senkou Span B.

AUD/USD: AUSSIE CONTINUE TO FALLING 08:45 16.08.2017
Technical levels: support – 0.7820; resistance – 0.7890.
Trade recommendations:
Buy — 0.7830; SL — 0.7810; TP1 — 0.7890; TP3 — 0.7940.
Reason: bearish Ichimoku Cloud with falling Senkou Span A; a new dead cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen; the prices are on the strong support of 0.7800/20.

GOLD: BULLS SHOWED WEAKNESS 09:50 16.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL $1267
SL $1280
TP $1250 TP2 $1235 TP3 $1224
On the daily chart, the second attempt of bulls to return the quotes inside the previous medium-term bullish channel failed. If bears manage to let gold outside the short-term bullish channel and then pull the price below support at $1250 an ounce, the odds of reaching 88.6% target of the Shark pattern will strengthen.
On H1, bears still have a chance of the “Widening wedge” pattern. For that, there’s the need of successful test of support at $1267 and $1252.

USD/CAD: BULLS SAW A RED RAG 10:02 16.08.2017
Recommendation: BUY 1,277 SL 1,2715 TP1 1,287 TP2 1,294.
On the daily chart, bulls are trying to develop their advantage and conquer resistance at 1.2737-1.2765. If they succeed, the odds of correction towards 1.2925-1.2939 will increase. To resume the downtrend, bears need to lead the pair outside of the bullish trend channel and then overcome support at 1.2650.
On H1, USD/CAD formed the “Dragon” pattern. A successful test of resistance at 1.2770 will strengthen the risks of a pullback to 1.2870 and 1.2940.

EUR/USD: "V-BOTTOM" PATTERN 11:43 16.08.2017
We've got a "Triple Top", so the price is declining, but bears faced support at 1.1683. Anyway, the market is likely going to test the 89 Moving Average soon. If a pullback from this line happens, we could have an upward price movement towards the nearest resistance at 1.1757 - 1.1801.
There's a "V-Bottom", so we've got a consolidation, which is taking place under resistance at 1.1748. However, the market is likely going to reach another support at 1.1670 - 1.1649 in the short term. If we have a pullback from this area, bulls will probably try to achieve the nearest resistance at 1.1757 - 1.1767.

GBP/USD: ANOTHER BEARISH "PENNANT" 11:46 16.08.2017
The last "Flag" has been broken, so price plunged. It seems like bears are ready to move on, so we should keep an eye on the next support at 1.2830 - 1.2811 as an intraday target. Meanwhile, if a pullback from these levels happens little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement towards resistance at 1.2853 - 1.2892.
There's a "Pennant" pattern, so the pair is likely going to reach the closest support at 1.2830 - 1.2811 during the day. If we have a pullback from this area, bulls will have a green light to deliver an upward correction.

EUR/USD: BEARISH "DOJI" 14:52 16.08.2017
There's a bullish "Harami", but this pattern hasn't been confirmed yet. So, the price is likely going to test the 89 Moving Average. If any bullish pattern forms on this line, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward correction.
The 34 & 144 Moving Averages acted as resistance, so there's a bearish "Doji", which has been confirmed. So, the market is likely going to continue moving down towards the next support level.

USD/JPY: PRICE REACHED 89 MOVING AVERAGE 14:56 16.08.2017
The price has reached the 89 Moving Average, but there isn't any reversal pattern so far. We could have a local bearish correction, but the pair is likely going to climb even higher afterwards.
We've got a bearish "Tweezers", but confirmation of this pattern is a quite weak. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the upper "Window", which could be a departure point for a decline.

AUD/JPY REVERSED FROM SUPPORT AREA 19:42 16.08.2017
AUD/JPY reversed from support area
Next buy target - 88.00
AUD/JPY has been rising in the last few trading sessions – following the earlier upward reversal from support area lying between the strong support level 85.70 (which reversed earlier waves 4 and (ii), as can be seen from the daily AUD/JPY chart below), lower daily Bollinger Band and the 50% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward price impulse from the start of June. AUD/JPY is expected to rise to next buy target at the next resistance level 88.00 (target price for the completion of wave (2)).

CAD/JPY RISING INSIDE MINOR B-WAVE 19:43 16.08.2017
CAD/JPY rising inside minor B-wave
Next buy target - 89.00
CAD/JPY continues rise inside the minor B-wave which started earlier from the support zone lying between the support level 85.60, 50% Fibonacci retracement of the previous upward impulse (3) from the start of June and the lower daily Bollinger Band. The active B-wave belongs to the intermediate ABC correction (4) from the end of July. CAD/JPY is expected to rise to next buy target at the next resistance level 89.00 (target price for the termination of the active wave 😎.

SILVER (XAG/USD): LOOKING FORWARD TO RIDE A BULLISH WAVE 19:58 16.08.2017
Silver has been riding an overall bullish structure that it’s looking for a consolidation above the 200 SMA at H1 chart. According to our Fibonacci’s projections, the XAG/USD pair has made a rebound above a key demand zone between the 16.67 and 16.50 levels (50% - 65%) and it’s now pointing to test the 17.49 level, at which lies the -23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
To the downside, if Silver manages to break below 16.50, then it can plummet towards 16.35 (78.6%), which is the last hurdle before to invalidate the bullish bias. RSI indicator remains in the positive territory.

GBP/USD: BEARS FULFILLED THEIR MISSION 09:33 17.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 1.2940 SL 1.3005 TP 1.2730
SELL 1.3005 SL 1.3060 TP1 1.2850 TP2 1.2730
SELL 1.3055 SL 1.3110 TP1 1.2925 TP2 1.285 TP3 1.2730
On the daily chart, GBP/USD reached 88.6% target of Shark pattern and reached the lower border of the uptrend channel. This increases the risks of correction towards 23.6%, 38.2% and 50% of the wave CD within the transformation of the “Shark” into 5-0.
On H1, GBP/USD formed a “Widening wedge” and a “Shark”. Correction movement towards 1.2940, 1.3005 and 1.3055 may be used for selling.

USD/CHF: BEARS ARE WINNING 09:47 17.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 0.9585 SL 0.9630 TP1 0.9510 TP2 0.9475
On the daily chart, USD/CHF failed to overcome resistance at 0.9765. This points at buyer’s weakness. If bears manage to settle above 0.9650 and trigger Gartley pattern, risks of decline towards the lower border of the downtrend channel will increase.
On H1, USD/CHF keeps forming “Widening wedge”. A break of support at 0.9585 will end the process (point 5) will strengthen the odds of a pullback to 78.6% and 88.6% of the last bullish wave.

EUR/USD: BEARS GOING TO TEST CLOSEST SUPPORT 10:36 17.08.2017
There's a "Double Bottom", so the price reached the nearest resistance at 1.1801. In this case, bears are likely going to test the closest support at 1.1727 - 1.1712 in the short term. If we have a pullback from this area, bulls will probably try to achieve the next resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1846.
Bulls found resistance at 1.1784, so the price is consolidating. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the 34 Moving Average soon. If a pullback from this line happens little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement towards another resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1823.

GBP/USD: "TRIPLE BOTTOM" PATTERN 10:39 17.08.2017
We've got a "Triple Bottom" pattern, which has been confirmed. It's likely that bears are going to achieve the closest support at 1.2853 in the short term. However, if a pullback from this level happens, bulls will have a green light to reach the nearest resistance at 1.2832 - 1.2951.
The price is consolidating near the 34 Moving Average. Also, the price faced resistance at 1.2911, so we should keep an eye on the closest support at 1.2853. If we have a pullback from this level, there'll be an opportunity to have a bullish price movement towards the next resistance at 1.2926 - 1.2932

EUR/USD: BEARISH "TWEEZERS" 14:02 17.08.2017
There's a local bearish "Tweezers" pattern, which has been confirmed. So, bears are likely going to test the 89 Moving Average. If any bullish pattern arrives little later on, there'll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement.
The price has reached the previously tested support level, but we still don't have any reversal pattern. So, the market is likely going to test the next support in the coming hours.

USD/JPY: CONFIRMED BULLISH "HARAMI" 14:08 17.08.2017
We've got a "Tweezers" and a "Hanging Man", which both have been formed on the 89 Moving Average. Therefore, the pair is likely going to test the lower side of the nearest "Window" soon.
There's a bullish "Harami", which has been confirmed, so the price is likely going to test the upper "Window". If a pullback from this level happens afterwards, bears will have a green light to deliver another decline.

[B]EUR/USD: "V-BOTTOM" PATTERN[/NB]
09:56 18.08.2017
There's a "V-Bottom" pattern, so the price reached the 55 Moving Average. In this case, the market is likely going to test the nearest resistance at 1.1801 - 1.1846. If a pullback from this area happens, there'll be an opportunity to have a decline towards the closest support at 1.1638 - 1.1649.
The 34 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so the price is consolidating. It's likely that bears are going to achieve the nearest support at 1.1712 - 1.1703. However, if we have a pullback from these levels, bulls will have a green light to reach another resistance at 1.1757 - 1.1784.

USD/JPY IS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION 10:30 18.08.2017
Recommendation:
BUY 110.95 SL 110.40 TP 112.50
On the daily chart, bears managed to lead the pair outside of the triangle. This increases the possibility of pattern AB=CD with the target at 161.8% in case of a successful break below support at 108. On the contrary, the pair’s return inside the triangle will show sellers’ weakness.
On H1, USD/JPY bulls managed to seize the initiative and return the quotes to the upper border of the downtrend channel. Further activation of the inverted “Head and Shoulders” and “Shark” will strengthen the risks of a bearish trend.

GBP/USD: BEARISH "FLAG" PATTERN 10:00 18.08.2017
We've got a bearish "Flag" pattern, so the market is likely going to reach the next support at 1.2830 - 1.2811 in the short term. At the same time, bulls will probably try to achieve the nearest resistance at 1.2892 - 1.2911 afterwards
The price is consolidating near the 34 Moving Average. Also, there's a possible "Flag", so the price is likely going to test the upper side of this pattern. If a pullback from the closest resistance at 1.2911 - 1.2926 happens, there'll be an opportunity to have a decline towards another support at 1.2930 - 1.2811.

EUR/USD: BEARS ARE READY FOR A NEW ATTACK 10:37 18.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 128 SL 128.55 TP1 126.90 TP2 125.80
On the daily chart, bears attempted for the second time to test important support at 128. It failed, but sellers don’t give up and hope to develop correction and reach 88.6% target of “Shark” pattern.
On H1, EUR/JPY formed “Head and Shoulders” pattern. A break of the neckline near 128.00 support with simultaneous activation of the AB=CD pattern will create an opportunity for a pullback to the uptrend towards 125.60-125.80.

GBP/USD: UNDER KIJUN’S RESISTANCE 13:17 18.08.2017
Technical levels: support – 1.2840; resistance – 1.2900.
Trade recommendations:
Sell — 1.2900; SL — 1.2920; TP1 — 1.2840; TP2 — 1.2810.
Reason: expanding bearish Ichimoku Cloud with horizontal Senkou Span B; a dead cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, but the lines are horizontal; the prices are under the resistance of Kijun-sen and may continue falling down.

USD: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 21-25 13:17 18.08.2017
The US dollar index (DXY) got support at 92.80 last week and went up to consolidate between 93.20 and 94.00.
The minutes of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting showed that most central bank officials supported a move towards unwinding the Fed's massive balance sheet in September. The $4.5 trillion balance sheet was built up after the financial crisis to keep borrowing costs low. In addition, markets closely follow the Fed’s discussion about inflation, which has recently shown signs of weakness. Opinions within the Fed slightly differ on this point: some members think that the softness in prices is temporary, while others worry that it will take longer than expected for inflation to rise to 2% target. As a result, the odds are that the Fed will delay a rate hike until inflation picks up. This is not very inspiring for the USD.
In the upcoming days, pay attention to new home sales and crude oil inventories on Wednesday, existing home sales on Thursday and core durable goods orders on Friday. In addition, at the end of the week, world's major central bankers will gather at the Fed’s Jackson Hole Symposium. The Fed Chair Janet Yellen will speak on the topic of financial stability at 17:00 MT time on Friday.
Note that political turmoil in Trump’s administration and the market’s risk aversion will likely reduce the impact of any positive statistics from America and keep the US currency under pressure.
Despite the recent recovery, DXY is still not far from its 13-month lows hit at the beginning of August. It looks like the greenback is correcting up within the general downtrend. A decline below 93.20 will open the way down to 93.00 and 92.50 (200-week MA). Resistance is at 94.00 ahead of 94.90 (50-day MA).

USD/JPY: DOLLAR RETURNED TO NEGATIVE AREA 13:18 18.08.2017
Technical levels: support – 109.00; resistance – 109.50.
Trade recommendations:
Sell — 109.50; SL — 109.70; TP1 — 109.00; TP2 — 108.60.
Reason: expanding bearish Ichimoku Cloud with falling Senkou Span A; a cancelled golden cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, the falling lines; the bears continue their offensive.

EUR/USD: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 21-25 13:25 18.08.2017
In line with expectations, EUR/USD moved horizontally between 1.1845 and 1.1685 during the past week. European stocks were affected by terrorist attack n Barcelona.
The minutes of the ECB July meeting revealed the central bank’s concern over the euro’s strength. It also seems that officials are still uncertain how to signal changes in their policy settings as the economic outlook improves and the need for broad-based bond purchases diminishes.
The ECB President Mario Draghi will address a conference in Germany on Aug. 23, and two days later attends the US Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium. According to a Reuters report, Draghi won’t deliver a new policy message in Jackson Hole. At the same time, taking into account low inflation in the euro area and other developed economies, any comments on this point will have an impact on the market.
Other events in the region’s economic calendar include German ZEW economic sentiment index on Tuesday, euro zone’s flash manufacturing & services PMIs on Wednesday and German Ifo business climate on Friday.
The pair’s now in a correction within the overall uptrend. The trend channel will stay intact as long as the pair’s above 1.1625. It looks like the euro will visit this level. If it is breached, the pair will be vulnerable for a decline to 1.1540. A close below 200-week MA at 1.1770 won’t be a very encouraging sign. Return above 1.1790 is needed to open the way to the recent highs at 1.1845 and 1.1910, as well as the psychological level of 1.2000.

EUR/USD: "ENGULFING", "DOJI" AND "HARAMI" 13:31 18.08.2017
There are bullish patterns such an "Engulfing", a "Doji" and a "Harami", which all have been formed on the 55 Moving Average line. So, the market is likely going to test the nearest resistance in the short term
The price has reached the Moving Averages, so it's likely to have any bearish pattern soon. In this case, we could have a local bearish correction, but bulls will probably try to deliver a new local high afterwards.

USD/JPY: BEARS GOING TO REACH LOWER "WINDOW" 13:34 18.08.2017
There isn't any reversal pattern so far, which means we should keep an eye on the lower "Window" as an intraday target. If a pullback from this level happens, we could have an upward correction towards the Moving Averages
We've got an "Inverted Hammer" and a "Tweezers" patterns, but both of them haven't been confirmed yet. So, there's an opportunity to have a local bullish correction and the following decline afterwards.

USD/JPY: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 21-25 15:46 18.08.2017
USD/JPY had a very volatile week. The pair rebounded from 109.00 to 111.00, but then was rejected down and returned to 109.00.
Japanese GDP showed the biggest expansion in more than 2 years (+1% q/q) in the second quarter as consumer and business spending picked up. However, wage growth and inflation remain subdued as companies avoid passing more of their profits to employees. Japan will release inflation figures on Friday. Although a small acceleration in price growth from 0.4% to 0.5% is expected, this is still very far from the regulator’s 2% inflation target. As a result, risk sentiment will remain the primary driver of the pair.
The market’s risk aversion is feeding demand for the safe-haven yen. Concerns over US President Donald Trump's ability to push through the pro-growth measures led to significant declines on Wall Street. Terrorist attack in Barcelona also affected the markets. North Korea can also be a source of worries.
USD/JPY remains in short- and longer-term downtrend. A decline below 109.00 will open the way down to 108.80 (bottom of the weekly Ichimoku Cloud/August, June lows). In turn, decline below that point will bring the pair down to 108.10 (April low). A break below the latter will be a signal of the bigger top at Forex market. Resistance lies at 109.50, 110.50 and 111.00.

GBP/USD: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 21-25 16:23 18.08.2017
Reports released this week in the UK showed a mixed picture. Consumer price inflation in Britain unexpectedly held steady in July at an annual rate of 2.6%, despite the fact that analysts were looking forward to a higher number. This news diminishes the pressure on the Bank of England to raise interest rates – not a positive factor for the pound. Retail sales growth exceeded forecasts on the monthly basis, although advance of the indicator in 3 months through July was the weakest in almost 4 years.
In the coming days, Britain will release the second estimate of its GDP growth in the second quarter. According to the initial data, the UK economy expanded by only 0.3% – that’s weak in comparison with last year’s figures.
Uncertainty about Brexit and global risk concerns are having a negative impact on the British currency.
GBP/USD broke below the 50-day MA at 1.2930 at the start of the week and is now consolidating above the 100-day MA at 1.2870. The pair’s currently trading at support line, which connects March and June lows. Decline below the recent lows and 61.8% retracement of June-August rally will open the way down towards the next Fibo level at 1.2735 and 200-day MA at 1.2640. Resistance levels are at 1.2930 and 1.3000.

EUR/USD IS LOOKING FOR A HINT 11:06 21.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 1.1705 SL 1.1760 TP1 1.1625 TP2 1.1530
BUY 1.1825 SL 1.1770 TP 1.1925
On the daily chart, bulls are trying to return the pair inside the uptrend channel at the phase of the “Spike and reversal with acceleration”. If they succeed. The odds of the uptrend’s resumption will increase. On the other hand, failure will allow bears to continue correction.
On H1, EUR/USD finished forming the “widening wedge”. Return of the quotes to 23.6% of the wave 4-5 will be a reason for short positions. On the other hand, growth to $1.1825 will allow opening longs.

NZD/USD: BULLS PREPARE A STRIKE 11:18 21.08.2017
Recommendation:
BUY 0.7335 SL 0.7280 TP1 0.7435 TP2 0.7530
On the daily chart, NZD/USD keeps retracing in line with the transformation of the “Shark” pattern to 5-0. Return of the pair to resistance at 0.7386 (23.6% of the wave CD) and its following successful test will increase the odds of the uptrend’s resumption.
On H1, bulls are ready to launch a third attack on 0.7334. Their success will trigger the “Shark” pattern and increase the odds of reaching 88.6% target. We don’t exclude the possibility of an inverted “Head and Shoulders” pattern.

EUR/USD: 34 MA ACTED AS RESISTANCE 11:29 21.08.2017
The 34 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so the price is consolidating. It seems like the market is going to reach the nearest support at 1.1712 - 1.1683.

EUR/USD: POSSIBLE WEDGE PATTERN 12:33 21.08.2017
The price has been consolidating since an impulse in wave [iii] finished. It seems like we could have a zigzag in wave [iv]. So, we could have another bearish impulse in wave (c) of [iv] pretty soon.
There's a possible wedge pattern in wave (a) of [iv]. Therefore, we could have wave (b), which is likely going to take the form of a double zigzag. In this case, we should keep an eye on 6/8 MM Level as an intraday bullish target.

EUR/USD: BEARISH "DOJI" 13:27 21.08.2017
We've got a bearish "Doji" on the 34 Moving Average, but confirmation of this pattern isn't enough. So, the price is likely going to test the closest support area, which could be a departure point for an upward price movement.

The lower "Window" has acted as support, so we've got an "Inverted Hammer". However, the price couldn't break the upper "Window", so bears are likely going to test the nearest support once again.
We've got a local bullish "Harami", which hasn't been confirmed yet. So, the price is likely going to test the closest resistance. If a pullback from this level happens, we could have just another decline.

OIL (WTI) FAVORED BY THE BEARS 01:32 22.08.2017
Oil (WTI) didn’t achieve to consolidate its gains above the 200 SMA at H1 chart and around that area, it found dynamic resistance; a move that was confirmed with a double top pattern. The Fibonacci area of 50% and 65% has been providing the enough supply to make a sell-off in the crude and it’s now heading to lower levels.
If the crude oil manages to break below August 17th lows, we can expect further weakness towards -23.6% at 45.57. RSI indicator remains in the negative territory, favoring to the bears.

XAU/USD: INDIANS WILL SHOW WAY FOR GOLD 10:55 22.08.2017
Recommendation: SELL $1280 SL $1296 TP $1264 TP2 $1250
On the daily chart, XAU/USD managed to return inside the bullish medium-term uptrend channel. Successful test of resistance at $1297 will trigger AB=CD pattern. Its 200% is near $1385. On the other hand, failure will allow bears to seize the initiative.
On H1, XAU/USD formed a reversal pattern: a combination of “Three Indians” and 1-2-3. A break below correction low at the point 2 will signal the start of corrective move. There’s also diagonal resistance at 23.6% of the last bullish wave.

GBP/USD: BEARS GOING TO TEST NEAREST SUPPORT 10:41 22.08.2017
The price is consolidating between the levels 1.2830 - 1.2911. Meanwhile, bears are likely going to test the nearest support at 1.2853. If we have a pullback from this level, there'll be an option to have a bullish price movement in the direction of the next resistance at 1.2932 - 1.2951.

GBP/USD: BULLS SHOWED WEAKNESS 09:08 23.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 1.2845
SL 1.29
TP1 1.2665
On the daily chart, GBP/USD keeps forming the shark pattern with the target at 113%. It is situated near 1.2767 (38.2% of the last descending wave). The inability of the bulls to return the quotes inside the medium-term uptrend channel points at their weakness. In such environment, it makes sense to sell the pound on rallies.
On H1, GBP/USD formed 2 areas where players accumulated short positions: 1.2950-1.3025 and 1.2845-1.2910. A retest of the lower border of the previous consolidation range will allow bears to continue the decline.

USD/CAD: BEARS GOT SCARED OF A SHARK 09:15 23.08.2017
Recommendation:
SELL 1.2675
SL 1.273
TP1 1,2575
TP2 1.249
TP3 1.245
On the daily chart, USD/CAD keeps forming the 5-0 pattern. Recoil from convergence area at 1.2737-1.2765 allowed bears to try to resume the downtrend. If the pair renews low at 1.2525, it will increase odds of the continuation of the decline. On the other hand, if prices leave the short-term descending trend channel, a consolidation between 1.2525 and 1.2765 may develop.
On H1, a successful attack on resistance at 1.2595-1.2610 will trigger the inverse “Shark” pattern with 88.6% target. The inability of bulls to hold the pair above 1.2595 will point at their weakness.

GBP/USD: MARKET GOING TO TEST NEXT SUPPORT 10:45 23.08.2017
Bears faced support at 1.2811, so the price is consolidating. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the next support at 1.2793 - 1.2768 in the coming hours. If a pullback from this area happens little later on, bulls will have a green light to reach the nearest resistance at 1.2830 - 1.2853.
The last "Double Top" pattern led to a massive decline. The main intraday target is the closest support 1.2793 - 1.2768. If we have a pullback from these levels, there'll be an option to have a bullish price movement in the direction of the nearest resistance at 1.2831 - 1.2853.
