FLAG

Potential bear flag on NZD/USDThe combination of hawkish Fed speak and firmer inflation has seen the US dollar strengthen overnight. But we're interested in shorting the Kiwi dollar against it, given yesterday's lower forecasts for 2 and 3-year inflation forecasts by RBNZ. It should be noted that RBNZ hold their monetary policy meeting on Wednesday February the 22nd, and there has been call for a 50 or 75bp hike. But that doesn't mean it can't dip lower ahead of the meeting, even if they do go for another aggressive hike - especially if Fed members continue to read from the same hawkish script. NZD/USD has spent nearly 7 days within a sideways channel / consolidation, after an aggressive bearish reversal from its YTD high. A double top has formed around 0.6400 to suggest demand resides in the area, so the bias is now for a bear-flag breakout in line with the momentum which took it into consolidation. - Bears can either seek a break of the cycle low, or the channel around 0.6294 to assume bearish continuation. - The lows around 0.6200 make a likely target for bears and risks a corrective bounce - The eventual target projected form the bearish flag is around 0.6120

Gold - Too good to be true?Hey fellows!!! Gold is still pushing down, On the lower TF we gat what looks like to be a couple of bearish flags breakouts going on. After gold has been trading in a tight ascending range all week, it finally broke the flag down yeasterday following US news, And today, it came back to retest the 1870 level and again, US news kicked in! So here are we now, breaking another flag, to, maybe, go get the 1830ish + level where gold could find some support, so that would be a great target, Reasons that make me think of a fall until the Target Area: 1) Gold getting a lot of selling pressure 2) It broke a bearish flag yesterday, and retested it today 3) It's breaking another flag right now 4) It retested 1870 with an ugly "not in the textbooks" inside bar on H2, nice wicks on H4, several engulfings on H1 5) 1870 was also the 50% fib retracement of the last impulse down move 6) the break of the mother bar in H2 is a signal for a sell, like were the past two H4 candles as well, Ok well again we will see what the market decides to do but hey gold, that a lots of facts that go in favor of a meltdown! Even just temporary, there's only one thing, the 1850 level is on the way. Price bounced on it once, so, it's gat to make it trought otherwise we might see another restet of 1870. But then after that, ther'es virtually no resistance all the way to the Target Area, knowing that there's an imbalance if you look left on gibber TF The whole thing about it is, is it too good to be true or, is it like sometimes it's just like in the textbooks? Market will tell :) Thanks for reading Cheers and happy trading!!!

XAUUSD Like everybody knows Gold has been on the fall lately, responding to dollar strengh A bearish flag is forming on the lower timeframes, we can spot it with the H2 candlesticks, and it's very well detailled on M15-M30. I've put two alerts, one on the green trendline, another on the red, If price breaks higher, then I'll look for entries around the 1900 level after the retracement is done, a bearish pin bar, a bearish engulfing, or an inside bar in the zone If price breaks lower, then i'll look for a break that involves a M15-M30 closed candle on the other side of the red trendine, and place the stop loss above the structure Cheers and trade safe!!!

GOLD: bearish pattern created Hey guys, last week I was bullish on gold, but after the recent PA I changed my bias to short. -First, the price formed the so-called "Bearish Flag" formation, this is a pattern that is a trend continuation and the TP is the duplication from the initial leg. -Second, looking at the DXY I am more for a strong dollar for the near future judging by the recent candles and the strength of the momentum. I won't be rushing to enter a position because gold and DXY are at a very indecisive point right now, so I will wait for a good correction that will at least give me a good RR
