Euro Dollar Analysis – Aug 18
There is a band of resistance between 1.4120-1.4140 which so far has held. There was a downward break from a longer term pattern yesterday, and this is the likely pullback point after the breakout.
Targets to the downside are 1.4040, the recent swing low, followed by 1.4000 and 1.3960-1.3950.
A strong move up warns of a bear trap on the downside break from the longer term pattern. Resistance to the upside is at 1.4180 and 1.4250. A rose above this is unexpected and would likely result in a sharp rise higher over the coming days.

USD/JPY – Aug 18
Based on trendlines and previous pullbacks the pair is likely to push into the 95.20-95.40 area. A push above this indicates further strength over the coming days.
If that area holds a swing lower is very likely. Support is at 94.50, 94.20-94.00. Targets beyond this are unlikely to be hit today but the first is at 93.40.

USD/Canadian Dollar Forecast – Resistance Level Cracks
In an accelerated uptrend the pair briefly broke through resistance at 1.1100. Early trading has provided support and is creating a bullish continuation pattern. A push back above 1.1100 gives early warning of a swing higher but will be comfirmed if rates move beyond 1.1130.
Resistance on the way up is just below 1.1100.
A drop below 1.1020 signals selling of the USD pushing the rate down. 1.0970 is the support beyond.
