Forecast for August 18th, 2011
EUR/USD
The EUR/USD currency pair has almost reached all targets of the hourly rising pattern. At the moment there is some risk that the pair will fall down to the channel’s lower border in the area of 1.3700. The price is testing the channel’s upper border, which, in this case, is a resistance level. The price testing the trend’s descending line at the RSI is an additional signal, we should expect the price to rebound and start moving downwards. But if the price breaks the channel’s upper border and leaves it, this case scenario will be cancelled.
At the H1 chart we can see that the pair has left the rising pattern, one can try the tight stop sales. The closest target of the fall is the area of 1.4205. But if the price reaches a new local maximum, this case scenario will be cancelled and we will recommend you to close short positions.

But if the price breaks the resistance level in the area of 1.6475, this case scenario will be cancelled.
