GBP/CHF Double Bottom
After SNB decided to drop the 1.2000 EUR/CHF floor the price action on CHF crosses has been distorted however we can still find a way to guide us through the current mess by simple using support and resistance level and the box trading ranges (see Figure 1). GBP/CHF as being a cross pair has a lot of tendency to consolidate and we can find more often it's moving inside this range boxes.
Based on the Monthly chart we can spot a big double bottom that is ta…

NZD/CAD Downward Channel

NZD/JPY Sustained Bullish Trend
Since mid 2012 NZD/JPY has started to move in an healthy and sustained bullish trend(see Figure 1) which ultimately will have to retest the 2007 all time high.

If we look on the weekly chart we can see that there is no resistance to stop the price from further advancing so it's wise to assum…
