EUR/USD wedged



The Euro is wedged in between a flat Resistance Line and a mildly rising Support Line. It is likely to dip back to the Support Line now, but what will happen next? It must break through either the Support or the Resistance in the not too distant future. Perhaps the imminent rise in FED interest rate (which punters apparently expect by December) will be enough to push the graph down through the Support.

NASDAQ in steady uptrend now



Nasdaq strikes a stable uptrend, only mildly threatened by a FED rate hike. Expect a flat top till it hits the bottom of the green Current Range.

GBP/USD: Is this the Bottom? EUR/USD continues up




Great Britain has not left the EU.
 
No changes have been made to the treaties, and when the changes are eventually negotiated, very little in the way of trading arrangements will be altered.
 
However, after the referendum went the wrong way, British and European leaders hopped around like headless chickens, and capitalists pulled massive amounts out of the British economy. So the GBP (blue graph), instead of bouncing back as I had expected, continued to fall until now. There are signs that it has hit a bottom at last. It remains to be seen if it will make a recovery of any significance.
 
Meanwhile, the Euro  (amber graph) continues is upward trend.
