Over the last couple of weeks, the EUR/USD pair has done almost nothing. I think that will probably continue to be the way going forward, and the only thing that I would say about this pair for the month of October is the need to pay attention to the 3 lines I have drawn on this chart.

The EUR/GBP pair has been very bullish for the last several months, mainly in reaction to the vote held in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.

The New Zealand dollar initially trying to start out the month rather positive in September, but as you can see turned right back around every time we rally.

“The Dragon”, as it is known, has seen a very negative downtrend for quite some time. We have seen the 130 level be very supportive, and we did just bounce off of it yet again.

The GBP/USD pair has been bearish for quite some time, essentially since we had the vote to leave the European Union. However, when you look at the weekly chart that I have attached to this market, you can see just how dramatic the downtrend has been.

The New Zealand dollar has been rising for some time now, but when I look at the charts longer-term, I cannot help but notice that we have seen a couple of negative signs in this pair, and I believe that we may see a bit of a dip going forward.

The USD/CAD pair has had a couple of rather unimpressive months, as we continue to go back and forth. However, as you can see on the monthly chart we formed a couple of hammers over the last couple of months, so I believe that it’s only a matter time before we break out to the upside.
