The long-term upwards trend is still entirely intact. Last week was a bullish reversal candle, but it only closed about halfway up its range, so it is not a very reliable bullish sign.
Begin the trading week with a signal for the EUR/USD pair here.
Gold prices fell for the week as investors continued to price in the Federal Reserve’s possible trimming of its massive stimulus later this year. The XAU/USD pair has seen quite a selloff recently as the market conditions (both technically and fundamentally) have been working against gold.

Last Wednesday, the price did actually close lower than the previous Friday’s low. However, the daily candle did not close within the lowest quartile of its range, now was this low broken the next day.
The EUR/USD pair rallied during the session on Friday, but as you can see gave back about half of the gains in order to form a shooting star. The shooting star is sitting just above a significant support zone in the form of the 1.35 handle, so I'm not particularly concerned about any weakness that the Euro could show at this point.
The USD/JPY pair rallied again during the session on Friday, to bump up against the bottom of the triangle that I have been talking about recently. The real question now becomes whether or not it is a true triangle, or is simply a failed pattern.
The AUD/USD pair rose during the session on Friday, but as you can see still struggles to get above the 0.95 handle. This area is significant resistance, so it doesn't surprise me although we continue to meander just below it.
The USD/CAD pair fell during the session on Friday, as the 1.04 level offered far too much resistance for the buyers. The candle following the way it did of course suggests that the sellers took over, and it does in fact make the hammer from the Thursday session a hanging man.

Gold prices continued to decline yesterday on speculations that there will be some kind of an agreement between the Democrats and Republicans before the October 17 deadline.
The WTI Crude Oil markets rose during the session on Thursday, bouncing off of the support area that we see at the $101 region that has been so supportive lately. This is simply a continuation of the supportive area that we've seen for a couple of weeks now, and as a result I think that this market will continue to grind in a somewhat sideways manner.
The EUR/USD pair went back and forth during the session on Thursday, but found the 1.35 area to be supportive again, and as a result it's difficult to imagine shorting this market going forward. In fact, I think that even if we fall lower, the 1.34 area will continue to be supportive as well.

The bounce formed a nice looking hammer, but this is simply the next hammer or tight trading range for the market in a long string of them.
The GBP/USD pair fell during the session on Thursday, but bounced off of the 1.5925 area in order to form a little bit of a hammer. This hammer is sitting right on top of the gap from the beginning of September, and as a result it doesn't surprise me to see this support show up.
The USD/JPY pair rose during the session on Thursday, slamming into the bottom of the previous triangle, so now we have to ask whether or not the market is negating the triangle, or it is simply returning to the site of the breakdown and looking to retest it for resistance.
