Euro-USD: 3 September 2012, Monday, 9.30am

What a week we had last friday with Bernanke's speech at Jackson hole eh? The volatility was extreme, up and down 60pips within minutes.

For this coming week, it is a tough call. I do not know whether to be a bull or bear. The price action is calling for both directions!! Why? Lets begin with the daily chart. The daily charts shows a bearish price action.

On the daily chart, we see:
1. Price action is bearish with a clearly defined falling channel with 3 confirmed points
2. Price is touching potential point 4 for this week
3. Pivot zone resistance from 15th Jan 2012 at 1.2650

On the 4hr chart, we see:
1. Price action is bullish with a rising channel with also 3 confirmed points
2. 1.2420-40 could be a new support zone

So what is the key to this dilemma? I think the key battle may be 1.2650.  

Bull traders:
1. Price must break above and stay above 1.2650 
2. Price to stay within 4hr rising channel 
3. Price to touch rising channel to form point 4 to create a 4th higher low in order to break above 1.2650

Bear traders:
1. Price fails to break above 1.2650
2. Reversal patterns such as double top or head and shoulders to form on 1hr or 4hr chart
3. Price must not form a point 4 on 4hr rising channel
4. Price must break out from the 4hr rising channel
