USD/CAD is failing to muster much strength after its fall to start the year; looking for it to trade lower.

EUR/USD nears support, broader bearish pattern coming into view
The Euro is trying to come off a top-side test of a trend-line from March, but even if it does the outlook is mired by choppy price action. There is a tilt higher to the chart, but overall within the context of the broader one-year trend a bear-flag is coming into view. It won’t be validated though until the lower trend-line from November is broken.

USD/CAD short-term price action suggests more weakness soon
The plunge to start the year is failing to find any takers to push USD/CAD back higher. The tepid recovery is taking on the shape of a bear-flag and setting up for price to extend lower to the February trend-line, 200-day combo.

Gold breaking out of triangle, levels to watch
Gold is cracking down out of a triangle and headed for a test of the upper parallel dating back to the summer, along with this lies a trend-line from November and the low from the day which kicked off the development of the triangle. A break below 1276 will be needed to accelerate the move lower.
