Rupee one pager report for target of 63.7 - 67.6 till 59 holds on weekly closing basis


Looking at the above Chart Rupee is forming Bull Flag pattern Formation where it has just tested the lower level trend line and showing sign of reversal and is expected to test the higher trend line of the Flag which is expected at point E at 60.50 per dollar. Sustain closing above 60.50 per $ on closing basis will given a confirmation of the Bull Flag Pattern Breakout. Looking at the Height of the Pole which is from 53.60 per Dollar base to the top of 60.70 per Dollar, difference comes to 7.1 (63.6 - 60.7 = 7.1)
            I am looking a Bull Flag pattern Break out at point E of 60.50 per$ and crossover above the same can add the difference of the pole which is 7.1 bringing to the target of 67.6 per$ in near to medium term. After the break out I am expecting it to take minor resistance at 63.7 per$ and then will move to test the higher level of 67.6 which will be the ultimate target.
Correction might be seen only if sustain closing is seen below 59 per $ on weekly closing and failure of the Bull flag pattern formation which will be void. 

1.     Sharp Move: To be considered a continuation pattern, there should be evidence of a prior trend. Flags and pennants require evidence of a sharp advance or decline on heavy volume. These moves usually occur on heavy volume and can contain gaps. This move usually represents the first leg of a significant advance or decline and the flag/pennant is merely a pause.
2.     Flagpole: The flagpole is the distance from the first resistance or support break to the high or low of the flag/pennant. The sharp advance (or decline) that forms the flagpole should break a trend line or resistance/support level. A line extending up from this break to the high of the flag/pennant forms the flagpole.
3.     Flag: A flag is a small rectangle pattern that slopes against the previous trend. If the previous move was up, then the flag would slope down. If the move was down, then the flag would slope up. Because flags are usually too short in duration to actually have reaction highs and lows, the price action just needs to be contained within two parallel trend lines.
4.     Pennant: A pennant is a small symmetrical triangle that begins wide and converges as the pattern matures (like a cone). The slope is usually neutral. Sometimes there will not be specific reaction highs and lows from which to draw the trend lines and the price action should just be contained within the converging trend lines.
5.     Duration: Flags and pennants are short-term patterns that can last from 1 to 12 weeks. There is some debate on the timeframe and some consider 8 weeks to be pushing the limits for a reliable pattern. Ideally, these patterns will form between 1 and 4 weeks. Once a flag becomes more than 12 weeks old, it would be classified as a rectangle. A pennant more than 12 weeks old would turn into a symmetrical triangle. The reliability of patterns that fall between 8 and 12 weeks is debatable.
6.     Break: For a bullish flag or pennant, a break above resistance signals that the previous advance has resumed. For a bearish flag or pennant, a break below support signals that the previous decline has resumed.
7.     Volume: Volume should be heavy during the advance or decline that forms the flagpole. Heavy volume provides legitimacy for the sudden and sharp move that creates the flagpole. An expansion of volume on the resistance (support) break lends credence to the validity of the formation and the likelihood of continuation.
8.     Targets: The length of the flagpole can be applied to the resistance break or support break of the flag/pennant to estimate the advance or decline.

GBPUSD breakdown of Bear Flag Pattern Tgt 1.4405 - 1.3700



Bear Flag is a sharp, strong volume decline, several days of sideways to higher price action on much weaker volume followed by a second, sharp decline to new lows on strong volume. 
The technical target for a bear flag pattern is derived by subtracting the height of the flag pole from the eventual breakout level at point (e). 
Even though flags and pennants are common formations, identification guidelines should not be taken lightly. It is important that flags and pennants are preceded by a sharp advance or decline. Without a sharp move, the reliability of the formation becomes questionable and trading could carry added risk. Look for volume confirmation on the initial move, consolidation and resumption to augment the robustness of pattern identification.
Bearish flags are comprised of higher tops and higher bottoms. "Bear" flags also have a tendency to slope against the trend. Their trendlines run parallel as well.

  • Sharp Move: To be considered a continuation pattern, there should be evidence of a prior trend. Flags and pennants require evidence of a sharp advance or decline on heavy volume. These moves usually occur on heavy volume and can contain gaps. This move usually represents the first leg of a significant advance or decline and the flag/pennant is merely a pause.
  • Flagpole: The flagpole is the distance from the first resistance or support break to the high or low of the flag/pennant. The sharp advance (or decline) that forms the flagpole should break a trend line or resistance/support level. A line extending up from this break to the high of the flag/pennant forms the flagpole.
  • Flag: A flag is a small rectangle pattern that slopes against the previous trend. If the previous move was up, then the flag would slope down. If the move was down, then the flag would slope up. Because flags are usually too short in duration to actually have reaction highs and lows, the price action just needs to be contained within two parallel trend lines.
  • Break: For a bullish flag or pennant, a break above resistance signals that the previous advance has resumed. For a bearish flag or pennant, a break below support signals that the previous decline has resumed.

Targets: The length of the flagpole can be applied to the resistance break or support break of the flag/pennant to estimate the advance or decline.
Looking at the chart GBPUSD is trading below the critical support of 1.5115 and is expected to give a sharp continuation of down trend from current level. If the resistance of 1.5200 is holding and sustain trading is seen below 1.5000 will continue in negative trend where on lower side it will move and test the lower level where it can test the level of 1.4400 and 1.3700 support level.  It has given breakdown at 1.5115 where point E is expected to test and sustain trading below 1.5050 will confirming the down side breakdown of the Bear Flag Pattern. Height of the Pole is 1420 Pips (1.6250 – 1.4830). Immediately it is expected to test support at 1.5050 and Bear flag pattern breakdown is expected at same level. Sustain trading below 1.5050 will bring lower level target of 1.3700[(1.6250-1.4830)-1.5115] height of the Pole from the Breakdown point of 1.5115 level.


This is the previous sell call which was published on 7th June and above report is the continuation of the same with further lower targets and the level are expected to be seen in medium to long term.
