British Pound / Swiss Franc[/B]
As focused on in recent weeks, a triangle seems to be underway as a 4th wave. Triangles consist of 5 waves (a-b-c-d-e) and waves a through c are complete at this point. Wave d is unfolding now towards triangle support / which is near 1.6500. There is the chance that the recent down up sequence actually completes the triangle so there is a short opportunity against 1.7496. The objective is below 1.5113…

1.67 to 1.86 has been the range thus far in 2009 for the GBPCAD. Most recently, the pair rolled over from a double top at 1.84. Price has pierced the 3/11 low and it is possible that the GBPCAD is completing an expanded flat from the January high. 1.7344 is the 61.8% of the move from 1.6711. This is level is potential support.

British Pound / Australian Dollar[/B]
The GBPAUD continues lower and the larger trend is down as long as price is below 2.2880. Near term strength is possible in a correction and resistance begins at 2.0912. Wait for a countertrend advance to play out before attempting a short.

British Pound / New Zealand Dollar[/B]
GBPNZD waves are quite clear at the current juncture. A multi-year triangle is complete at 2.8968. Confirming completion of the triangle is the decline from 2.8968, which exhibits the 5 wave impulse pattern. The pair reversed from the lower end of the Fibonacci range, so expect the decline to continue.
