EURUSD
EURUSD continues to range between 1.1700 and 1.1960. September formed a bearish engulfing candle that is still intact and in play.
EURUSD sold off from 50% Fibonacci retracement. We should keep in mind that the bullish wedge breakout on the monthly time frame is still intact. A pullback is still a possibility.
As long as the price remains above the multiyear wedge on the monthly time frame, a higher EURUSD In the coming weeks is what I would expect.
A close below 1.1700 and 1.1650 might send the EUR down to 1.150/1.1450 (wedge support). A buy signal from the wedge support zone will send the price higher towards 1.1960 and 1.2350.

GBPUSD
The cable remains bearish after breaking out of a rising wedge on the 7th of September after breaking below the 1.2980 support level. The cable is consolidating again, gearing up for a further move south, at least that is what the price action puts at.
The current consolidation is an ascending channel or a bear flag. A break below 1.286 channel support will expose 1.279/1.280, 1.264 followed by 1.245.
Alternatively, a close above 1.2980 will expose 1.325, a break of which will expose 1.350.

NZDUSD
The kiwi is in the same place as the GBPUSD. NZDUSD broke free from a rising wedge on the 22nd of September, sold off below 0.6660 in a 163 pips move, and rose into a potential bear flag. Currently, the price is near the channel support of 0.6565.
A daily close below the channel support might open the door to 0.6400, followed by 0.620. 0.620 is the measured objective of the rising wedge.
Alternatively, a buy signal from 0.6565 might send the pair in the opposite direction towards the channel resistance 0.66840, with a break above that exposing the September high of 0.6780.

XAUUSD
Gold formed a fake breakout. Last week I wrote about that rising wedge however, if we redraw the top of the wedge starting from 2015.57 high, we will still have a perfect wedge. Resistance comes in around 1910/1918 confluence of resistance zone. Support comes in around the 1850/1830 area.
Given the nature of this consolidation, one can either choose to trade from high to low, depending on where we get a buy or sell signal. Alternatively, one can decide to wait for a breakout from the top of the wedge, for a move into 1970,2015 and possibly 2075.
