Butterfly price targets

Trading the Butterfly pattern

A Butterfly chart pattern was in today's Forex trading session in the EUR/USD on the 5 min chart (last chart).

The Euro found resistance at the 127 % butterfly sell target (5 min chart) and from there the EUR/USD went straight to the 161 % butterfly pattern target. The consolidation price zone of the triangle pattern (hourly chart) and the hourly 200 SMA also gave some support at the 161 % butterfly pattern target at around 1.2940.

On the 4-hour chart we see an Evening Star pattern.

The Euro found support at the monthly pivot and resistance at the daily pivot. On the 5 min chart we see a nice bull flag at 12.30 p.m.. Market also found support at the uprising trend line (green) on the 5 min chart. The downward sloping 20 SMA (purple line) on the hourly provided only temporary resistance during the formation of the right shoulder of the head and shoulders formation.

On the 5 min EUR/USD chart we see many Continuation patterns (green ellipses). The ongoing trend paused during these continuation patterns (mainly Flags and Pennants)  until the Continuation pattern got terminated (mostly after three swings).

The 5 min and the hourly Chart also show how market reversed at the daily Pivot Point.<
