USD/SEK continues to rise inside the Ascending Triangle chart pattern identified by Autochartist on the daily charts. The Overall Quality of this chart pattern is rated at the 5 bar level as a result of the low Initial Trend (3 bars), average Uniformity (5 bars) and higher Clarity (6 bars). This chart pattern continues the medium-term uptrend from the strong support at the round price level 6.0000, which reversed the previous two-year-long downtrend in April of 2011 (shown on the second chart below). The D to B price impulse of this Triangle broke through the longer-term downtrend resistance trendline drawn from the start of the aforementioned preceding long-term downtrend (March of 2009). The following short-term downward correction from point B reversed up to point C from this trendline, acting as support now after having been broken. The pair is expected to rise further toward the upper resistance trendline of this chart pattern.
