GBP/CAD at retracement level.
Following a large drawdown of 160 pips, the GBP/CAD is at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Previous false breakouts have occurred on the 4th June and 8th June - price action tends to repeat itself so this breakout below the trend channel is likely to be false too. The hourly stochastic is giving an oversold signal, along with the %K line crossing above the %D line, leaving a high probability buy trade. Place a buy stop at 1.708 to confirm the trend, scaling in a position may also be a good choice.
WATCHOUT: both the United Kingdom's and Canada's CPI inflation reports are released this week (Wednesday). Predictions show that disinflation may occur in the UK (0.5% down from 0.8%), potentially leading to more contractionary monetary policy by the BofE. Meanwhile, although rated low-level Canada is predicted to recover from its deflationary period potentially pushing the GBP/CAD down.
