USDCAD Likely To Test 1.3000 Amid Stubborn BOC and Risk ON Mood!

The main chart shows the WEEKLY TF of USDCAD pair. There was a neat ascending channel that was violated a few months ago and the price went to test around 1.30200 level. Since then the price has been steadily rising until it HIT 1.33600 level. This created a short term ascending channel which was clearly violated a couple of days back and now the price is likely to target 1.3000 level.

The above chart shows the DAILY TF of USDCAD, which shows the channel has been violated and its potential target!

The main chart shows the price has been confined in a triangle and the price is likely to target the lower end of the trendline which lies at around 1.3000 level.

To support this technical aspects, the fundamental aspects also align neatly together. First of all the Bank of CANADA left the interest unchanged and continue their wait and see approach rather than just easing like the other central banks. This is bullish for the LOONIE, however i feel the price will hit 1.3000 level after which the bank will start to be dovish and the price will likely bounce and test the 1.34000 level in the future. To add to this, the demand for OIL at the moment is adequate as the talks of trade deal continue. Since OIL is the major driver behind this CAD pair, if the talks continue to progress well we could see LOONIE get stronger.

I am already short on USDCAD since 3 months ago when the main weekly channel broke, however the price only HIT 1.30200 level before reversing. My take profit at the moment is 1.3000 with SL at 1.34000. Should you wish to enter you can do so if and only if the RR is 1 or greater than 1. Cheers
