USDCAD Short After NFP
Updated
USDCAD Short - Daily Timeframe
Entry - 1.305
TP - 1.285 - 200 pips
SL - 1.315 - 100 pips
Disclaimer- I will ordinarily avoid trading around or near NFP, but I'm making an exception this time around, which could turn out to be a bad move. I've been in and out of shorts on USDCAD for a while now, but this looks like an opportunity to capitalize on a larger move down.
Fundamentals:
- Oil prices continue to rally with an unsettled US-Iran situation.
- US Hourly earnings and NFP numbers missed projections.
- Canadian unemployment rate and new change in employment beat expectations.
- Central bank interest rates are even at 1.75%.
- Majority of retail traders on Myfxbook (86%) are long.
Technicals:
- Price broke out and retested a long-term ascending trendline.
- Price on the daily timeframe is below the Ichimoku Cloud, 200 MA (blue line), and 30 EMA (green line).
- Made LL last week.
We'll see how it goes. It's possible I'll have missed an opportunity to enter at a more favorable price. Didn't open a huge position- risking 2% if SL is hit.
Thanks for looking,
