USDCAD - Bullish turned Bearish BiasHey Guys
I have been long this pair but USD weakness has forced me to close my position, just above break even.
Profit taking should push for a re-test before a continued move lower.
Expect low volumes during Thanksgiving, but bigger volatility if market makers from europe / asia start dumping positions
USD/CAD Bearish "5-0" pattern.Thought it was only right since I published AUD analysis this morning I publish CAD as well enjoy :)
A bearish 5-0 pattern formed on the daily chart. This pattern is also supported by demand zones on both the Daily and Weekly timeframe (only daily demand/supply present on the chart as overlapped).
Extended target PT = 1.21527
Happy trading :)

UsdCad - Bull FlagLast week UsdCad bounced from key support at 1.24488 stopping just short of the target at 1.26491. This week we look for a Bull flag correction, and possible test of intermediate support at 1.25207, in order to initiate longs up to the initial target of 1.26491 and a possible breakout clearing the way for the second target at the 1.27730 area of resistance.
USDCAD New lows formedUSDCAD has been in a downtrend for some time now. I have marked out a few key areas here and today saw NFP break the monthly resistance. If we remain below this and the yellow highlighted area we could potentially see further downside from this. However we may see price recover and potentially be in for another bounce from the trend line. I have also marked out a possible few targets for this should we see more bullish movement.
CAD/HKD 1H Chart: Channel UpCAD/HKD 1H Chart: Channel Up
The Canadian Dollar is trading against the Hong Kong Dollar in a two week long ascending channel that started to form after the currency rate left a preceding ascending channel.
This pattern is not usual, as it consists of many reaction highs and only one reaction low.
The reason behind such distinctiveness is attributed to a strength exercised by the 55- and 100-hour SMAs or a combination of them both.
To put differently, five day in a row these technical indicators do not let the pair to slip to the bottom.
This means the exchange rate is going to soar at least until the weekly R1 at 6.2592, which might force the pair make a rebound.
However, as long as the above SMAs are moving together, it is doubtful that the pair will manage to cross them.
USD/CAD trades around 1.2676Daily outlook - USD/CAD trades around 1.2676
Tuesday’s evening the currency exchange rate spent in an expected horizontal movement along the 55-hour SMA towards the bottom trend-line of an active ascending channel.
At some moment, the pair has entered into a four hour downfall and has practically sneaked from the pattern.
However, a combination of the above support line and moving average should be enough to force the pair to change direction.
As 70% of traders continue to hold long positions, in the short run the Greenback is expected to continue to appreciate against the Loonie towards the weekly R1 at 1.2238.
The summary of technical indicators supports this scenario by sending clear buy signal.
But even if the pair oversteps the pattern’s boundary, the drop should not go below the monthly PP at 1.2636 and the 100-hour SMA.
CAD/JPY 1H Chart: Channel DownCAD/JPY 1H Chart: Channel Down
The British Pound is trading against the Swiss Franc in a short-term pennant formation.
The pattern represents the aftereffect of announcement of the UK Official Bank Rate and the subsequent Governor Carney’s speech last week.
By the early morning, the currency exchange rate has practically reached the breakout point from the little symmetrical triangle, which represents the pennant.
Despite the pressure exercised by the 200-hour SMA from the bottom, the pair is still expected to slide downwards.
The overall length of the flag pole should be equal to 50-70 basis points, which basically coincides with the nearest combined support level set up by the weekly S1 at 1.2619 and the monthly PP at 1.2614.
After this continuation pattern ceases to exist, the rate most likely is going to make a rebound and the Sterling will start to restore lost positions.
USDCAD BUY THE PULLBACKHi everyone:
MY last USDCAD trade post did not execute due to no breakout of the wedge. Today, we are seeing another opportunity on USDCAD Long. The price action has recently found support at key support area of 1.2500. Similar like my other post on GBPCAD, we are seeing some bearish momentum in the CAD and a pullback on the daily time frames are happening this week,
On the 4 hr chart of USDCAD, a recent double bottoms and a breakout are all signaling a bullish momentum coming in. Entering at the higher low confirmation is a good idea for a daily pullback to 38.20% fib level.
Thank you for your support and feedback.
