Royal Bank of Canada: Bearish Diamond AnticipationRoyal Bank of Canada has confirmed a Diamond Top pattern on the weekly, along with a breaking of the Moving Average. Upon breaking down, I think it will start a move down all the way to the 88.6% Retrace, likely near $46. Since the Diamond is a Neutral pattern and we have not gotten an official breakdown yet, I will still be on the lookout for a breakout in the other direction, but I'm primarily positioned bearishly in puts.

TXBA (Canadian Bank Index) - 60% Countercyclical Short Trade?Hey traders,
Similarly to the US and EU, the Canadian economy is now expressing signals of running into a brick wall.
Canada's yield curve sits on the cusp of inverting for the first time in a decade... banks will increasingly become reluctant to lend as Canada's term structure turns negative. This will impact credit creation, and thus slow down economic growth. The market will begin pricing this in now, and we'll likely have a period of 12-18 months to generate an economic contraction that will significantly influence the price of corporate paper.
Shorting Canadian banks could be a good USD denominated trade as its likely that the USDCAD pair will experience nice strength over the next 12-24 months:
