GBP CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSGBP FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: WEAK BEARISH BASELINE The overall bleak economic outlook for the UK, with exceptionally high Inflation and rapidly falling growth have been the biggest negative driver for Sterling. With rising price pressures and falling demand, the risks of stagflation has risen substantially, so much so that the BoE have forecasted a possible recession for the UK economy heading into 2023. At their June meeting the bank followed through with their more moderate approach by hiking 25bsp instead of growing calls of a potential 50bsp hike. The BoE is stuck between a rock and a hard place, right now they have to hike rates to try and fight inflation but by doing so they risk further damaging economic growth as a result. Even though the June statement was dovish, it wasn’t materially more dovish compared to their previous meeting. The price action was a clear warning sign that a lot of negatives has been priced in for Sterling in recent weeks so chasing lower is very risky right now. It also means we would favour upside opportunities on solid bullish short-term catalysts. POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES Stagflation fears are very high for the UK, with probabilities of recession growing by the week. With so much bad news priced in, incoming news risk is asymmetrical, meaning positive surprises in growth data could trigger strong bullish reactions. The UK is facing one of its biggest cost of living squeezes in history, lower-than-expected inflation could counterintuitively be a positive driver for the currency (lower CPI means less stagflation risk). The economy needs help right now, which means any help from the fiscal side will be a positive. Any major fiscal support measures to help consumers (subsidies for energy or tax cuts) could trigger bullish reactions for the Pound. We have lots of BoE speak next week, and any overly hawkish comments signalling more aggressive policy than what markets are currently pricing in (see our Rate Tracker for STIR expectations) could trigger bullish GBP reactions. POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES Monetary policy is a double-edged sword for the GBP. Odds that the BoE has limited hikes left has been a negative driver, but so too is risks that inflation forces them to hike even more and further damage GDP. Further stagflation risks from higher gas prices or CPI prints could trigger bearish reactions. Politics is also in focus, where any attempts to oust PM Johnson by changing no-confidence laws could trigger bearish reactions. GBP is usually sensitive to political uncertainty and anything that raises odds of a snap election should be negative. With UK threats of triggering Article 16 and EU threats to terminate the Brexit deal if they do Brexit is in focus again. For now, markets have rightly ignored this as posturing, but any actual escalation can see sharp GBP downside. We have lots of BoE speak next week, and any overly dovish comments signalling less aggressive policy than what markets are currently pricing in (see our Rate Tracker for STIR expectations) could trigger bearish GBP reactions. BIGGER PICTURE The fundamental outlook for the GBP remains fairly bleak right now with the economic prospects and risk of stagflation keeping the currency pressured. Anything that exacerbates stagflation fears is expected to weigh on the Pound and anything that alleviates some of that pressure should be positive. Positioning has been looking stretched to the downside, so any new shorts do need to be weary of the risk of some mean reversion, and also means we would favour upside on strong bullish catalysts. CAD FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL BASELINE The CAD has enjoyed far more upside in the past few weeks than we anticipated. We’ve been cautious on the currency given Canada’s dependency on the US (>70% of exports) where the clear signs of a faster than expected slowdown and possible recession should deteriorate the growth outlook for Canada. Apart from that, the risks to the Canadian housing market can negatively impact consumer spending as interest rates rise higher at aggressive speed. Potentially damaging the wealth effect created by the rapid rise in house prices since covid. However, despite the risks to the economy and the outlook, markets still price in a very favourable growth environment for Canada, also supported by a big push higher in terms of trade due to the rise in commodity prices. Furthermore, despite clear warning signals, the BoC has chosen to ignore the negatives and has stayed surprisingly optimistic and hawkish. We’ve missed most of the move higher in the CAD as our bias has kept us cautious, but the risks are still present and with the currency close to 9-year highs (at the index level) we are looking for opportunities to trade it lower on bearish catalyst. POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES As an oil exporter, oil prices are important for CAD. Catalysts that see further upside in Oil (deteriorating supply outlook, ease in demand fears) could trigger bullish CAD reactions. The correlation has been hit and miss in recent weeks though. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the CAD. With more market participants noticing cracks in the housing markets, a less dramatic decline in house prices could ease some of those concerns and provide some upside. Even though lots of tightening has been priced for the BoC , big enough upside surprise in CPI or incoming jobs data (showing the jobs market is holding up good) that triggers further hike expectations could provide some short-term upside. POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES As an oil exporter, oil prices are important for CAD. Any catalyst that triggers meaningful downside in oil (deteriorating demand outlook, ease in supply shortage, less supply constraints) could be a negative catalyst for the CAD as well. As a risk sensitive currency, and catalyst that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the CAD. Since a lot of policy tightening has been priced into STIR markets, any negative catalysts that triggers less hawkish BoC expectations (faster deceleration in growth, inflation or jobs) could trigger outsized downside for the CAD. In recent communication, Governor Macklem started to mention some hiccups in housing. Big downside surprises in house prices could trigger speculation of a less hawkish bank and trigger downside for the CAD. BIGGER PICTURE The bigger picture outlook for the CAD remains neutral for now. Given the clear risks to the growth outlook due to the slowdown in the US, as well as rising risks to the consumer and the housing market, we remain cautious on the currency, even though it’s moved much higher than we anticipated. With a lot of good news priced in for the CAD and yields, our preferred way of trading the CAD is lower on short-term negative catalysts.

GBPCAD - Catch This Massive Swing 🚀GBPCAD is currently in a big ABC correction. We saw a really complex midsection (wave B). We are now looking for bullish price action to catch wave C, which is going to be a massive 2500pips. Trade Idea: - we are currently seeing a brief retracement on lower timeframe. Watch for that to complete and bullish price action to appear - When bullish price action appears, enter with stops below the lows - Targets: 1.66 (1100pips), 1.76 (2100pips), 1.8 (2500pips) Please be cautious when trading GBPCAD as its really volatile. Goodluck and as always, trade safe!

GBPCAD Rejected on the 1D MA50. Action plan ahead.The GBPCAD pair has been trading within a Falling Wedge pattern, which broke last Thursday to the upside. So far this move has been short-lived as the price got rejected on Friday on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and continues today this trend. While the 1D price action has been on Lower Lows (Falling Wedge's bottom), the RSI has been on Higher Lows, indicating a hidden bullish divergence. The very same divergence was last seen in November/ early December 2021 with the pair trading again within a Falling Wedge. After again a 1D MA50 rejection, the price made an pull-back, then upside fake-out above the 1D MA50, which was still rejected on the Resistance of the previous Lower High, before finally making a Lower Low. That Low led to the true technical break-out that extended as high as the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). Right now the 0.618 Fib is around 1.66500. Our trading plan is to either buy on the previous Lower Low (around 1.5500) or if the 1.62100 Resistance level breaks first, and target the 0.618 Fib, which by the time will be on or above the 1D MA200, fulfilling the fractal analogy. An alternative to take profit on those buys would be when the RSI hits its Resistance level. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GBPCAD | BEARISH TRADE OPPORTUNITY- GBPCAD is on a strong DOWNTREND on the higher time frames. - The weekly has broken through the previous low and a new bearish engulfing candle is currently developing. - On a 4-hourly TF, we are seeing the closure of a bearish engulfing candlestick while all MA20-50 & 100 are trending above the price, suggesting bear pressure. - Hedge funds are also selling off GBP, while CAD is increasing. So the overall setup looks good for a short trade opportunity.

GBPCAD on a double bottom retracement 🦐GBPCAD on the 4h chart reached as expected the daily support at the 1.58 area. The price tested the area 3 times creating double / triple bottom over the support and can now look for some short time retracement to upside even though the main trend remains bearish on the weekly timeframe. How can i approach this scenario? I will wait for the London market open and check for a possible move to the upside. If the price will then break above the descending trendline i will look for a nice long order according to the Plancton's Academy rules. ––––– Follow the Shrimp 🦐 Keep in mind. 🟣 Purple structure -> Monthly structure. 🔴 Red structure -> Weekly structure. 🔵 Blue structure -> Daily structure. 🟡 Yellow structure -> 4h structure. ⚫️ Black structure -> <4h structure.

GBPCAD Strong buy opportunity for the rest of the year.Back in February, which was our last GBPCAD idea, the pair was trading within a Channel Down that offered us an accurate sell trade: Since then, the pattern broke to the downside and the pair now sits at more than -9% from its February 21 High. This however gives a new high probability pattern on the long-term as both the price action on the 1D time-frame and the 1D RSI suggests that it may be replicating the sell-off sequence of May 06 2019 - August 09 2019. That fractal bottomed after dropping around -10.50%. If however the price enters the red Ichimoku Cloud first, it will turn into a sell opportunity on the spot. In that case you can use the Fibonacci retracement levels as shorter-term targets (see how those got systematically filled with Higher Highs during the 2019 recovery) but on the long run, we do expect the 1.7378 Resistance to get hit. Draw the Fibonacci levels from the -10.40% level if the price doesn't enter the Ichimoku first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GBPCAD: Price Arrives at the Bottom of the Horizontal ChannelSince 2016, GBPCAD has been moving in a wide horizontal channel. Recently, GBPCAD has reached the bottom of the range at the level of 1.5900. We can clearly see that many reversals have occurred from this level. Observing the weekly chart, reversals have all occurred through forming clear bullish candlestick patterns. Therefore, we are currently waiting to see a bullish candlestick pattern being formed. If formed, this could give us a high probability swing buy opportunity.

GBPCAD a turn at the 0.382 🦐GBPCAD on the 4h chart after the last bearish leg retraced exactly at the 0.382 Fibonacci level. The price is now testing again the daily support at the 1.63400 level.
