USD/CAD: Awaiting US Retail Sales Amidst Central Bank DivergenceUSD/CAD: Awaiting US Retail Sales Amidst Central Bank Divergence As the European trading session kicks off on Monday, the USD/CAD pair grapples with resistance under the 1.3450 area. The downward pressure on the pair is attributed to a weakening US Dollar (USD), compounded by a less-than-robust US Producer Price Index (PPI) report. Market Dynamics: Elevated expectations of easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed) persist, fueled by the recent decline in the USD and the subdued PPI figures. All eyes are now on the US December Retail Sales data scheduled for Wednesday, with an anticipated MoM increase of 0.4%, compared to November's 0.3%. On the Canadian Dollar (CAD) front, the Bank of Canada (BoC) is widely expected to pivot towards interest rate cuts in the coming year after a series of rate hikes. Speculation suggests that the first rate cuts could occur as early as spring. Technical Analysis: From a technical standpoint, the USD/CAD price remains within the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci Zone, positioning itself for a potential retest of the 200 Moving Average and the Dynamic trendline. The confluence of these indicators raises the possibility of a retest, potentially leading to a new downward push in line with the prevailing main trend. Conclusion: The USD/CAD pair navigates a complex landscape marked by central bank divergence, economic data releases, and technical signals. The USD faces headwinds, fueled by Fed easing expectations and a lackluster PPI report, while the CAD anticipates potential rate cuts by the BoC. Traders will closely monitor the upcoming US Retail Sales data for further insights into the pair's direction, as it grapples with critical technical levels and evolving market dynamics. Our preference Short positions below 1.3530 with targets at 1.3300 & 1.3200 in extension.

USDCAD Breakout and potential retrace with today's CPI.In today's trading session, our focus turns to USDCAD as we anticipate a buying opportunity around the 1.33700 zone. Having recently broken out of its downtrend, the pair is now navigating a correction phase, approaching the critical retrace area at the 1.33700 support and resistance zone. Adding a fundamental perspective to the technical analysis, it's important to note the recent US December core CPI data, which revealed a 3.9% year-on-year increase, surpassing the expected 3.8%. This potential strength in the US dollar could contribute to a reversal scenario for USDCAD, and traders should closely monitor the unfolding dynamics in this session. As always, trade safe. Joe

USDCAD in Focus: Navigating Dollar Weakness and Upcoming CPIHey Traders, as we dive into today's trading session, our focus is keenly set on USDCAD, where we are eyeing a potential selling opportunity around the 1.34100 zone. The currency pair has been following a clear downtrend and is currently undergoing a correction phase, gradually approaching the trend at the crucial 1.34100 support and resistance area. Adding depth to our analysis, recent economic data has revealed weak figures for the US ISM (Institute for Supply Management), falling below market expectations. This unexpected downturn in the ISM figures suggests potential weakness in the US dollar, influencing our cautious approach in the current trading environment. Looking ahead to the week, anticipation builds as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the US is scheduled for release on Thursday. If the CPI data comes in softer than expected on January 11th, it could exert additional pressure on the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts in the upcoming March meeting. This fundamental context enhances our attention to the USDCAD pair, and we'll be closely monitoring how these factors unfold in the market dynamics throughout the week. Trade safe!

Buy USDCAD Triangle Breakout1. US Treasury yields climb, boost dollar: Rising US Treasury yields are providing some support for the dollar, putting mild upward pressure on the USD/CAD pair. 2. US employment data beats expectations: Positive US employment data released yesterday initially strengthened the US dollar, putting upward pressure on USD/CAD. However, concerns about rising US Treasury yields are now weighing on the dollar. 3. US/Canada employment data eyed: Both US and Canadian employment reports are due later today. Strong data from either side could significantly impact the pair's direction. Its good time to buy now, thank you

USDCAD: Sharp sell towards the annual low.USDCAD is being rejected on the 1D MA100, having turned bearish when ir crossed under the 1D MA50 on November 24th. The 1D technical outlook is naturally bearish (RSI = 40.749, MACD = -0.004, ADX = 31.294) giving us the ideal sell opportunity for an additional short, that will aim this time for a -4.00% decline from the top (TP = 1.33500). The 1D RSI is on a perfect symmetry with the April 10th rejection point.

USDCAD Hit the 1D MA200 after 2 months. What's next?The USDCAD pair hit today the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time since September 29. This comes after the November 01 top rejection marginally above Resistance 1 (1.38645) got accelerated by breaking below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). With the 1D RSI close to the 30.00 oversold barrier, we see an uncanny resemblance with the March 10 - April 03 sequence. It was on exactly the same 1D RSI level when that fractal delivered a short-term rebound that got rejected on the 1D MA50 and then declined to the top of the Symmetrical Support Zone. As a result we expect today or on Monday a similar dead-cat-bounce and late next week a rejection to resume the downtrend. Our medium-term target is 1.3400 (a little over Support 1). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

USD/CAD -28/11/2023- Application of ATR ∙ Average true range is a volatility indicator ∙ Low readings or declining ATR line shows that volatility is shrinking and the price is in a consolidation and implies a breakout or higher volatility ahead ∙ The Canadian Dollar is trading lower benefiting from a weak US Dollar but still within the 1.33-1.38 range that is holding for more than a year (since September 2022) ∙ Meanwhile, the ATR kept on declining for the year confirming the consolidation phase ∙ Bulls attempted to break above the symmetrical triangle but failed to build on gains and the price is back within the triangle ∙ Potential triple top at 1.380-1.3850 ∙ Traders are advised to step aside for the moment and not anticipate the breakout which can happen either way ∙ Low ATR value combined with a stretched triangle imply that the breakout is near and can be a big one
