USDCAD | PERSPECTIVE FOR THE WEEKI had a Bearish bias last week with price moving over 100pips in our direction (see link below for reference purposes). Despite price action still portrays a dovish tendency, it is important to note that price is presently sitting on major Support/Resistance (see Day/Week Chart) which has been a sensitive Demand area multiple times in the past. As US job figures sparkle and against all expectations, the expectation of a break above 1.31500 in the coming week is strongly a possibility on my radar!
Tendency: Uptrend ( Bullish )
Structure: Trendline | Supply & Demand| Reversal Pattern (Harmonic: Cypher)
Observation: i. Since mid-July 2020, Price action has connected lower highs and lower lows with parallel trendlines to show a prevailing downward trend.
ii. Price crashed into and began a rally from an area that represents a major Support/Resistance level (Demand zone on the chart) in the past.
iii. Looking closely at the rally from the Demand zone, I noticed a structure that depicts a Harmonic move (Cypher pattern) represented by the following data;
a. Point B retracement of the primary XA leg lies in between 0.500/0.618.
b. Point C falls at an approximate of 1.414 extensions of the primary XA leg.
c. Expecting 0.786 retracements of XC @ around 1.30300 zone confirming completion of the harmonic pattern at point D.
iv. Having observed this, it's pertinent that I state here that a strong rejection of Key level with an engulfing candle shall force me to revert to last week's bias (see link below) as this means that the Buyers are yet to find the momentum to raise the roof!
Trading plan: BUY confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 250 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 4 to 10 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD | MY PERSPECTIVE FOR THE WEEKAs price moved over 150pips in our direction since my last publication (see link below for reference purposes); the Canadian dollar continues to benefit from the modest sort-rate spread between US and Canadian bonds. Friday's market watch posted a considerable gain for the CAD as it closed the day with an engulfing Bearish candle... this view at the market pre-empt me to consider a Bearish bias on this pair as I continue to look out for selling opportunity off sensitive resistance level on lower timeframes.
Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Trendline | Support & Resistance | Breakdown
Observation: i. Price action continues to fall within the confines of my Bearish Trendline represented on the chart.
ii. Breakdown of my Key level @ 1.31500 during the week (Thursday - 27th August) followed by a possible retest of this level is more than enough for me to initiate a SELL on this one!
iii. My 1.31500 level shall be a yardstick to hold my SELL bias in the coming week.
iv. Having explained this, it's pertinent that I state here that a Breakout/Retest of this Key level might render this set-up invalid as a Rally could be in the air.
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 120 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 4 to 10 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD | MY PERSPECTIVE FOR THE NEW WEEKThe price moved over 200pips in our direction since my last publication (see link below for reference purposes) even though the Greenback advanced to a fresh daily high of 1.3235 on Friday but lost its traction amidst "quick sells" ahead of the weekend. The USDCAD failing to settle above resistance level @ 1.32400 insinuates that Buyers lack the momentum to rally price making a decline in the following week a more feasible window to keep finding an opportunity to sell the Dollar.
Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Breakdown | Supply & Demand | Trendline
Observation: i. Since the price broke down 1.32500 level on the 12th of Aug. 2020, it keeps retesting this level affirming a Bearish bias on this one.
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 150 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 1 to 4 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD | PERSPECTIVE FOR THE WEEKMy bias on this publication last week (see link below for reference purposes) was rendered invalid as price broke down 1.33800 level given rise to a stronger CAD, which might result in a further decline as price retest 1.38000 level.
The Loonie appears to begin the rally off of a backdrop of upside economic surprises and stronger commodity prices. Buyers couldn't continue the moment despite good figures resulting from NFP positive outlook on Friday as the price appears to stall at 1.33800 (Breakdown zone).
Tendency: Downtrend (Bearish)
Structure: Supply & Demand | Channel
Observation: i. Since Breakdown/Retest of 1.35000 level in mid-July 2020, the Bulls have found it immensely difficult to raise the bar resulting in a Channel to the downside.
ii. As selling pressure increase from my Key level @ 1.35000, I shall be looking out for Sell confirmation in the coming week on this pair.
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 300 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 2 to 6 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD | WEEKLY PERSPECTIVEThe USD/CAD pair struggled to make a decisive move in either direction after the macroeconomic data releases from Canada and the United States on Friday - 31st July 2020. With 90pips in our direction from my last week publication (see link below for reference purposes), a possible rally continuation is looming as we experience a Breakout off of our Trendline and Resistance @ 1.33700 during the course of last week.
Tendency: Uptrend ( Bullish )
Structure: Breakout | Channel | Reversal Pattern
Observation: i. The fall of USD since mid-July 2020 appears to stall at 1.33600 zone (Buying Pressure zone) as the price continues to find it difficult to break further down.
ii. The spring of a Bullish candle (Breaking out off of my Trendline) later in the week is a sensitive sign that emphasizes Buyer's strength at this juncture in the market.
iii. Looking out for completion of retracement from Engulfing run in anticipation of a rally in the following week(s).
Trading plan: BUY confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 100 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:2.
Potential Duration: 2 to 7 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD | WEEKLY PERSPECTIVEAs the USD dropped to its lowest level since early June 2020, the price has moved over 150pips in our direction since my last publication on this pair (see link below for reference purposes). Its been a rough week for the Greenback as it breaks my Key level I @ 1.35000 to sit at the bottom of Bearish Trendline @ 1.33500 area as I anticipate a further Breakdown of this level as a confirmation.
Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Breakdown | Support & Resistance | Trendline
Observation: i. Breakdown and Retest into my Key suggest a further decline of the USD in the following week(s).
ii. Price action is back and consolidating at the region it was in early June 2020 with open possibilities for either a Bullish or Bearish option.
iii. It is also worth noting here that price closed @ 1.33500 (about 26pips below where it closed at in early June 2020 -Key level II) suggesting an increase in Selling power at this juncture in the market.
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 260 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:3
Potential Duration: 4 to 15 days
NB: This speculation can be considered to make decisions on lower timeframes.

USDCAD on a sustainable reboundA while ago, I posted the following chart, saying that USDCAD was 'still far from a long term buy'. The conditions are finally set for the pair to be a fair long-term buy opportunity:
Pattern: Channel Up on 1W.
Signal: Bullish as the price rebounded on the 1W MA50 while the RSI hit its long-term Buy Zone.
Target: 1.4200 (first Resistance) and 1.46800 in extension (Higher High zone of the 1W Channel Up).
** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. **
USDCAD Conditions for a buyUSDCAD has been consistent on this pattern. After each peak the price breaks below the 1D MA50 and makes a bottom. When it breaks above the MA50 again, the trend line supports the next uptrend all the way to the next peak. Then the cycle is repeated.
Currently it is approaching the MA50 and if that holds I am expecting a sustainable ~ 2 month uptrend. The target is up to the risk/ reward you want to take but take into account the (dashed) Lower High trend line.
