As checked out simply a few weeks in the past, bearish setups in USD/CAD might be tough to work with given the pair’s proximity to the 1.3000 psychological degree. This highlights a current tendency for promoting strain to dry up when the psych degree will get nearer, evidenced by the higher-low that construct within the pair in late-November.

Taking present context into consideration and there’s one other variable of significance: A loaded calendar of occasion danger out of the US. Tomorrow brings the election however, even exterior of that, Thursday brings an FOMC fee determination (not a mistake – FOMC announcement is on Thursday this week) adopted by Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.

AUD/CAD Breaks Down from Descending Triangle

When confronted with an analogous state of affairs of noise in USD/CAD just a few weeks in the past, I had taken a take a look at AUD/CAD for CAD-strength eventualities; largely on the premise of a technical formation that had built-in.

The descending triangle is marked by a horizontal degree of help to associate with a sequence of lower-highs, typically on the premise of a bearish trendline. I had seemed into this setup on October 14th, and the day noticed sellers break-through to the opposite facet. That bearish theme continued down-and-through the .9272 help degree earlier than placing in a bounce that lasted by means of most of final week.

However that bounce discovered resistance on the identical flooring of help that had beforehand helped to construct the descending triangle; and after 5 consecutive days of resistance at that degree final week, sellers have begun to push with a bit extra aggression this week, and this will maintain the door open for short-side eventualities within the pair.

GBP/CAD Nearing Assist

On the short-side of CAD, I had checked out GBP/CAD just a few weeks in the past.

This zone runs from 1.6945 as much as the 1.7000 psychological degree, and a revisit right here might re-open the door for bullish methods within the pair, and short-side eventualities within the Canadian Greenback.
