@Gator, It just passed your level at 1566, up to 1584 I have not shorted yet. I think we need to think about short again around 16xx. (1605-1655 is where I will look for my entry, I might change the number if it move higher before ECB rate decision) The up trend still strong but getting weaker ! Watch out ECB rate on Thursday!

Did you enter short?
I don't know...

Morning, how is the fish? One takes vacations and then don't recognices this place, where's sisse's old guard?

Maybe is the postvacational bias but, I think USDCAD is just ready for pullback. I think after such a drop this level should be a good TP place... weekly resistance and we are at a important pitchfork parallel line.

{quote} With this kind of trend from bad US fundies, it could breaks 1488 today and close the day around 1499-1511! Yesterday high has just broken ! No news at beginning of next week, so I think it will be continuous going with momentum until Thursday (EUR rate bid) We will have chance to short at 156x or 16xx
i left a pending at 1485 when i left. it took my 6 pip donation. i wanted to short 1711 test minimal last May. it never made it, only 161x. since, it made that LL below 1.056x. and now near 171x. 1650 on the st scale looks to be this week's key. there should be some activity there to look at closing s/r. some possible scalp bouncing there may develop.,. bulls probably need it closed above to keep up momentum. 1/4,month, week, look bullish atm.. if any st bear shows up, st bulls may be better off waiting for 1575/85 minimal to look for a fresh one. atm 1650 is being tested.

not advocating a short.. but if you're taken one, st indicates it may be better after 1656/1684 W/o a HH... it may also take a close below 1650 to help. atm low is 1625.. some Resistance probably 1645/1650.. it would be helpful for your short to keep closes below 1650 and better yet today below 1645. with london Friday below 1650 ... still bullish w/o and even with those closes. if i am wrong about 1656, 1654 may be it on st basis 1654/84.. definitely counter
trend. if those closes go above 1650 closing short, may be best

Bullish channel is still, 4 days left for this week, I do not think it will drop any price under 1478 at the end of this week.
Looks like it needs 2-3 weeks more to see the top which means I will keep my eyes on next month candle .
it could rally up to 17xx or even 19xx with this strong strength before a big reversal.

rubber meets the road here. st bear may be more probable if the next 30m closes below 1645.. it did hit 1656 now. no doubt its bullish, but that close below 1645 and again 12 hrs later is a better shot at 1575. so even if your bullish biased, a better shot to long may be under those circumstances

i did take the short at 1656,, i closed with 3 pips... i would have held if the close was under 1645.. it closed 1652x, the bullish side for me.. not to say things will not change.. but st above 1650 was more bullish to me..

I agree. If 1625 holds, a move to 1636 would keep the st bulls on its course I think.

maybe a long 1641 ish with that 1625 support.. may need to rethink with closes below 1645 b4 london roll. if above 1650,, maybe room to ride bull. if 1645 was closed below. 1575 has potential.

with it closing above 1650 on the 12 h.. i couldn't hold short. but last london did close below 1650 at 1645. so it may weaken the bull some near high. a short leg dt near 1683 could yield 1575..

And 1575 could in turn take us to 18xx territory. Do you have any targets above 1713 other than st?

st 1683, larger 1711, being bullish 1/2. 1/4, quarter, week atm. and atm above 1645 and 1650. i dont see bear. i tiny sign is london week rolled below 1650.. that dont mean much for 1711 test later. i figured st would test near or above 1683. so i could risk 4 or 5 there. i would close if london today didnt close below 1645 or if didnt look like it would b4. the same on a bigger tf near 1711. to me this week, 1650 is my center world close wise. to me today, 1645 is the same. above or below. the sky is the limit close wise. i thought 1711 would get a closer Resistance test last May, but it fooled me making a LL after 1611. the reason i thought it would be closer to 1.1711 was, the 1.2 attraction. that db LL below 05xx. has 1.1711 as the top of its window. all looks bullish to test it atm.. if it held, i think its a sub 1.0 target. somewhere around .93.. if i am wrong, still it has moved 1200/1400 pips. so 1/2 is probably minimal. strong bull atm.. so lets see how R acts.. no need to risk more than a few. if its meant to be, it will be.

the 12h closed above 1650 hours ago. so i thought 1683 would be a near test or higher. on a larger scale 1711.. nothing to show bear unless the 1683 high held and london rolls -1635.. even there is just a tiny st sign,

high atm is 1698ish... it's very bullish looking. but it's near 1711. beware if long, and it rolls below 1650 and 1635 today. that wouldn't end the bull necessarily. but may be a rejection retrace. atm level 1687.. its in the upper window for 0.93.. very close to the risk at 1711+
