it's weird that CAD is so bullish even though in Canada, we have high unemployment, high household debt, and a very poor economic outlook for the future. i think that the market has it wrong The unemployment rate will go up even further since we have strikes and layoffs in Ontario and Alberta is not looking good either. People are starting to save money instead of spending it.
Yes you correct.. I will seek Shorts from next week.. it might be a huge one..

{quote} The primary reason CAD is bullish compared to the USD is that BoC has portrayed an interest rate hike path with a trajectory slope that's higher than that of the FED Reserve's forecast of its own interest rate hikes. Of course, it's all in the short term. This can change if Governor Poloz says due to moderating CPI figures, BofC will hold off hiking interest rates for the foreseeable future.
I disagree that the future interest rate path is the "primary" reason. If that were the case the US dollar would have be skyrocketing verse other currencies during 2017.

Overall, most developed nations have many of the same issues: Stagnant wages, tepid spending, increasing household debt. So It's hard to say that any of the numbers related to these issues is of tantamount importance in the short term from a fundamental perspective.

Imho, the driver of UCAD price since the spring time is more likely related to the these things:

1) The continued negative sentiment surrounding the US government's instability and inability to pass any meaningful legislation. Imo, this has been weighing down the dollar verse virtually all other currencies.

2) Since May, oil and gold are up roughly 15%, and lo and behold USD/CAD is down about 15%

3) In 2017 Canadian GDP and employment has shown some tepid signs of improvement.

Think about it: UCAD sold off 15% and in that time the US hiked rates 3 times to Canada's 0. Clearly the present/future rate hike path wasn't the driver of price for 2017.

Im not arguing with the possibility of success with shorting CAD in the short term, but with regards to fundamentals hasn't Canada just reported the fastest quarterly growth in 7 years and highest growth of the G7 countries. Along with massive increase in household spending, which mean higher interest rates, which means higher CAD...

I see 1.18x likely in USDCAD before any meaningful reversal.

Longer term OIL/UCAD generally share a negative correlation.

For a couple of weeks now the OIL/UCAD correlation has broken down. Oil has slowly gained and UCAD had also slowly gained as well. Imho, this is a sign of UCAD strength. What's going to happen if/when oil sells off. Theoretically, UCAD should accelerate it's gains upward.

The Daily chart below shows what happened last time the correlation broke down and what happened afterwards. I'm holding UCAD longs into October and hopefully longer depending on when/if oil eventually sells off.

Cheers all, safe trading

Just as a follow up, there is also a bearish Wolfe wave with divergence showing up on the daily chart for crude. Pivot/Fib confluence in addition to price entering a supply zone. Any significant correction down should give UCAD some life

Your insight is good but the entry is somehow too forced and thus too risky in my opinion.
I would wait this move instead

I don't want give you lesson how to trade, I am sure you know very well, but this is just my opinion. Hope this will not upset you.

The idea is that WTI is unclear for now.

No offense taken. Yes, oil unclear and that's why I'm not advocating for anyone to short oil. Just posing a rhetorical question, "if oil corrects to any degree, then what does that mean for UCAD?" Answer: UCAD gaining more momentum to the upside. Like I said oil rising and UCAD rising too is like writing on the wall.

I trade a bit differently than you for sure. I am a contrarian trader and am looking for short term corrections based on market imbalances. As in your picture resistance trend line broken. As you have drawn a return or retest of that trend line is precisely the target profit line for the Wolfe wave I posted. If that correction takes place then UCAD will likely reach my short term target of 126. If it doesn't take place then UCAD may still remain in a range as it has broken it's negative correlation with oil for 2 weeks now.

Cheers

UCAD has reached a significant support-turned-resistance level of 1.2400 so the reward-risk considerations are not favorable until it breaks through that level in an obvious manner, with a clear pullback and retracement to follow through.

UCAD making higher highs and lower lows on the 4H for 2 weeks now. Weekly doji reversal pattern with a 300 pip doji hammer on the monthly so far.

I think people are also missing the fundamentals right now. Anyways, I've already built a longer term long position from 122.85 and will add more if and when new resistance levels are broken.

I don't know. I think it's best to wait until the end of this week to be certain since there are important fundamental news for CAD and USD such as the upcoming CAD m/m GDP on Friday and a speech by BoC Governor Poloz in the middle of this week. If Poloz reaffirms another hike and the m/m GDP shows another stronger than expected reading, it's downhill from here.

There's important news every week. Next week is US earnings and NFP with Canadian employment numbers. Should we wait until the end of next week? Of course not. Heck, we just had an unexpected Rate hike in Canada and yet UCAD has rebounded. That in itself should tell us something.

I just trade my charts with one eye on sentiment, one eye on the bigger fundamental picture, and two eyes on the cute college girl across the street

Anyways, shorts are already trapped below the weekly pivot at 123 ish. That should be a solid support area imo. And as I stated earlier about the negative correlation with oil being broken for 2 weeks. As we speak oil has surged above 52, and yet UCAD has maintained it's gains.
