Bit off topic but I don't know if anyone follows the loonie.

If you pull up the GBPUSD and GBPCAD charts you'll see that cable has been going up but the GBPCAD has been going down.

Now I think the loonie is closely correlated with the dollar so they should move the same.

I think GBPCAD has a lot of catching up to do and went long last week.

Guys please, Quit making unsubstantiated and wild calls here! All it does is eat up thread space, annoy the experienced traders and confuse the new ones...

If you have an "opinion", PLEASE back it up with a chart and some solid reasoning behind your claims!! OK?
EXACTLY we know whats happenning just stick to the plan bro..

Malcolm was correct about you. You posted this when the price was well past 1.6935 (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...stcount=154697), yet now you say you got in at 1.6935 and had difficulty posting. You must think we are idiots.

Cable found resistance at the very top of the previous swing lo zone on the weekly chart and again at the asian hi/reported offers 7000-05/reported barrier interest @ 7010 falling sharply to the 1hr previous swing lo=previous support=potential suppport zone shown on screenshot below.

An initial recovery off the pullback lows saw resistance at the 38.2% of the fall and now a 2nd test of the lows sees price trading aeround 6928 as I write this.

The 1hr chart below shows the obvious near term imbalances of demand/supply (swing lows) and supply/demand (swing highs) as well as fibs from swings up from 6471 and 6693 to current highs and the ascending potential supp trend line on this 1hr t/f.

Actually, it's indecision for me ATM. On the 15M we have minor support holding well but the PA is unclear. (Box)

Unlike the the PA with a nice flat bottom on top of the 50 ema which was a clear sign to buy for me. (Arrow)

Would have yielded 67 pips had I been awake 20 minutes sooner...lol

Although I "think" we may test 7000 again.

The price of crude does look stretched sitting above $70, judging by current inventory levels. If this theory bears out, then your GBPCAD position should perform.

Both GBP and CAD, to varying degrees, are seen as "risk" currencies, with the latter benefitting enormously of late due to it being a commodity play, hence it's outperformance over the former.

I do not study GBPCAD as an individual pair, so I cannot comment on the current underlying technicals.

remember bro..PA at good locations..at a bottom of a range is a gift trade..use all u know combine all the knowledge..now looking at j16..on the 4hr we have developed a bullish out side bar..a break of the high on the 4hr will push this to my target..momentum is indeed up..
