Quoting usdoutlaw
anyone have a recent opinion on the usdcad pair?

I think it is back into its previous down channel, with a bias toward the lower end of the channel since previously it was trending on the upper end of the channel and taking into account the recent break of the channel to the downside.

On the flip side recent daily price action leads me to believe it will test the channel resistance to the upside soon and then head lower.

Any comments would be appreciated. Any Pattern analysis help would be appreciated since I see no discernible patterns.

Thanks....
I Agree. I'm currently short.
Failure is NOT an option
Seems relatively strong, but I took profits. Will not short, and can only go long on dollar rebound confirmation.

1.0602 is my 50% fibo line. However, my longer term 23.5% fibo is up at 1.0711. If we can make it up there before month's end, I will be extremely happy. But right now, I'm playing my short term plan and it's working out beautifully.

Sometimes, good things do happen to those who wait (and wait....and wait....and wait.... )
Now I'm happy.

1.0785 is my next big target up. 1.0695 is middle ground (where we are now, but this could change quickly once Mark Carney speaks) and 1.0602 is my lower short term fibo down.

BTW, i have today's Pivot at 1.0631. We have not broken that to the downside yet.

My opinion...without jobs and rising deficit, the CND government is firing blanks. They are claiming 2nd month of fewer EI claims, but they are not telling you how many people have run out of benefits and still have not job. But who really knows what's gonna happen.

I Agree. I'm currently short.

Ar you still short? or did you just initiate?

I am seeing some support off the 10EMA on the 4hour chart, which seems to be a good chart to pick entry and exits.

Do you have thoughts on this?

Personally I might buy short term to try for the upside resistance of the currsnt channel with a stop short stop 30 points below. Ultimately I am looking to short near the upside resistance around the 1.09 big figure.

Cheers!
hope for the best and expect the worst.
A daily close about 1.0662 would create some support for longs...but just. A close above 1.0711 (not necessarily today) would be better.

I see squat bearish divergent bar (B/D/B). Strong signal for sell-stop-order 0.9725.

Well there goes the usdcad long. Closed that after the Housing Number, since I am scared of the oil inventories number.

Looking to get short if these oil inventories are low. Or if these hourly upside wicks prove to be resistance a short is probably in order. With Target at around 100EMA on the hourly.

Cheers!

Huh? Nothing wrong yet. Still trading according to plan.

1.0785 is back to where this month started. The whole month of October driving the USDCAD down was purely speculation. No fundamentals. That's why I held all my positions and just scalped while in a draw down. Now my account is flush green.

1.0785 is the next line I'm looking at up. As long at 1.0662 holds as support. Above that is 1.0912 and 1.0962, with a bunch of less important lines in between. Obviously these are swing trade numbers.

As Gator always reminds me...keep one eye on the commodities, and study your charts.

BTW...a (daily) close about 1.0711 is good.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to add the 1.081x line as a level to look for.

If the Mark Carney and the Canadian government can keep pushing the CAD down to a 1.10xx exchange rate, they will get back all the exporters and manufacturers votes that they lost during the first part of October. If they can get it back up to 1.15, they may even get some Liberal politicians switch over to the Conservate party.

You have to have thick skin, deep pockets and a short term memory to be a politician (and a forex trader).

went long @ 1.07

EDIT- close long for 10 pips, went short (recorrected my position)

Broke the trendline, watching it trend down.
lowest draw down possible please.
Hmm...I am stuck in a long position. Although I think it will be profitable by tomorrow reason the down trendline is acting as support(think its 1.0650 on Daily) The up trendline is also intact. Would appreciate your outlook people.

After closing my EURUSD overnight shorts (160 pips, thank you), I decided to come back here and look at my charts. 1.0769 is the bottom of my lower upward trend lines. I may consider another long here. I have 2 open longs right now, both from the 1.0695 area.

Oil down...world markets down...TSX only market in green today (why? I dunno). CAD up.
