USD Dominany Currency Pair Analysis and Predictions For Tomorrow's News Events

Non-Farm Employment Change
5:30 AM most likely a positive impact on USD, more than 66-75% chance, last 7 months have proven a strong trend and increase in employment and jobs

Unemployment Rate
5:30 AM Neutral if unemployment rate stays the same at 6.1% which is a high possibility or positive impact if number is now 6.0% or 5.9%

Average Hourly Earnings (5:30 AM 33.33% chance for a positive/neutral/negative affect although influence will be low anyways)

Core PCE Price Index (5:30 AM most likely a neutral effect)

Personal Spending (5:30 AM I would like to say this will have a low-influence positive affect but according to the past few months, most likely a neutral or low-influence negative affect)

In Conclusion

NFEC and Unemployment Rat have been helping the USD currency in the past 3 months or so so I am going to say that there is a good possibility that this pattern will continue with key points highlighted above and that there will be a series of buy orders overpowering any lower volume sell orders that will increase the value of USDCAD (as an example), anywhere from 7 (low-end) to 30 (high-end) with 15-26 being most likely.

What do you guys think?

{quote} what about NFP tomorrow?
I am holding since 1.0625 so I won't let it go until it gets to 1.1. USDCAD is in uptrend just don't fight against it and you will be fine. In theory we can get to 1.1 tomorrow. NFP don't think it will be a big mover tomorrow unless disappointment. However, downside on USDCAD remains limited...tomorrow the market will also price in Canadian employment data due next week so chance to go up is big. Just don't forget it is crazy Friday.

{quote} Too late to get in now?
dunno....I believe we will get past 1.1 at some point...almost certainly 1.12...but when I started I was looking for a low risk trade.. the idea was to leave at level that will be certainly hit which is 1.1. 1.12 is the new high touched earlier this year. 1.0625 was the extreme downside that I saw using Fibo and proved correct. Some banks predicted 1.2 and 1.25 this year for USDCAD. However, after 1.1 I will focus on other trades and check this pair only to see when it hits the very top. If I was you I would hold off until next week. Today was a good opportunity to enter long.

This pair doesn't like retracements but it is quite easy to detect when it violates trends.

That's technical analysis of a possible resistance line and possible downward drop but what about analyzing the fundamentals?

Or have you considered this into the equation as well?

fundamentals don't matter as this pair will go up no matter what....Canada is US trading partner so they will do what US wants....end of summer the craziness about USD will end but this pair will still have a chance to continue its uptrend ...I will be out by then. Just check what happened at the start of the year....it's repeating now so fasten your belt and enjoy the ride.

it's all about chances...anything is possible but there are things which are more likely than others...I don't have a crystal ball but in this case I know what is more likely to happen. I am sure you know it too. Your chart should include Dec 2013 and Jan 2014 to show what I am talking about.

Let me ask you a question.Had US GDP came out -1.5 and Canada +4% what is the likelihood of price going up.
I would say almost ZERO and how is fundamentals don't matter crap

December 2013 everybody was looking for a reversal at 1.06ish but USDCAD broke multiyears downtrend and skyrocketed to 1.12 in Jan 2014. Breakout was violent and little retracement. USDCAD can be boring for a long time but when it violates a trend....it's fast and furious. So after that I placed I buy order at 1.0625 level which was also consistent with Fibo analysis. It was touched during the short term downtrend and now we are going through the roof again.

Somehow I think you're both right in some way - loonie can act like crazy but fundamentals also matters. Anyway, I've learned in a hard way that future expectations matters the most or I should say fundamentals tomorrow, not today. I don't know what are the exact intentions of BoC or FED, just expect some action from them but if the expectations are that FED would hike rates before BoC or USA would become much more energy independent int the future, then maybe the present numbers don't matter so much. If it was that Canadian GDP > USA then I suppose we would have witnessed some falling at u/cad but not enough to break the present uptrend. To resume, the sentiment and expectations are most important (by my humble experience), I remember the days (2008) when some stocks were falling besides better results of the companies during that period versus the results in 2005-07 when they were rising like crazy.

fundamentals matter but we are not in a position to know them. FED won't let you know because their interest in making you rich is zero. Many are able to interpret fundamentals but very few are rich.

In terms of retracements, if we get to 1.0960 there's a chance to go back to 1.082ish but this is not guaranteed as we are in a strong uptrend. I would take it not as a possibility to short but as a chance to long.
