'Giant Panda' surrender of the AUD bid

Short
FOREXCOM:AUDCAD   Australian Dollar/Canadian Dollar
📌 Surrendering of the AUD bid

The following play is an example of how easily a premature surrender of the ladder can lead to a correction.

In light of that, for the news flow we have a two course dinner:

1️⃣ A dovish RBA on deck notably showing signs of distress with Australian 10Y Yield and opening the door for more QE. This is going to keep the downward pressure on AUD in the immediate term while CB's and governments around the globe prepare to tap into the overdraft one more time.

2️⃣ Regular readers will know we have been tracking PBOC for some time. The "Giant Panda" has been spotted (more than once on the AUD bid and quite practicably so. The importance here comes from them effectively pressing the release valve via banning Australian coal.

3️⃣ Any last minute USD outflows ahead of election event risk will be positive CAD in the immediate term. A Trump victory would then likely unwind those, while a Biden sweep I suspect accelerates the flows from US to Canada.



📌 The following swing that we are tracking is a combinatory complication.

From a flows perspective, sellers can resign after testing the previous resistance turned support, with the threat of penetration towards the previous centre in the orderblock. The floor will depend on risk passing, for now let's keep working shorts and use CAD to park as a defensive move to ride the pig on any last minute U.S election outflows; 0.930x -> 0.900x looks within reach.

Thanks as usual for keeping the feedback coming 👍 or 👎
