USDCAD - Bulls or Bears? Good Reasons for both

Greetings Fellow Traders,

As previously posted USDCAD had a good short opportunity when the bullish strength on the move from 1.34 showed definite signs of weakness...however that sell off was rather short lived which is starting to paint a different picture for what's to come.

If you're a strong supporter of USDCAD bulls, you should look for a confirmed trend line break near 1.3950...however be careful of the 1.40000 level, I would like to see both of these break to really add additional strength. The current structure here can be taken as a bullish flag potential.

If you're more of the Bearish persuasion, unless you're already short from the 1.3940 level there is not a really good reason to enter right now...however, a rejection off of 1.40000 would make for a very strong double top. The next easily identified bearish trade is actually a long way off, down at 1.34 area, indicated on the chart.

I will remain neutral for this analysis - but my long term bias is definitely with the bears at this point in time. Short term bulls definitely have the advantage with a potential bullish flag, but the confirmation break is still needed.

If you're not in any trade on USDCAD right now, I would remain on the side lines and wait for additional price action to create better entries. Waiting is the hardest part of trading.

Hope you all were able to make some good pips off of this structure - stayed true to the bulls we never saw the confirmation for the bears, just the anticipated bounce off of 1.40
