TRADE: USDCAD: BUY@1.29174 Low Risk CAUTIOUS Trade

Long
FX:USDCAD   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar
I am buying this pair at this point for a low risk LONG trade. There is bullish PA on the 1Hr TF which may indicate there is to be a "relief" rally coming. What I mean by "relief" rally is that I am expecting still more downside to come but there is enough buying pressure built up that a brief profit-taking rally may occur.

WAVE COUNT
My wave count on this downtrend is very preliminary and I need more confirmation in order to more confidently make any count. This rally if it occurs can help towards that. But what I am seeing is possible that this will turn out to be a ABC (5-3-5) Zigzag wave 4 and in which what could be happening now is a 5-wave wave (A) of that zigzag. And within this wave (A), it is just finishing the wave iii and will now start a wave iv correction. If that cypher holds, then the cypher completion could mark the end of the wave iv correction and then a wave v impulse down will follow. to finish wave (A). But as I said, this "guess" is just a guess based on experience and really, there is a lack of enough solid data points to confidently label anything as of yet.

PATTERN
There is a POTENTIAL cypher that I have drawn here. . If prices drop down more and close past the C point of the cypher, then the pattern is invalidated. The cyppher is a bearish cypher and is a trend continuation pattern so should it be filled, it might represent a good SELL opportunity but will need to wait and see what happens.

MY TRADE PLAN
Buying now though it may be premature.I've titled this trade as a CAUTIOUS trade because it lacks a good structure to which to trade off of. So I am making this trade because of low risk and PA. But the R:R is good. My stops will go below the current C point of the cypher. Because I am expecting this to be a "brief" rally before more downside, my TP1 will be just short o the cypher completion where there is some minor sr structure. At that point, I will review the price action and see if I will close this trade.
