Short

FX:USDCAD   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar
CAD appears to have gained some ground after a strong employment report last week which brings me to re-visit my existing stance on this pair.
The price moved over 160pips in our direction since my last publication before meeting selling pressure @ CA$1.265000 followed by rejection at this same area during last week trading session to make a complete Reversal pattern (Double Top) at exactly the peak of the Channel Trendline (see link below for reference purposes). This feat completely emphasizes that price action is about respecting the Descending Channel (See chart below) one more time as I look forward to a breakdown/Retest of Neckline which is also my Key level @ CA$1.25300 for confirmation in the coming week(s)!

Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Breakdown | Supply & Demand | Reversal Pattern (Double Top)
Observation: i. Since the last quarter of last year, the price has been fluctuating between consistent highs and lows within a Channel in a downward trend.
ii. Double Top: The appearance of an extremely bearish technical reversal pattern that formed after price touched a high @ around CA$1.26500/1.26350 area two consecutive times with a moderate decline between the two highs calls for a Bearish bias in the coming week(s).
iii. As at the time of this analysis, price is hovering in a Demand area (CA$1.25300 - neckline) that might thrust price up hereby making us revert to my previous bias ( see link below).
iv. Opening a sell position on this pair can only be confirmed below Key level. Waiting for a significant Breakdown/retest of Neckline @ CA$1.25300 (Demand zone) is the only means of confirming that the Bears have come to stay at this juncture... trade consciously :)!
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 250 pips.
Risk/Reward: 1:5
Potential Duration: 5 to 10days
