TRADE: USDCAD: Sell@1.31650 Selling on wave count + patterns

Short
FX:USDCAD   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar
This pair has been in a series of trends within a correction. When in this mood, there are good opportunities to make pips unlike when it was in the tight consolidation triangle a month ago where if you were trading, you most likely got swung back and forth. So if this is the case, where is the opportunity? I think there is one now.

WAVE COUNT
So this pair is now in the midst of it's correction which I have labeled a wave 4. It seems to have completed it's wave (A) and its' wave (B). It could be working on its' wave (C) right now. And it may have finished the wave (a) and wave (b) of that larger wave (C). If that is correct, then we are looking at a wave (c) down in motion.

PATTERNS
There are 2 POTENTIAL patterns that are present that are relevant to the price action and my wave count. One is a butterfly and the other is a bat. Both are pointing prices down. The butterfly would complete at or near an extended TL formed by to wave peaks previously. This is a minor TL so it may not prove useful but it is there. The bat would complete near the recent lows where I have the wave (A) having ended. This would be a retest of those lows BUT if prices do complete this bat AND reverses from there, then we COULD be seeing the formation of a wave 4 triangle which when complete, will see prices rise again probably up and past the highs.

MY TRADE PLAN
I am SHORTING this pair now for a trip down a possible wave (c). I'll place my stops above the end of wave (b) of this wave (C) so that if prices were to reach back up past that point, then there's a chance that we may see higher prices ahead. My TP's are shown on the chart.
