USDCAD - Quick channel trade Short

U.S. Dollar/Canadian DollarFXCM

Description

Targets as shown in the chart. Forming a nice pennant on the Daily time frame. We'll see how it resolves overall, but I'm anticipating we colour inside the lines for a bit longer.

I don't understand. Pennant (I just learned about them) are trend continuation patterns. The previous trend is bullish. So it would make more sense to have a bullish trend on the exit of the pennant (bearish cone). See my illustration to see what I mean.

Yep this is forming a bullish pennant and the expectation would be for a bullish resolution. I'm just anticipating one more internal wave before the break out. I've kept the stop fairly tight - set just above the previous hight rather than the late January high.

If this trade pans out, I will be looking to go long and holding it for the breakout to new highs.

Best bet is to follow your trading plan and rules. Thanks for the comment.
