Loonie gonna push higher against the news? Long

U.S. Dollar/Canadian DollarFXCM

Description

USDCAD is finding some support for now but BOC (Bank of Canada) gonna increase CAD rate by 25 basis points to 1.5%, presumably this will cause USDCAD to drop heavily, so technical & fundamental do not agree and I'll enter with half the usual risk on this one.
There is some chance that the news is priced in or monetary policy statement would not imply strong cad, all in all a mixed news or no increase at all. The last one will explode the USDCAD to the upside as it is unexpected.
BOC might go for a weaker CAD as there is some trade tensions rising between US & Canada to minimize the effect of US tariffs on Canadian exports.
