USDCAD: Correction over, buy before NFP. Long

U.S. Dollar/Canadian DollarFXCM

Description

It seems that USDCAD has hit rock bottom, reaching a strong support level showing buyers have emerged at this level.
The fundamental landscape has been very negative for the US dollar but I think this time the unexpected will happen and we will see a rally.

Buying after this bar closes, as long as above the blue line is a good idea, but we can also attempt to buy a minor retracement, if any, or market buy now and scale in on a retracement.
Stop loss should be below the blue line, with some wiggle room based on ATR.

Good luck!

Ivan.

Trade closed: stop reached

Target wasn't hit but the trade was profitable.

If this turns out to be a triangle, we will see a thrust down, in a potential 5th wave of the last impulsive move down.
Then it'd be a no brainer buy to rejoin the bullish trend.

Looks like a triangle indeed.

thks will watch that area... should bounce from there as dxy showing sign of up move

Not yet, let it fall before you buy. Or short this last leg down.

Nice mode buildup higher, next move should be a strong run up.

Larger timeframe makes me doubt of the long here, considering how the moves evolved, same as in EURUSD and GBPUSD.
Crude might still have some room on the upside.



Pending 3rd target.
