There's not much in the way of this move from what I can see. Yen continues to be the weakest currency in the G10 (for now, BoJ look set to intervene at some point this year) and for the short term I expect this to continue to meet the descending long-term trendline that's formed. I'll be looking for sells around 115 with any LTF confirmation, but until then I'm...

We saw a huge sell off when EURCAD broke it's uptrend last week so I'm watching GBPCAD to see if we get a similar flush.

Entry signal would be a non ambiguous break of the Daily trend with stop above high of day if possible....

I think this pair broke the rising trendline but has struggled to get...

We can see CADJPY rejected off the ascending channel and horizontal resistance confluence. I think we'll retest following a bounce off the lower boundary, especially seeing how oil is doing and today's CAD data.
