USDCAD: Bullish For The Near Term?Welcome back to the Weekly Forex Forecast for the week of Sept 8 - 12th.
In this video, we will analyze the following FX market: USDCAD
Last Week I was looking for weakness in the USDCAD. It traded through the bearish FVG on the Daily, moving higher as the CAD turned out to be even weaker last week.
Look for this to continue for the upcoming week, as there is internal range liquidity (IRL) drawing price higher for a short term gains.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

CADUSD trade ideas
USDCAD bullish support at 1.3790The USDCAD remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a corrective pullback within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 1.3790 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 1.3790 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
1.3930 – initial resistance
1.3960 – psychological and structural level
1.4000 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 1.3790 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
1.3755 – minor support
1.3730 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the USDCAD holds above 1.3790. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

USDCAD SELL OPPORTUNITYHello traders, volatility slowly coming back and we already are benefiting from interesting trade opportunities. New week means new opportunities Here's my point of view about CMCMARKETS:USDCAD
TECHNICALLY:
AS explained before the red area around 1.38500 was a make or break area. I was looking to see some action around that H4-DAILY KEY LEVEL SELL ZONE. Last week price totally rejected the zone and this week we are clearly seeing rejections.
As long as we stay BELOW 1.38500 we can consider to look for SELL entries at pullback but only if fundamentals, confluences & confirmations align. This setup requires for US DOLLAR / DXY
DXY TO BE WEAK. or CAD strong (which can be the case due to fundamentals). Otherwise, the area will be completely invalidated and we will have a deeper pullback/ retracement.
You may find more details in the chart!
Thank you and Good Luck! MAKE SURE TO STAY STRICT WITH YOUR RISK MANAGEMENT!

【Canadian Dollar Analysis】 USD/CAD is currently oscillating wi【Canadian Dollar Analysis】
USD/CAD is currently oscillating within the 1.3450–1.3600 range, reflecting mixed fundamental drivers. **Supporting factors for CAD**: Rising crude oil prices (WTI back above $80) bolster its commodity currency appeal, while Canada’s stronger-than-expected January CPI may delay BoC rate cuts. **Headwinds**: Robust US economic data continues to strengthen the USD, coupled with sluggish domestic growth (Q4 GDP at just 1%). Technically, a break above 1.3620 is needed to confirm further upside, with key support at 1.3400. Monitor oil price dynamics and comparative economic data between the US and Canada. Trading strategy: range trading with breakout follow-up.

The market is not always chaotic and disorderly, and there is a precise geometric beauty hidden in price fluctuations. The harmonic form long strategy is a powerful tool for accurately identifying potential market reversal points based on the Fibonacci ratio. When the form forms perfectly at the key support level, it often indicates the depletion of bearish momentum and the initiation of bullish trends.

USD/CAD – Breakout Opportunity AheadThe market is painting a clear picture: Canada’s labor data is weakening (unemployment jumping to 7.1%), while the USD still holds an advantage thanks to investor safe-haven demand. This tilts the balance strongly in favor of buyers on USD/CAD – and if timed right, this could be a golden trading setup.
On the 4H chart, price has tested the 1.3780 support multiple times without breaking it, proving this level to be a solid “launchpad.” At the same time, EMA34 and EMA89 are converging around 1.3800, adding strength to the bullish outlook. If price breaks above 1.3870, get ready – the door towards 1.3920–1.3950 will open wide.
Strategy: Buy on dip around 1.3780–1.3800, with SL just below 1.3750. First TP at 1.3870, extended TP at 1.3920+. This is a setup backed by both fundamentals and technicals, giving bulls the upper hand.
Bearish setup in play?The Loonie (USD/CAD) has rejected off the pivot and could drop to the 1st support, which acts as a multi-swing low support.
Pivot: 1.3828
1st Support: 1.3729
1st Resistance: 1.3920

USDCAD A plus 08/09/2025 - 9am NY
Head and shoulders H4 3pin
Fibs 78.6
FVG at 9am
BOS above taken
The USDCAD moved lower alongside broader U.S. dollar weakness today, but buyers stepped in at a familiar support zone. The pair tested the 200-bar moving average on the 4-hour chart near 1.37844 (green line) before bouncing higher. Recall that on Friday, following the U.S. jobs report, price slipped below this same 200-bar average but found willing buyers near the 100-day moving average at 1.37626 (lower blue line on the chart above).
Market Structure is Actually EASY- Hear me outUnderstanding Market Structure Through Arcs
Market structure always seems simple when explained on YouTube. But open up a chart, and suddenly it feels puzzling, inconsistent, even frustrating. Imagine this: you’re analyzing the structure of a forex pair, confidently tracking highs and lows. Everything makes sense. Then you switch to a different pair—or even just a different date on the same chart—and suddenly it feels like your skill vanished. Yesterday you “understood” market structure, but today you don’t. So, what’s happening?
The truth is, when this confusion sets in, it’s usually because you’re looking for the wrong signs. Traders often get caught up searching for zigzags, breaks of structure (BoS), market shifts, supply and demand zones, or liquidity sweeps. But the key to truly understanding market structure comes down to one core skill: identifying strong and weak structures.
Redefining Market Structure
Market structure is not simply a zigzag. It’s not just supply and demand. Market structure is a collection of structures that, when viewed together, naturally form zigzags, supply/demand areas, and BoS/market shift levels.
And here’s the important part: not all structures are created equal. But don’t worry—you don’t need to memorize dozens of “types.” There are only two: strong structures and weak structures.
How to Identify Structures
This is where things get surprisingly simple. To identify structure, look for arcs. Yes—the charting tool no one ever uses. An arc represents price dipping and then returning to its prior high or low.
• If price closes beyond the previous high/low, the structure is strong.
• If price fails to break the previous high/low and closes within it, the structure is weak.
That’s it. Look at the chart example provided—you’ll see how clear this becomes once you train your eye. The Red/Green arcs represent arcs that were identified on the D timeframe (HTF). The blue squiggly line represents a collection of arcs identified on the 4h timeframe (LTF).
Multi-Timeframe Power
Here’s where arcs become even more powerful. A structure on one timeframe (say, the 4H) is essentially a supply/demand zone. Drop down to a lower timeframe (4H → 1H), and that same structure becomes a full swing move. This allows you to navigate multiple timeframes seamlessly—simply by plotting structures on the higher timeframe.
The Arc as the Foundation
Once you learn to spot arcs, everything clicks into place. An arc is supply and demand. It is liquidity boundaries. It defines strong/weak highs and lows. It creates the zigzag. In short: structure identification is the only skill you need to master market structure—and it’s surprisingly quick to learn.
Additional Notes
• A valid arc requires at least three candles. Anything less is not structure.
• Two candles may represent a reaction to supply/demand or a liquidity sweep, but they don’t form a structure.
• Why? Because structure requires balance—a brief pause where price enters, slows, stabilizes, and then reverses. That balancing process cannot be captured in one or two candles.
My Advice
For now, set aside the broader concept of “market structure” and focus only on arcs.
1. Practice identifying arcs in live price action—don’t worry about backtesting yet.
2. Mark them on your chart, and classify them as strong or weak.
3. Once you’re comfortable spotting them, move into backtesting. Watch arcs unfold in motion.
4. With enough practice, you’ll be able to recognize them instantly and without hesitation.
That’s when you return to market structure as a whole. With the skill of arc recognition in place, you’ll finally see how everything ties together—and your understanding will be unshakable.

Although I felt that this was a great take on market structure, the indicator provided falls short in a sense that market it relies on alternating internal shifts, when in market structure shifts can happen consecutively instead of strictly alternating. I have developed a different tool that will help identify structural levels without missing a single arc. It is called Supply/Demand Zones (Synthetic SMA Candles). I will provide a link below. It identifies arcs and classifies them as supply/demand zones. It also provides alerts which can be helpful if you are the type of trader that likes to trade passively without being glued to the charts.

Canadian Dollar Falls After Labour Market Data ReleaseCanadian Dollar Falls After Labour Market Data Release
On Friday, disappointing figures showed that in August the Canadian economy lost 65,500 jobs (the forecast had been for an increase of 10,000), while the unemployment rate rose to 7.1%. This is the highest level of unemployment since May 2016, excluding the pandemic period.
It is believed that:
→ the deterioration in the labour market (primarily in manufacturing) is a consequence of the trade war with the United States;
→ the fall in employment in Canada has increased the likelihood that the Bank of Canada will resume its monetary easing campaign.
As a result, the CAD weakened sharply against other currencies. However, the depreciation against the US dollar was less pronounced, as the USD itself is under pressure from various factors.
Technical Analysis of USD/CAD
From a long-term perspective, the USD/CAD pair remains within a downward trend, highlighted by a red descending channel.
From a medium-term perspective, since July the rate has risen from the 1.3550–1.3600 support zone, forming an ascending channel (shown in blue).
Price action (indicated by arrows) shows that:
→ sellers are aggressive, pushing the price down from the upper boundary of the red channel;
→ buyers are aggressive, driving the price up from the lower boundary of the blue channel. Its median line acts as resistance.
This is compressing USD/CAD fluctuations into a pattern resembling a symmetrical narrowing triangle (shown in black), with recent overbought (1) and oversold (2) conditions on the RSI marking price reversals back into the triangle from its boundaries.
Thus, we could assume that supply and demand forces will keep USD/CAD in a state of temporary balance while awaiting key news next week:
→ 16 September – Canada CPI report;
→ 17 September – interest rate decisions from both the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve.
