An update on trade setups we've been tracking inthe Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and the British Pound. These are the technical targets and invalidation levels that matter heading into next week. Review my latest Strategy Webinar for an in-depth breakdown of thesetrade setups and more.
In my latest Canadian Dollar Price Outlook we noted that, “is contracting within the April opening-range, just below confluence resistance. From a trading standpoint, we’re on breakout watch with the broader recovery at risk below 1.26.” Price held below monthly open resistance this week at 1.2562 with USD/CAD continuing to press the lows towards key support at 1.2468/84- a region defined by the 61.8% retracement of the March rally and the yearly low-day close. We’re looking for price inflection off this zone in the days ahead. A break / close below would likely fuel an accelerated Loonie run with such a scenario exposing the yearly close-low at the 1.24-handle.
