USDCAD trade ideas

How market worksThis is your blueprint and the only thing you need. Always after a break the market returns to the zone from where it pushed the market for that break (picture 1) or while returning it decides to reinvest and push the market again and then we can watch the entry from that zone as well (picture 2). I personally watch the market on 15 minutes. When I look at which zones I'm interested in, I go down to 1 minute and look for an entrance there. Tomorrow I will explain the entrance on 1 min.

USDCAD Bullish Trend: Key Level to Watch for Buy OpportunityOANDA:USDCAD is currently in a bullish trend. For it to continue moving higher, it must hold the Monday low, which will create a swing failure. Once it starts holding this level as support, I’ll be looking to buy where the arrow is marked. That arrow is my go-to signal to enter the trade. If the price breaks below the Monday low, I’ll close the position manually. Stay tuned for more updates and FOLLOW ME for the next moves!

Post analysis 11/19/24Hello and good evening traders, Thank you for taking the time to join me on our post analysis. We have identified a short opportunity in the USDCAD pair. The reason behind this engagement is the alignment of several key elements. Firstly, we observed weakness in the fundamentals of the US dollar and strength in the Canadian dollar. Secondly, these fundamentals aligned with our current trend. Thirdly, we experienced proper breaches of the previous session’s highs and lows. Lastly, we were able to gauge the opposition's strength and time an entry based of their lack of ability to perform. Timing Consideration: Timing was a significant concern, potentially impacting the trade’s advantageousness. the momentum of the opposing force and ascertain that their strength was waning. After considering these factors, it became evident that a short opportunity presented itself. However, timing proved to be a more significant concern. If we had given more attention to timing, we may have had the opportunity to select a more advantageous trade. Nonetheless, we ended the day with a positive outcome, presenting opportunities for improvement and enhanced performance in the future. See you all in the office tomorrow. Good night,

Canadian CPI Inflation Accelerates in OctoberCanadian CPI Inflation Accelerates in October; Boc Still Likely to Cut Rates Policymakers ‘may’ think twice about reducing the overnight rate by another 50 basis points (bps) next month following inflation accelerating to the upside. I emphasise the word ‘may’ here. According to the October CPI inflation report (Consumer Price Index) released by Statistics Canada, headline YY (Year on Year) CPI inflation increased to 2.0%. This marked its first acceleration in five months, rising from 1.6% in September (north of economists’ expectations of 1.9%) and immediately sent the Canadian dollar (CAD) northbound. The release noted that gasoline prices fell less last month (4.0%), following September’s fall of 10.7%, ultimately bolstering headline inflation. In addition to this, the report also showed that shelter prices eased further, rising 4.8% from 5.0% in September. However, food (purchased from stores) showed prices accelerated by 2.7% from September’s reading of 2.4%. BoC Eyeing a 50 Basis Point Cut? The Bank of Canada (BoC) has reduced its overnight rate by 125 basis bps since June, and along with the previous meeting’s bumper 50 bp cut, the central bank’s Governor, Tiff Macklem, left the door wide ajar for further policy easing. Despite higher-than-expected inflation, price pressures remain around the BoC’s 2.0% mid-point inflation band of 1-3%. And we must remember that while it does show inflation increased, the rise in prices is largely in line with what the BoC expected according to their latest forecasts: ‘The Bank expects inflation to remain close to the target over the projection horizon, with the upward and downward pressures on inflation roughly balancing out’. This may explain the Canadian dollar’s swift correction in the CAD and the absence of follow-through after the release. Markets are still pricing in around 32 bps of easing for the BoC’s next policy decision – largely unchanged compared to before the release of inflation numbers. So, in my opinion, with the economy still weak, a loose labour market and inflation at target, the BoC cutting rates by another 50 bps remains a possibility next month. BoC’s Preferred Measures Increase Between September and October, inflation also increased to 0.4%, bettering the market’s median estimate for a 0.3% rise and above the previous 0.4% decline. The BoC’s preferred measures of inflation also accelerated to the upside. The CPI Median rose 2.5% from 2.3% in September (consensus: 2.4%), while the CPI Trim measure rose 2.6% from 2.4% in September (consensus: 2.4%). Therefore, the average pace of inflation between these two measures is 2.55%, up from 2.35% in September. Additionally, the CPI Common measure was higher at 2.2%, up from 2.1% in September. Where Does This Leave the USD/CAD? With oil prices lower and positioning for the CAD also low (according to CFTC data), as well as the central bank expected to continue easing policy and the Fed’s moderately hawkish commentary, the recent upside in USD/CAD should not be a surprise. However, while the USD/CAD is biased to the upside and has been for some time now, a correction is in play, and the recent inflation numbers added to the possibility of further downside. Technically, support on the weekly timeframe from C$1.3945 and C$1.3843 and two neighbouring support levels on the daily timeframe (C$1.3866 and C$1.3877) could be worth noting and possibly lend a floor for buyers to work with should the unit reach this far south. Shorter-term flow shows H1 price hovering just ahead of support from C$1.3959, which happens to be a level that converges with a reasonably long-term trendline support, extended from the low of C$1.3472, and a 50% retracement ratio coming in from C$1.3960. What’s also technically appealing for C$1.3959 support is the weekly support coinciding closely with the level at C$1.3945. As a result, this area on the charts could have USD/CAD buyers return to the fold if tested. Written by FP Markets market analyst Aaron Hill.

USDCADLooking at USDCAD, the overall order flow remains bullish, but we're currently seeing a retracement. I'm anticipating a continuation to the upside. At the moment, we have an unmitigated demand zone, which is valid due to a liquidity sweep and a change of character originating from this zone. From there, the market created a new high at 1.41053. Now, we need to fill the inefficiency, wipe out the inducement, and wait for an entry on a lower timeframe once the price taps into our demand zone. Ideally, price will sweep the resting liquidity and take out the internal liquidity, confirming the bullish continuation.

Idea on a tradeUSD/CAD gains ground to around 1.4020 in Tuesday’s Asian session. The rising geopolitical risks support the USD. The Canadian CPI inflation report will be in the spotlight on Tuesday. The USD/CAD pair trades in positive territory near 1.4020 on Tuesday during the Asian trading hours. The resurgence of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and in the Russia-Ukraine front boost the safe-haven currency like the Greenback. Investors will closely watch Canada’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data, which is due later on Tuesday. Citing two US officials familiar with the decision, CNN News reported on Sunday that US President Joe Biden's administration has authorized Ukraine to use US arms to strike inside Russia in a significant reversal of Washington's policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Investors will monitor the development surrounding geopolitical risks. Any signs of escalation could lift the US Dollar (USD) against the Loonie.

potential trades to develop 11/19/2024Welcome back, In this video, we provide a detailed analysis of the volatility that occurred in our previous submission. The volatility peaked at 6:30 p.m. and was directly attributed to the release of fundamental news information regarding the USD and CAD currencies. Following this development, we conducted further research to assess the potential impact of the volatility on trade opportunities. Utilizing correlation analysis, we identified that the USD experienced significant weakness, while the CHF, despite its weaker position on the chart, outperformed most of our weaker currencies, including AUD, GBP, and USD. Based on these findings, we remain vigilant for further market developments. Should we identify a suitable trade opportunity, we will provide a comprehensive explanation of our decision-making process. Subsequently, we will conduct a thorough post-analysis to assess the outcome of the trade. We anticipate your continued interest and look forward to sharing our insights with you.

Trading USDCAD and AUDUSD | Silver Bullet Strategy 18/11/2024The Silver Bullet strategy, introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT), aims to exploit certain market conditions within specific time frames. It involves strategically placing entries at the initial fair value gap that emerges within these periods. Yesterday, we executed trades using this strategy and we plan to show you how to incorporate this strategy into your trading toolkit. Firstly, it's crucial to understand what a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is and recognize the optimal time to look for these trades, which is between 10:00 and 11:00 EST. In order to get into the groove of trading we got to our trading desk at 09:55 and with the help of the sessions indicator we have the our trading zones mapped out for us. It should be noted that the initial candle marking the start of a trading session cannot constitute the Fair Value Gap (FVG), but it can serve as the first candle in the formation of an FVG. The trading session began, and we were scouting for setups to trade using the silver bullet strategy. After 15 minutes, we noticed a Fair Value Gap (FVG) had formed on the USDCAD pair, which drew our attention to it. This development indicates that we should be on the lookout for potential selling opportunities this trading session. We must wait for price to retrace back to the FVG and only execute a trade after the candle that enters the FVG has closed. This approach helps us avoid trades that enter the FVG and immediately hit our stop-loss. After 10-minutes we got a retracement into the Fair Value Gap (FVG), and given that price did not surpass the high of the first candle in the FVG formation, we can enter this trade. A 10 pip stop loss will be set to provide sufficient room for the trade to develop. After initiating the trade, our USDCAD position experienced minimal drawdown, and by 10:35, it was progressing favorably in our desired direction. Simultaneously, we were evaluating potential setups on other currency pairs and observed the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on AUDUSD. The next candle retraced into the Fair Value Gap (FVG) created on the AUDUSD pair, indicating that upon its close, we could execute a trade on this pair. The USDCAD position swiftly hit the take profit (TP) target. Within just 25 minutes, we completed this trade and shifted our focus to the other open position, AUDUSD. The AUDUSD position was also moving favorably in the direction we anticipated. After a period of waiting, we checked the position and found that it had reached the Take Profit (TP) after two hours. We succeeded in both trades we entered yesterday, risking 1% on each and aiming for a total gain of 4%. As observed, both trades experienced minimal drawdown, but this does not guarantee similar entries in the future. It is advisable to backtest this strategy and collect sufficient data to reinforce your confidence should you choose to trade using this strategy.

4-hr USD/CAD: Pullback Opens The Door For New BuyersThe USD/CAD pair has demonstrated a strong bullish trend, gaining nearly 300 pips since the start of the month. Despite occasional pullbacks and periods of consolidation, the pair's upward momentum remains robust, supported by the formation of a Golden Cross, where the 20-day moving average (MA) rises above the 60-day MA. This technical signal, often viewed as a historical indicator of continued buying potential, suggests further upside in the broader trend. From a risk-to-reward standpoint, however, buyers may benefit from waiting for a deeper correction to optimize entry points. Recently, the pair dipped to a support level corresponding to the 38% Fibonacci retracement, but trading volume has not yet been sufficient to reignite a strong bullish rally. Before the upward trend resumes, a further correction could retest the 1.3963 area, aligning with the 50% Fibonacci retracement. This level may provide a more favorable entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the prevailing uptrend. With the broader trend still intact, such a pullback could offer an advantageous setup for buyers seeking to join the momentum.
