EUR/CAD Trend Break Out Ahead

OUTLOOK

EUR/CAD gapped over 1,500 points on yesterdays open due to Greek news released over the weekend of a referendum scheduled for July 5th, with many investors expecting bailout proposals to be rejected. EUR/CAD quickly recovered any losses and closed the day higher than previous three candles creating a text book bullish engulfing pattern.

Prices overall rejected and bounced off key monthly/weekly support levels @ 1.35114 (which was the initial target of my previous analysis) and closed above the 61.8% Weekly Fib level (found @1.38700 area) indicating a breakout to the upside ahead.

NOTE: Although a very prominent bullish engulfing pattern found, expect large swings (long tailed candlesticks) to occur over the course of the next couple of weeks.

CONCLUSION: BULLISH BIAS
