GBPUSD bears keep 1.2500 on radar, UK inflation eyedGBPUSD licks its wounds around 1.2600 early Wednesday as traders await the UK inflation clues for January. That said, the Cable pair marked a stellar move the previous day, initially rising to a seven-day high before posting the biggest daily loss in a week while reversing from the 50-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It should be noted that Tuesday’s reversal from 50-EMA also defends the Pound Sterling’s early month break of a 12-week-old rising support line, now resistance around 1.2685. Additionally, the bearish MACD signals and an absence of the oversold RSI (14) also keep the pair sellers hopeful. However, a convergence of the 200-EMA and multiple levels marked since early December 2023, close to 1.2520-2500, appears a tough nut to crack for the pair bears. In a case where the prices drop below 1.2500, the mid-November 2023 swing low of around 1.2375 will be in the spotlight. Alternatively, the strong UK inflation numbers could allow the GBPUSD pair to have another battle with the 50-EMA and the aforementioned support-turned-resistance, respectively near 1.2635 and 1.2675. If at all the Cable bulls manage to keep the reins past 1.2675, a downward-sloping resistance line from January 12, close to 1.2770 by the press time, will be the final defense of the pair sellers. Following that, the late 2023 peak of near 1.2830 and the 1.3000 psychological magnet will lure the Pound Sterling buyers. Overall, the GBPUSD pair remains bearish unless staying below 1.2675, especially when the US inflation data appears more lucrative to the Fed hawks. Even so, the Bank of England (BoE) officials have been optimistic of late and hence today’s UK inflation clues will be closely observed for clear directions.

Gold teases sellers above $2,000 as US inflation loomsGold price stays pressured for the fifth consecutive day, licking its wounds around $2,018 early Tuesday, as traders brace for the all-important US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for January, scheduled for release later in the day. In doing so, the XAUUSD justifies the previous day’s downside break of a two-month-old rising support line, now immediate resistance surrounding $2,021. Also keeping the bullion sellers hopeful is the impending bear cross on the MACD. It’s worth noting, however, that the pre-data anxiety joins the nearly oversold RSI to challenge the precious metal bears. That said, January’s low of around $2,000 appears immediate support to watch for the metal sellers during the further downside. However, a downward-sloping trend line from December 15, 2023, forming part of a broad bearish channel, will challenge the bears near $1,990 afterward. On the flip side, a surprise recovery of the Gold Price needs to stay beyond the support-turned-resistance line of nearly $2,021 to convince the intraday buyers. Even so, the 200-SMA surrounding $2,037 could test the XAUUSD bulls before giving them control. In a case where the precious metal remains firmer past the key SMA hurdle, the top line of an aforementioned channel, close to $2,058 at the latest, will precede a six-week-old horizontal resistance of $2,066 to gain the market’s attention. Overall, the Gold Price is likely to extend the latest fall but the downside room appears limited. Also, the US inflation numbers need to defend the Fed’s efforts to push back the rate cut bias to keep the XAUUSD bears hopeful.

“Double Doji” lures big-time NZDUSD bulls as key week beginsNZDUSD edges higher past 0.6100 while defending the rebound from 200-SMA during early hours of the key week comprising New Zealand (NZ) Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the US PMIs for January. In doing so, the Kiwi pair also justifies the “Double Doji” bullish candlestick formation to consolidate the biggest weekly loss in six months. Additionally favoring the bullish bias is the RSI (14) line’s rebound from nearly oversold conditions and receding bearish bias of the MACD signals. It’s worth noting, however, that a daily closing beyond 0.6140 becomes necessary to confirm the bullish candlestick pattern. In that case, a convergence of a three-week-old falling resistance line and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of October-December 2023 upside, near 0.6230, will gain the market’s attention ahead of the late 2023 peak surrounding 0.6370. On the flip side, the 200-SMA level of 0.6090 restricts immediate downside of the NZDUSD pair. Following that, the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci ratios could test the Kiwi pair bears around 0.6070 and 0.6000 respectively. If at all the NZ inflation fails to inspire the pair buyers and/or the US data came in too strong and pushes back the dovish Fed concerns, the sellers won’t hesitate to target the mid-November 2023 bottom of near 0.5860 before aiming for the previous yearly low of around 0.5770. Overall, NZDUSD pair’s recovery appears overdue but the fundamentals need to back the upside and hence bulls should remain cautious.

GBPUSD bears approach key supports as UK, US data loomGBPUSD remains pressured at the lowest level in eight days after breaking a five-week-long trend line support the previous day. Apart from the support break, bearish MACD signals and an absence of oversold RSI also keep the Cable sellers hopeful. With this, the quote’s further downside toward the 1.2600 support confluence, comprising a 50% Fibonacci retracement of July-October downside and 50-SMA, appears imminent. However, the 200-SMA level surrounding 1.2545 appears a tough nut to crack for the Pound Sterling sellers, a break of which will make the pair vulnerable to slump toward the 1.2330-20 support zone comprising multiple levels marked since late May 2023. Alternatively, the GBPUSD pair’s corrective bounce needs validation from the aforementioned previous support line, close to 1.2665 at the latest, to convince the short-term buyers. Following that, a 5.5-month-old horizontal resistance area near 1.2790, quickly followed by the 1.2800 threshold, will test the quote’s further upside. In a case where the Cable buyers manage to keep the reins past 1.2800, the 11-week-long support-turned-resistance near 1.2890 and the 1.2900 round figure will be the last defense of the Pound Sterling sellers. Apart from the bearish technical signals, the comparative economic pessimism surrounding the UK and recent hawkish bias about the Federal Reserve (Fed) also keeps the GBPUSD sellers hopeful as the UK inflation and the US Retail Sales loom.

USDCAD jumps to one-month high ahead of Canada inflationUSDCAD rises for the fourth consecutive day while poking the 200-SMA as the pair traders await Canadian inflation data, namely the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) CPI. It’s worth noting that the firmer RSI (14) line and the bullish MACD signals favor the latest bull run. Adding strength to the upside bias is the daily closing beyond the previous resistance line stretched from early November. However, the RSI line is approaching the overbought territory and hence suggests a limited upside room for the quote. As a result, the 200-SMA level of 1.3480 appears a tough nut to crack for the Loonie pair buyers, a break of which will open doors for the quote’s quick run-up toward the previous monthly high of around 1.3620. Meanwhile, the USDCAD pair’s pullback remains elusive unless the quote stays beyond the resistance-turned-support line of around 1.3400. Should the Loonie pair remain bearish past 1.3400 and gain support from upbeat Canada inflation data, its further declines toward the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the July-November upside, near 1.3260, followed by the previous monthly low of around 1.3180, can’t be ruled out. It’s worth noting, however, that the year 2023 low marked in July near 1.3090 and the 1.3000 psychological magnet appears as the last defense of the pair buyers. Overall, the USDCAD pair secures its place on the bull’s radar ahead of the key Canada data.

Gold sellers need validation from $2,017 and US CPIGold price remains on the back foot for the second consecutive week, so far, as traders await the key US inflation data, namely the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for December. That said, the precious metal’s sustained trading beneath crucial Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and mostly steady RSI (14) line keeps the XAUUSD sellers hopeful. However, an upward-sloping trend line from early November, close to $2,017 by the press time, restricts the downside of the bullion. Should the quote manage to break the stated key support line, backed by upbeat US inflation numbers, the sellers can quickly aim for the previous monthly low of around $1,973. However, the $2,000 threshold may act as an intermediate halt. On the contrary, the Gold buyers need to portray a successful break beyond the 50-EMA and the 100-EMA convergence, near $2,040, to reclaim the market’s confidence. Even so, the downbeat US CPI and a sustained run-up beyond a five-week-old falling resistance line, close to $2,055 as we write, become necessary for the XAUUSD bulls. Following that, the previous monthly high of around $2,090 will be the last defense of the sellers before directing the quote toward the record high marked in 2023 surrounding $2,048. Overall, the Gold sellers are flexing muscles but the metal’s downside move hinges on a $2,017 break and the US CPI.

12th Dec ’23 BankNifty PostMortem - India's inflation at 5.5%BankNifty Analysis BankNifty had a better price action today than Nifty. In the sense that the down move was more stable and compelling. Since yesterday we said we would love to go neutral below 47000 - we are changing the status now. 4mts chart link - click here Even though the day’s low was only 47004, I would prefer to go with the status change because of 2 reasons. FinNifty had a dichotomy with BankNifty today - this may be expiry-related. After 11.00 AM, BankNifty had no attempt to go up, it was just too tired to even try. We got the inflation data today, India’s Retail Inflation 5.55 per cent in November 2023. source PIB. Vegetables 17.7% inflation, fruits - 10.95%, cereals - 10.27%, pulses - 20.23%. Quite surprised to see fuel and light deflated to -0.77% even without a fuel price drop. Crude oil has fallen 40% and yet we do not have a cut in petrol or diesel prices. Inflation hits the most for the poorest segment of the population where the marginal propensity to consume is higher. 63mts chart link - click here BankNifty is also above the ascending channel, only if it drops below the lower limit we can really get into a bearish zone. But looking at the price action today, I would like to play tomorrow’s expiry on a neutral tone.

GBPUSD bulls flex muscles ahead of UK employment, US inflationGBPUSD picks up bids to extend the previous day’s rebound from a six-week-old rising support line as traders prepare for the UK jobs report and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on early Tuesday. In doing so, the Cable pair also justifies a recovery in the RSI (14) line. However, a fortnight-old descending trend channel joins the sluggish MACD signals to challenge buyers. Should the quote manage to cross the 1.2580 immediate hurdle, its run-up toward a downward-sloping resistance line from late November, near 1.2690, will be imminent. Following that, the previous monthly high of near 1.2735 and a seven-week-long rising resistance line, close to 1.2870, will be in the spotlight. Meanwhile, a downside break of the aforementioned support line, around 1.2540 by the press time, isn’t an open invitation to the GBPUSD sellers as the bottom line of the previously stated channel and the 200-SMA, respectively near 1.2470 and 1.2420, will challenge the fall. Also acting as the downside filter is the mid-November swing low surrounding 1.2370, a break of which will make the Pound Sterling vulnerable to dropping toward the November 10 trough near 1.2185. Overall, GBPUSD is likely to reverse the previous week’s losses unless the UK/US data recall the pair sellers.

USDCAD sellers need validation from 1.3670 and Canada inflation USDCAD fades the week-start recovery as market players await Canada inflation data on early Tuesday. In doing so, the Loonie pair defends the previous week’s U-turn from the 100-SMA while retreating towards a two-month-old rising support line. Adding strength to the bearish bias are the downbeat MACD signals and the mostly steady RSI (14). However, the quote’s further downside needs a clear downside break of the aforementioned trend line support, close to 1.3670 by the press time, as well as upbeat prints of the Canada Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) CPI for October. That said, the pair’s sustained downside past 1.3670, backed by strong Canada inflation, could quickly drag prices to the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci ratios of the pair’s September-November upside, respectively near 1.3640 and 1.3570. Meanwhile, USDCAD buyers need to cross the 100-SMA level of 1.3770 and must get support from the Canada inflation to retake control. Even so, a downward-sloping resistance line from early November, close to 1.3815 at the latest, will act as an extra filter toward the north. Following that, the pair’s run-up toward the monthly high of around 1.3890 and then to the 1.4000 psychological magnet can’t be ruled out. Overall, USDCAD is likely to remain on the bear’s radar but needs strong Canada inflation data to drop further.

11th Nov ’23 Nifty PostMortem - US CPI spoils the play totallyNifty Analysis Recap from yesterday: “Since its a holiday tomorrow, the view for Wednesday could be a bit complicated. Ideally, I wish to maintain the neutral stance as nothing has changed but how SPX behaves today and tomorrow also has to be considered.” It indeed became pretty complicated today, we directly jumped from below the resistance point to well over the support point i.e. below 19446 to above 19562. The gap-up was almost 212pts ~ 1.09%, the reason - Lesser than expected US CPI (Inflation data). In fact, the US CPI was only 10 basis points below the expectation, but it gave a feeling of “no more rate hikes” by FED. SPX ended yesterday with a gain of 1.91% and for the first time, I regret having a holiday in between. When there is news, technical analysis will go for a spin and if you have a holiday in between - it will be a tailspin. I had to change my stance from neutral to bullish in the opening minutes itself as it went above the resistance of 19562. Even though we had a tail in the opening 5mts candle, it ended up holding its ground. Nifty picked up some more strength as time passed by and we closed toward the high point of the day. On the 1hr chart, the next target to break will be 19776 which is just 100pts away. Something that is easily possible if SPX holds its ground today. Since most of the market participants are long-only, any upsurge will sweep in more market participants. To change my stance back to neutral, Nifty has to fall below 19562 and stay down tomorrow.

12th Oct ’23 - BN hides the NiftyIT fall today - PostMortem BankNifty Analysis Banknifty also had a perfect flat day today. Since we did not have an attempt to fall, I assume the bulls have a slight advantage over the bears. Its inability to take out the 44738 resistance was also quite worrying. But there was something strange and heroic by BN today. NiftyIT was falling pretty sharply today on the back of results from TCS. INFY also started falling even though the results came after market hours. NiftyIT fell 1.67% today but had a total swing range of 2% today. The major reason why it was not reflecting on Nifty50 was due to BankNifty’s counter-performance along with RELIANCE & ITC. Will try to write an article this weekend on why NiftyIT should have Futures & Options enabled and an independent expiry day. The only volatile index out there is IT and since we have a VIX collapse the option sellers are making only peanuts these days (me included). NiftyIT if enabled for FnO will have attractive premiums as it is quite expected to move 1.5 to 2% intraday. On the 1hr chart, BN shows a sideways pattern. I wish to continue my neutral stance till the resistance of 44738 is taken out. And wish to change to bearish if we break the 44380 levels. After the market closed we got the CPI inflation data and it came at 5.02% - source. This should give a positive boost for tomorrow. Also, the US CPI came at 3.7% - source - but as it stands SPX is trading flat.

14 Aug ’23 Post Mortem on Nifty | CPI comes at 7.44% RBI missed?After the trades on Friday, I modified my stance to 100% bearish. What other boon could I ask for when we had the opening 5mts better than expected? “The first target to take out will be the recent swing low of 19296. The next support comes at 19190.’ As soon as 19300 was taken out in the 2nd candle, my conviction for a bear rally was growing. But that did not last long enough, the bears were unable to push down the prices further and this hesitation gave the confidence for bulls to make their move. There were 2 news/events that should have tipped the scale to the bear’s favor Deloitte quitting Adani’s audits Net Interest margin could take a hit, HDFC bank The first news was speculative, it does not give any indication of the health of Adani’s finances (atleast for the general public). Auditors could resign for a number of reasons. Whereas the second news was more authoritative as it came from the CEO himself. The final impact ADANIENT down -3.29% and HDFCBK down -0.49% (not at all a big impact). The bulk of the recovery was by RELIANCE, INFY and HUL and I am quite sure 99% of the traders would not have guessed Nifty will close in the green today. I had sights on 19500 CE at Rs19 levels which ended at Rs40 today. If I had any clue of the power of bulls, I would have grabbed on to this opportunity! At the end of the day, what got formed is a classic double bottom at the support level of 19311 and a descending bearish trend line. If it goes like this - it becomes a falling wedge pattern which is not at all good for the bears. Having said that, there is one piece of comforting news for the bears. The retail CPI inflation comes in at 7.44% a 15 month high. Guessing RBI made a big mistake of not hiking the interest rate last thursday. I continue to remain bearish as of now, if the support level is getting broken in the next session - it's an advantage. If not the wedge (triangle) will catch up and it could even mean a reversal of trends.

EURUSD sellers prepare for entry, 1.0930 and US inflation eyedEURUSD bears appear running out of steam during the fourth weekly loss as it grinds near the key support confluence within a five-month-old bullish channel ahead of the US inflation. In doing so, the Euro pair seesaws between a three-week-old falling resistance line and a confluence of the 100-DMA and a rising support line from November 2022, respectively near 1.0970 and 1.0930. It’s worth noting that the MACD and RSI signal the return of the buyers but a clear downside break of 1.0930 could quickly challenge the bullish channel by poking the 1.0760 mark comprising the stated channel’s support line. In a case where the Euro bears ignore oscillators and break the 1.0760 support, May’s low of 1.0688 may act as an intermediate halt before dragging the quote toward the lows marked in February and January of 2023, close to 1.0515 and 1.0480 in that order. On the flip side, a clear upside break of the aforementioned three-week-old descending resistance line, close to 1.0970 at the latest, becomes necessary for the EURUSD bull’s return. Following that, the tops marked in February and April, near 1.1035 and 1.1095 in that order will gain the market’s attention. In a case where the Euro buyers dominate past 1.1095, the yearly high marked in July around 1.1275 and the previously stated bullish channel’s top line, close to 1.1285, should lure the bids. Overall, EURUSD is hitting strong support ahead of the key event that’s likely to underpin the US Dollar pullback, which in turn requires sellers to remain cautious before taking a fresh short position.

AUDUSD portrays bearish triangle on Australia inflation, Fed decAUDUSD fades bounce off 200-EMA, reversing from a one-week-old falling resistance line, as Australian inflation and the Federal Reserve (Fed) Interest Rate Decision decorate the calendar. Given the downbeat oscillators, as well as the Aussie pair’s placement within a two-month-old bearish triangle, the quote stays on the seller’s radar. However, a clear downside break of the stated triangle’s bottom line, close to 0.6690, becomes necessary to convince bears, not to forget the need for a sustained close beneath the 200-EMA level of 0.6730. Following that, the late June low surrounding 0.6595 and the previous monthly bottom of near 0.6485 will gain the market’s attention. In a case where the Aussie pair remains bearish past 0.6485, the theoretical target of the bearish triangle confirmation, near 0.6240, should be logical to expect as the target for the short positions. On the contrary, an upside break of the seven-day-old resistance line, around 0.6790 at the latest, will precede the 0.6800 round figure and the last weekly high of near 0.6850 could test the AUDUSD buyers. However, major attention will be given to the triangle’s top surrounding 0.6900, a break of which won’t hesitate to propel the Aussie pair toward the 0.7000 psychological magnet. Should the quote stays firmer past 0.7000, the mid-February peak of around 0.7030 may check the upside momentum ahead of directing the bulls to the yearly top close to 0.7160. Overall, AUDUSD appears slipping off the bull’s radar but the sellers need validation from the triangle breakdown and the fundamentals.

Gold buyers appear well-set to visit $1,985 hurdleGold price rises to the highest level in a month after crossing a convergence of the 200-SMA and a six-week-old descending trend line, around $1,940 by the press time. The breakout joins bullish MACD signals to keep XAUUSD buyers hopeful. However, the overbought RSI (14) conditions suggest limited upside room, which in turn highlights a horizontal resistance area comprising multiple tops marked since May 18, close to $1,985. It’s worth noting that the metal’s upside past $1,985 appears difficult as the $2,000 psychological magnet and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of May-June downside, near $2,030, could challenge the bulls before directing them to the yearly top marked in May around $2,067. On the contrary, Gold price pullback remains elusive unless the quote stays beyond the $1,940 resistance-turned-support comprising the 200-SMA and a 1.5-month-long falling trend line. Following that, the early-month swing high of around $1,934 and the previous resistance line stretched from May 04, close to 1,916, at the latest, will challenge the XAUUSD sellers. In a case where the bullion bears keep the reins past $1,916, the $1,900 will act as the last defense of the bulls. Overall, Gold Price is likely to rise further towards the short-term key resistance as the US Dollar drops heavily.

12 Jul '23 Post Mortem on Nifty | Will the bulls be We had 2 downward selling momentum, the first one mainly due to the gap up opening - which saw a loss of 106pts by 12.00 and then the 2nd one between 14.40 to close which erased 99pts. Technically Nifty has fallen only 55pts today, the gap-up messed up the numbers. So we had a dip below the yesterday's swing low and retraced all the way to the close of 10th July. The 19504 level is proving to be quite a resistance, rightly so because its the ATH levels. To break free Nifty needs more momentum & the only way to do that is reverse from a sharp fall. Well it made a try on 11th but failed. The 1hr TF has still not turned bearish, for that to happen we should fall below 19301 within the opening hour tomorrow or close the day below 19338. There will be 3 things to watch out tomorrow. 1. India's MoM CPI comes in higher at 4.81% 2. US CPI comes in lower at 3.0% 3. HDFC gets delisted on 13th July Trades Taken & Rationale I was quite surprised to see the gap up open today and the 19300/19400 CE bullish debit spread was trading profitably. I almost had complete belief that N50 will not fall that much. Even when we hit an intraday low by 12.03 my position was deep in losses & did not square off. You wont believe I got panicked by seeing the 13.35 candle, somehow it did not feel right & eventually I closed the position at loss by around 13.42. The prices were 19300 @149.7 & 19400 @72.25. By around 13.50 I started feeling guilty to have over reacted and thought of entering into another bullish spread in the 20th July series. But seeing the 15.00 and 15.05 candles, my guilt turned into relief. Had I held onto those trades the losses would have been 3 times more.

AUDUSD retreats from 0.6700 as China inflation easesAUDUSD consolidates the first weekly gain in three as softer inflation numbers from the biggest customers, namely China, drag the quote from a fortnight-old falling resistance line, around the 0.6700 round figure. The pullback move also retreats as the RSI eases from the overbought territory, which in turn suggests the Aussie pair’s further weakness towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of May-Jun upside, near 0.6630. However, a horizontal area comprising multiple levels marked since June 01, close to 0.6585-95, appears a tough nut to crack for the bears. In a case where the sellers dominate past 0.6585, the odds of witnessing a slump toward the late May swing low of around 0.6458 can’t be ruled out. Meanwhile, the aforementioned two-week-long descending resistance line around 0.6700 guards the immediate upside of the AUDUSD pair ahead of the 100-SMA hurdle surrounding 0.6715. Following that, the late June high of near 0.6720 and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of near 0.6800 can challenge the risk-barometer pair’s upside before directing the bulls toward the previous monthly high of around 0.6900. Overall, AUDUSD’s previous weekly gain appears a one-off affair unless the US inflation signals keep softening.

EURUSD teases sellers on US inflation dayAfter multiple failures to cross the 1.1100 hurdle, EURUSD broke a five-week-old ascending support line as US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April looms. The major currency pair’s bearish signal also gains support from the downbeat MACD and RSI conditions. However, the 50-DMA and 100-DMA levels, respectively near 1.0850 and 1.0785, can check the Euro bears before giving them control. Even so, tops marked during late 2022 around 1.0710 may act as the last defense of the buyers before directing prices towards the YTD lows of around 1.0515. Meanwhile, a corrective bounce remains elusive unless rising back beyond the previous support line stretched from early April, close to 1.1000 by the press time. Even so, a three-month-old upward-sloping resistance line, close to 1.1100, appears a tough nut to crack for the EURUSD bulls to regain their power. Following that, a run-up towards the late March 2022 high of near 1.1185 will be in the spotlight. Overall, EURUSD bulls have finally stepped back after multiple attempts to conquer the 1.1100. However, their defeat isn’t confirmed yet as the US inflation data and the key support can surprise markets. Hence, there prevails a need to be cautious while trading this key event.

AUDUSD eyes further downside on Australia inflation dayAUDUSD stays below the key support line stretched from the last October, after multiple rejections from the 100-DMA hurdle, as traders analyze Australian inflation data on Wednesday. With a clear break of important previous support joining downbeat RSI and bearish MACD signals, the Aussie pair has a further downside to track. The same highlights the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s October 2022 to February 2023 upside, near 0.6545, as immediate support to watch. Following that, the late October swing high near 0.6520 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement surrounding 0.6380 could lure the Aussie bears. Meanwhile, the AUDUSD rebound needs to remain successfully beyond the aforementioned previous support line from late 2022, close to 0.6685 at the latest, to push back the bearish bias. In a case where the Aussie pair rises past 0.6685, the 100-DMA level near 0.6800 could regain the market’s attention as a break of which will lure the bulls. Should the quote remains bearish past 0.6800, the December 2022 peak of around 0.6895 and the 0.6900 round figure could act as the last defense of the sellers. Overall, AUDUSD finally slips into the bear’s radar and is likely to drop further unless the quote stays beyond 0.6800.

USDCAD stays on bear’s radar as US inflation, BoC loomsBe it a clear downside break of the 10-week-old ascending trend line or sustained trading below the 200-SMA, not to forget the latest fall below one-week-long rising trend line, USDCAD has it all to keep its place on the bear’s radar. The quote’s further downside, however, hinges on the Bank of Canada (BoC) monetary policy decision and the US Consumer Price Index data, as well as the FOMC Meeting Minutes. That said, the monthly low of around 1.3400 and multiple levels marked near the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s February-March upside, close to 1.3390, could test the Loonie pair sellers. In a case where the bears keep the reins past 1.3390, February’s low of around 1.3260 will be in focus. Meanwhile, USDCAD recovery initially needs to cross the weekly support-turned-resistance of around 1.3500 before poking the 50% Fibonacci retracement hurdle, around 1.3560, to convince intraday buyers. Even so, the previous support line from early February, close to 1.3615-20, could challenge the upside momentum. If at all the Loonie pair manages to cross the 1.3620 hurdle, a convergence of the 200-SMA and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement will act as the final defense for bears near 1.3630. Should the quote remains firmer past 1.3630, backed by price-positive fundamentals, a run-up towards 1.3740 and 1.3800 can’t be ruled out. To sum up, USDCAD is well-set for further downside on a key day for the pair traders.
