Canadian dollar downtrend any time



It’s time for me to continue updating the blog on important Forex releases. This week hasn’t been very rich in fundamental events and we haven’t seen much action yet. Yesterday’s FED minutes failed to create volatility and market participants will probably trade with the bias that they have rather than information that they got from fundamental news. I am looking at various Canadian dollar pairs now and I see that ‘the loonie’ has a huge potential to fall long term. Weekly charts clearly show that there is a big probability of breakouts in various CAD pairs and this is not good news for the currency.

We have CPI from Canada this Friday and it could be a real catalyst for sharp move of prices. It is always very difficult to say when will the break occur, but in my opinion the phrase ‘sooner rather than later’ fits very well in this case. British Pound Canadian dollar pair was able to break about 200 sma on a weekly chart. After being for a very long time in a downtrend the pair went above the average this June, then broke down, but for the last three weeks it regained the lost ground and is above it again. The pair is playing with 1.6400 level which is the breakout point and I intend go long if the pair goes above it next time. The same can be said about other CAD pairs. Be aware of that. There might be some rest and consolidation happening right now, but as I said, I think the time of the breakout is near. Let us wait for tomorrow.
