Multi-Decade Range in AUD/CAD to Continue

fxsurprise8 Publié 31 déc comme Analyse sur AUD/CAD, Cible: 0.9686, Date: 1 de février, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #AUD #CAD #AUD/CAD #Aussie #Range #Loonie #Range Bound #Range Box #Congestion
In trading you learn early that history matters. Both the Aussie and the Loonie are commodity currencies. Commodities tend to rally or fall together in giant super-cycles. So more often then not, if the AUD is under pressure so will be the CAD, leading to ranges between the two. The first chart below demonstrates this clearly.
On the second chart we see that the post-US election rally has completely reversed with the pair surrendering almost of gains.
Because all of the above I think that the AU…

AUD/CAD Little Changed in Decades

fxsurprise8 Publié 30 sep comme Analyse sur AUD/CAD, Cible: 1.0048, Date: 1 de novembre, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #AUD #CAD #AUD/CAD #Aussie #Australian Dollar #Canadian Dollar #Loonie #Range Bound #Range Box
The AUD/CAD is trading little changed in decades, as you can see on our first chart below. There is a fundamental reason for this, both the Aussie and the Loonie are commodity currencies. Commodities tend to rally or fall together in giant super-cycles. So more often then not, if the AUD is under pressure so will be the CAD, leading to no major price move against each other.
But let's drill down a bit. On our next chart below we can see what has been happening inside that small rectangle marked …

Seven-Year Range in AUD/CAD

fxsurprise8 Publié 30 juin comme Analyse sur AUD/CAD, Cible: 0.9647, Date: 1 de août, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #AUD #CAD #AUD/CAD #Australian Dollar #Canadian Dollar #Loonie #Commodity #Range Bound #Commodity Currencies
We're written about this pair in previous TA posts. What makes this pair interesting for us is that its composed of two commodity currencies, AUD and CAD. Both Australia and Canada are big commodity exporters. Most commodities tend to move in large bull/bear cycles. This means that most of the time the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar will move in tandem. Exhibit number one, weekly chart below.
Notice how for the past seven plus years this pair has been range-bound. We even added a 200-…

Return to Mean Reversion for AUD/CAD

fxsurprise8 Publié 30 avr comme Analyse sur AUD/CAD, Cible: 0.9548, Date: 1 de juin, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #AUD #CAD #AUD/CAD #Aussie #Loonie #Range Bound #Range Trading #Mean Reversion
The AUD/CAD is a strange beast. Comprised of two commodity currencies, sometimes this pair is calm as it can be, while other times it goes completely crazy. We seem to be in the second phase right now. On the daily chart below the AUD/CAD has entered into heavily oversold area. The Stoch is flashing extreme values of 7. Below 20 is oversold according to traditional technical analysis.
But pairs can remain oversold long after they've hit 20 on the Stochastic. Why bet on stabilization here? Well l…

This pair is trading mixed with a slightly bearish bias. By the middle of May a low of 0.9360 was hit. Since then we bounced higher to a 0.9510, close to my forecast.

But selling in the past two days has brought us back down to 0.9365. Hopefully we will again bounce from here as we did last time.

As I noted in my initial post, the AUD/CAD is comprised of two commodity currencies. Because of this mean-reversion is the name of the game, most of the time anyway.

Not much progress today in the AUD/CAD. We're up by only 11 pips to 0.9374. This is about 1.8% below my target, so plenty of more room to cover.

With a three-day weekend coming up in the States and Yellen's testimony tomorrow (as well as US GDP) traders seem unwilling to take on risk. This is the picture across the majors as well (EUR/USD, USD/JPY) not just on this pair.

We may have to wait for these risk events to pass before we see a sustained movement in currency markets.

Lot of volatility in the AUD/CAD this Friday with no conclusion. We opened at 0.9374 and  rallied to a high of 0.9423 by mid-day.

From here however heavy selling took us back down to the daily open and below. We closed at 0.9353.

The wild gyrations give me some hope that we'll see strong movement in AUD/CAD that could take the pair toward my target.

Calmer Month for Canadian Dollar

The USD/CAD had a wild ride for the past year. Initially it rallied strongly on US Dollar strength then fell as Oil (a major CAD export) recovered. On the first pic we can see that after a the large decline the charts are finally flashing oversold. Furthermore we've now ticked up from the 20 Stochastic level and heading higher, added confirmation that we may see an end to the losses.
An added supporting factor for a bounce higher is that the long-term trend is still up. On the second chart we ca…

Volatility in USD/CAD to Die Down

fxsurprise8 Publié 31 mai comme Analyse sur USD/CAD, Cible: 1.2455, Date: 1 de juillet, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #USA #Oil #USD/CAD #Canada #Us Dollar #Us Economy #Loonie #Wti CMD/USD
The USD/CAD experienced unprecedented volatility this year, largely due to the oil price shock. Prices first fell over 50 percent to below $50/barrel, then rallied 50% from here to just above $64 dollars. Canada is a large oil exporter. You can see these swings on the weekly chart below.
But with Oil starting to enter a range between $50 and $60 dollar per barrel, the USD/CAD should stabilize as well. Canada may also benefit from the stronger US economy.
On the technical front, we seem to be top…

My prediction has been spot on so far. The USD/CAD bounced right at the 1.2500 mark then fell over 370 pips to a low of 1.2170. But again as predicted that volatility will decline, the lows were quickly bought up and the currency pair rallied back to the 1.2500. The total monthly range for USD/CAD is 436 pips so far.

Prices are currently trading at 1.2476, about 21 pips above my target. Hoping for some US Dollar weakness into the end of the month.

Volailtiy in the Loonie to Go Down

fxsurprise8 Publié 30 nov comme Analyse sur USD/CAD, Cible: 1.1428, Date: 2 de janvier, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #CAD #USD/CAD #Us Dollar #Canadian Dollar #Loonie
The Loonie experienced a lot of volatility during the past few months. Traders sold Canadian Dollars as oil prices plummeted 33% in 4 months. Canada is a large producer and exporter of oil. The USD/CAD rallied from a low of 1.0620 on July 3rd to a high of 1.1466 on November 5th.
Since then however, prices have stalled. The pair even reversed some of the losses, falling to 1.1191 on November 21st. The last two days have brought us renewed selling after OPEC producers didn't take any action to cur…

Loonie to Fail Test at 1.1200

fxsurprise8 Publié 30 sep comme Analyse sur USD/CAD, Cible: 1.1190, Date: 3 de novembre, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #CAD #USD/CAD #Canada #Us Dollar #Usdcad #Canadian Dollar #Loonie
The USD/CAD has a stellar September that saw it rally 326 pips. Prices are currently pushing right on the 1.1200 round figure.
This is somewhat of an important milestone for the currency pair. Back in March of this year, prices spiked at 1.1278 then fell over 600 pips. Given the strong rally so far I don't expect a major selloff but I do think that the gains for the USD are overdone. Thus I'm betting on prices being subdued below 1.1200.

While the 1.1200 level didn't hold, the rally slowed down substantially in October. The USD/CAD is currently trading at 1.1250, 60 pips away from my target. The FOMC meeting on Wednesday may push the pair back below 1.1200.

Good Canadian figures and a weak US Dollar pushed the USD/CAD to my target...and then the pair fell some more to completely overshoot 1.1190. We are currently trading at 1.1138, still a long ways of from 1.1190

The FOMC decision helped my ''position'' by jump-staring a US Dollar rally. The US Central Bank issued a surprisingly hawkish statement, upping its assessment of the US economy. According to the FOMC, there has been a substantial improvement in the jobs outlook and the underlying strength in the broader US economy.

The USD/CAD moved up from 1.1130 to 1.1224 in the aftermath of the Fed statement. Since then the pair has weakened somewhat and is currently trading at 1.1196, just 6 pips away from my target!

Loonie to Stay Put

fxsurprise8 Publié 31 aou comme Analyse sur USD/CAD, Cible: 1.0870, Date: 1 de octobre, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #CAD #USD/CAD #Loonie
The Loonie has spent all of August in a tight 190 pips range between a high of 1.0997 and a low of 1.0810. I expect the pair to stay put in September.
We are currently right in the middle of this congestion area at 1.0870. I see no impetus that would cause the currency pair to breakout in either direction. On the top end, the 1.1000 is an important resistance level that has been tested on two separate occasions in 2014. On the lower end, the August 29 pin bar formed by the Loonie's reversal shou…

CAD/JPY to Rally Further

fxsurprise8 Publié 31 juillet comme Analyse sur CAD/JPY, Cible: 94.4410, Date: 1 de septembre, 12:00 GMT  dans #Technical analysis #CAD #JPY #Yen #CAD/JPY #Loonie
The year has been going horribly for the CAD/JPY. After opening at 98.53 on January 1st, the currency pair lost almost 800 pips and reached a low of 90.65 in March.
Since then however, the pair has reversed and gained over 500 pips. I expect this rally to continue further. But I think that the 50% Fib retracement at 94.90 and the 38% Fib at 93.90 will constrain prices. Thus, I'm putting my target for the CAD/JPY in between these figures at 94.44.
