USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9576; (P) 0.9648; (R1) 0.9712; More.

USD/CAD's sharp fall and break of 0.9587 minor support suggests that recovery from 0.9525 is already completed at 0.9720. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 0.9525 first. Break will confirm down trend resumption for 100% projection of 1.0285 to 0.9666 from 0.9972 at 0.9353. In case of more consolidation, we'd continue to expect upside to be limited below 0.9750 cluster resistance (50% retracement of 0.9972 to 0.9525 at 0.9749) and bring down trend resumption.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.8930

Despite intra-day bounce to 0.8998, as the greenback has retreated after faltering below yesterday's high at 0.9001, suggesting consolidation would be seen and pullback the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.8953) and possibly the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 0.8943), however, yesterday's low at 0.8906 should hold and bring another rebound later.
