Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6365

Despite intra-day brief breach of 1.6238, lack of follow through selling and current rebound from 1.6224 suggest consolidation above this level would take place and retracement to 1.6300 and possibly intra-day high of 1.6329 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6368) would limit upside and bring another decline later. A break of said support would extend decline from yesterday’s high of 1.6477 for a stronger retracement of recent upmove to 1.6195-00

Trade Idea: USD/CAD – Sell at 0.9635

Although the greenback has continued to edge higher and the corrective rise from 0.9407 (formed last week) may bring a stronger retracement of recent decline to 0.9635-38 (previous resistance and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9780 to 0.9407), reckon renewed selling interest would emerge there and bring another decline later. A break of yesterday’s low at 0.9492 would suggest the rebound from 0.9407 has possibly ended and bring test of 0.9458
