USD/CAD Technical Analysis - USD/CAD Trading: 2015-04-24


Repeating pattern

Let us consider the USD/CAD currency pair on the H4 time frame. The price has been forming a parabolic turn pattern, which was distinguished earlier, before the bearish break-out. The pattern is marked with a rectangle. The general trend makes the pattern repetition more likely. Donchian has turned towards the red zone and the price has consolidated between the support line at 1.20805 and the H4 trend line. The escape from triangle will probably result in a new boost in volatility. ParabolicSAR confirms the market direction: its signals have been moving along the trend.

RSI-Bars oscillator supports our assumptions, breaching the bottom of uptrend. At the moment we are expecting a new support level to set at 27%. It is supposed to confirm the trend, if the price breaks out 1.20805 mark. A sell pending order may be placed there. A stop loss is to be placed at 1.23071 mark, which is backed by the Donchian upper boundary. After pending order placing, the stop loss is to be moved every day near the next fractal high, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the probable profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss without reaching the order, we recommend cancelling the position: market sustains internal changes that were not considered.
