USD/CAD analysis for October 08, 2013


USD/CAD Elliott Wave
Since our last analyses the USDCAD pair has been trading upwards, so we need to look at our alternate count that tells us that wave (y) (coloured green) of the (b) wave (coloured black) is still developing. Yesterday, during the Asian and European sessions we could observe ascending movement from 1.0288 towards the 1.0332 level. Therefore, during the early New York session this commodity currency did not manage to hold this levels and the price has reached a new sessions low at 1.0296. At the moment, the USDCAD pair is trading around 1.0321 and we are expecting to see more bullish movements in the next few sessions. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that wave Y should retrace 100% of wave X, we can define the potential targets with measuring wave X with take profit at 1.0432 (100% of wave X). To reduce the risk, we can use invalidation point at the 1.0288 level as stop loss.

Support and Resistance

Trading forecast
