Talking Points
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Bullish Engulfing awaits confirmation
- Four hour chart suggests indecision near 1.0900
USD/CAD has reversed course following a break below the 1.0860 mark. The recovery in prices has prompted the emergence of a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern which suggests further gains may be possible. However, given past price action suggests the potential emergence of a downtrend, it remains to be seen whether this is a mere corrective bounce within the broader trend. Confirmation from a second successive up-day would help validate the signal.
