Talking Points

USD/CAD continues to whipsaw wildly leaving a void of clear cues from candlesticks. As noted in recent reports the pair has a tendency towards violent impulsive swings.

A Dojion the four chart signifies reluctance from the bears to lead USD/CAD lower. Yet an absence of more definitive reversal signals suggests sentiment is yet to shift to the upside. This leaves a more constructive setup desired before adopting fresh positioning.
