There was no retracement back to the bottom of the channel before USD/CAD took off higher after a surprise rate cut from the Bank of Canada this morning.

The pair shot up above 1.01 taking us almost 200 pips away from our entry order. We will close all open orders in light of this event. No trade.

Trade Idea: 2007-12-03 19:43

Hello! The Greenback has been on a run in recent weeks against Loonie and now the pair is trading back at parity. Is it time for the Loonie to make another run or is there more correction to go?

Currently, the pair is in a strong, short term uptrend which should continue to play out for the rest of the week as the Bank of Canada is expected to hold interest rates. Weaker Canadian jobs data and manufacturing data is expected as well.

So, we will look for a long opportunity at the bottom of the channel. Here we go my friends!

Long USD/CAD at .9925, stop at .9875, pt1 .9975, pt2 at 1.0075
