Welcome to my blog! I am HappyPip, lady trader of the Commodity Dollars or "ComDolls!" We will look at price action of the Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, and the Canadian Dollar, as well as their respective economies, and how commodities prices may affect their long term movements. Put on a "happy face" and come join me, won't ya! :)
USD/CAD
Let's take another look at USD/CAD as it has fallen back to parity and possibly a reversal point from the down trend.
On the chart, we can see a very basic support play setting up as the pair touches 1.0000, where it has found enough buyers to push it back up in recent past. Stochastics are at oversold levels indicating the move from 1.0250 to 1.0000 may have lost some steam.
Oil has now run up to $124/barrel from a recent low around $113/barrel within the last week. That run may be overdone in the short term as a well, so a small pullback may be in the cards for that commodity and the Loonie within the next few trading sessions.
So, we will play the support area on USD/CAD in hopes to catch a correctional rally. Since we are playing against the trend, we will keep the stops tight.
Long USD/CAD at 1.0000, stop at .9950, pt1 at 1.0050, pt2 at 1.0150
Remember to never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. Adjust position sizes accordingly.
Stay tuned and good luck!
