Notes: EURCAD has rebounded off June high with today’s rally breaking above TL resistance to post an outside-day candle. The immediate focus is higher while within the confines of the proposed pitchfork off last week’s low (blue) with resistance objectives eyed at 1.4293 & 1.4333/42. A breach above key resistance at 1.4382/86 is needed to validate a larger-scale reversal in the pair targeting the monthly open & the July high at 1.4493.

The trade remains constructive while above former trendline resistance / 1.4232 with a break sub 1.4160 needed to shift the focus back to the short-side targeting the 200-day moving average at 1.4114, the May high-day close at 1.4050 & the key 61.8% retracement at 1.3991. A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 30-33 pips per scalp. Added caution is warranted heading into the Canadian retail sales & CPI figures tomorrow with the release likely to fuel volatility in CAD crosses.
