Midday Report

The pair has moved mildly to the downside where MACD traditional over four-hour interval succeeded in overlapping negatively as seen on the secondary image. This decline proves the bearish effect of the daily spinning top pattern which may send the pair bearishly today. Areas of 1.3200 should be cleared while 1.3320 is our risk limit.

The trading range for today is among key support at 1.3025 and key resistance at 1.3415.

The general trend over short term basis is to the downside, targeting 1.1865 as far as areas of 1.3550 areas remain intact.

Great British Pound (GBP)
  

Midday Report

 

The pair has plummeted during the previous session breaching through the initial support area below 1.5760 and 1.5730 as seen on the provided four-hour chart. The four-hour long black candlestick pattern is another negative technical factor that should be added to the morning discussed negative signals supporting our bearish outlook. A break below moving averages will add further negative pressure easing the path towards the suggested technical targets. 

The trading range for today is among key support at 1.5515 and key resistance at 1.5975.

The general trend over short term basis is to the downside, targeting 1.4225 as far as areas of 1.6875 areas remain intact.

Canadian Dollar (CAD)
  

Midday Report

The pair moved slightly higher this morning, currently fluctuating around the mid-band for Bollinger bands indicator. While a possible double bottom pattern may be developing as well, with a neckline around 1.0050; thus we continue to hold to our bullish outlook for the pair, targeting initially 1.0050 followed by a test of the descending resistance of the falling wedge.

The trading range for the day is expected among the key support at 0.9890 and the key resistance at 1.0070.

The short term trend is to the upside targeting 1.0650 with steady daily closing above 0.9900.
