http://www.dailyfx.com/story/topheadline/Is_it_a_Coincidence_that_1190306250485.htmlUSD/CAD: The Canadian dollar has also set fresh multi-decade heights in dollar terms, with the currency hitting parity with the greenback this morning. Clearly, US dollar weakness has played a very large part in the Loonie’s advance. Yet the Canadian dollar has likewise benefited from oil prices at record-highs and buoyant demand for mergers and acquisitions of Canadian corporations. This leads the Loonie as the perfect anti-dollar trade, with overall momentum to send the currency beyond $1.00 through the short term. Technically, a drop below 1.0004 completes 5 waves down from 1.0173, which would potentially lead to a larger corrective rally back to 1.0175 (former resistance) before a drop to yet a new low that would possibly complete the entire decline from 1.1825. OK, so I'm not insane. That's what I've been saying pretty much for weeks and thought I was a lone voice in the wilderness.

The USDCAD dropped to 1.0004 this morning and lower prices lie ahead. The vertical drop from 1.0132 is undoubtedly a 3rd wave in a 5 wave decline from 1.0173. As such, look for consolidation in a 4th wave correction before a drop to a new low (below 1.0004). A drop below 1.0004 to complete 5 waves down from 1.0173 would potentially lead to a larger corrective rally back to 1.0175 (former resistance) before a drop to yet a new low. That would possibly complete the entire decline from 1.1825. We are showing the 25 min chart this morning.

84% of retail traders are long USDCAD (long to short ratio is 5.34). However, since last week, retail has been selling the USDCAD (short positions are up by 8.3%). When retail is long but reduces its exposure, the long term direction remains bearish but the market might have some upside in the short term. The SSI gives us a MEDIUM SIGNAL TO SELL USDCAD.:wtf:
