QUICK ANALYSIS: USDCAD: Still SHORT? Be Careful!

Yes, I know many, many traders are probably now SHORT on this pair and excited because it's been dropping. I took a SHORT trade on this pair myself as well (see Related Ideas: "CLOSED TRADE: Sell@1.34290 Wave 3 complete + Cypher (+210 pips)") and I bagged +210 pips on it. But I closed it and closed it for good reason. This pair has STILL got more upside to go! Well. at least according to my wave count. I don't see that the "TOP" is in. In fact, I see that the TOP is far from being in! Where will it be "in"? I don't know. But it isn't yet.

DAILY CHART
Before I start talking about what I see happening, here's the DAILY chart so you can see what I am referring to

WAVE COUNT
My current wave count has this recent drop as only the possible wave 2 of a possible Wave (3) that could be happening now. If correct, then the end of this wave 2 will follow with the beginning of a wave 3 of (3). Which could be pretty strong but short due to the deepness of this possible wave 2.

There are several other possible wave counts that would also be valid but I'm not going to illustrate them here. But one thing that those other wave counts have in common with the one I am showing here is that they also are calling for a wave UP to occur next. Whether it is a wave 3 as I am showing or some other wave up, there's going to be a move up. It's just a matter of determining what kind of wave up it is going to be and if it is tradeable.

THE PATTERNS
I've drawn a POTENTIAL cypher on the DAILY TF. Let me explain about this cypher as it may be controversial. This cypher, according to the rules of a cypher, is ONLY a cypher when looked at on the DAILY TF. On the DAILY chart, you can see that the B point clearly does not close below .618 retrace of the XA leg. But if you were to go to a lower TF, you will see that prices clearly do close below the .618 retrace of XA. So what gives?

This phenomenon does occur more often than you think. But here's my guideline on this: the higherr TF always has more importance than the lower TF. So in this instance, this cypher for me is valid.

On the main chart above in the 4Hr TF, I have also drawn in a POTENTIAL shark pattern that is close to completion. This shark pattern also sets up a POTENTIAL 5-0 pattern. Although this 5-0 pattern is a bearish pattern, it does not necessarily signify any possible reversal. It could but is not definite. We'll have to wait and see what PA does when/if it gets there. It could just mark the end of a wave 1 of the wave 3 I'm showing.

Anyway, the shark pattern will complete right near the .707 retrace of wave 1 within the G-Zone. I've also laid out the AB extensions of the shark and they all lie within the G-Zone. Interestingly enough, the POTENTIAL cypher I identified on the DAILY TF completes almost EXACTLY at the .886 retrace of that same wave 1's G-Zone. Confluence? Or coincidence?

MY TRADE PLAN
I am waiting to see what happens when prices fill the shark. Must wait and see if it will drop further to reach the D point of that DAILY cypher or not. If it does, and I see the bullish PA, I will take a LONG position as I am expecting that the next move up may be a wave 3 of the wave (5) up. Or at the very least, we will see prices go back up and retest the highs and that .618 MONTHLY retracement.
