USDCAD Daily CCI Short, big run if < 200sma

27 thg 1, 2019

Short poss. 65p to 200ma or 200-600p if goes <1.316. The Daily CCI signal short is a trendline break on CCI with CCI also below +100. Reversal would be CCI trendline break in the other direction.

USDCAD Daily had an exceptionally large candle down y/d (Fri 1.25.19) from the 38.2% retrace up, to 50 sma, down toward the 200 sma. Fri close 1.32255. A move 65 pips down to 200sma probable, but not necessarily without bouncing first (making more profit available). 200sma now 1.3160. Because of possible bounce up before dropping to the 1.3160, I'd enter off a small timeframe.

Because USDCAD is in the 50/PP/200sma sandwich, expect swashbuckler moves both ways until price is below the 200sma and has retraced to retouch it. If that should unfold, a continuing drop could be a few hundred pips.

Price retraced 50% and retested that swing hi. Very small stop required to Short here in case pair drops. S 1.32803 w 5 pip stop 12:25:19. Will pull off one at +10p, trade will be a positive no matter what then.

Short trade is still OK but is not yet in the clear from any big run below 200ma. However, taking another +20p here at 3:30am 1.32600 brings total to 3.8+25.8+33 +10+20 on single lot size = 90.6 pip

A nearby support is PP 1.32535, with S1 just below. That would be a potential bounce point for a strong move higher. Leaving this Short unattended will require a larger stop than the 5p SL used to this point, but worst case would still leave 70 p profit if price again reached 1.32800. So it would be worth leaving the door open to a drop below 200sma at 1.32035 for a real ride.

Another +35 pip collected,with price again approaching 200sma from the top. It now has a higher probability of dropping a few hundred pips

FOMC news speeded run to 161.8% 1.313. 161.8% fib is in itsself sometimes a signal for a move back up to at least 61.8%, which would be at 1.3225
On the other hand, CCI on both H4 and M15 is saying that the low is not in yet, even if some retracement up occurs now.

Two additional potential hindrances to significant further move down are
1) Price tagged Daily 200sma following the FOMC news
2) The 200sma is also a 113% extension of the downmove that paused at 1/9
Open, at 1.132. 113% can often be a place for trend change.
(3)) Listed above, where 161.8%'s often retrace, to 61.8% or more

we already have 196 pips, even if we don't see a lower w3 of W3. But....

One of the reasons I like CCI is that in situations like this where price and fibs cannot give clear answers, I have learned to trust CCI.
