FX.co ★ Technical analysis of USD/CAD for Febuary 23, 2016

General overview for 23/02/2016:

The wave b purple had been made just as anticipated and there is still one more wave to the upside to be made. A breakout above the intraday resistance at the level of 1.3846 is needed to confirm this scenario. In case of a breakout below the level of 1.3637, the alternative count will be in play. From a bigger time frame view: the corrective cycle from a top of 1.4687 is still in progress, but it is evolved into a complex corrective structure. Within that structure, there is a missing wave Y brown to the downside.

Support/Resistance:

1.3637 - Intraday Support

1.3656 - WS1

1.3784 - Weekly Pivot

1.3911 - Intraday Resistance

1.3916 - WR1

1.4041 - WR2

Trading recommendations:

Buying on dips is a proper way to trade on this market as an uptrend is still in play. The corrective cycle is violating the support levels, but the most important support at the level of 1.3637 has not been broken yet. Bulls are still in control in the market, but no confirmation of a bullish reversal has been received yet.
