NZDCAD: Policy Divergence Favoring the KiwiHello Traders,
In today's trading session, we are keeping a close watch on NZDCAD for a promising buying opportunity around the 0.83900 level. After experiencing a prolonged downtrend, NZDCAD has successfully broken out and is currently in a correction phase. This correction is bringing the pair closer to a critical support and resistance zone at 0.83900, making it a prime area for potential buy entries.
The ongoing policy divergence between the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) adds an extra layer of favorability for the NZD over the CAD. The RBNZ's more accommodative stance compared to the BoC's policies provides a supportive backdrop for the NZD, further bolstering the case for a buying opportunity at this level.
Trade safely,
Joe

USDCAD – fundamental overview
The Canadian Dollar is coming out of a rare session in which it outperformed its peer group. Canada housing data was behind the relative strength after May housing starts accelerated at the fastest pace since September 2023. Key standouts on Tuesday’s calendar come from Eurozone and German sentiment reads, Eurozone CPI, US retail sales, US industrial production, and Fed speak.

NZD/CAD: Capitalizing on RBNZ Stability and BoC DovishnessHello Traders,
In the coming week, we are closely monitoring NZD/CAD for a potential buying opportunity around the 0.84090 zone. NZD/CAD is currently trading in an uptrend and is undergoing a correction phase, bringing it closer to the key support and resistance area at 0.84090. This level has historically served as a significant pivot point for price action, making it an attractive entry point for long positions.
From a fundamental perspective, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is maintaining a steady stance and is not looking to cut rates anytime soon. In contrast, the Bank of Canada (BoC) seems to be on pace to cut rates, given the easing inflationary pressures in Canada. This divergence in monetary policy favors the NZD over the CAD, adding strength to our bullish outlook on NZD/CAD.
Additionally, the overall bullish sentiment in the stock market could further benefit NZD/CAD due to the positive correlation between risk-on environments and NZD strength. This confluence of technical and fundamental factors makes the 0.84090 zone a strategic area to look for buying opportunities in NZD/CAD.
Trade safely,
Joe

USD/CAD Faces Resistance at 1.3780, Potential Reversal in SightThe USD/CAD pair has reached the 1.3780 area of resistance, signaling a potential reversal. This comes in the wake of a robust Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for May, which dispelled fears of a weakening labor market. The report indicated strong labor demand across all sectors and higher-than-expected wage growth.
Market Dynamics
1. Strong NFP Report: The latest NFP data highlighted a resilient labor market, easing concerns about a slowdown. This strength in the labor market has influenced market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
2. Fed Rate Cut Expectations: Investors now anticipate that the Fed will cut interest rates once this year, likely in November or December. This outlook is shaping the market's response to recent economic data.
Upcoming Economic Indicators
To gain more insights into the Fed’s potential actions, investors are keenly awaiting the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for May and the Fed’s upcoming monetary policy announcement, both scheduled for Wednesday. These events are expected to provide further clarity on the interest rate outlook.
Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, the USD/CAD pair is approaching a significant resistance level at 1.3780. The price action suggests a potential reversal as it encounters this resistance.n.
in conclusion the USD/CAD pair is at a critical juncture, facing resistance at the 1.3780 level. The strong NFP report for May has bolstered the USD, but upcoming CPI data and the Fed’s monetary policy announcement will be crucial in determining the next move. From a technical standpoint, signs are pointing towards a potential reversal at this resistance level. Investors and traders should remain vigilant and look for clear reversal signals before making trading decisions.
USD/CAD: Capitalizing on Soft CPI and Dovish Fed ExpectationsHello Traders,
In today's trading session, we are closely monitoring USD/CAD for a potential selling opportunity around the 1.37200 zone. Recently, USD/CAD was trading in an uptrend but successfully broke out of this trend. Currently, it is in a correction phase and is approaching the key retrace area at the 1.37200 support and resistance zone. This level is crucial as it has historically served as a significant pivot point for price action.
From a fundamental perspective, today's CPI data came in softer than expected, with a year-over-year increase of 3.3%, compared to the anticipated 3.4%. This lower-than-expected inflation reading suggests that inflationary pressures are not as strong as the market had anticipated.
The softer CPI data has important implications for the Federal Reserve's policy stance. A lower inflation rate reduces the urgency for the Fed to tighten monetary policy aggressively. As a result, the likelihood of the Fed adopting a more dovish stance increases, which could involve maintaining or even easing current monetary policies. This dovish outlook would likely weaken the US dollar, creating a favorable environment for USD/CAD shorts.
Additionally, this evening we have the FOMC meeting, where further insights into the Fed's monetary policy direction will be provided. The combination of today's soft CPI data and the FOMC's potential dovish tone strengthens the case for a bearish outlook on the US dollar.
Given these fundamental factors, the 1.37200 zone becomes an attractive area to look for short positions in USD/CAD. A weaker dollar, driven by dovish Fed expectations, should support further downside for USD/CAD, making this level a strategic entry point for selling opportunities.
Trade safely,
Joe
USD/CAD Edges Lower as Traders Eye Key US Economic DataUSD/CAD is trending lower during the Asian session on Wednesday, currently trading around 1.3750. This recent movement follows a notable reversal from the 1.3790 area, where technical indicators suggested a potential change in direction.
Technical Analysis
From a technical standpoint, the USD/CAD pair exhibited signs of overbought conditions around the 1.3790 mark, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the H4 timeframe. A divergence was observed, signaling that the bullish momentum was weakening and a reversal was likely. The pair has since edged lower, reflecting these technical signals.
Market Sentiment and Economic Data
The market is now focused on upcoming US economic data releases, which are anticipated to inject significant volatility into the trading environment. The key events include the release of the Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision.
Core CPI Data
The Core CPI data, set to be released today, is a critical measure of inflation that excludes food and energy prices. This indicator is closely watched by traders and investors as it provides insights into underlying inflationary pressures within the US economy. Stronger-than-expected CPI figures could reinforce expectations of a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, potentially supporting the US Dollar and influencing the USD/CAD pair.
FOMC Decision
In addition to the inflation data, the FOMC decision is another pivotal event for the day. The Federal Reserve's policy statement and subsequent press conference will offer guidance on the central bank's outlook and future monetary policy actions. Market participants will be keenly observing any hints regarding the timing and extent of interest rate adjustments. The FOMC's tone and projections will be crucial in determining the next directional move for the USD/CAD pair.
Anticipated Volatility
Given the significance of these economic events, traders are preparing for heightened volatility. The Core CPI and FOMC decision are expected to provide the necessary catalyst for a potential continuation of the reversal observed in the USD/CAD pair. Depending on the outcomes, we could see significant movements as traders react to the data and adjust their positions accordingly.
in conclusion USD/CAD is currently consolidating its recent losses around 1.3750, following a technical reversal from the 1.3790 area. The pair's future direction will likely be influenced by today's Core CPI release and the FOMC decision. Traders should be prepared for increased volatility and potential continuation of the bearish trend, especially if the economic data aligns with the technical indicators pointing towards a reversal.

My safe target is 1.371 - and this is where I am planning to close the position for this week.
Play safe.
