Canada

S&P/TSX Composite Index can test Minor Resistance LevelsWhen we look at Canadian instruments during the Autonomous LSTM Adaptive period: We see a cheapness in both stock markets and currency. Even though I have a positive opinion about the target, let's try it out in small quantities and leave more position size in case of a second try on negative scenario. This analysis can be more risk-free with the following parameters: Position Size : %1 for Index Futures or Small percentage of Portfolio Risk/Reward Ratio = 1/1.99 Stop-Loss : 16911.75 Goal : 18032 NOTE: The unapproved short signal is the leading indicator of volatile movements. So let's be careful. Let's leave more room for the second attempt, which, when the circumstances are in our favor, let us gain much more of our loss. Regards.

$CGC potential buy opportunity coming upTicker: $CGC CGC had a huge bear day, closing near the LOD on Friday. It was very correlated to $SPY on Friday and I won't be surprised that it will continue to be that way if the market dumps. Hourly time frame is in the oversold area, but I will be patient to enter if the market is dumping. I will look for a potential entry this coming Monday if we dump hard. Anything over 19.02 is a daily HL and in the long term, the bulls still have complete control. Watch the volume this upcoming week as it will be a key indicator. Daily bull flag is negated due to Friday's bear action, but I will look for a equilibrium pattern with a HL above 19.02.

ridethepig | CAD Market Commentary 2020.01.09Interesting price action in USDCAD after another round of soft data from Canada. Poloz has a lot of work to do tonight if BoC are to move as rate markets are materially underpriced, especially on the front end. Expecting a dovish ‘fireside’ with early signs of encouraging demand above 1.30 this morning. Starting to cover shorts after the break through 1.304x has opened a move towards 1.31 and 1.317x, the original entries in the 2020 macro map: USDCAD LMT BUY 1.304x => TP1 1.310x => TP2 1.317x | STP 1.299x The reflation theme which is a bi-product of the dollar devaluation allowed CAD to outperform in the immediate term however now USD is in full control as CAD macro prints have started to turn down. As long as USD remains in first gear we will have room to test the topside again, as there are two sides to the currency pairs, rather than CAD strength in this move we are trading USD weakness. As usual jump into the comments with your charts and questions to open the discussion, best of luck all those trading live and thanks for keeping the support coming with likes!!!

USD vs. CAD (NEW PATTERN)The USD price appreciation building up in the USDCAD pair has not yet unfolded, but when it does it will be a nice long USD trade (or short the CAD trade). Previously we identified a bullish flag on the weekly and monthly chart, but it looks like the flag is shaped a bit differently now that 2019 is behind us. Here are the new technical levels to watch. At the moment price seems to be transitioning from one trap zone to the next trap zone, but the battle lines are now clearly drawn. There will likely be some nice bullish action in this pair by the end of 2020, so don't forget to bookmark it!

Pound under pressure, GDP & dollar There was a lot of talks about Trump Impeachment. Despite the decision of the House of Representatives, the chances of gaining Senate support are extremely low (gaining 2/3 of the vote is almost impossible). So the reluctance of the dollar to fall against this formally negative fundamental background is generally understandable. And if the dollar yesterday felt relatively confident in the foreign exchange market, the British pound continued to be under pressure. The day for the GBP began with failure: retail sales (MoM) November f -0.6%, however, the experts expected an increase + 0.2% (MoM). As a result, this decline formed the longest series of monthly retail sales in the country since 1996. A series of the fundamental negative for the pound continued the Bank of England. The central bank did not lower the rate but made it clear that considering such an option. Lowering the forecast by the Central Bank on UK GDP growth rates in 2020 by 0.1%is not optimism news for pound buyers. So the results of the meeting of the Bank of England are “dovish”, which was against the British currency. The fate is not in the hands of the Bank of England or macroeconomic indicators but in the hands of Brexit. Despite Johnson’s statements on Monday, we continue to believe in the deal and the “soft” Brexit, which means that the pound will certainly grow, with growth rates up to 1000 pips. Accordingly, the lower the pound falls, the greater the growth. Therefore, we continue medium-term purchases of the pound, and today we buy on intraday from 1.30 (the entry point is too good to pass by, plus the Friday before the Christmas holidays - many want to take profits in short pound positions, which will contribute to its growth) Today is unlikely to be calm. Besides the fact that it is necessary to process and take into account the prices the entire array of information that is hitting the financial markets this week, on Friday we are waiting for data on the GDP of the UK and the USA to come out, as well as statistics on retail sales in Canada. We do not expect any excessively strong directional movements, so we will adhere to the tactics of oscillatory trading on the intraday basis As for medium-term positions, there are no changes: we buy the pound, the Japanese yen and gold, we sell the Russian ruble.

ridethepig | CADNOK 2020 Macro Map A good time to map the strategy and flows for CADNOK as we approach year-end. As you will have noticed I am tracking for a major pullback in the cross over the first half in 2020, this is coming from large macro forces at play. Central bank coordination has opened up the opportunity for NOK to outperform CAD. Firstly the reflation theme via USD devaluation is going to help Canada a lot less than the rest as Canada will receive a spillover from the US manufacturing recession. Secondly we need to discuss the impact of Oil across both economies. CAD and NOK are affected by oil with divergencies in their breakevens. For example Canada breakevens are circa $45 compared with Norway at $23 per barrel. Meaning simply Norway has more breathing room for the fall in Oil: The third and final leg to the stool is coming from yield differentials. After the more dovish than expected shift in stance from BoC, the window is open for a cut which has not been fully priced while Norges which was previously the last hawk standing has hit the pause button. I personally see room for another hike from Norges next year which is the leg I am looking to trade here. Best of luck all those in CADNOK, a very good pair to add to your FX portfolio.

USDCAD Market Structure ExhaustionThe USDCAD is displaying 2/3 market structure. There are only 3 ways markets move: uptrend, range and downtrend. These are composed of swings in the case of uptrend and downtrends. The USDCAD has been in an uptrend, composed of higher lows and higher highs. We then began to exhaust as no new higher lows and higher highs were created. We are now in a range. Price exhausted near a resistance/flip zone of 1.3340, however I would prefer to see price test a bit closer. This would be one downfall for this idea. But the market structure is there. We are creating an exhaustion/topping pattern. With a break of 1.3260, we would break below a flip zone. This is what I am watching for. There is a demand zone at 1.3100 that should be a take profit zone. We do have the Bank of Canada this week on Wednesday. Many are expecting Canada to hold interest rates steady at 1.75% but Canada is not immune to the global slowdown. They will eventually cut rates. I must say that perhaps we could get a surprise cut. The rest of the world is cutting rates, and Canada is equal to the US in terms of rates. I do expect a dovish tone, which could see USDCAD test the aforementioned 1.3340 flip zone. Again, we will not be doing anything until the flip zone is broken which would give us the trigger to enter. Until then we remain on the sidelines.

ridethepig | USDCAD 2020 Macro MapThis chart is for those mapping USDCAD over the coming Quarters; a clean and simple strategy targeting the lows of 1.27xx by mid 2020 before finding somewhat of a bounce back towards the 1.30xx handle by year-end. Main theme behind the flows is coming from dollar devaluation, I would recommend all to follow the Macro Dollar charts I have posted: The reflation theme which is a bi-product of the dollar devaluation will allow CAD to outperform in the immediate term. There are two sides to the currency pairs, rather than CAD strength in this move we are trading USD weakness. A wide range which is already starting to show signs of cracking the downside: Best of luck all those trading USDCAD into year-end with dollar devaluation underway, this is going to be a monster swing with fireworks on both sides.
