The Loonie's Fate: Can CAD Hold Against USD?The Canadian dollar (CAD) has been losing ground against the U.S. dollar (USD) for years, and this chart suggests that weakness could continue. Since 2015, every time CAD has tried to strengthen, it has failed to break below 1.20, showing a long-term downward trend.
USD/CAD at 1.47: A Critical Turning Point
Right now, the exchange rate is sitting at 1.4527, just below a key resistance level (1.47). Historically, this level has acted as a ceiling where CAD has struggled to hold its value.
Two Possible Outcomes:
1. If CAD Holds Below 1.47 → Potential for Stabilization
A rejection at 1.47 would mean CAD could regain some strength, at least in the short term.
This could happen if the Bank of Canada holds rates steady while the U.S. Federal Reserve signals rate cuts. If USD weakens, CAD could stabilize around 1.39 or lower.
2. If USD/CAD Breaks Above 1.47 → CAD Could Sink Further
A breakout above 1.47 would mean further CAD weakness, and we could see 1.60 or even 1.80 in the long run. This would be bad news for Canadian consumers, as inflation would likely surge.
The Bank of Canada might be forced to act aggressively, keeping interest rates high for longer to stabilize the loonie.
The Big Picture: Could We See 1.80?
The chart suggests that if USD/CAD breaks out above 1.47, the next long-term move could reach 1.80, which would mean an additional 21% devaluation of CAD against USD.
What That Would Mean for Canadians:
More Expensive Imports: A weaker CAD means higher costs for goods priced in USD—electronics, vehicles, food, and even vacations in the U.S.
Higher Inflation Risk: Imported goods would become more expensive, keeping inflation high and making it harder for the Bank of Canada (BoC) to cut rates.
Potential Rate Hikes: If CAD weakens too much, the BoC may need to raise interest rates again to stabilize the currency, which could keep borrowing costs high.
What Canadians Should Watch
Oil Prices: Canada is a commodity-based economy, and higher oil prices typically strengthen CAD (since Canada is a major oil exporter). If oil prices rise, CAD could get some strength back, slowing the decline.
Bank of Canada vs. U.S. Federal Reserve Policy: If the Bank of Canada keeps rates high while the U.S. Federal Reserve cuts rates, CAD could strengthen. But if the BoC cuts rates too early, CAD could fall further.
Global Market Sentiment: In a risk-off environment, investors flock to USD for safety, weakening CAD. If risk appetite returns, CAD could stabilize.
What Canadians Can Do to Prepare
If USD/CAD Breaks 1.47 and Moves Higher:
Hedge Against a Weak CAD: Consider holding some USD-denominated assets (U.S. stocks, USD savings).
Lock in Loan Rates Now: A weakening CAD could keep rates high longer—fixed-rate mortgages may offer stability.
Invest in Inflation-Protected Assets: If CAD weakens, commodities, energy stocks, and foreign investments could help hedge against inflation.
Buy USD for Future U.S. Expenses: If you travel to the U.S. frequently, it might make sense to buy USD now before CAD weakens further.
If USD/CAD Gets Rejected at 1.47 and CAD Recovers:
Monitor U.S. Rate Cuts: If the Fed cuts rates, USD may weaken, giving CAD a chance to rebound.
Be Ready for Short-Term Relief, But Plan for Long-Term Weakness: Even if CAD strengthens in the short term, the long-term trend still suggests CAD is vulnerable.
Final Thoughts: The Loonie’s Fate Rests on 1.47
Right now, CAD is at a make-or-break level.
If 1.47 holds, CAD may see short-term strength. If 1.47 breaks, CAD could face a significant decline, making life more expensive for Canadians.
With inflation, interest rates, and oil prices all playing a role, this is a crucial time to pay attention to macroeconomic trends, as the next move in USD/CAD will impact Canadians' cost of living, mortgages, and investments.

USDCAD - 4H TradingRangeDespite various market news over the past few days, USDCAD remains within its trading range, as previously discussed. The pair has yet to make a valid breakout, meaning range trading remains a viable strategy.
📉 Price has rejected the top of the range after recent news, aligning with expectations.
📌 Opportunities arise at key support & resistance zones within this range.
We continue to monitor for potential breakouts or further confirmations. Follow for updates!
EURCAD: Bullish Rally is Going to Continue 🇪🇺🇨🇦
EURCAD remains in a strong bullish trend for more than 2 weeks.
The violation of a key daily resistance is one more important bullish signal.
At the moment we see a local correction.
With a high probability, it will complete soon and
a rise will resume.
Next resistance - 1.5155
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
Is it Time for Commodity Currencies to Shine?As Trump announced tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which was bullish the USD, the CAD closed the day green as Commercial traders are net-long while Speculators are increasing their short position. Will fading this crowded trade (not max crowded yet) end up being one of the better trades during the first quarter of 2025? This is also not the only currency set up that way. Other commodity currencies include the AUD and NZD.
These three currencies are where Speculators are most short. Now we wait for the market to confirm the long trade with a news failure.
For new followers, the CMR process is to wait for Speculators (both small and large) to become extremely crowded and then fade their trade after a news failure in the market confirms the trade. You want to be on the same side as Commercials when the market turns.
Thanks,
Jason
USDCAD - 4H Bearish signsThe FX:USDCAD pair fell sharply after news of Canada responding to potential US tariff changes under Donald Trump. It has now reached the bottom of the trading range on the 4H timeframe.
💡 Key Strategy:
Wait for breakout confirmations or enter on a pullback.
Avoid rushing in; price action confirmations are essential for entries!
Patience and strategy always win. Let's trade smart! 📉
USDCAD Best sell opportunity in 5 years!The USDCAD is standing on unique grounds as it is just below the 9-year Resistance Zone and is consolidating. Last time it hit this Zone was on the week of March 16 2020 and as you can see it got brutally rejected.
Both the January 18 2016 and March 16 2020 tops have similar 1W RSI patterns and after their rejection, the price's first stop was on the 0.236 Fibonacci level. As a result, our Target is 1.26000 on this unique long-term sell opportunity.

The Canadian Dollar Index CXY on 1WEEK timeframe with cycles. Just a coincidence, I'm sure... But Canada's current Prime Minister just resigned exactly at the end of the 3rd cycle on a 9 year major support level. Is the Canadian dollar about to reverse? Pay attention to Canadian news over the next 6 months to support this idea.
US DOLLAR WEAKENING WHILE CANADIAN DOLLAR STRENGTHENING!With USD/CAD showing weakness, the pair is likely to fall and revert to its mean.
N.B!
- USDCAD price might not follow the drawn lines . Actual price movements may likely differ from the forecast.
- Let emotions and sentiments work for you
- ALWAYS Use Proper Risk Management In Your Trades

CADJPY Higher Low formed. Strong buy opportunity.The CADJPY pair has formed a new Higher Low on the 4-month Channel Up pattern that started after the 2.5-year Channel Up bottomed its Bearish Leg on the August 05 Low. Being now below even the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), this is technically a great buy opportunity.
The previous long-term Bullish Leg hit the 0.9 Fibonacci level before retracing, which gives us a 117.100 Target for Q1 2025.

EURCAD: Bullish Move After Breakout 🇪🇺🇨🇦
EURCAD broke and closed above a key daily/intraday horizontal resistance.
After a breakout, the price retested the broken structure
and formed a narrow horizontal range on that.
The violation of its upper boundary with a bullish imbalance
is a strong bullish signal.
Chances are high that the pair will go up and reach at least 1.4928 level soon.

USDCAD: Excellent short term buy opportunity.USDCAD is heavily bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 67.681, MACD = 0.007, ADX = 22.105) as it trades inside a Channel Up, supported by the 4H MA50. The 4H MACD is forming a Bullish Cross and in the past 2 months this has been a strong bullish signal. In line with the previous bullish waves, we are aiming for a +2.60% rise from the bottom (TP = 1.42850).

AUDCAD Buy signal at the bottom of the Channel Up.The AUDCAD pair has been trading within a Channel Up pattern since the September 27 2023 Low and at the moment it is in the process of forming a new Higher Low. All previous Higher Lows were formed one the 1D RSI almost touched the 30.00 oversold barrier. Right now it is a little more than 5.0 points away from it, so buying starts getting highly favorable on the current levels.
In any case, a break above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) would confirm the start of the new Bullish Leg and if it follows the previous sequence, it should peak above the -0.5 Fibonacci extension. As a result, our 0.95000 Target is more than valid for the medium-term.

EURCAD Strong medium-term buy opportunity.The EURCAD pair gave us an excellent sell signal last time (September 12, see chart below) that easily hit our 1.46550 Target:
This time we have a confirmed bottom just a week ago on the 0.786 Channel Fibonacci level, similar to the June 08 2023 bottom, both accompanied by a 1D MACD Bullish Cross.
As a result, we turn bullish on this pair targeting 1.5000, which is just below the 0.236 Channel Fib, similar to the July 18 2023 High.

USDCAD top of Channel Up rejection. Strong sell.The USDCAD pair has been trading within a long-term Channel Up pattern since the July 14 2023 Low and on Monday it hit its top (Higher Highs trend-line) and got rejected. This is a similar peak to November 01 2023, with the 1D RSI turning downwards as well on an early sell signal.
Initially, we expect at least the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) to be tested, so our Target is 1.37300.

The Market Code: Decoding Opportunity in the Canadian Dollar**The Market Code: Decoding Opportunity in the Canadian Dollar**
There is a moment when the veil is lifted, and the truth becomes clear—when the illusion of chaos resolves into perfect order. This week, I have read the code written within the Commitment of Traders (COT) data, and it reveals a symphony of opportunity, waiting for those who are ready to listen.
The markets are alive with setups—Currencies, Energies, Metals, Grains, Treasuries—all pulsing with hidden potential. But let me be clear: not all secrets are free. I will offer you only a taste, a glimpse of what lies beneath the surface. The rest? That’s reserved for those who dare to journey deeper into the rabbit hole.
Among the revelations, one stands above the rest: **The Canadian Dollar is primed for longs**. But do not mistake this for a call to rush blindly into the market. This is the *setup*, not the signal. To act with precision, you must wait for the *trigger*. This distinction is critical, yet misunderstood by most.
The Codes Decoded
-Commercial Positioning: The commercials—those who understand the market better than anyone—are close to holding their longest positions in three years. The last time they were this long was in August, just before a sharp bullish move. Coincidence? Hardly. This is the first code of the Canadian Dollar setup.
-Open Interest Surge: During the recent multi-week price decline, Open Interest has spiked. Ask yourself: *Who is driving this increase?* The data reveals it’s the commercials, increasing their longs. This is not noise—it’s a signal.
-Bearish Sentiment Extreme: Investment advisors are at a relative extreme in bearishness. Contrarians thrive on such moments, as extremes are where the most compelling opportunities are born.
-Valuation Insight: The Canadian Dollar is undervalued relative to U.S. Treasuries. When valuation and positioning align, the market is speaking in a language few understand.
-Seasonal Trends: The true seasonal trend supports a long, pointing to upward movement into January. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes.
-Small Speculator Shorts: Small speculators are heavily short—an extreme in their positioning over the last 26 weeks. This is yet another clue in the unfolding narrative.
-Technical Support: %R is signaling a buy zone, and the weekly stochastic is oversold. The technicals align with the fundamentals—yet another piece of the puzzle.
The Question
What will you do with this knowledge? Will you watch from the sidelines, content to let the markets continue to elude you? Or will you take the red pill, embrace the truth, and step into a new understanding of how the markets truly operate?
The Invitation
I’m not here to sell you illusions or half-truths. I’m here to show you how to *see*. The Commitment of Traders strategy isn’t a system—it’s a lens that reveals the market’s music, the hidden rhythm that guides price action.
If you’re ready to go beyond the surface, to see the *why* behind the *what*, reach out. I’ll teach you how to decode these markets for yourself. The rabbit hole goes deep, but I will guide you.
The choice is yours: stay in the comfort of ignorance, or step into the unknown and discover what lies beyond.
Are you ready to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
EURCAD: Strong Bearish Pressure 🇪🇺🇨🇦
While USDCAD looks strongly bullish,
bears keep pushing EURCAD lower.
The price broke and closed below both a key daily horizontal support and a falling trend line - a vertical support.
It opens a potential for a bearish continuation lower at least to 1.479

NZDCAD Buy opportunity at the bottom of the 1-year Channel Up.The NZDCAD pair hit our 0.85650 Target as discussed on our last idea (August 22, see chart below) and then got immediately rejected:
The rejection initiated the Bearish Leg of the 1-year Channel Up and the price is approaching once more the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of the pattern. The previous 2 Higher Lows were priced on the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level, which is slightly below, but the 1D MACD is forming a Bullish Cross today, which has been an absolute buy signal this past year.
As a result, we turn bullish on this pair, targeting Resistance 1 at 0.86450.
