The forecast for the GBP/CAD turned bearish for the short-term after extending a powerful rally. Traders should prepare for a minor sell-off, but the long-term uptrend is intact, and price action can move higher.
Positive trends also exist in the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Cloud, and after this currency pair corrects into it, an extension of the advance is likely to follow. After the stochastic accelerated into extreme overbought territory, traders should await a pullback and remain patient. Can bears pressure the GBP/CAD into a correction before bulls resume their stampede higher?
