USDCAD trade ideas
USDCAD - Long after filling the imbalance !!Hello traders!
‼️ This is my perspective on USDCAD.
Technical analysis: Here we are in a bullish market structure from 4H timeframe perspective, so I look for a long. I expect upcoming week price to make a retracement to fill that huge imbalance lower and then to reject from bullish OB.
Fundamental news: Upcoming week on Friday (GMT+2) we have NFP on USD and Unemployment Rate on CAD. News with high impact on currencies.

USD/CAD Trend During US Trading SessionUSD/CAD news:
🔆USD/CAD rallied yesterday as Trump outlined clear tariffs including those on Canada and Mexico from March 4
🔆DXY maintained its third consecutive day of gains after the US Q/Q GDP was released as expected, indicating that the US economy remains solid after the tariff preparations
🔆However, on the technical side, the RSI (1H) indicator after entering the overbought zone has shown signs of divergence against the pair, so there will be a short-term correction before the main uptrend continues
Personal opinion:
🔆USD/CAD still maintains a strong upward momentum after the latest economic and financial news - the latest tariff policy has more influence on the strength of CAD.
Analysis:
🔆Based on important resistance - support and Fibonacci levels combined with EMA34 to come up with a suitable strategy
Plan:
🔆Price Zone Setup:
👉Buy USD/CAD 1.4420 – 1.4410
❌SL: 1.4390 | ✅TP: 1.4460 – 1.4500 – 1.4540
FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰
USDCAD SHORTShort Trade Setup:
📌 Entry Zone:
• Look for a bearish confirmation candle around 1.4450 - 1.4480 before entering a short position.
• A retest of the resistance level would provide stronger confirmation.
🎯 Target Price (TP):
• TP1: 1.4300 – First key support level
• TP2: 1.4150 – Lower boundary of the channel
🚨 Stop Loss (SL):
• SL: Above 1.4500, in case the price breaks out above resistance.
This setup is valid as long as the resistance level holds and no breakout occurs. Always wait for confirmation before entering a trade

USDCAD ANALYSIS FOR UPCOMING WEEKI will be looking for SELL positions this upcoming week. Market is approaching the Golden Zone also known as the area from the 50-61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Level. It does have potential to drop now but I'd prefer to wait a little longer for a higher probability, however you may trade as you intend. The "Sniper" entry would be the best entry with best R:R. The stop loss and Take profit levels intend to stay the same, I recommend a trailing stop and multiple entry's when necessary. Enjoy your WEEK traders, hope this was helpful.

Trump’s Tariff Threat: USD/CAD Hits Three-Week HighTrump’s Tariff Threat: USD/CAD Hits Three-Week High
As we reported on 3 February, Trump’s tariffs pushed USD/CAD to a 22-year high.
However, a one-month tariff delay led to a sharp drop, sending USD/CAD to its 2025 low near 1.41550. As the end of the delay approaches, the pair has been climbing again since mid-February (as shown by the arrow).
Yesterday, President Trump confirmed that his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will take effect on 4 March. This dashed hopes for another delay and triggered a breakout above the 1.43600 resistance level.
Technical Analysis of USD/CAD
Above current levels, key resistance lies at 1.44600, which has held firm since mid-December. However, drastic measures from Trump’s administration could drive further price movement within the blue-marked channel.
Expect volatility spikes ahead of Canada’s GDP release, scheduled for today at 16:30 GMT+3.
