GBPUSD
Cable trend is down and is trading in a descending channel on the weekly time frame, however on the smaller time frame we have some breakouts occurring which could signal some short-term bullish momentum. A breakout on the 4HR time frame from a falling wedge pattern could potentially see a rally to the top of the channel resistance level.
NZDUSD
NZDUSD is currently trading on major support and currently printing a hammer candle on the weekly time frame. On the daily time frame yesterday we had a bullish inside bar which could signal the start of a minor bull run. A break below the support level on the alternative angle would signal bearish momentum to continue.
USDCAD
The Looni might be heading for a bear run with last weeks weekly candle being a bearish engulfing candle. On the daily and 4HR time frames we are trading near diagonal support. Some big news on the economic calendar this week could see either a bounce and continued bull run or a break of support and bearish momentum to resume.
