CAD: What’s Next?

It seems like the Canadian consumer has a firm grip on their wallet, which is no surprise given the current economic climate. Inflation in April crept up from 4.3% to 4.4%, adding to the financial woes. With soaring interest rates, it's no wonder consumers are feeling the pinch. Brace yourselves for the April retail sales report, which is expected to bring more bad news. Headline retail sales are predicted to slow to -1.4%, while the core rate is anticipated to fall to -0.8%. Not exactly the recipe for economic growth, right? If the report confirms these predictions, it might shake up investors and send the Canadian dollar on a downward spiral. The Bank of Canada won't be thrilled with the slight increase in inflation, but at least the core rate, a more reliable gauge, moved lower. Keep an eye on the BoC's meeting on June 7th, where interest rates are expected to remain at 4.50%. As for the US, it's a quiet day on the economic calendar, but we do have Jerome Powell and two FOMC members delivering public remarks. The market sentiment surrounding the June meeting has shifted, with a reduced chance of a pause and a higher chance of a 25 basis points hike. The Fed's consistently hawkish stance and a strong US economy have played a part in this revision.

EURCAD - H4 Timeframe

EURCAD closed last week with a major reaction off the pivot zone, after having broken out of the channel. Considering the bullish array of the Moving Averages, the reaction from the pivot zone, and the 100-Day moving average support, I believe price would attempt to reach for the 50-Day moving average; or slightly higher even. Based on the bearish outlook of the fundamental analysis as explained earlier, I have reasons to believe this is the logical direction to go for EURCAD.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.47029

Invalidation: 1.45055

AUDCAD - Daily Timeframe

AUDCAD is trading within a descending channel at the moment, and seems to be in search of a valid supply zone from which it can recover sufficient momentum to continue its decline. It is on this ground that I have marked out the nearest supply zone that most readily provides the kind of confluences I like to see; a trendline resistance, rally-base-drop supply zone, as well as the 100 and 200 Day moving averages resistance - sweet confluences worth trading from my experience.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bearish

Target: 0.88859

Invalidation: 0.90890

GBPCAD - Daily Timeframe

In the case of GBPCAD, the price action presents a largely bullish scenario. On the chart, we can see the price trading within a rising channel with the latest reaction being a bounce off the trendline support. My confluences on this trade include: the trendline support, 50-Day moving average support, overall bullish moving averages array, and the bullish market structure (since price recently broke above a previous high).

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.72459

Invalidation: 1.67055
