USD/CAD could be on the cusp of a bearish reversal

Energy prices on the rise once again

We have seen plenty of volatility for energy prices over the course of the past fortnight, with initial uncertainty and ultimate resolution of OPEC+ talks providing moves in both directions.

The weakness in crude prices brought a five-month high for USD/CAD as the Canadian dollar lost ground. However, with crude ending the week on the front foot, we can see a bearish shooting star candle that could set us up for a period of downside after a recovery that has lasted almost two months.

That rally took the pair back into a confluence of the 76.4% Fibonacci level (1.2732) and the October 2018 low of 1.2782. Interestingly, we have seen the stochastic head back towards the oversold zone.

From an intraday perspective, the pair has been consolidating above the 76.4% Fibonacci support level. Price looks to be heading lower from here but a breakdown from this trend of higher lows would add greater confidence that price will end the uptrend that has dominated the past two months.

With that in mind, a break below 1.2425 brings confirmation that the reversal indicated as a possibility on the wider weekly chart could be coming into play. In particular, a break below the 1.2515 Fibonacci level raises confidence that we will ultimately break that key 1.2425 threshold.

Wave Cancel invalid level: 1.93472 The GBPAUD Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart provides an insightful look into the current market dynamics using Elliott Wave Theory. The analysis indicates the market function is a trend, meaning the market is following a specific direction rather than moving sideways or in a choppy manner. Current Market Mode: Corrective The mode of the market is described as corrective, indicating that the current phase is a pullback or retracement within a larger trend. This corrective mode is part of the broader trend and sets the stage for the next impulsive move. Market Structure: Orange Wave 2 The market structure is identified as orange wave 2, a corrective wave in the Elliott Wave cycle. The market is currently undergoing a temporary correction before resuming its trend. Position: Navy Blue Wave 3 The position within this structure is navy blue wave 3, signifying this wave is in the development phase within the corrective mode. Next Lower Degrees: Orange Wave 3 The direction for the next lower degrees points towards orange wave 3, indicating that after the completion of the current corrective phase (orange wave 2), the market is expected to transition into an impulsive phase (orange wave 3). This anticipated move is important for traders as it signifies the potential for new trading opportunities in the direction of the broader trend. Analysis Details Orange Wave 1 of 3 Completed: This suggests the initial phase of the impulsive move (orange wave 1) has finished, and the market is now in orange wave 2, a corrective phase. Wave Cancel Invalid Level: The critical wave cancel invalid level is set at 1.93472. If the market falls below this point, the current wave count would be invalidated, necessitating a reevaluation of the wave structure. Summary The GBPAUD daily chart analysis identifies the market as being in a corrective trend within orange wave 2 and positioned in navy blue wave 3. The direction for the next lower degrees suggests an upcoming orange wave 3 impulsive phase. The market is currently experiencing orange wave 2 after completing orange wave 1 of 3, with a significant wave cancel invalid level at 1.93472.   GBPAUD Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4-Hour Chart GBPAUD Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Trend Mode: Corrective Structure: Orange Wave 2 Position: Navy Blue Wave 3 Direction Next Lower Degrees: Orange Wave 3 Details: Orange wave 1 of 3 looking completed, now orange wave 2 is in play.
