USDCAD has been on an upward momentum for quite some time and now it’s losing steam. 
The Return of the Bear is Near!

Hi @YEW_Trade

Thanks for sharing your analysis on USDCAD.

USD/CAD may continue to retrace the decline from the monthly high (1.2854) ahead of the FOMC rate decision on December 15, but the recent reversal in retail sentiment looks poised to persist as the exchange rate trades within broad range in the second half of 2021.

  • Keep in mind, USD/CAD cleared the January high (1.2881) in August as an inverse head-and-shoulders formation took shape, but the exchange rate failed to defend the July low (1.2303) in October as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipped below 30.
  • As a result, USD/CAD may continue to trade within a broad range as the recovery from the October low (1.2288) failed to produce a test of the September high (1.2896), with a textbook RSI sell signal taking shape in December as the oscillator fell back from overbought territory to push below 70.
  • However, lack of momentum to close below the 1.2620 (50% retracement) to 1.2650 (78.6% expansion) region may push USD/CAD back towards 1.2770 (38.2% expansion), with the next area of interest coming in around 1.2830 (38.2% retracement) to 1.2880 (61.8% expansion), which largely lines up with the monthly high (1.2854).
  • Need a break of the September high (1.2896) to bring the August high (1.2949) on the radar, with the next area of interest coming in around 1.2980 (61.8% retracement) to 1.3040 (50% expansion).

    • No doubt the impact of FTX crash has created a negative impression among crypto enthusiasts especially centralized exchange users. Of course FTX wasn't the first CEX to crash but its occurrence came as a shock looking at the position the crypto exchange occupies in terms of ranking and being the favourite cex for derivative trading before the sad event. This has questioned the integrity of CEXs and a lot of users have embraced DEX while others opt for a more secure and transparent CEX. Talking about security and transparency as a mechanism to make users have complete trust in the remaining CEXs, two things comes to mind and that's "Proof of Reserve" and "User Protection Fund". This are obviously a good indicator and post FTX development but how effective could this be looking at the numerous crypto currency exchanges out there. Among the top 10 ranking CEXs, only Binance and Bitget has a veriable proof of  users protection fund of $1B and $300M respectively. " Source from Nansen" Although some exchanges like OKX, Huobi and Bybit also claimed to have user protection funds but it is not publicly verifiable which of course raises eye brow about the integrity and transparency of such claim. We can't actually do without CEX because we need it for our daily trading hence the reasons why more effective measures needs to be taken to secure users funds. Though Binance and Bitget seems to be on the right path but it's also important for this CEX to declare their Proof of Liabilities because FTX also did about two audits before it collapsed. A lot of users are still skeptical keeping their assets on CEX due to fear of the unknown but could this development from Binance and Bitget restore trust and confidence back to users?
    • Yes, there are may time-sized cycle. I will bear in mind your data. It is very good. This is going to be an interesting year forward! All the best.  
    • Here's some more clues as to what the markets are doing - Remember, this just would not work if markets were random This is Gann's Square of Nine (9) - He used it to work on both price and time It's basically a spiral of ORDERED numbers around a circle of 360 degrees, divided into sections  If you look closely enough you will see if you pulled number "1" up and towards you, the form would create a PYRAMID  As you can see in this simpler Gann Sq of 9 below, we can split the sq into GEOMETRICAL harmonics, in this case this is a cardinal cross Get the reference number point "61" and work through 65,69,73,77,81,86,91 etc - you can follow the sequence easily enough and see that those prices are following the natural order sequence of those cardinal point cross points...................... Here's those points in TIME (MONTHS) from the Oct 2022 LOW on the SP500 market - As you can see MANY MANY hits to the month and then the market reversed to some degree - KNOWLEDGE of this method would of allowed you to place those dates on your charts in 2002! YEARS in advance and this is just one method of many that pinpointed the 2009 low from a TIME perspective  THT
