Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish channel on the 4hr Chart that has provided fairly accurate support and resistance.  However, the channel has now broken to the upside.  The pair also has broken the Daily Chart channel.  Lastly, there is a shorter term bullish channel emerging on the 4hr Chart.  However, at this point there is no clear direction the pair would be more likely to go, so we will stay on the sidelines for now.

USD/CAD (Swing Forecast)
Potential Strategy
Sell USD/CAD at 1.0664. Stop at 1.0709. Profit targets at 1.0596, 1.0544.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?Bearish Gartley - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong resistance @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?Bearish trend line on the Daily Chart and 50% of EF on the Daily Chart.
Reason for Strategy
We have drawn a bearish Gartley pattern on the USD/CAD 2hr Chart.  Although the pair has to rise quite a bit before entering, this setup has outstanding symmetry.  Also, the trade would enter at the bearish trend line which we have been watching for weeks.  Furthermore, the trade would enter at the exact 50% Fibonacci retracement of EF on on the Daily Chart.  This is an above average setup.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.0445 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.0709 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. Also, if the pattern comes within 10 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

Reason for Strategy
The AUD/USD has continued to fall rapidly.  We have drawn a channel because of this drop.  The pair also completed an ABCD pattern.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a bump up at this point, but there isn't enough convergence to post a trade.
