Technical analysis of USD/CAD for January 12, 2016

General overview for 12/01/2016:

Yesterday's swing high has been broken and this is why the main count has been invalidated. When we take a look at a higher time frame like H4, the wave progression still looks impulsive, but the projected target levels are rather close to the current price. Moreover, there is still no sign of the overbalance and price is still trading inside the dashed blue channel. The projected target for the wave 5 at the level of 1.4271 might be hit, but if wave 5 gets extended to the upside, further price targets are 1.4396 and 1.4551.

Support/Resistance:

1.4355 - WR1

1.4271 - Wave 5 Target Projection

1.4186 - Intraday Support

1.4098 - Weekly Pivot

1.4046 - Intraday Support

1.4010 - WS1

Trading recommendations:

Daytraders should consider to open sell orders from the level of 1.4271 with SL just above and TP at the level of 1.4186.
