GBP/CAD 4H Chart: Channel Up
Comment: GBP/CAD bottomed out in early October, and since then the currency pair has been developing a bullish channel. Accordingly, we hold a positive bias with respect to the Sterling, especially considering the near-term technical indicators. The rate is expected to rebound from 2.0190/50 and test a tough resistance level at 2.0320. In case of success the price will be in a good position to rise towards 2.0570.
Alternatively, in case the lower boundary of the channel and the 200-period SMA fail to trigger a rally, the price will have a chance to stabilise near the monthly PP at 2.0086/58. However, the sell-off will likely extend deeper, down to a cluster of supports at 1.98.
USD/ZAR 4H Chart: Channel Up
Comment: According to the technicals the outlook on USD/ZAR is bullish. The currency pair is currently trading near the lower boundary of the upward-sloping channel, and a majority of the indicators are pointing north. The price is therefore inclined to confirm support at 13.76 and re-test Oct 29 high at 13.9166. If this resistance is broken, the target will be at 14.16, represented by the weekly R2, rising trend-line and September high.
On the other hand, a dip under 13.76 will imply a slide down to 13.60, where the monthly PP coincides with the weekly S1 and 200-period SMA. Meanwhile, the sentiment is distinctly bearish, as 70% of open positions are short.
