EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/CAD
EURUSD first resistance at 1.2190/95, first support at 1.2150/40.
USDCAD trades in a range from 1.2010/00 up to 1.2130/40 for 3 weeks. (We held 6 pips below here this week). Trade this range while we wait for a breakout (which I think is more likely to be in the direction of the negative prevailing trend).
GBPCAD holding a range of 130 pips for 4 weeks. A great market for scalpers. We bounced just 5 pips above 3 week trend line support at 1.7035/25 & topped exactly at first resistance at 1.7150/60.
