EUR/USD – USD/CAD

EURUSD shorts at 1.0830/40 worked perfectly as we hit & held the level of 1.0785/75 for a potential 50 pips profit (which is a surprise as I do not see it as a strong support level).

USDCAD we wrote: short term trend line resistance at 1.4250/60 today. Holding below 1.4260 targets 1.4210/00, perhaps as far as support at 1.4170/60. A break below 1.4140 risks a slide to 1.4100/90.

Shorts at 1.4250/60 worked perfectly . We broke support at 1.4170/60 but this level then worked perfectly as resistance on the bounce from 1.4100/90.
