USDCAD Elliott Wave Analysis - Trading Lounge.

U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar (USDCAD) Day Chart.

USD/CAD Elliott Wave technical analysis

  • Function: Bearish Trend.

  • Mode: Impulsive.

  • Structure: Orange Wave 3.

  • Position: Navy Blue Wave 1.

  • Next higher degree direction: Orange Wave 4.

  • Invalidation level: 1.43803.

Analysis details:

The USDCAD daily chart reflects a strong bearish trend with an impulsive wave structure. The market is currently in orange wave 3, following the completion of orange wave 2. This suggests that downward momentum remains strong, and further declines are expected.

At its current position in navy blue wave 1, the broader downtrend is in its early stages. As orange wave 3 progresses, the price is anticipated to continue its downward movement before entering a corrective phase in orange wave 4.

The next higher-degree wave to watch is orange wave 4, which will occur once the current bearish wave completes. This indicates that after the ongoing downward movement, a temporary pullback or consolidation could take place before the overall bearish trend resumes.

The invalidation level for this Elliott Wave structure is 1.43803. If the price moves above this level, the current bearish wave count would need reassessment. However, as long as the price stays below 1.43803, the bearish outlook remains valid, and further downside movement is expected.

Conclusion:

The USDCAD daily chart continues to show a strong bearish trend, with orange wave 3 currently in play. The 1.43803 level serves as a crucial resistance point, confirming the bearish scenario. The next phase in the Elliott Wave sequence will be orange wave 4, which may lead to a short-term upward correction before the overall downtrend resumes.
