USDCAD - Support of key average points higher

Alan Collins 3cAnalysis

Against a background of bullish signals for sentiment for this week yesterday began with selling pressure. That decline took USDCAD back to the 13 day mvg avg but, importantly, that point was not broken. The resulting rebound was not extensive but enough to create a mildly positive bias. So with these factors as a backdrop, this morning’s call is Buy at 1.2935 but leaving room to also buy a 1.2900 dip, yesterday's low. The risk is 1.2873, Thursday’s open, with upside targets of 1.2968, yesterday's top, 1.2985 and last Wednesday’s 1.3019 opening price.

Here's what I learned trading meme coins

I’ve been trading cryptocurrencies for the past seven years, with meme coins becoming one of the most exciting and implacable parts of my experience. I love them because they represent internet culture and community sentiment, and, let’s be honest, extreme speculation. Newly launched meme coins were especially tempting: get in early enough, I thought, and a small bet could turn into a huge return.

$20 billion offered, $2 billion taken: Why Treasury doubled its buyback cap

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
