USDCAD - Support of key averages points higher

Alan Collins 3cAnalysis

The gradual improvement from Friday’s low continued Tuesday. Bought at higher levels for a 2nd day in a row, USDCAD tested Thursday’s Marabuzo line – maintaining prices above the 13/100 day mvg avg area. Until/unless last week's top is exceeded our technical studies cannot be strongly positive. Nevertheless, buying on intraday setbacks places our focus on the topside despite the failed spike higher in Asian trading. So, our call for this morning is a Cautious Buy from London 7am but leaving room to also Buy any Dip to 1.3093, the 13 day mvg avg. The risk is 1.3060 with an immediate target of 1.3141. A move through that point then exposes sentiment to last week's 1.3171 top and 1.3198, the 8 week high.

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.
