The Loonie (UsdCad) had been in descending channel from the beginning of June this year. On Monday the 31st of July the price action closed outside the channel on the daily chart. The following day it tested the upper end of the channel when the pair retraced slightly.
The currency pair has remained above the support line of the channel and has confirmed the breakout. Once you have a closer look at the pair in a four-hour chart, you will see that the sentiment is still bullish, however the indicator that is confirming the long position is the golden cross that completed in the wee hours of the day (03/08/17) on the hourly chart (both below).
