USD/CAD Short Setup: CAD Strength on Oil Recovery
✦
**Pair/Symbol:** USD/CAD
Crude oil has recovered 4% this week on supply cut announcements, which is a direct tailwind for the Canadian dollar. USD/CAD has consequently dropped from 1.3720 to 1.3650 and is now testing the 200-day moving average from above.
The daily chart shows a clear breakdown below the rising trendline from February. Today's bearish engulfing candle at the trendline retest is a clean setup for further downside.
**Entry:** 1.3648 (short after engulfing close)
**Stop Loss:** 1.3695 (above retest high)
**Take Profit 1:** 1.3580 (weekly support level)
**Take Profit 2:** 1.3510 (monthly demand zone)
**Risk/Reward:** 1:1.5 to TP1, 1:2.9 to TP2
Watch WTI crude — if oil pulls back sharply, this CAD strength thesis weakens. Set an alert on crude at $78 for risk management.
