CAD: Signs of Growth May Persist
Canadian retail sales showed a slight rebound in February, rising by 0.1% after a 0.3% drop in January. However, this failed to fully offset the steeper decline earlier in the year, suggesting a weakening momentum in consumer spending. The increase in February was driven by gains in sectors such as sporting goods, hobby retailers, and building materials. Despite the improvement, ongoing challenges in retail sales growth, coupled with easing price pressures and a cooling job market, may prompt policymakers to consider adopting easier monetary policy in the coming months. However, there is little evidence of a sharp decline in retail activity that would urgently necessitate a rate cut by the Bank of Canada.
AUDCAD - D1 Timeframe
After breaking above the previous high on the daily timeframe, we’ve seen the price action on AUDCAD’s charts gradually slip back down to complete a retest of the drop-base-rally demand zone. In order to complete this execution, I have plotted a Fibonacci retracement tool, which shows me that the trendline support, and the moving average supports are all confirmations of my bullish sentiment.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 0.89154
Invalidation: 0.88040
GBPCAD - D1 Timeframe
The price action on GBPCAD replays a textbook break-and-retest pattern; following the break above the previous high, we’ve seen price retest the demand zone as well as the trendline support - with a little help from the Fibonacci retracement level, and the moving average support. Clearly, the bullish array of the moving averages pretty much confirms a bullish sentiment to be factual.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.72204
Invalidation:1.70146
EURCAD - D1 Timeframe
Here again we see the same pattern play out on the daily timeframe of EURCAD; we clearly see the uptrend as indicated by the break above the previous high, with the 50 and 200 period moving averages serving as support areas for the price action at the moment. Combining this with the drop-base-rally demand zone and the Fibonacci retracement levels, I think it’s safe to anticipate bullish price action from that region.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.47286
Invalidation: 1.45723
