GBP/USD

GBP/USD Daily Chart

Chart - Created Using FXCM Marketscope 2.0

  • GBP/USD outperforms coming into November, but a failure to maintain the bullish momentum in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) would bring the downside targets back on the radar; 1.5900-1.6150 range in focus.
  • Bank of England (BoE) widely expected to retain current policy; may continue to see 7-2 split should the committee refrain from releasing a policy a statement.
  • Nevertheless, retail-crowd remains net-long GBP/USD from the end of October, with the DailyFX Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) currently standing at +1.31.

USD/CAD

USD/CAD Daily Chart
  • After carving higher-low in October, USD/CAD threatens resistance ahead of Canada Employment report, which is expected to show a 5.0K contraction in job growth.
  • Despite the more neutral tone from the Bank of Canada (BoC), pair looks poised for a further advance as the RSI breaks out of the near-term bearish trend.
  • Want to see a close above 1.1310 (23.6% retracement) to 1.1320 (61.8% expansion) for conviction/confirmation for a higher-high.
