In this article I will provide my view on the EUR/CAD. This is an interesting pair currently for trading with the FxTaTrader strategy. If you are interested in more detailed trading signals during the week we suggest subscribing to our premium service FxTaTrader Intra Week signals service.

EUR/CAD

The pair is clearly in an uptrend and it is gaining momentum. From a longer term perspective the pair has room to continue the uptrend. Around 1,5580 is a previous top from March 19, 2014. The following positions are placed for this pair after close of Monday US Session:

• As can be seen in the Currency Score chart in my previous article of this weekend the EUR has a score of 6 and the CAD a score of 1. 
• In the current Ranking and Rating list of this weekend the pair has a rank of 5. This list is used as additional information besides the Currency score and the Technical Analysis charts.
• Besides the general information mentioned the outlook in the TA charts also makes this an attractive opportunity.
• When trading a pair with the CAD it is important to check the development of the UsOil charts. The Weekly chart is showing consolidation in a downtrend and the Daily chart seems to start the downtrend soon. As long as there are no surprised to the upside it remains interesting to go short on the CAD.
