USD/CAD – Potential Bullish Butterfly

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis will release the Final GDP q/q later today. Therefore, the USD/CAD can offer us some nice trade opportunities.

Technically, the pair is likely to go for the C to D wave which completes somewhere around 1.2960. But for now, the pair is overbought and should come down to complete the retracement.

 

On the downside, the pair is likely to face a solid support at 1.2823 and a break below can lead prices towards 1.2756.
