Charts of the Week (9 July 2018)

USD/MXN Weekly Candlesticks & Ichimoku Chart
USD/MXN is trying to break through the bottom of the weekly Ichimoku cloud. With the possible improvement of a working relationship between the new Mexican president and Trump, the fundamentals are also reaffirming what the technicals are indicating. A close below the cloud will be a good indicator that the weekly downtrend has begun.

 

GBP/CAD Daily Candlesticks & Ichimoku Chart
GBP/CAD downtrend on the daily chart could be ending as price tries to break above the cloud. However, if BoC remains hawkish this week after an expected hike, it could cause that attempt to fail and result in a close below the Ichimoku cloud again. Keep an eye out for a good risk/reward trade if that should happen.
