Bull Flags and Opportunities in the Canadian Dollar Fund FXC

With the weakness in the US Dollar and strength in crude oil, the Canadian Dollar (and respective ETF (NYSE: FXC) have been rallying in a strong impulse up that may be setting up another low-risk opportunity into possible support.  Let’s see it.

“FXC” Canadian Dollar ETF Daily:

Starting with the March lows, we see a distinct positive momentum divergence that carried forth also on the weekly chart (it’s very powerful to have positive momentum divergences on two timeframes).

That preceded the large rally from $77 to the recent $92 high - notice how volume picked up as price rallied higher in March and has been especially strong over the last few weeks.

Price broke resistance at the $85 level and formed a quick bull flag off a new price and momentum high for 2009 (green arrow) which hinted that higher prices were yet to come.

We completed an official bull flag into the recent June highs which has also formed a new momentum high on the 3/10 Oscillator as well - hinting that odds could favor higher prices still yet to come.

In an uptrend, the 20 day EMA should be expected to hold initial support on any test, so this makes the chart attractive from a low-risk standpoint (at $88.50).  More aggressive traders could even place a stop beneath the 50 day EMA at $86 for more protection.

Also, the $87 price high in May could also be expected to hold as support (according to the “Polarity Principle” - old resistance becomes new resistance).
