There is a downward trend on USD/CHF. I’m going to open shorts if the price fixes below the 0.9665 local support. The goal for taking profit is 0.9630.

My yesterday's expectations for USD/CAD have justified. The market was pressed by aggressive sales. The deputy head of the Bank of Canada noted that the regulator may discuss the question of the interest rate raising in the nearest future.
The technical pattern is ambiguous now. I don’t exclude a technical correction. The USD/CAD has formed a rather strong reversal formation – the divergence of the price and the MACD histogram.

I’ll buy, if the price fixes above the 1.3290 local resistance. Potential movement – to 1.3340.
I’ll sell the pair, if the price overcomes the 1.3255 mark. The goal for taking profit is 1.3225.

The Fed meeting is in the focus today. The market will be volatile. I decided not to open positions today. The situation is ambiguous at the moment. Most experts believe that the Fed will raise the interest rates. At the same time, the weak statistics on inflation and retail sales in the US has been published recently. The dollar has sharply weakened against the major world currencies. I plan to wait for comments of the Fed representatives and the FOMC economic forecasts.
I’ve identified the following key levels and will watch how the price reacts to them. I'll be back to trading tomorrow. Wish you all nice profits!

GBP/USD

support: 1.2725, 1.2650
