Canadian Dollar Futures - CAD - Loonie

CAD – The Loonie has a Broken Wing

I hate to date myself here but as a young man I was very fond of the video game duck hunt- a “classic” shooting game for the first version of Nintendo. Just as those birds fell from the sky I think the Loonie short term is headed south. Most followers are aware I have been […]

It appears a triple top pattern is being established on the weekly chart over the last three weeks. The horizontal red line […]
