CADCHF - Are We Still In An Upwards Trend?

Long
jpeacockfx Updated   
OANDA:CADCHF   CAD/CHF
Analysis:
Looking at the chart things may look bearish to the untrained eye as we've had a strong recent move to the downside, however price to us still looks bullish and this is the last line of defence so we expect that this is where most of the bulls will be wanting to push price higher from. We still think that price is in an upwards trend as we haven't broken the most recent higher low. Whilst some people may think we put in another higher low at the top of the move, we didn't as price didn't break higher so we never formed a higher low, just a higher high, meaning that our area we have marked out is where the most recent higher low is. This may be difficult to understand but this is how we see the market trend. At this area we have marked out, in the past we can see that this level has held as both support and resistance so we'd expect this to happen again, making it a great possible entry zone. To add to our idea we also have the 50% fib retracement level which has been tagged so we expect to see some sort of bullish pressure from this level as this is where some bulls will be sat at wanting to hold price and push it higher, which goes in favour of our idea. Fundamentally the CAD is the 4th strongest major currency compared to the CHF which is the 3rd weakest major currency, so this is already favouring our bullish idea. As of the most recent report for institutional positioning we did see a big decrease in long positions but we saw a 2 times bigger decrease in short positions so this is bullish for the CAD. For the CHF, in regards to institutional positioning we did see an increase in both long and short positions so this is slightly bullish for the CHF, but not as bullish as the CAD is. Tomorrow we have some big news coming out for the CAD so this could give us the catalyst that we need to see price head to the upside and for the CAD to make its bullish run. Fundamentals are what actually drive the markets, so whilst the technicals don't look that clear to the untrained eye, the fundamentals are clear. The CAD is stronger then the CHF. This is why overall we are bullish on CADCHF.

After Trade Comments:
This was another trade that we were in that was affect my some news that came out today which went against our bias. Some news came out for the CAD which was negative so we saw the CAD lose some of its strength, which lead us to get stopped out. Again we stuck to our plan exactly so there isn't anything to improve on here. We just took a loss, exactly like every trader does. The sooner you accept your losses as a trade the sooner you will be profitable. Lets not dwell on our losses but instead look for the next setup!
