2022-08-22

by

The USDCAD on the daily chart has admittedly been sloppy. There are a lot of moves higher and moves lower on the daily chart going back to October 2021.   In the short term, however, the price of the USDCAD has been up 5 of the last 6 trading days.  Price action is more trending, or is it?
