Earlier this week, we looked at the GBP/CAD as it signaled a bearish outlook: GBP/CAD still looks bearishGBP/CAD 4H Chart 8/11(click to enlarge)Slingshot:- In that previous update, we looked at a developing slingshot.- Basically price came back below the cluster of 200-, 100-, and 50-period simple moving averages (SMAs). Then it came back to test the cluster as resistance.- The fact that the cluster of SMAs acted as resistance suggests that bears have taken over. Along with the subsequent downswing, this price action is call a slingshot.Low on the year:- As noted in the previous update, a slingshot that can break below 1.70 should open up the 1.6690-1.67 low on the year. - With the prevailing bearish trend and momentum, it would not surprise me if GBP/CAD falls below that low on the year.Scenarios:- The "ideal" scenario for GBP/CAD to break that low on the year is if UK slips into a recession AND oil climbs back up.- I think for the low on the year to hold, WTI crude oil price needs to fall back below 40, and the UK economy to be basically Brexit-proof. - I personally see more chance of the former scenario materializing, so I think GBP/CAD will continue lower in the medium-term (within a month or 2).
