The USDCAD rally was immediately retraced leaving behind a shooting star candlestick pattern on the daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">End of Elliott Wave Triangle Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcQ07Zkmw2Kfz8nuiDqhCPzG8qOmlGaXiyiax9H1mjjBLvgpyJ2iULUUk2qXeFagyjU1KrsSn_PBUPzcFgTLPjgJTBP2Zo37l5dAZTj8hjlezZx6a795g83qVPYeHN3Qb1oGnyAeIrx1LAujY0xj89tVg?key=P4JRr2KmcGbiZkXTJKAarg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s price action was dramatic, an important component to mark the end of a month-long Elliott wave triangle pattern. The shooting star candle popped slightly above the a-c trend line before declining. This is a common move for the terminal wave of a triangle pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this wave count, the decline is just beginning and would carry down to 1.3535 and possibly 1.3410.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful of this decline, if it appears. It is quite possible this upcoming decline in USDCAD would terminate an even larger triangle wave. Therefore, we don\u2019t know if it will sucker punch lower or be too strong to deliver significantly lower pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that if this larger triangle wave is the correct wave count, a massive USDCAD rally may begin from 1.34-1.35 or slightly lower levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"quick-tip-section disclaimer\"><div class=\"tip__destination\"><\/div><span>ELLIOTT WAVE TIP:<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span>Elliott wave triangles contain five waves labeled a-b-c-d-e.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current USD\/CAD Elliott Wave Count<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXco-5cMaPSuLLXtKoPAOUX2enkTCZ6E9q-S9Xt3EIJk5_fhcynO7NDBbyayfCMfc-geNOyoUovwofJEipNfIenlf9sa0pJUlExdAHOqzchzEKPdpfCDXyxBcqYhexuJkUbW-G_W97cllVVflNP39n6EwjsP?key=P4JRr2KmcGbiZkXTJKAarg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the current wave count for USDCAD appears to be wave (y) of ((e)) of X [triangle].
