USD/CAD and Gold
One of the things I like most about the currencies is the way they are correlated with other markets around the world. I think it's pretty cool to be able to look at all of these different charts and see how they move around with each other. As everybody here knows, some of the big things currency traders watch for are the relationship between Gold/Oil and the commodity currencies. I've been watching the price of gold recently as it works higher and using that to trade in USD/CAD. Obviously as the price of Gold/Oil increases, CAD gets stronger against other currencies. The chart I attached here shows how that's been the case lately. While not exactly correlated, the two charts are extremely close. A reversal in one chart led to a reversal in the other within just a few days at the most. Which one comes first? Did the chicken come before the egg, or did the egg come before the chicken? It seems that the USD/CAD has led Gold by about a day or so on the last few market reversals. Well currently, the USD/CAD seems to have rolled over again and is heading lower. At the same time, Gold looks to be working out a fourth wave triangle, and is set to thrust higher soon. So if we can get Gold to pop higher it would then confirm the move lower in USD/CAD, and make for a pretty nice trade.
