EURCAD has been Bullish on the H4 chart. The buying pressure is not that great, but the price has kept making higher highs. Today’s first two H4 candles were Bearish corrective candles. The price is at a strong level of Support.

Today the GBP has a number of High impact news to encounter. The EURO is not as correlated to the GBP as it was before the Brexit. However, still, it is better to be a bit defensive with the EURO pairs as well. I would suggest that we might as well use a smaller trading lot than our usual trading lot on EURCAD today. A good thing about these news events is hopefully we get some excellent opportunities tomorrow on the GBP pairs.
