USD/CAD Technical Analysis For April 13, 2011 Posted: 12 Apr 2011 08:15 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com   The USD/CAD pair rose today, only to find trouble at the 0.9650 area. The pair may in fact keep rising as oil prices are currently falling around the world. The Canadian dollar tends to be particularly sensitive to oil prices as so much of it flows out of Canada. However, let's remember that we are still in a long-term downtrend, and wait until we get to 0.97 to look for shorts. A break of the lows also signals another round of weakness.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis For April 13, 2011 Posted: 12 Apr 2011 08:00 PM PDT By ForexMansion.com   The GBP/USD pair had another bearish day today, as the market fell to settle around the 1.6250 level, a minor area of support.
