Doji Highlights Reluctance From Traders On H4 Chart
USD/CAD traders appear indecisive on the pair as denoted by a Long-Legged Doji candlestick near 1.1270. This does little to confirm the Dark Cloud Cover pattern that emerged after a ‘false breakout’. A deeper correction is likely to find buying interest renewed at 1.1100 floor.

The four hour chart tells a similar narrative to the daily. A procession of Dojis highlights the hesitation from traders to swing the CAD in one direction. This leaves a more constructive setup desired to offer a clearer directional bias.
