Yesterday’s signals were not triggered, as none of the key levels were ever reached.

Short Trades
Short entry following a bearish price action reversal on the H1 time frame immediately upon the next touch of 1.2400, or the bearish trend line shown in the price chart below at 1.2377.

Adjust the stop loss to break even once the trade is 20 pips in profit.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
USD/CAD Analysis
Again, the technical situation remains the same, with a bearish outlook but without especially strong movement. A new bearish trend line is drawn in the price chart below, linking key swing highs, which might provide a short trade entry opportunity after a bullish pull back. It would be a third touch, which tend to provide the best opportunities from rejections of trend lines. I have a slight bearish bias.
There is nothing important due today regarding the CAD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time.
