On January 2, NZD/CAD embarked on a sharp appreciation that has been developed within the limits of the channel up pattern. So far, the pair has managed to reach more than a five-year high; however, it failed to consolidate at this peak and moved lower to the pattern's support increasing the likelihood of a bearish breakout that, in fact, is also expected by traders who are bearish in 73.33% of cases, according to the SWFX data.
