Maybe a bottom for the Canadian dollar at $0.9400
Three year weekly chart for the Canadian dollar showing major support at $0.9400.

The major trend is down, the intermediate trend is down and the near-term trend is down for the Canadian dollar. It is trading below the 200-day and 50-day simple moving averages. But in all this negativity, there is a glimmer of hope—depends on your perspective—that the bottom is $0.9400. This was a support point back in October, 2011 and the hammer is an indication of a bottom. But never trade the bottom: you know the adage about never trying to catch a falling knife.

Reference the last analysis for the TSX Index and take a look at the performance of the materials sector. Then take a look at the chart for copper. The Canadian dollar can never escape the fact that it is a commodity currency.

Canada has some nice pizza restaurants and great ski hills: it is not all about copper and oil.

Copper could test major support

Copper weekly chart showing the major downtrend, intermediate downtrend and the near-term downtrend

Copper is trading below the 200-day and 50-day moving averages. The major trend is down. The intermediate trend is down. The near-term trend is down. And copper could test the major support zone in the above weekly chart.

The TSX Index will not break resistance of 13,500 with the negative implications of this chart on the materials sector.

Copper candlestick chart analysis

Dr. Copper still has a negative prognosis for the world economy

Nothing has changed since I last analyzed copper on June 22, 2013. The major trend is down. The intermediate trend is down. And copper is trading below the 50 day and 200 day moving averages.

What implication does this have for the TSX Index?  The TSX index is currently in a near-term uptrend but there is no way it will break major resistance of 12,900 unless there is an upward movement in copper.

Tall white candlestick on Friday: 6.50% gain
Tall bullish white candlestick on the daily copper chart on Friday needs follow-through next week.

Copper Daily Candlestick Chart

Nice pop on Friday but there has to be follow-through next week. The intermediate trend is still down and the 20-day simple moving average is a good approximation of the intermediate downtrend.

Reference the last chart analysis on April 18, 2013 where I highlighted the hammer.

Canadian Dollar chart analysis

Near-term uptrend for the Canadian Dollar and intermediate downtrend
Near-term uptrend for the Canadian Dollar with resistance at $0.99

Canadian Dollar 6 Month Daily Chart

The near-term uptrend in the Canadian dollar will meet heavy resistance at $0.9900.

Reference my post from January 25, 2013: Canadian Dollar and TSX Composite Index Diverge and the excerpt from the post.

If the positive correlation between the TSX Index and the Canadian dollar is still relevant, then either the TSX trades down or the Canadian dollar trades up. At this stage in the market, I do not forecast an uptrend for the dollar so one can conclude that the TSX Index will not advance much more is this intermediate uptrend. The Canadian dollar has lost some of its luster as a petro-currency and safe haven investment.
