Trade Rationale:

Right now I am bullish on USD. I think if we see more sell of in other markets, we could see dollar rally. If price goes above 1.0000 it should continue rise. I think if the pair breaks out of the double bottom, it has potential to rise around 450 pips, roughly the height of the double bottom.

Trade Adjustments:

I will have to gauge risk sentiment and be wary of a false break above parity. I might keep my trade open longer if the move up is very strong.

Not too sure on a bullish USD. Gold’s been rallying, a common source of CAD-buying.
