Default USDCAD - Crown Formation

The bullish rally over past weeks seems to be over on this pair, as the market is now just below a weekly down trendline. The 4H time frame is showing a "crown" formation, a possible reversal to the downside. I went short from the 1H after the completion of the evening star formation.
Entry: 1.2601
SL: 1.2681
TP1: varies
TP2: 1.2132

See charts below.

Default USDCAD - Crown Formation

The last 4H bar close as an engulfing bearish formation, which is also a valid entry.
