Loonie breaks to new highs after BOC rate cut

BOC cut Overnight Rate to 0.50% from 0.75%. That also put Bank Rate to 0.75% from 1.00% and Deposit Rate to 0.25% from 0.5%. The move was not entirely unexpected but, in combination with breaking strong six-month resistance and trading to new highs, it was enough for the pair to jump 120 pips on the release and 180 pips on the day.
The pullback was minimal so far. Post-release pullback was contained by Weekly Resistance 2 (1.2882). After that, the pair made new high for the day (1.2958) and has …

It wasn't able to follow through overnight as it remained in tight consolidation between 122.80 and 123.30.

EURo through the roof

Euro has convincingly broken above late March and early April highs near 1.1050. It was trading below 1.10 during most of the European session but then much weaker than expected US Advance GDP release sent it through the roof.
It busted January low (1.1098) and all three daily pivot point resistances in the process, before stalling ahead of 1.12 level and Weekly Resistance 3 just above that. Hawkish FOMC statement then offered longs an excuse to take some off the table and the pair subsequently …
